not what I'd hoped for
I’ve been doing so well recently, I really wanted to keep the momentum going. But I knew it would be difficult with a hectic week planned, and an injured foot cutting in significantly on my workout plans. One pound, I pleaded with myself. You can hold this together and pull one pound. And I did… okay. I made some poor choices, like a bottle of wine and some awesome-to-die-for-you-can’t-blame-me Belgian chocolate. But I made some good choices, too, like prepping a huge salad and cooking ahead innumerable chicken breasts for quick, go-to lunches.
Last week I was 163.
I was desperately hoping to see 162.
But I didn’t.
Last week: 163
This week: 161.5
HAH! Hahahahahaha! (insert maniacal laugh here, as I’m barely hanging on to my sanity today, so it’s kind of fitting) And here I had you thinking I had gained! And I actually loss one and a half pounds! Ahhh, I crack myself up. (see, more proof of my pending nuthouse status)
All lame-ass joking aside, I feel like I’m in a really good place right now. Like I’ve FINALLY figured out the right calorie range, and the right foods, and the right amount of exercise. And I’ve learned what my triggers are, and how to avoid them. And how to compensate for them when I do occasionally succumb. I feel like this isn’t some far off dream — SOME DAY I’ll lose this weight and be in shape. I feel like this is really IT. I’m really doing it!
can i hate you right now? *tries really hard* nope, not a bit. very cool that you're getting it all worked out and yep you are really doing it!!!
Karena! That was so mean! You should share your wonderful Belgium chocolate as an apology! HEHE! great job on the loss…you are doing fabulous!!!
YOU ARE REALLY DOING IT! I'm so proud of you, and laughing manically right along with you. I felt the same way this morning when I stepped on the scale. I was praying for a maintain, honestly, because it wasn't my best week with food choices (can you say nachos AND chicken fried steak? shhhhh!).
I literally squealed when I saw I'd LOST a pound! WOOT! I think all of the good choices we're making, when we're not making bad choices, are really paying off girl! WE RULE!!!!!
xoxoxoxo
You are so funny! You totally had me going – I had to read over it twice! Good for you that you are finding your “groove”!
SO.NOT.COOL. Here I was working up a motivational comment and you tricked me! ;o)
Seriously, great job this week, losing with despite some tough moments is great! Awesome!
Hahaha, good one! You totally had me going ~ in fact, I've never been here before, but your comment on the Sisterhood weigh-in post had me all set to console and encourage you! Stinker.
Isn't it a great feeling, KNOWING what you need to change, HOW to change it, and to start seeing results?! You're doing great ~ keep it up!!
I'd send you some, Mendie, but I don't think your teammates would be very happy with me if I did!
It would have been a GREAT motivational comment, I'm sure! Save it, I'm sure I'll need it at some point!
Thanks! And, seriously, thanks for the thoughtfulness — stopping by to console and encourage me. You're WAY nicer than I am!
So stinkin' proud of you!! And yes, you definitely had me going!! So glad that you have finally found your groove….Hope you have another great week.
