I was devastated, embarrassed and disappointed. And then I got over it. It happens - I went way overboard at the apple orchard on Sunday and figured that would hurt my weigh in today.
I did make some good choices this week though. Last night, some of my neighbors had a pizza party. I talked to the hostess and brought my own pasta. I also split dessert with another friend at the party so decent choices. Having my friends support though was huge - not a single person tried to get me to eat the pizza and everyone supported my efforts!
I also noticed that making healthy choices is getting easier. Today at lunch, I avoided the heavy cream soups and ate the low fat beef and barley. So little by little, living healthy is becoming more natural.
This week I want to continue focusing on tracking my food and my workouts. The weather is sapping my energy so I've been slacking on my cardio but I need to suck it up and start to step up the intensity. I'm hitting the gym tomorrow afternoon and finally adding weights to my routine.
So despite gaining half a pound, I'm not going to fall off track or make excuses. YAY ME

i'm so proud of you kelly! i know it's hard, and there are days when you're probably going to want to kick the scale, but just keep at it! don't know if you're ready for something like this, but a little while ago i had to give up dairy (lactose intolerant) and i can't even begin to tell you how much better i feel. i've kept the same workout routine and literally, my pants are practically falling off. it was really hard at first to give up cheese, but now it's no biggie at all. i don't know if you'd be interested in it, but just a thought. it's helped me a lot!
ReplyDeleteanyways, i'm rooting for you here in california! and keep avoiding those heavy cream soups! :)
much love,
