I missed publishing last week's weigh in, it was a dismal -0.5 for the week. My total was at -24.5lbs. This week I had a loss of 2.5lbs for a total of 27lbs since the beginning of December. I am very happy with this progress. And in fact, I am a bit surprised considering I have slacked on the exercise. My disappointment this week is silly, it is not even about me completely, I saw one of my sisters for the first time since Thanksgiving and she did not seem to notice that I lost over 25lbs. I guess I had been hoping to just hear her say "wow, you are looking so much better" or something like that. But again, I need to learn to stop depending on other people's input for my own happiness.
This week I cheated on my eating, I will admit I ate pizza, frozen custard and cupcakes. It did not even taste very good to be honest. But I did not binge! I only ate 2 very small pieces of pizza (little square pieces and the smallest in the pie) and a small custard when I was out with my parents. The cupcakes were also small and limited to two over a two day period. I actually felt physically sick after eating all of it. The sodium combined with the sugar just made me feel horrible. I was happy to get back on plan!
My goal was to have lost 45lbs by my birthday in the beginning of April. Right now that will not happen unless I kick it into gear again with my exercise. I need to average about 3lbs a week to make this goal, which is completely possible if I get back into a good routine. So this week I am working on getting out the DVDs and getting in at least 30 intense minutes of cardio every day.
I have been under a tremendous amount of stress the last couple of weeks. There are things happening to people I love dearly that are sad, heart breaking really, and I can do nothing to help. I am the typical "fixer" when someone has a problem I do everything in my power to help them. Not being in a position to help those I love is effecting my eating, sleeping and piece of mind. I am working on ways to deal with these issues in a positive way so I can move forward and concentrate on my health again. That is why I did not write last week, I was just not in a good place emotionally.
Have a happy & healthy day!
