So, I've decided to weigh in. How can I move forward without assessing the situation first? This is how I put out proverbial "fires" at work. What damage has been done? What can we do to fix it? What processes can be implemented so that it doesn't happen again? Those are the three things I ask myself whenever something goes wrong at work. I certainly should be able to do it with my health.

So, here it is: about a 10lb gain...that's the damage, check.

I know how I got here, so I know how to get back to under 290. The same way I got there in the first place. Control my eating, exercise 4 times a week with AM HIIT cardio and PM weight training...will fix, check.

During the past week or so, I returned to a disillusioned state. A state where I believed I was doing everything right when in fact, everything was wrong. I convinced myself that eating certain foods was ok for just this one day. But that one day turned into the next day and the next day and eventually almost a full week. I don't believe in depriving myself, so I will have to plan for one day every two weeks where I can have portion-controlled foods that I would not otherwise enjoy every single day. It was a failure to plan, period. If I plan for such days and increase workouts around those 2 days of the month, I can and will be victorious in continuing my weight loss....this plan will be implemented so that I never get back here, check.

i love your positive attitude.. and the fact is you are aware of what you could have done different and things you missed ... if you were working your butt off and ate a piece of lettuce for every meal and THEN gained.. then you know.. that's a problem... we'll take this as motivation and keep it movin!!

Great way to look at it Mel! Rather than beat yourself up about it, you've assessed the situation & what you need to do. And don't deprive yourself, you'll fail everytime. Great attitude, outlook & plan!! You can do this Mel!! = )

Thanks guys! So far so good today. :) I didn't feel like going to the gym, so I'm going to do a workout on the ON DEMAND feature on my cable. :)

Great attitude!!! And, not to make you feel any less accountable for your "gain", there is NO WAY I believe you gained that much in a week. I'm sure most of that is water weight. A few days of clean eating (a.k.a. back on track) and most of that will be gone. The fact that we get off track isn't what makes us overweight, it is when we stay off track. Good job!!!!

You are so brave...Congrats on getting back on track. I am going to get up again in the am and hit my workouts. I do need to incorporate some weight training. You keep me going Mel. Congrats on getting back on track...slowly but surely I am too.

Thanks Kendra. You're probably right...it certainly wasn't 10lbs of fat...I wouldn't be able to still fit in my "skinny bucket" clothes. Which I still do, thankfully! Thanks for the encouragement as always, you too Steph! We are in this together...one step at a time getting back. I didn't do my workout last night as I wanted, but I didn't let my eating get out of control either, so I'm going to take that as W for the day. Today is a new day with new choices to make. :)

Luv the attitude.....It really goes a long way. I know how easy it is to cheat 1 day then 2 and so on, but the key is to get up and keep on going. Its been a lil over three months and I am soo scared to get on the snitch (the scale)...I call it that because it tell everything..lol. I just got back to my old self about a week and a half and I know snitch cant wait to tell it...But like u I accept my wrong doings and put them in "check!"

Hey Mel! Sounds like we BOTH have some damage control! My week away, my bro took us out to eat every day--and you can't say NO to yummy warm pralines at the Charleston market!!! Your attitude already makes you a winner! This is only a set-back, BUT we will move forward and fight fat--LOOK OUT SKINNY BUCKET!
