Well the one thing about being a woman is once a month we get bitchy, bloaty, and all around unhappy. That happened to me this weekend. I knew from past experience I wasn't going to post a loss for this week. As I was snuggled under the covers on Saturday morning I was trying to convince myself it would be a waste of time to go weigh in.
Here is how the good vs evil was playing out in my head...
Evil: "You aren't going to lose, you are bloated, just look at your feet"
Good: "It doesn't matter, you need your B-12 shot and you need to stay accountable"
Evil: "Just weigh in next week after this week is over and your body will be back to normal"
Good: "Get your ASS out of bed now and go weigh in"
So, I got up..took a quick shower, brushed my teeth...and headed out the door. The clinic opened at 9am and I was on the scale at 9:13.
Results...I didn't lose nor did I gain! AWESOME! Had my monthly visitor not appeared, I would have probably had a little bit of a loss.
I am glad GOOD won and I weighed in and got my shot.
I have some new followers to my blog and I want to welcome them. I still haven't figured out how to comment back to those who leave me comments..but I do want to recognize them and let them know I know they are here and let them know I am rooting for their success.
It is so nice to know that I am not alone on this weight loss journey. It is inspiring to see how others are doing and how they are handling their diets along with the stress that life throws at us. Keep up the good work everyone!
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't lose the weight, I give myself reasons why I can.
I'm glad you are maintaining, it's much better than gaining! My contest ended Friday (I came in 4th)..and I have not gained or lost an ounce since then! I am happy because I ate so badly at the State Fair and then at Joe's Crab Shack Saturday - went out to breakfast Sunday, and have been eating a lot this week, including Dove chocolates. UGH! My goal is to maintain until Monday because I have to get my labs done before I can go back to the clinic. A friend told me that because I hit a plateau going on maintenance for a week or two will help me break the plateau. (??)
ReplyDeleteI spent $300 on groceries last night and the only junk food I bought was some pudding cups for the kids, which will be gone by tonight, I'm sure. I brought fresh peaches to slice and aged Swiss cheese for lunch today. It was so yummy.
I'm going to try to do my best this week to eat moderately, and jump back on that wagon in full swing Monday! You are doing great, and are definitely an inspiration to me!
