Week Seventeen: Trying to stay the same

So my mom came last week. We had a great time! We went shopping and out to eat just about every day. My goal was to just stay the same weight this week. I weighed in at +.4 pounds. Not too shabby. When my mom was here, I noticed my scale going up and up and up. Seriously, we had Cinnabon, Olive Garden, 5 Guys, Texas Roadhouse. The scale was going up. I tried to order well but that's just a lot of eating out. By the time my mom left I was almost 2 pounds heavier. So instead of panicking or giving up (which is what I would have done 5 months ago), I realized that I had the tools, the know-how and the ability to lose that weight again. I just tightened the reins a little bit and moved more and was back down by my weigh-in. I do not regret anything I did during my mom's stay. We had such a great time and I really didn't go out of control, but I was able to get things back where they should be with ease. I think I can stick with this for life!
