(Much needed) Day of Rest

I was right; I am still in the red by little more than a hair. I was thrown back by some gains that I can't explain other than to say that apparently not exercising for a few days a week makes me gain weight...in the bust...which seems unlikely. Many people would say it is from weight-training, or other, more specifically girly reasons but I am skeptical (it is not the right time for that to figure in). I think travel eating played a part, but, I am not too terribly upset about it. I am rather distracted by some other physical stuff that is confusing the living hell out of me at the moment. Maybe once I figure out why my body seems to be changing all the rules, I guess turn about is fair-play—I've been doing the same thing for the past few months—maybe then I will have the energy to be upset about measurements...but I doubt it. Especially because even with some odd gains, my waist still went down. I guess this is a weight-loss ideal. I won't poke at it; I will just be grateful.

I had the most amazing lentil salad last night. It had warm blueberries in it, and feta. So good!

I started doing push-ups yesterday, which is most of why I really need this day of rest. The other part of that relief is Leandro Carvalho and his cheerful death march to Brazil Butt-hood. It's so tough to hate that man while you are pliéing, heels lifted, sweating and feeling like you can't do even one more minute...then he says, "Come on, Don' settle for less! Don' save anything!" and he gets into the squat and says, smiling earnestly, "I'm here with you! Come on!"
Seriously, so hard to swear at him, the digital him even.
So now I am glad to just be sitting on my butt, "the bum bum!" Leandro calls it, getting my desk jockey work done. I will take a leisurely walk later to gawk at the tourists in town for Musikfest and that will be my moving around for the day.

Official Day of Rest update: In the red; Average loss: .1 inches.
I still do not have my own scale. Take that, quantification!
And, as it has been four weeks complete since getting on my current fitness and eating schedule...
One month update:
Pounds lost: 12
Overall average loss of 2.8 inches
4.2 inches lost from my waist, which is pretty nifty
