I'm not upset about what looks like a weight gain -- because I didn't really gain weight. I never actually weighed 164. The scale's battery was low and was giving me inaccurate weights! I think I'm starting to come off the plateau and move downward again, so that's good. My goal is still within reach in the fall, so I'm cool. I think that my body is adjusting to the significant increase in activity. Once I started ice skating and going to the gym, I started getting hungry, and so I was eating a bit more, and everything needed to settle into a new pattern. Anyway, I'm interested to see where I am this time next week. If I see even a half-pound drop, I'll feel comfortable that things are headed in the right direction.

Those darn scales - they get your hopes up and then... That's why I have 2 scales (LOL).

Thanks Mom2Boxers -- I really cook very simple stuff, as I've not had any training in culinary techniques (I can hardly handle a knife properly), so I have to stick with the easy stuff. I am trying to learn more different ways to cook fish, especially since fresh fish is coming into season for us now. I buy whatever is in the $7.99-9.99 price range -- but not previously frozen. And lately I've been asking the advice of the woman fishmonger at Whole Foods, and she's give me a lot of good tips. I generally by 1-1 1/2 pounds depending on price and how many are eating -- but I make sure there will be at least 6 oz of left overs to make fish salad for breakfast or lunch. Whitefish, Lake trout, and salmon make particularly good salad. If I can't get fresh fish, then I use the flash-frozen from Costco. I can get mahi-mahi and scallops from them for way less than fresh at the grocery.

Oh - love sea scallops! Yes, you did NOT gain, you evened out.

Thanks everyone. HCB -- you can get 2 lbs of giant sea scallops at our Costco for $24. I weigh out a 6 oz portion thaw them, and then toss with olive oil and spices and sear them in a pan. They are so yummy I can hardly stand it and very low calorie. In fact I think I need to thaw some out for dinner on Friday!
