Monday Weigh-In 6

It is now Thursday and I'm finally coming to the realization that I need to post this dismal Monday Weigh-In. I gained 2.8 pounds this week. I was pretty sure I would not lose, but I'm disappointed at this number! Maybe my walks this week were difficult because there's more of me to move around, instead of less! I need to take a serious look at what I'm eating as I've stopped tracking my calories because I've been eating pretty much the same thing every day. I didn't really realize I had stopped tracking!
The scale last Monday:
217.8 pounds

The scale today:
220.6 pounds

Pounds gained this week:
+2.8 pounds

Net pounds lost since May 2, 2012:
-8.9 pounds

I need to look at this long term...this is a blip in the process and I think it is important to JUST KEEP GOING. I've increased my walk and increased my strength exercises (I'm on exercise #9 of the Diamond Dozen, almost there)! I also purchased 5lb dumbbells, though I found a great arm workout that makes me think that I need 3lb dumbbells (for now).

So...despite this set-back, I can forge forward!

UPDATE 06/29/2012:  My sister loaned me her 3lb weights!
