One pound at a time.

Confession

I lost Round 1 by .9 pounds. The old "Me" would be beating herself up but NOPE, not the new "Me".

Sabotage Happens

I did an excellent job being out of town during the Thanksgiving trip to Sin City. I ordered wisely at restaurants, stuck to eating clean at Mom's house & even skipped on eating the pumpkin pie on T-Day. There was a pair of 3 lb weights collecting dust in her closet so I made sure to put them to use & did my reps outside in the desert sun, fun! I did an awesome level 3 hike to the hot springs over by Boulder City and on another day, hiked around gorgeous Red Rock Canyon. I returned home over the weekend, stepped on the scale and was ecstatic to see that I'd lost weight!

So why didn't I win? I celebrated my weight loss too soon by drinking & "rewarding" myself with junk food (darn you peanut M&M's & cini-mini donuts) and those lost pounds quickly reappeared on the scale. Some reward - not!

"I'm not hungry, I'm just bored."

Le$$on has been learned. I've become even more aware of what I'm eating, noticing the difference when/if I'm hungry, back on track and keeping it moving. Time to kick Round 2's A$$!

Nice post!!! And you're right!!! We're gonna go off track at some point or another, but the main thing is to pick ourselves up & keep it moving!!! Next time, reward yourself with a nice blouse or a pair of earrings or a mani/pedi, or something other than food.

No worries mamacita!!! We're a work in progress!!! We're still learning, & you know what: WE GOT THIS!!! Time to kick some A$$ in Round 2!!! YEAH!!! :-)

This is so true! Sometimes I just don't want to be diligent all the time. But that's not how it works! And instead of just a little cheat I usually end up paying a heavier price like sometimes it taking me days to 'get back'. I have learned it's not worth the mental anguish I put myself through. Although it takes patience and commitment it's just better to stay on track.
