I cannot say I'm surprised. I'm not even terribly disappointed. After losing only .4 lbs last week, I gained .4 lbs this week. So, I figure it's a draw or a plateau over the past two weeks.
I had a weekend that was not conducive to weight loss. Oh, I suppose I could have said no to the potatoes. I could have had water instead of wine. But am I supposed to deprive myself and live what I consider to be abnormally, simply because I'm in a Biggest Loser contest? I think not.
It started Friday when we had a wonderful event to attend for cardiac wellness. The meal was terrific. Chicken, veggies, salad and wine. Saturday was Valentine's Day. We hadn't planned to go out, but we did and we had pizza and wine. Mind you, the pizza was whole wheat, thin crust. Sunday, we had a birthday party for a 3 year old. Needless to say, the food was geared toward the younger crowd. Cheesy potatoes. Hamburgers, hot dogs. Cake and ice cream. I ate veggies, salad and a hamburger patty - no bun. I did not have cake. Later on that night we went out for dinner yet again and I had a chicken dish with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, but I only ate half and saved the other half for lunch on Monday.
Now, here's my big finale. I slept funny on Friday and haven't been able to work out for several days because my neck won't allow me to turn my head to the right.
9 more weeks. I am down 12.8 lbs. I am OK!!
Thought for the day (or week or month)
Do you talk too much? Think about it.

Weird. I too slept funny Friday night..weird kink in my neck ever since. Up point 4.
That point 4 could have been a burp. It could have been a trip to the bathroom that didn't happen. It could have been a glass of water you drank.
Nine weeks to go. 12 pounds down. Like you said: You're doing just FINE. And lookin' even FINER!!
I did lose a few this week...and then i went for a mini-vay-kay to Toronto, which included a bottle of wine, an Indian feast and a plate of pasta that could feed a family of 12. And it could have fed them for one week. Weigh in on Monday might not be so pretty. But why deprive myself?
The contest rocks...but we have to live too! If point 4 was your price tag for living/loving life...so be it! Cheers to choking back another 30 litres of water...
And you IS lookin' good!
