So I've been away for a couple weeks, working hard on my diet, only to go in for my appointment, in anticipating of hopefully hearing good news, but fearing .... yes fearing .... bad news. Sure enough I gained less than a pound! What's up with that?
Should I be sad, glad, perplexed, ignore it, move on and just not think about it? I'm just not sure. I said, "well I'm still down overall so that's goodness." yet the devil on my shoulder wants to know "WHY" when I didn't cheat, I exercised and well by all accounts should have lost. What gives??? I could blame it on the fact that I'm a woman, and most people would say, "hey it's less then a lb..." but have you SEEN a stick of butter lately, yep that's still on me - in the hip area I would guess!
Oh well, I am not sad and I'm not happy .... I just need to keep working hard! So what did I do twice this weekend ................... I ate out. I guess that's how I dealt with it after all. Bad habits die hard. I'll try again tomorrow......
I hope you're all doing well...

I completely understand how you are feeling today....I weighed in this morning and lost nada. nothing. not an ounce. I did go out to dinner twice last week (unplanned, but I really thought I had made really good choices). I measured myself and lost another 2 inches - an inch on the hips and an inch on the abdomen, so that was my measure of success. I am not going to lie, it wasn't easy to take, especially when I thought I did everything right last week. I too keep going back to that moment on the scale - stepped off and on twice just to make sure it was right. I didn't believe it. And I have slightly obsessed about it today. Almost fell right back into that "if it doesn't matter anyway, I might as well indulge in that cornbread and honey butter I just made mode, but I didn't.
So you see, we've both learned that old habits do die hard. I thought it would be so easy to resist old temptations because I am so dedicated, but it an instant, I could have thrown it all away. We were not failures this week; we both learned lessons and will take those into tomorrow and the next day - one day at a time.
So you are going to come on over to my 30 day challenge post on the forums for returning clients - come be my challenge buddy for the next month and we'll get that number moving south again - for both of us. ;-)
hope to hear from you again soon,
All my best,
Kristen
