Being a Weight Creeper

My weight is slowly creeping back up, and I am getting worried.  Earlier this week, I was 258.2.  This morning I was back up to 259.4.  I know exactly what's causing it though.  I've been eating more carbs at dinner.  Night before last, we went out to dinner and I had a dressing-soaked Caesar salad and a giant turkey sandwich, then last night made pizza wheels.  I do so much better when I eat meat and veggies for dinner and keep my carbs earlier in the day.

What is exciting for me, though, is that I am able to tell exactly what caused it and I know how to fix it, and have already made a plan to fix it!  I've got my dinner tonight all planned out, and I'm well within my calorie budget! I'm going to just pull myself back on track, and this is just a tiny blip in my journey.  And, thinking positive, I'm still down 1.2 pounds from last week's weigh in, and my official weigh in is tomorrow...so I have time to get some more weight off!

I was thinking this morning about things that can keep me motivated, and I have another one to add to my previous list.  We want to get Colby swim lessons, but we have to go in the pool with him.  I'm too embarrassed to be seen in a swimsuit right now, but maybe in 6 months, when we can start Lily on lessons....maybe I can lose 40+ pounds by June/July.

I finally sent an email to my brother and sister-in-law asking for help and support. I hit the send button before I could second guess myself too much!
