210.2: It Happened

Monday I exercised at the gym, went to work and then got to have a crown started in the back of my mouth.  Typical things, right?  But see that number up there in the title?  I gained.  .4 pounds.  I'm trying to figure this out, so stick with me, ok?

It was the third day of exercising yesterday.  I did about 40 minutes of cardio and 400 calories. 

I ate my 1 egg breakfast and added half a bagel thin.  And true to form, my typical hunger/grazing/need to eat in the afternoon at work popped up.  But I chose a piece of low fat cheese to the tune of 50 calories.  Left work and went to the dentist.  Came home and had 1/2 cup homemade mac & cheese.  Then I had about 3/4 cup cubed chicken and salsa mix (leftovers from Sunday night).  About 7pm I had 1/2 a small banana with 1 teaspoon nutella, 1 teaspoon peanut butter and a tablespoon of light whipped cream.  

I was really thirsty yesterday and drank about 100 ounces of water, more than I've had since prior to surgery.  I even drank a 20 ounce bottle of water during the night.  My mouth hurts a lot and I was up about 4 times in the night.

I have to be honest though, I've been dreading the day that the scale no longer read a loss.  Maybe that's why I wasn't happy all the time when I weighed myself.  I've been waiting for the shoe to drop, so to speak.  Looking at my day, I didn't do anything different.  I talked it over with Pete and he thinks that it may have been all the water and no activity last night because of my dentist appointment.  I just don't know what it is. 

So here I sit, confused about the .4 pounds.  I spent yesterday afternoon figuring out a plan for the month and sure enough life throws a wrench in the plan.  And yet .4 pounds?  That's nothing in the scheme of things, right?  I've lost many pounds and will continue to do so.  I believe that I need to shake this off, keep going and not let it bother me.
