Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on July 31, 2014

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So, my visit with my parents didn't go as well as I had hoped. They were here for about 10 days, and in that time I initially lost a few pounds, then gained a few pounds, then netted a loss of .4 pounds. Believe me, I'm not beating myself up about that, I just know I could have done better.

I did better than I would have in the past . . . portion control while eating at home was awesome, and I managed to avoid all the dessert food in the house. However, I did go over on my calories multiple days due to eating out. And I drank when I wouldn't normally have.

Now, in order to win the 4% diet bet I am in, I'll have to lose like 4 pounds per week for the next two weeks. NOT thrilled, especially since I'm not super into the losing weight fast thing.

But I am happy, because I kept up with my exercise and have ramped up to at least 2 miles of walking per day. My stamina is better, and I have even started spontaneously jogging at times. All of this with my 15 pound son in a stroller.

I will accept that I didn't do as well as I could have these past 10 days or so. But I am sticking with it.

Hope everyone is doing great!

Kim, I think you did a great job considering you had family visiting for 10 days. It could have been worse!!! You could have eating any & everything, & could have had a big gain!!! Be proud of yourself!!! You can still win this challenge!!! Keep up the good work!!! :-)

Good work! It's so hard when family is here. I didn't do as well as you did and had to really buckle down to win my last bet, but I did it and so can you!

Don't worry about the past 10 days. Like you said you did better than you would have in the past. Keep it up and you'll reach your goal :D
