FINALLY! I just now saw a drop of 3 lbs…which I’ve been waiting for! I actually decided not to even look at the scale this week since it was just depressing to know that the numbers weren’t budging. It was nice to see the reward for just hanging with the diet and exercise despite the numbers. And sort of surprising as I didn’t really feel like I had that great of a week this week. There was one day that I was totally unable to eat lunch because I was running around so much…so I snagged my bag of baby carrots on my way out the door, thinking that I could munch them and be okay until I could get home to eat…but they gave me hiccups and it was 4:00 and I needed to buy my daughter and the girl I pick up for carpool something to eat…so I ended up buying 2 happy meals for the girls and I ate the 8 chicken nuggets! I got home and felt bad about it, so I got online and figured out how many calories I had consumed…then I looked at the remainder of my calories for the day and dropped some of the foods I was supposed to eat that evening so that it would balance out to 1700. My consultant said, “so how is that bad?” I guess in retrospect, it wasn’t bad…just that I went off menu, but I did adapt and make it work for me. I just cannot justify eating without accountability anymore. I also spent most of the week disabled since my trainer worked my triceps so hard that I couldn’t even lift the baby to burp him!! So I adapted by doing more walking…even took the family on a hiking picnic on Sunday. I guess all in all it really wasn’t that bad of a week. I’m just thrilled to see that great number! Oh yeah, and I also saw a quote on a calendar that I loved:
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.
