When I started this blog I said I would post the good, the bad, and the ugly....this last 2 weeks I suppose, was the ugly. I didn't gain weight which is a bonus....but I didn't lose either. I was disappointed but not shocked. Between that time of the month, stress at work & other life stresses, I had a rough 2 weeks. I still did great workouts and had good runs, but I could tell the difference in my food choices. I didn't eat horribly -- then again, I never really do -- it's just I didn't make the best choices.
Lesson # 1: I cannot buy Kettle Cooked chips!! They are EVIL!! lol I can count out my portion size and have some but then I cannot stop! So it's better to just not have them available to me. (By the way, this is a lesson I've learned previously as well but obviously didn't learn that well.) This time I know for CERTAIN: kettle cooked chips + me trying to lose weight does NOT = weight loss for me. lol
Lesson # 2: I need to find other/better ways to handle stress than through food choices. That is something I used to do, both with stress and boredom. I need to choose a different path, maybe take a walk, do some lunges, jumping jacks, anything! It used to be when I was stressed, I'd play piano to take my mind off stuff...it worked beautifully. But we don't have a piano...and believe it or not, the church I work at does not have a piano either (isn't that weird!?!) So I need to consciously make other choices in that regard.
I'm certain this next 2 weeks will have better results.....that seems to be a pattern for me over these last 11 months (I'm almost to a year -- November 4, 2010 was my first official weigh-in!) I have a rough 2 weeks, then my next weigh-in I'll lose 2-3 pounds. I'm hoping that happens this time.
We're heading to Florida next week for a quick trip...normally vacation might be a concern with falling off the wagon as far as food goes...but I have a secret weapon with me: Jerry! lol He will keep me on the straight and narrow, for sure, so I'm thankful.
I'll keep you posted!
