Total Loss/Gain: 0
Total Loss So Far: -21.5 lbs.
After the emotional week I've had I'm okay with this maintain. In fact, last night I told myself, "You know, I'm exercising regularly, I feel better and I'm not quitting. If I see a gain or a maintain tomorrow I'll just keep going." I wasn't upset, nervous, stressed or anything. Just accepting what will be will be and I will keep going no matter what the scale shows.
Earlier in the week I was stressing out because I wasn't going to meet my November goal of reaching 199 lbs for the Hot 100 Challenge. I didn't want to have to reevaluate my goals, because to me that meant being a failure again. However, I've decided that if I see any loss this month I will be happy with that and I can still work on meeting the ultimate goal of losing over the holidays.
It's not over yet, folks! I will get this weight off and learning all the stuff about how I've felt inside is really something I'm glad to be experiencing, even if it may hurt sometimes.
I bought lots of fresh veggies and got out my notebook this week and started journaling my food again. I will lose this weight.
Have a great Friday everyone! I'm off to substitute in PE today. Whee!!!
Just 10 pounds to *ONE*derland!
ReplyDeleteLeah, you are anything but a failure. I know you aren't saying that you are a failure in this post, but I felt a need to tell you this. I think you are doing pretty darn awesome. Don't let a 'maintain' get you down. Today is the start of a new day and a new week. Just make it the best day/week ever.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about the new week? Are you going to journal? Maybe I should offer to do it with you!
ReplyDeleteI borrowed your playlist idea. It's so cool.
You didn't gain and like GeorgiaMist said, you are only 10 pounds from "onederland" You can to this and I hope that you can stay strong and focused. There are a lot of people who are rooting for you - including me!
