Lose a Marathon Challenge - Weigh In

I am not at all surprised.  I'm surprised that the gain is so much, but I knew there would be a gain.  :/

06/18: 170.0
06/25: 168.8 [- 1.2]
07/02: 168.2 [- 0.6]
07/09: 171.8 [+ 3.6]


I had a bad week.  It actually started last Saturday and just kept going.  I am not a stress eater or emotional eater by any means.  When I get really stressed out or emotional, I can't eat.  We spent the weekend before my race at the lake and when I'm at the lake, I drink a lot of beer but don't eat much.  Luckily, I saw a small loss for that week.  However, after that, I lost it.  It was just an emotional roller coaster due to personal crisis and nerves because of my upcoming 5k.  I had to force myself to eat.  I stepped on the scale each day during this time and kept seeing a loss.  But by Thursday, my 5k was over and my personal crisis had been solved and I was able to eat again.  So I ate.  A lot.  And now I have a gain.  :/  I'm disappointed, sure.  But I'm just going to remember that this is life - and things are going to happen.  Gains and losses are going to happen and it's just a fact of life.  It's not permanent damage.  Just a little hiccup in my overall plans.  :)
