Just like some other DBs on here have reported...We weighed in for our first round, made goal and then...all hell broke loose.
For me, it was a brunch, that led into days of PMS and a few pity parties. Finally, an overwhelming craving for a burger...which was abruptly followed by the underwhelming experience of finishing the burger. Too much fried foods and mini candy bars over the weekend.
I did go to the spa for a good sauna and steam. Also had a 7-miler walk before the spa trip. However, a few work-related commitments and I was ill-prepared for getting in the fitness like I usually do. I take total responsibility.
I really think I need to be more balanced in the everyday. I won't be surpised if I may have gone overboard with the first round...causing me to lean to far back into old habits. But I got it out of my system (for now).
So today...just like the past week - I have this 'full' feeling because I've been eating past satisfacation. Honestly, some tea and fruit for breakfast is good for now. However, I noticed that I didn't look bloated but actually quite trim.
But today is my weigh-in day! Even though I lived in the land of denial with my weigh-in and food journal, I had today for getting back into reality. Step onto the scale......
I lost 0.8 lbs from last week! Only 1.5 lbs to make goal and about 5 lbs for my 'personal' goal.
Water retention gone? Residual from my walking and eating properly kicking in? I dunno...
But let's not get cute! I've seen this happen before but I consider myself lucky (for now) and being given another chance to get back to basics but add a little more flex to my eating and overall attitude. Hopefully, helping to reduce going overboard in either direction.
So..I'm off for my walk. Logged in my food. Getting back into it....
