At first the fact that I had just maintained was pretty disheartening, and then I realized something-- I hadn't GAINED weight. That's right! I hadn't gained anything. How many weeks have you been gaining weight and didn't realize it? I don't even want to speculate that number because I am above my ideal weight, so I have had to be gaining each week prior to this. (My clothes can attest to this.) So it was actually a good thing that I had at least maintained my current weight.
I've been eating so much better that I also feel better. My daily intake of 5-Hour Energy has been eliminated. This is huge for me. So while the scale didn't move in either direction, feeling better is definitely a step in the right direction.
How did everyone else do? Were you happy with your check-in? If not, I've found something that will help put things in perspective and remind us that this is a journey, not a destination:
Same. Exact. Thing. No change in the scale. But you are right...at least it did not go up. After making some pretty major lifestyle changes (no Dr.Pepper!) and eating way better than I used to, I was expecting that number to reflect my hard work. It will...soon. I know it!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain but I plan on starting back running on Monday and hopefully that will help. I think I have this cold beat and it is time to start burning those calories. Now if I can just eat healthy this weekend while being gone. I will give it my best!!
