Tales from the Scales

Well, I have been absent for a couple of weeks. There have been a few different reasons for this, but the one big reason is that I have gained. I have discovered that this is not a good reason for me to stay away. I need the accountability!

So, here I am to admit to all of you that over the past couple of weeks, I have gained 5 pounds...ouch!

There are a couple of reasons for this, some legitimate, others, not so much...
I was sick for a month and was eating little. This sparked a big weight loss.
Then I started eating again. This sparked a weight gain.
Then I started eating everything I could get my hands on.
And I didn't stop.

Here I am today committing to getting back on the wagon and holding on.

Updated Stats:
Starting weight: 188.4
Today's weight: 156.0
Total loss: 31.6

Goals for the week:

  • more water, less diet soda
  • eat more at home
  • take healthy snacks with me in the car

you can do it! just stay strong and take it one day at a time! its understandable to have a moment of weakness here and there- just remember this is a long term goal- keep going for the goal and it will be there before you know it!!!

The goals you have set up for yourself will definitely put you on the road to a loss. Take it a meal at a time and I hope you have a great week!

Hang in there! The accountability really helps me. I know you'll put off those extra pounds by following your goals. (Especially get rid of the diet soda. That's actually a big sabotage of weight loss.) I had gained 6 pounds at one point just this WEEK, so I know how it feels. Once I got committed again and worked hard, most of it dropped back off.
