Over 140! Eek! So here I am gaining again - three weigh-ins in a row of gaining, and a 3.4 pound gain over last week! Admittedly, I was so depressed yesterday that even though I didn't intend it, the day turned into a carb binge. Also, I gave blood on Friday so I think my body was cravings lots of extra food.

Today I am back on the straight and narrow with a goal of keeping my calories to less than 1300 each day. Also, since so much of my gain seems to be in my stomach (bloating), I am doing the GNC Complete Body Cleansing Program, a 1 week program of various supplements. I also ordered Candistroy and Parastroy and will use those when I finish with the GNC cleanse. I might follow that with a colon cleanse just for good measure, although with the amount of fiber I eat and the magnesium I take I doubt I need it.

I am desperate to find out how much of my weight gain is real and how much is just bloating. I'm not sure the cause of the bloat except that the BCAAs I was using may have gone bad. I threw out what little was left and opened a new canister.

As for exercise, I went to the gym today, AND then I also walked the last 1.5 miles to work from BART.

Brad decided he needed tomorrow off, so I'll be coming in 4 hours early and getting overtime. I planned on sleeping in tomorrow, so I guess I have the time. I really could have used the sleep, though.

As I mentioned above, I gave blood on Friday. This was my sixth time and I didn't get lightheaded at all (I usually do due to the drop in blood pressure). Here's the small size of the photos I took. Click on any of them to enlarge.
