After Jamie passed away, my diet flew out the window. For a day I wasn't interested in food, then I couldn't stop eating. And through it all I had stopped tracking. I finally skidded to a stop on Monday, but it was too late to undo the damage. Tuesday morning at weigh-in I showed an 8/10ths gain. Almost a full pound. It was expected, and it could have been worse. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Tuesday was the start of a brand-new week. A clean slate. I bought a WW 3-month journal and I'm tracking very carefully now, and I'm exercising. Hopefully I'll see a BIG loss next week to make up for this past week's slip-up.Meanwhile, here's a picture of me on my birthday last month (the big 5-0), posing with flowers a friend had sent me. Since it was taken about a week before joining WW, I'll call this somewhat blurry picture (taken by DH) my "before picture". I'll post another one when I've reached my 10% goal.
Boy I need a haircut! ;D
Rhonda, I'm so sorry to hear about Jamie.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you are not going to beat yourself up over the eating. It's actually really good that you only gained less than a pound. You can take that off in no time. Drink lots of water and you'll probably be down a few lbs in a matter of days.
I know it's cliche, but every day really is a new day.
Good luck this week.
Thanks, Kristen! I'm really bad getting my water in, but I'm going to pull out an old sports bottle and add a slice of lemon or lime to make it more flavorful. ;)
ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. You will lose this weight though. Do not doubt it!!!
