Because I need to get back on. I fell off the wagon, hit my head, and had amnesia so I forgot I was on Weight Watchers and going to the gym and stuff. It came rushing back to me like a bad dream when I stepped on the scale yesterday morning. I was up 2 pounds. Sigh. I do have a list of excuses. But they are just that, excuses. It was like the perfect storm. PMS (which seems to be worse every third month), I struggle with depression more than I'm willing to admit, everyone around me at work was so sick I was tempted to call in healthy, and then I had 36 hour flu bug. All of that made me feel pretty entitled to stay home from the gym. Honestly, as I type this, the boot camp class I did not go to is just finishing up. The day I lost the tracking battle was on day 38. I had successfully tracked every bite for 37 consecutive days, then on the 38th day, I was just dozing off the sleep for the night and remembered that I hadn't put in the supper that I didn't weigh and measure or the handful of graham crackers that I didn't count. Because I didn't actually know how many points I had consumed, I decided not to get out of bed to attempt tracking it. I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF BED. Breaking my streak lead me to not track for the next six days. So tomorrow is day one.
Hopefully the Biggest Loser has some motivation for me tonight!
I've been struggling this week too. Not eating really bad but not measuring all my portions and crapo on the water front. I was up 2lbs this morning too. Back on that wagon for us both!!
ReplyDeleteHope your feeling better!
It sounds like you just need to bring the wagon over! You recognize the issue, which is always the first step, and you know what you need to do. I've been reading/lurking your blog for quite some time and I know that you have the POWER to get back on that wagon! Just stick with it!
ReplyDeletei struggled a lot last week too and am back on the wagon as of today!
ReplyDeleteThat's just how easy it is to get off track! Mine lasted a LOT longer, though. What matters is making the decision to make healthy choices TODAY. And then again tomorrow. :-) You'll be back on track in no time!
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting back on the wagon. You know you can do it. The important thing when you go off the wagon is what you do afterward, do you continued not to track points, not going to the gym or do you keep going on. No one is perfect and it isn't the end of the world if you go off the wagon once in while as long as you don't use that as excuses to stop entirely. Just hop on the wagon again, reflect on the awesome job you have been doing and keep going.
ReplyDeleteI wish you best of luck
Hey, you? Be nice to my friend, okay? She's pretty awesome and I kinda luff her: you should, too. ;)

I'm terrible sorry if my words were hurtful. That wasn't my intention. English is not my first language so what I'm trying to say doesn't always comes out like I think it does.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to be encouraging. I really admire her blog and I think she is doing awesome job.
I sincerely apologize for writing comment that wasn't encouraging or nice and made her friends angry. I'm really sorry.
Oh no no Erla! No apologies necessary! Chibi was meaning for me to be nicer to myself! It wasn't your comment.
ReplyDeleteI love all the comments, thanks so much for the support everyone!
I'm so relieved:) because I really like your blog and the last thing I want to do is write inappropriate things on your blog.
ReplyDeleteLOL this is funny.. the amnesia bit, not the struggling bit. You'll get back to it, set some goals!
