The start of a new week

Sorry that I have not posted for a while. Sunday was pretty busy and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do about my scale. So when I weighed myself on Sunday I was heavier than my starting weight the week before. I could not imagine that would be the case though because even though I did not exercise much last week I did keep within my points for the most part so I should not have GAINED weight. Anyways, I think part of the problem is my scale. I weighed myself Monday morning again and it read 279 and then I weighed myself again and it said 271 and then I weighed myself again and it read 275. I am not sure which was the accurate weight. I have decided that when I weigh myself, I will do it three times to get a consistent reading and I have another, non-electronic scale that I will use to verify. So I also decided that having Saturday as my last day to the week in tracking food points is a decidedly bad idea. If I go out with my friends or got out to eat it will be on the weekend. I have decided to start in the middle of the week so that I will still have flex points on the weekend (and then the beginning of the week to work off the flex points). So, I will track Thursday to Thursday. My weight this morning was 276.6. At least I am headed in the right direction. The same weight showed up all three times of weighing myself so hopefully it will be right.

So, enough with that. I am trying to stick to my goal of working out 4 days this week. I did not really get anything in on Monday and Tuesday but I went swimming last night. It is really interesting that I get winded so quickly with swimming. At least though, no one can see me sweat and everyone is breathing hard in the water so it works for me :)
I am going to go swimming again on Friday and possibly Sunday. I think that I will try to take a walk tonight and go to the gym on Saturday afternoon. This will all depend on how I feel at the time though. I woke up with a really sore throat this morning that still has not gone away. This is a tell-tale sign of a cold. I am going to go to sleep early tonight and hopefully it will not progress into a cold but if it does I am going to have a very hard time sticking to exercising. The main reason is that I just get tired and sore. Well I am already tired and sore. I am sore all over right now. I hate being sick. I tend to lose my appetite at least.

So I am not going to make any predictions for this week. I am just going to commit to getting all my water in and I am going to track again. I kind of stopped tracking for a couple of days, but I am starting again! I will try to exercise as much as possible. That is the goal. Sorry this is a very boring entry but I am having trouble thinking at the moment. More later . . .
