Tonight I was 1.2 up. Not totally surprised nor am I totally distraught. No way did I eat 3800 calories more than my body burned this week. I can feel my body retaining water and a few solids that need to move on out if you know what I mean.
I just hate having my weigh in on Monday nights. Our bodies are so fickle and for me that time of night I find myself then waiting to eat and making sure I don't just down a 16 oz. bottled water before I go in. I'm glad I know what is going on in my body but I hate seeing it printed out on those little slips and placed in my book.
We don't have WW next week becuase of the holiday. I will be in E'ville for graduations this coming weekend. We talked a lot about picnics and how unhealthy they typically are. I plan to make a "plan" and stick with it through all of the slippery choices. I'm glad I can just shop and take things with me to my moms which will help me stay on track.
Goal this week?? Tracking faithfully so I don' accidentally slip in a bunch of calories I cannot account for. Girlfriend Ride??? Have you registered?

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Keep your chin up, which I know you are. You are SO good at reading your body and putting everything in perspective. I'm sure your inability to walk as much as you would like has something to do with it. Sounds like you have a plan for this weekend...and remember, it's only food. I'm sure there will be those there that are watching you, so impressed with your weightloss, and amazed by your willpower. You will be an inspiration and motivator. (How's that for pressure?)
I wanted to talk to you about the ride. Yes, I am going to do the ride, however, I must work that night. It is a big day at Pipers and Kathy and I are such commited employees :) I think we will have plenty of time to have a good day together...the ride starts at 8 am and I figure should only take a couple of hours. We won't have to be at work probably until after 4pm.
Don't forget about some hand weights, if you haven't already gotten some. They're great for building some muscle and raising your metabolism. Start with either 3 or 5 pounders. Do what you can. Speaking of peddling faster, have you gotten to get out and ride yet? This week is going to be beautiful, so get some miles under your wing!

Hang in there Dawna! I know it's frustrating but it's like investing in the stockmarket; there will be ups and downs but you've got to stay committed for the long haul in order to do what's best for your body and reap the benefits.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to go on the ride but I haven't registered yet. As Jane said, I too have to work that evening but I should have plenty of time to do both.
