There may be weight gains ahead...

A couple of things struck me whilst queuing for weigh in (at a different group to that I usually attend) today: [] Whenever I think I've put on weight I have the same song going through my head - "Let's face the music and dance" (in the past this has been outnumbered by the Imperial march from Star Wars, but since I've got my slimming head back on track it has become prevalent). [] An overheard comment from the consultant to the new members pretty much summed up my attitude going into weigh in -"a gain is all part of the journey" Both of those sum up my feeling towards slimming at the moment - I have regained a sufficient amount of control that if I do put on weight it's largely through choice, and I know I can shift it again. With that attitude in mind, I queued for weigh in knowing that I deserved a gain given the excess syns I had consumed since the last weigh in. I steeled myself for a 3 or 4lb gain, which I felt would be fair. Imagine my surprise when the scales showed I'd only put on 1/2 lb! Relieved, chuffed, surprised - all of which has motivated me to get right back on track ahead of my next weigh in on Tuesday. Having thought about it, I think that it was only a small gain because: [] I had 3 training sessions in 3 days. I'm becoming fitter and reckon my metabolism must be a bit quicker as a result; [] A lot of the food that I have eaten has been superspeed, which seems to be couteracting the syns to some extent; [] When given a choice, most of the time I've made the right one, and have opted for more syns knowing that it will have an impact on the scales; and [] My body has become used to following plan most of the time, so (provided I get back on plan from now on) it's not trying to hold on to the extra syns I've taken on board. The alternative is that regardless of how well I do this week my body is storing up a massive gain. If that does turn out to be the case, then I will take it on the chin and get it shifted as soon as possible. Nothing will stand in the way of my slimming journey now.
