Weight Lost This Week: Gained 1 lb
Total Weight Lost: 3.9 lbsOk, so I could hand you a line about how it's only one pound and weight can just fluctuate especially in women, and blah blah blah. I had almost decided that I wasn't even going to weigh myself this week and just check in next week. But, I didn't because I know better, and I need to be honest.
Basically I was emotional and PMS-ey (a word?), and so I ate all of the things this week. I ate when I was hungry, which was all the time, and it should come as no suprise that it was not always fruit and veggies. I ate when I was sad or happy or bored. I ate things I haven't eaten in a while, and I paid for it, with a big fat stomach ache and feeling like absolute garbage by Saturday. I felt like such garbage that I needed to leave my friends' house early Saturday night because it was going to get ugly. Then I pretty much spent the entire weekend on the couch. I may have had a little bug or something, but it is more likely due to the perfect storm I had been creating all week with my food choices.
I could be discouraged by that, but it actually encourages me to know that my body is no longer used to that crap. I'm encouraged because I know exactly why I gained a pound this week and what I can do to fix it. I'm encouraged because I didn't actually like the way last week felt at all, and it motivates me to be better.
So here's to a new week of making one good choice at a time and being intentional about my health.
