Sorry for my absence on my blog lately.
I have faced another gain this week (it's okay, it was only 0.4lbs). I am slightly disappointed in myself. I baked cookies this week, went to a potluck, yesterday I had a chicken burger with fries, and Friday my boyfriend made mac and cheese casserole. I know I shouldn't be eating and indulging in all of that high fat, high calorie, high carb food. I see my flaws this week and vow next week to make it better.
I have come to a realization about weight loss this week:
I have this trouble with setting goals. My first weight-loss goal was to be under 190 by Christmas. Every time I set a goal like that something holds me back right when I am on the verge of completing it. Maybe it is because I think I am doing well so I am a little more lenient when it comes to eating. Maybe it is because I am afraid of failing and therefore if I do fail I can say "well, I wasn't trying very hard." I don't know what it is, but I do know one thing. I have got 14 days to lose 2.3 lbs, and it is GOING to happen. I am slightly discouraged because last week I only had 1.9 to lose, but I need to get over it and get back on track. I WILL learn from my gain, move on, and make a major loss for next Monday, I can assure you of that. I CAN and WILL do this.
Here are my weigh in results this week:
Original Weight: 202.6 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 191.8 lbs
This Week: 192.2 lbs
Weight Lost from Last Week: +0.4 lbs
Total Lost: 10.4 lbs
Total Left to Lose: 39.6
Goals to lose at least 2.3 lbs in 14 days:
1. Eat Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at appropriate times.
It is 12:30 pm as I write this, and I still haven't had breakfast OR lunch. I know this leads to extra snacking after supper. For the next 7 days, I will have all three meals at the right time!
2. Drink PLENTY of water
I don't know what is wrong with me. I see that whenever I drink LOADS of water I lose weight, its simple fact. However, for some reason, that doesn't motivate me to drink enough water. This week (and next week) I will be drinking plenty of water. At least four water bottles a day (I have one right beside me right now that I am going to finish by the end of this blog post).
3. Nap Less and at proper times.
It is hard not to nap every day. Napping is okay, but I need to be more strategic about when I allow myself to nap. For example, I find myself napping after a meal (and we all know that is terrible for you). I also have been napping for 2-3 hours. NOT GOOD. It results in me being up until 1-2 in the morning which then leads to me not waking up early enough and not having breakfast before work. IF I nap in the next 14 days, it will be between 4-6 and I will set a one hour timer. No more napping at 8-10/11.
Wish me luck everyone! I am still motivated and I know I can do it.
Hope you are well.
