I am almost willing to forgive Starbucks for the zucchini muffin debaucle after today. I just got back from my Saturday morning walk and coffee ritual, and I treated myself to a wonderful little Rio Citrus Salad. It was made of fresh grapefruit, orange, and pineapple chunks, interspersed with a few crunchy red grapes. Really refreshing and tasty, and served in a nice 100 calorie portion. Yum!

Saturday is my normal “official” weigh in day. But I have decided to take a break from the scale for a week or two. I’ve had a frustrating couple of weeks. I’ve upped my exercise significantly and I’ve been watching my calories, yet my weight has gone up. The math just doesn’t make sense. Normally, I would just be able to shrug it off and keep going, but this time, it’s really getting to me. I’m getting into that frame of mind where I’m obsessing over my weight. I’m catching myself stepping on the scale multiple times a day, which I NEVER used to do. For my own sanity, I need to take some time to stop focusing on numbers and just focus on eating well and moderately and being active. That’s going to be easier said than done.
