I indulged. A lot.
It showed up on the scale today. Just like I knew it would.
And I'm not mad. Not even a little bit.
I wanted to have fun over the weekend and not care. But that doesn't mean I've taken my eye off my goal. As it gets closer, I worry less about these little setbacks. As long as these indulgent times are few and far between, I'm going to be just fine.
Weight-loss goal: 40 lbs.
This week's progress: +2 lbs.
Progress to date: -30 lbs.
Non-scale victory:
I walked more than 16 miles in two days at the fair. And I've been really good about sticking to that 3-mile per day walking goal I set last week. I look forward to my walks --- they've been good for clearing my head and enjoying our unseasonably beautiful weather.
Gosh Micah, I wish when I had a bad week or two it was only a pound or two. I keep gaining and losing the same 5-10 lbs. It is making me nuts. It seems like if I drink, I put on 5 lbs. A weekend of a few drinks and I am 10lbs up. I am drinking only water for now hoping this will resolve it. Good for you in having fun and not feeling guilty about it!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't beat yourself up too much over indulging at the fair--after all, the fair's a once a year thing, and there will always be points in our life where we need to enjoy a bit of extra food. :) However, the key is staying on the wagon; don't use it as an excuse to backslide. I think you've got the right idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome! I love the attitude and approach that you take to weight loss and living healthy. It's so great that you can go 'off track' for a few days, know that it's okay and jump right back on. You are an inspiration to me!
ReplyDeletePS- Got my first WW "star" this week- lost the first 5 lbs since I've been doing WW! It was exciting- I knew you'd understand :)
