My results this week are mixed. It was disappointing to get on the scale and see that I gained one pound. However, I’m fairly certain that it’s due to water weight. Although I stayed within my calorie requirements for the week, I ate a lot of sodium (soy sauce, popcorn, rice cakes, etc.).
I felt a lot better when my new scale told me that I had gained some muscle mass and had a lower body fat percentage. My suspicion about water retention was confirmed when I saw my body water weight was higher, too. That’s why I love this scale. What other piece of equipment could make a woman feel BETTER when she gains a pound? (By the way – it’s on sale again on Amazon this week…marked down from $49.99 to $17.58 and eligible for free shipping!)
Tomorrow, Grace and I are accompanying Todd to San Antonio for a few days of rest and relaxation while he attends a professional conference. We don’t have any big plans other than the hotel pool, walking around the downtown River Walk, and some good Tex-Mex food! For meals, I’ll carry my protein shakes and a couple of HMR entrees, but we’ll probably eat out at least once every day. I won’t have a car during the days, so I was particularly excited to discover that our hotel is next door to a Pei Wei Asian Diner, a movie theater, and a big shopping center!
So, my goals this week are to:
- Fit in as many workouts as possible around my travel schedule.
- Stay within my daily calorie requirements while eating in restaurants.
- Enjoy a mini-vacation with my family!

I think the Harris Fast plan of analyzing weight variance in 4 week increments is a good thing, as week to week you can really vary. You look absolutely fabulous. I am going to buy the scale. We have wanted to buy a good one and that sale looks too good to resist. Have a great trip.
