The Daily Weigh-In

Part of doing WiiFit on a regular basis is getting on the WiiFit board and doing a body test.  Of course, this also involves being weighed.  A big part of  French Women Don't Get Fat mentions the American obsession with weight, and calorie counting, and the negative impact of being weighed daily.

Radagast the Cat doesn't like being weighed either                   

    

People's weights fluctuate a lot every day, and I'd imagine women especially in that time of the month, like me right now, would suffer the same levels of disappointment when, despite having been back on track, I'm up nearly 2 pounds!

Is this water weight? Is this a quick and violent repercussion from my splurge on Sunday at my friend's gaming session, that included cupcakes and pizza?

Either way, it leads me to thinking about further things that I can do in order to change up my eating and dieting routine.

Today, for lunch, I decided to eat raw again, choosing a familiar recipe from the book, Raw Food Made Easy for 1-2 People. Adam and I made Zucchini Pasta al Pesto.

I used a lemon peeler to pull the zucchini into long spaghetti-like ribbons.  Adam made the marinara sauce -- which wasn't cooked (obviously, as it was raw), and was comprised of:

2 ripe tomatos

3/4 red bell pepper

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon of basil

1 teaspoon of oregano

1/2 teaspon of salt

He blended it up, and we ate it all together!

The fact that I'm enduring the hormones isn't helping the fact that I'm feeling inappropriately guilty about gaining the 2 pounds, but I'm hungry hungry hungry to boot.

We'll see how healthy snacks go today, but especially since I think I've found my perfect wedding dress, I have a pretty firm goal in mind and really want to stick to that!
