I've been pretty bad this week. I didn't track my points. I went out to eat about five times. I only worked out twice. All this considered, I knew I deserved whatever gain I had.
To my astonishment, I actually had a loss. A small one. But it was still a loss. I did not expect or earn it. So I'm just going to take it as a gift from the universe and a message to keep going.
I don't know how to explain my backslide ...
... I haven't lost motivation. That wedding is looming closer on the horizon, and I am pretty certain I won't reach my goal weight by then, but I've learned to be OK with that.
... I had kind of a busy week, but it's really not a good excuse. If my goal is a priority, I need to make time for it.
... I wasn't particularly stressed about anything. In fact, it was a pretty good week.
I guess I just got lazy. That's the only explanation I have.
The best part about all of this is that I know even after a bad day or week, I can make things right by getting back on track. I just have to turn the page and continue on. I can and will reach my goal. I just have to keep working. Eventually, it'll all pay off.
Weight-loss goal: 40 lbs.
This week's progress:-1.4 lbs.
Progress to date: -11.4 lbs.
Non-scale victory: I turned down cookies twice. I'd say that's pretty good.
