I have only one word for this past week...FRUSTRATED! I will be totally honest...from the time I first weighed in until Thursday I gained 2.6 pounds. I wanted to crawl in a hole and cry, but since that wasn't an option I just continued praying for the best possible outcome and today when I weighed myself I am very excited to say I not only lost everything I gained, but also lost one additional pound. Yes, I must say I am very happy this morning.
I don't want to place blame, because ultimately I'm the one responsible for my gain earlier this week; however when life throws you a curve ball sometimes we don't know how to handle it. My curve ball this past week was a tooth infection which resulted in a root canal. Even though my food intake was limited my calorie intake was high. Soft foods like shakes and ice cream unfortunately became my friend while exercise became my enemy and making my whole mouth throb.
I am happy to say the pain is getting better everyday. The past few days I've been eating much better and I look forward to getting back to training today for my upcoming 5K.
This week I learned that life will always throw us curve balls, but it's important to establish a plan so that it doesn't create a detour in our progress. I will redirect those curve balls out of my life.
