Weigh-In ... Feeling Much Better

[Friday's] Weight: 176.0
Loss/Gain:  - 3.0 lbs.

Can I just say that I have been feeling so much better lately?  Not only physically, but I think mentally and emotionally I've felt better eating more balance and smaller portions.  I've notice, for me anyway, when I am eating too much and feeling out of control I don't feel well physically and emotionally.  So, it feels good to be doing well again and seeing some results on the scale. 

Honestly, I even had some "cheats" to the 21-Day Fix plan, so I was a bit surprised to see the scale down so much.  However, those cheats were still in moderation, just more bread and less veggies, so I know my portions were fine.  That's probably why I didn't gain.  

Anyway, I've felt more like my new normal this past week than I have in a long time.  

My week ahead is going to be pretty busy.  We are getting ready to pack up our house for a major move in a couple weeks.  The kids are out of school now, so that will lesson some stress.  I enjoy my days with them doing what they do at school and me being at home, but I also like summertime with no schedules to have to adhere to.  

So, I'm back and doing well.  Thanks for checking in and I hope you're all enjoying a nice weekend!

  1. Great loss! Sounds like it is really going well for you. It is good I think that you are doing this right before moving. Moving is one of those things that is so stressful, it makes it hard. I think developing some good habits before doing it is a good thing.

    1. No, only 14 days in so far. I just had a weird gain show up the week of my official first weigh-in for the challenge, so I was comparing my weight loss to the week prior to that.
