Well, this blog is definitely serving it's primary purpose - helping me with accountability. I have had several in person inquiries and a few on fb/comments here. So... yes, I haven't posted in over a week, and yes... if you were wondering - it's because I blew off the whole eating right, exercising thing.
I have nothing but excuses and laziness to blame. But I wanna say my excuses are good ones. :) I was just having a sentimental/emotional week (and NO, it wasn't corelating with any female cycles) and wanted to veg. Plus, I found a new addiction (at least it's not food) - The Vampire Diaries. So, instead of going to the gym, I spent my free time watching the past 2 seasons of TVD so that I could catch up to the current season.
All that being said... I DID workout twice in the last week (2 workouts shy of my 4x a week goal) and I didn't eat too badly... just three days of adding sugary snacks (almond cookies with my coffee and little debbie heart shaped cake thingys).
And yesterday's weigh in was 207.5 lbs, which is actually 1 lb down from my weigh in on the 19th. So, I definitely didn't do what I had planned or wanted to as far as making healthy choices the past 10 days, but I went down. For that I am thankful. There's nothing worse than actual yo-yo-ing to frustrate a plan for healthy living.
So, today... it's back on. :)
Thanks to everyone who's asking about my progress. It really does help me behave. :)

We all have rough weeks (I am an emotional eater, so I totally get that), the important thing is not to give up! The scale was pissing me off for almost 2 weeks straight, not moving a fraction of a pound, despite the fact that I thought I was doing everything right. So annoying! It finally has been nice to me the past few days, so I am glad I kept going. The accountability of the weight loss competition I'm doing is definitely helping too.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! I'm cheering you on from afar!
Go, Susan! I just love it that you're moving forward, not getting too upset over a little setback, and you lost a pound? That's just icing on the cake - poor word choice, huh? It's a marathon for all of us, and I'm proud of you for jumping right back in. What I want is a tv that only works while I'm on a treadmill- that would be great motivation! See you on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteGirly - we all have gotten into our comfort food ruts and sedentary lifestyles. I have tried to give myself those pep talks every night "Tomorrow will be better, I will stick to my goals tomorrow" and that lasts thru the morning commute. So KUDOS to you for sharing your experience with all of us. Glad to know I'm not alone in my struggles!!
