Alright...today is Monday and that means it was time to weigh in and assess the damage, er, I mean see if I lost any weight over the past week. I reluctantly stepped onto the scale (which I will explain the reason for my reluctance in a minute...) and it said 177.4! YUCK. DOUBLE YUCK! But it is what it is...and honestly I'm not surprised. I wasn't a very good girl last week with my eating. However, I did work out 5 days! Thursday night we used the kids' book-it certificates from Pizza Hut and had pizza for dinner, then Friday was date night (who wants to eat healthy while on a date?), and a family gathering that was sort of spur of the moment, so it was poorly planned on my part and didn't include any healthy options...unless you count deviled eggs as healthy. And to top it off, it's like I lost all self-control as far as eating goes...I'm not sure what happened to me...it's like I was possessed.
It all started with the pizza,
followed by ice cream and brownies....
then came the chips....
Ahhhh! Stop the insanity already! Here's the thing that I've noticed since being on this journey...it seems like even the slightest bit of junk food or overeating make my weight go up. Look at a brownie = +1 lb. Eat the brownie = +2 lbs. THAT is why I was reluctant to step on the scale...because I knew it wasn't going to be pretty. But I had to face the truth and reap the consequences of my poor decisions.
But there's good news!
Today is a new day, full of new choices. And for the most part I did pretty good at making decent choices and not overdoing it. And I had a great workout that kicked my tail! So, I'm not going to let the number on the scale get me down. However, I'm not going to accept that number either. I realized after my Recommitment post that I forgot to list my goal of reaching my goal weight (which is still TBA) by June 1, 2012. So there you have it. It's official because I just posted it for all to see. Yikes.
So hopefully I will have a non-depressing weigh-in post for next week!
