Right now I have the desire to sleep in tomorrow, not get up and go to WW, not get on the scale and face the music. But I will get up and go even if it shows a 5 lb gain. While I've done nothing worthy of losing weight this week and perhaps my Saturday weight was too low (down 2+ lbs from the day before). But this much of a gain.
Let's examine the week..... (and I should say that the week isn't even over yet. It's only 10:15 on Friday, but I need to reverse this NOW)
Saturday: was a good day except perhaps the water
Sunday : +1 lb - The start of the Energy Ball consumption. Not enough water drank. Not enough steps (as I hit 10K at 10:00 am and probably didn't have 12K for the whole day). Not enough fruits and veggies
Monday: Stayed the same. Good day until 2:30 when got home and binged on Energy Balls. Stressed in general. Not enough water. Not enough walking. Dinner was grilled cheese, corn and tater tots = not enough fruits and veggies.
Tuesday: +1.6 - WFH: Woke up very dehydrated. But had no calories until 9:00 am, my normal breakfast not until 10:30 and fell off the wagon big time at 12:00 - Didn't eat my normal foods (stress!). And then had a salty meal at 7:00 pm. Not enough water. Not enough fruits and veggies.
Wednesday: +1 - WFH: Okay until 11:00 then binged on not horrible foods (because we don't really have any in the house) from 11:15-11:45 and then didn't eat again until 6:00. Not enough water. Not enough fruits and veggies.
Thursday: +1.2 - Woke up to ovulation pain.Add well until afternoon snack - they were having fantastic cupcakes for Valentine's Day - Had 1. Had salty mexican food for V-day. I did skip the crappy grocery store cupcakes. First day all year that I didn't hit 10K steps - Probably ended up with 9100 but didn't have any extra steps until 4:00 pm and just didn't feel like walking after dinner (overate at dinner for the first time in a long, long time)
Friday: +.4 - Grand total of +5.2 in 6 days. When the scale jumps 3-4 lbs in a day, you know it is water weight. When it is a steady gain all week, that is here to stay. So my sole focus needs to be to get rid of it!
So the consensus is:
Every morning I wrote a note about water and walks - but really not sticking to the foods I normally do and not the schedule (ie letting myself get too hungry) didn't help. Even today I decided to have a smoothie but I just had it at 10:20 - That is NOT good!!
So I will continue with my day and get through this and try to think about next month - while this isn't all ovulation, part of it is - maybe I am more stressed during ovulation?!
But I did keep weighing myself this week no matter what and that is a HUGE plus!!! Win for the week.
What will next week bring?
It's a little odd week. The kids are on vacation, but I am not taking any time. My husband has Monday off and he's taking Thursday and Friday off. I may WFH days I don't normally. And the weather seems a little iffy next week, but I am really going to TRY for it to be as normal a week for me as possible. *crossing my fingers*

So the consensus is:
- Keep with my schedule - do no deviate - Eat the foods I normally do at the times I should
- Get in my waters - know mater how hard it is
- Have dinner with not so much starch and lots of veggies
- Get in my steps
