Today was weigh in day.
A big fat zero.
When I got on the scale I knew that this week was tough due to last day of school, Tom's birthday and my friends birthday. So I am not really surprised, but it still didn't stop me from wanting to kick the scale across the room.
This attitude is self defeating. You know, when you expect miracles to happen - and then they don't happen - and you become deflated which could cause an all out binge. If this happened to me a few months ago (not losing weight) I would have given up. I would have gone home and ate everything I laid my eyes on.
Not today.
Sure, I was pissed. BUT I didn't allow it to get to me for more than a few minutes. I complained to Tom (and Nancy) then we did our Yoga work out. I didn't binge or eat some crappy food. I just told myself that this week would be better. It will be better.
So my very appropriate quote of the day: Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it - unknown
Shout out to the Naninator - who listened to me bitch.
*I am still working on my little research project, I am waiting for some more feedback, but what I have got so far is very interesting...
What I ate today:
Protein Shake
Rice cake with Almond butter (yum!)
Orange
Flax Seed Crisps
Chicken
Roasted Potatoes
Salad
Corn on the Cob
Brownie
Grapes
P90x-Yoga. Silly me thought this would be easy. Nope.
Weight: 164 - still down 6!

You may not have lost this week but you can still take a lesson away from the situation. Think of it as a 'practice for maintenance' week. Have a look at what you ate this week. This is what you'll want to do in the future to maintain--eat reasonable healthy portions most of the time with a few treats thrown in throughout the week. Maintenance is the hardest part, isn't it? If you can begin to get an idea of what you'll have to do once you've lost what you want to, that's half the battle. Keep it up, K8!
ReplyDeleteI like that thought. Thanks Tina!
