The Power of One Week 5 Weigh in

Not a great week. Snow and ice hit last week and I ended up with 3 days of no school due to snow and ice and no power in a ton of the schools. Three days home with my kids resulted in lots of snacking and no exercising (except for shoveling snow).

My parents had no power for a few days and we had them over. Instead of cooking, we ordered Chinese food. Haven't had it in a while, and it was so good! I didn't feel like I ate a lot of it but it kicked me in the butt and I put on close to 5lbs in just a few days. I really feel like the Chinese (and that special time of the month) led me to retain a TON of water. My socks dug into my legs and left indentation marks like when I was pregnant. I've been slugging water ever since, but couldn't fix it completely by today. For the first time, this challenge, I had a gain. So frustrating, but whatevs, it happens :)

Here are my weekly numbers:

Last week......................................... 180.8
This week..........................................181.6
