Heartbreak

After working so hard yesterday to try and take off even more weight, I seem to have had a malfunction. I gained 5 lbs. I think it might have been due to the combo of strength training (is it possible to gain weight only about 5 hours afterward?), drinking LOTS of water, and it being my TOM (time of the month) soon. I don't know though, and that's what's worst about it. It's not like I ate worse than any other days.

I'm praying right now for a better day, because this is heartbreaking. That's a lot of backtracking. I was feeling SO great. And now, I feel quite hopeless.
I know I shouldn't weigh myself so often. And I actually wouldn't have really cared if it hadn't been 5 whole pounds! Granted, this morning it was back down another pound, but still.

Not only that, but I didn't sleep more than 5 hours last night. It's not good. Especially since getting good sleep promotes weight loss. Why am I having this insomnia lately? I don't get it.
