Not a good week. I spent all day yesterday feeling sorry for myself and thinking of all the excuses of why the scale said what it did. I even thought about not blogging this week at all, but what does that help? I can't run away from the bad days... or weeks. It was a rough week to say the least. I had a root canal on Monday that I am still hurting from, and ate food I normally wouldn't eat all week long. I also missed 3 workouts this week. I think that was the hardest part of it all. As a result, I had a 7 pound gain this week. This gain isn't going to define me. It's going to make me work harder. Initially I was so upset and ready to give up. I really forgot what a roller coaster this journey can be.
It's behind me now. We are leaving on a weekend getaway Friday, but I have a game plan. I know it is going to feel so good coming home from this vacation with a loss. And that is what I will keep remembering. This might be a little setback, but it's temporary. Time to get up and move on.
Feeling sorry for myself when things like this happen is really something I need to work on. I have some great friends to turn to, which is awesome. I know I'm not the only person going through this journey. A lot of my closest friends are the ones that live furthest away, though, and that can be so hard at times.
This week really made me realize how this journey is about fitting all of the pieces of the puzzle together. The eating right, working out, planning, and tracking. When any of these things gets a little off, things can start to go in the right direction. This week ALL of these things were off and it resulted in pure chaos! It shows that I need to get back to basics and do what I know how to do in order to get the results that I want.
I know I am all over the place this morning. But I needed to get everything out. Moving on... I'm off to the gym!
Keep being POSITIVE!! YOU CAN DO THIS!! I do think you weighed yourself with a snowmobile suit on~or Roger did something to the scale!! That seems a bit much for a week!! BUT~~a little attitude adjustment~positive attitude~~etc., you WILL make progress!
ReplyDeleteKEEP ON BLOGGING THROUGH THICK OR THIN!!👍💚💛💜👍
Haha... I didn't think that was even possible! I think most of it is water weight and will come off fairly quickly. It just wasn't what I was looking for going into a week where we're going out of town. I'm just gonna really have to watch myself this weekend and not add on to it!
DeleteThanks for always being so encouraging! And no... I still haven't had ANYTHING pumpkin! ;)
