After vacation weigh in

Last week we joined our McMurray family in Jackson Hole for our annual fall vacation. We had a really fun time besides Timmy getting sick for 2 days so I spent one day of my vacation at home taking care of Tim and my brother-in-law who hurt his pelvis and couldn't really move.

I wasn't sure if I would gain weight on this trip because I knew I would eat hearty meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks and most lunches included dessert as well as dinner. However, I knew we would be hiking and shopping and moving around a lot. I am pleased to announce that I actually lost weight on this trip which is a good thing because I believe I have been plugged up with constipation and finally felt like I got it under control. When I left I was 154 and this morning I was only 153.2. This is good because I know I'm going to the doctor again next week and I really didn't want to gain more than a pound a week to avoid a possible lecture.

Anyway, I still probably care too much about weight gain but it's hard to get out of this mindset when my mind was on it every day for 9 months. Plus, I am not really sure how strict my doctor is on weight gain, he probably isn't very picky but I don't really know with so few visits under my belt.

As for exercise, I did exercise on Monday and I think it may have set my back in motion to feel out of place because by Tuesday night after packing all day, I was hurting pretty good. Justin rubbed it pretty good Wed. night and it felt better the next day. I also did some good hikes with the family which was fun and exercise. Hopefully more to come this week but I have a headache this morning that I need to get under control first.
