Not bad for doing absolutely nothing to lose weight. Add in there that we had friends over for a scrumptious brunch and attended a wedding, wedding dinner buffet and ate many left over wedding treats the next day. I must have been doing something right. If anything these past two lazy weeks have shown me that when it comes time to Maintain- I will be able to do it.

Energy and the Lack Thereof

One of Life's Perfect Storms seems to have hit me. I have been working more than usually- twice as much in fact. I had some knee pain while running a few weeks ago, that combined with the fact that I had just finished a period and was extremely tired, and so I "Allowed" myself to rest. I say "allowed" because I think I would have been fine, maybe even had more energy, if I had just kept exercising, but I talked myself into resting...I think that was a mistake.

So for the past two weeks, I haven't done much. I haven't really tracked my eating, I haven't exercised at all. And now I am starting all over again. I hope that this is a fluke and not an ongoing problem. But this blog will help me see if it is.

The one bright side is that I have been able to maintain my weight over these past two weeks. Even though I wasn't physically tracking my food intake, I have made better food choices and have been able to keep a mental tally of my daily calories. So yes the Perfect Storm hit, but my dreams have not been destroyed.

It's all Downhill from Here

OK, I am happy again. See you next week.

World Gone Crazy

OK, so I didn't post last week because I was mad! MAD, MAD, MAD! I broke my rule and weighed myself on Saturday and I had lost 2.2 pounds, I was ecstatic, then when I had my official weigh in on Monday I had gained 2 pounds! 2 pounds in 2 days! WHAT?!?! So I was a big baby and didn't want to fess up to the fact that in a week I lost 0.2 pounds. I guess I should have been happy because it was a loss right, but because I had seen the scale two days before it felt like I had gained.

But I am back, I am repentant and I am very confused. This past week has been a horrible week exercise-wise, I only worked out on Monday. And food-wise I ate whatever I wanted. I totally fell off the wagon because it was that most wonderful time of the month. I don't think that my hormones affected anyone but me, but looking back I really see that they totally affected me.

The good news is, I lost weight his week. The bad news is, I am still really tired and drained. I guess I just have to get back on the horse- or the treadmill really.....Maybe on Wednesday.
