Derailing. I think this is the word that describes it the best. I am spiraling out of control. Just weighed in this morning with a 7 POUND WEIGHT GAIN. I know this is my fault. I went to the lake this weekend and binged on beer and chips and god knows what else. I’m not sure what else to say about that. I know what I did wrong, I know what i need to do, I just need to do it…
Here is to not having a breakdown? Ya, sure that’s it….
Hopefully I have a more positive post in the future.
Hmmmm, well…. I am pleasantly confused. I seem to have lost .1 pound, despite having not tracked anything but my breakfast for the last 6 days. Let me tell you, I have NOT been good either. I mean, I have been trying to stay relatively healthy, but I am pretty positive that had I clocked in all my food this week, I would have gone over every single day.

Anyways, I am going to be writing more about my weekend/vacation from work in the next post, complete with lots of photos.
Next week, it’s focus time. Seriously. I may have gotten lucky this week, but it’s not going to keep up that way. I have goals I need to hit. Lots of them. Thanksgiving in Houston, Hawaii, Dirty Girl Mud Run, and my friend’s wedding! No time for slacking!
Alright, which cute animal shall I choose to accurately portray my emotions about this week’s weigh-in…..
Ah yes, here we go:

So, I gained a pound. However, I can’t say I am all that surprised or disappointed about it. I know that I hadn’t moved a pound all week, and then on Sunday, I had gained one…
I have been really lackadaisical about my eating this week. While I have been tracking and everything has been coming relatively close to my 35+ (now 36+) point goal, I feel like I have been really lazy about my produce intake and just… generally caring I suppose. It’s hard to explain.
Also, I have been at the gym, pretty much constantly, and while I am there, I do a lot of weight training, because it’s easy for me and I hate cardio (however, I also do cardio though, I would like to note). So, who knows why I gained that pound, let’s just chalk it up to not being surprised about it.
I am inspired though to work hard this week. I feel like last week was a nice little vacation on the whole food issue, but now it’s time to step it up!

This. This is how I feel today:

I lost 5.6 lbs today at my weigh in… Actually, naked it’s 6 pounds, but I wont split hairs. ;)
I have officially hit my 5% weight loss goal. I got to say, hitting the gym 5 days this week and sticking pretty close to my diet really paid off. I hope that I can keep it going before the whole PMS things happens again, haha!
Happy Sunday!
Well, another gain this week. However, let me explain why I don’t think it was a gain. Actually, let me start with an apology to any male readers right now (you’ll see why). With a consistent loss every day on my on home scale, Mother Nature decided to pay me my womanly visit, oh about 30 minutes before my weigh in. What had seemed like a loss all week quickly turned into a gain that morning on my at home scale and seemed to say the same thing on the WW scale. Because emotions were running wild, I literally almost started crying (shocking, I know), and it took everything in me to just tough out the meeting. In the meantime, my friend was texting me, and COMPLETELY putting everything in perspective – especially the part were she said “Wasn’t this about getting healthy and not losing weight?” Oh snap…. She’s right, not only did I say it, it’s in writing…

So, I stuck out the meeting, and stopped being selfish, and congratulated all the people that had great success this week, and decided that I would just try harder this week. So, we got our groceries on Sunday night, and I have recipes at the ready for this entire week. Also, BONUS, Jeff decided to start going to the gym with me. It is so helpful to have that support. We even went this weekend. Which (sorry Jeff if you are reading this), poor guy was SO sore this morning trying to put on his backpack. It will get better though, I know it :)
Well, happy Monday!
