My weight yesterday was 148.5 and today it was 147, so it's still hovering in the upper 140s, where it has been since the new year began. Ugh.

Stuck
I'm stuck not exercising and not eating well. And our gym membership expired yesterday so we have to decide how best to renew -- pay for a month at the higher rate, or pay for the full year and put it on hold while we're gone, leaving that money tied up for the six months we're gone? Or just pay-as-we-go, which I don't know if they even would let a local do.

Seems like gyms are offering free one- to three-month trials. Maybe you can find one of those. Then you'll be way far away when they want to bug you about joining ... A new gym can take some getting used to, but if you're using mostly cardio machines it may not matter much. Worth a shot.
Right now there are only two gyms in town, and only the one we go to offers childcare anymore! That's the trouble with a small town. There is a new gym being built a few blocks away so I'd like to keep my options open -- if they have childcare that would be the ideal place. So one way or another we'll probably just take the one-month membership before we leave, and then when we get back we'll consider our options anew.
I'd skip the membership entirely for this month. You're going to be unusually busy in the next few weeks anyway, so if I were you I'd just pull out your old exercise videos and do those for a few weeks and not bother with the gym. If you're desperate, can you use the facilities at the university?
Check with your gym to see if you can suspend your memebership. The last two gyms I have used have had that as an option - that way you don't have to re-join when you come back to the area, and you don't have to pay for a service that you are not able to use. I would imagine being where you are that a request like that would not be uncommon.
