This has not been my best week; I’m not even going to lie. I will likely go weigh in tomorrow morning to see just how bad it was. However, I have decided that I would take this opportunity to re-focus on my weight loss efforts. I feel like I’m recycling the same pounds over and over again and this cycle needs to stop. I was listening to Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person by Shonda Rhimes. It brought some things to the forefront of my mind including how important certain things are in my life and how I need to stop being afraid and focusing my mind on all of the “what if” and “could be” options that swirl in my brain. Bad habits like soda have been creeping back in to my workday. I have decided, honestly, that I am going to try to focus on what I CAN do this week. My goals for this week are to: I will pack a lunch/snack each workday. I will change up my breakfast at least 2 days out of the coming week. I will make sure I get 10,0
Here’s my Friday update: I am
down 0.8 lbs. this week. While it may
not be as much of a loss as some, it is still a loss AND the even more
important thing for me this week is that I tracked every meal every day! I am proud of that fact. I am, however, pondering changing my strength
training goals for the moment. I was
reminded this week that I need to have a little bit of wiggle room in the event
of an emergency. My DS15 ran into a car
while riding his bike and that was a scary situation, but we wound up spending
a fair bit of time in the ER and I had such a headache when it was over. I do not want to set myself up for feeling
like a failure. At the present, I think
I may adjust it for 2 times per week and continuing to hit my step goal, which
is still changing from week to week. I
know I need to focus a little more on my food intake in the coming week. At
present, I am 7.6 pounds down from my highest weight. I am
not sure how the meal plan will work for next week, but it will be okay. I have Monday off so there will definitely be
a chance to get in a workout and get some meals prepped. 
Omg I'm sorry to hear about the accident. Glad to know he's okay and hopefully it didn't shake you up too bad. Here's to next week!
ReplyDeleteGreat job losing 0.8 pound! And so glad he is okay after the bike accident. I imagine that was very stressful, so great job not turning it into emotional eating.
