This is the week where you learn to really believe that I post the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (if you didn't believe me already!).
Current Weigh: 223lbs
Weekly Gain: 5lbs Total Loss: -18lbs
Yep. Up 5 pounds. And can I tell you, I just laughed at it!
There comes a certain point in your weight loss journey that you have to ignore the short-term scale. Like now. I was expecting to gain, and I did, and that's fine! It'll come back off!
I had a really fun few days! I drank alcohol for the first time in months, I didn't track what I ate, I made some poor food choices, I didn't drink nearly enough water, didn't exercise as much as usual, and I had a great time doing it!
I'm also still very stressed with everything going on in my life, it's starting to exhaust me again. My hair is falling out more than usual, and I'm having some really fun female issues. All stress related. All cause more stress. No bueno.
Had a great NSV (non-scale victory) this week! I ordered this shirt about 2 months ago, and sadly, it was too tight to wear. So, in the closet it went, and I forgot about it. Then July 4th came around, and I figured I'd try it on.
SUCCESS!!! It fits, really well in fact!
And I just love my new swimwear that I treated myself to for the summer.
So, today being Monday, I'm starting this week off on the right foot.
Prepped lunches and dinners for most of the week.
Trying hard to get my water in.
Working out most days.
Lesson of the week: It's okay to go off-track for a little while. This isn't a race to be won in a day. It's never going to be over! It's for the rest of my life! Bad days happen, as do good days. That's life, so do what you need to do each day, and move on. It can be easy to say well, I've been off the wagon for 3 days, I'm just going to keep on eating whatever I want and drinking and being lazy. That's not my plan, though! Wagon, here I come!
