I dreaded weighing in this week. I just knew it was going to be bad. Well, it wasn't bad, but it surely wasn't good either. I didn't gain or lose this week so I am excited that I am holding strong at 12 lbs lost!
It has been such a crazy week. Three different days, my complete day was thrown a curve ball, and I had to run out of the house. Hours later, I come home having not eaten all day. For those of you who think you can just starve and lose, I am living proof that not all people can. I am one of those people with metabolism still so slow that if I don't eat my 6 mini meals, I don't lose. I did stay on Nutrisystem food and didn't cheat while I was away from home, but let me tell you 12 hours without any food, then eating at midnight isn't great for anyone!
My son has been so sick, and with the trip to the hospital and two doctor's visits, it's been insane here. On top of it all, this the "retain 5 lbs of water weight" time for me, so I am glad I don't have five extra lbs on the scales this weeks just because I'm a girl!

For me, logging my food and water and exercise is essential, and I am getting back on track with it all TODAY! I was thrilled with my inches though since despite my crazy week I lost in small increments everywhere but my waist. Thanks to bloating, my waist is bigger, so I will tell you the inches on that next week! Slowly but surely, I am melting away!

Progress is fantastic! Keep it up mama!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Dee! I am trying to stay positive. I am my own worst enemy with feeling down, or even wanting to cheat. I am strong though, and all the encouragement helps!
DeleteKeep up the good work!! There will be tough weeks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne! This week was a tough one, and I made mostly right choices which makes me proud of me lol. Thanks for the encouragement
Deletekeep it up that proof is later when your clothes don't fit anymore. way to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anita! I can't wait until that day!
DeleteYou are doing great progress!! WAY TO GO!! And KEEP IT UP!!
ReplyDeleteSofia
Thanks, PDX! I feel like I have my own cheer squad here!
DeleteProgress is still progress! Way to go!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks that is what I am remembering first today!
DeleteGo girl! I start a BB 90 day challenge Monday and I am so super excited!
ReplyDeleteYay, we can lose together, although I think the 90 day challenge is a lot more intensive than my Nutrisystem!
DeleteDon't you just hate bloating! Still, you are doing a good job. Keep your eye on the big picture! Vicky from www.messforless.net
ReplyDeleteI do, and I hate how much I bloat. But I knew it was coming, and I hate blogging about it because it is kinda TMI, but the only way I can explain putting on weight literally overnight!
DeleteLittle steps will lead to great progress. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the sound and true advice!
DeleteBaby steps, baby steps! 12 lbs is a lot to have lost, good for you for keeping the loss -- some of us are more of the yoyo persuasion :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan. I have ALWAYS been a yo yo. Everytime I lose I get pregnant. NOT this time :D I am positive this time I won't so I am determined to go down!
DeleteWhen life gets crazy it's hard to stick to your diet. I applaud you for doing so!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I didn't think I could. In hindsight something like a grilled chicken or a salad would have been better than nothing, but the hospital had only junk food so I had to wait!
DeleteHey Allyson! Thanks for letting me know about your blog. I really like it and just subscribed! Good luck with your weight loss journey. If you have any nutrition questions, feel free to ask me.
ReplyDeleteAmanda
Thanks, Amanda. I have been stalking, I mean frequenting your blog for quite some time now, listening to all you are offering with your expertise in healthy food! I couldn't do it without your help!
DeleteSo great you were able to maintain your weight loss with all the stress this week, great job keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Krystle! I told my husband I refused to get on the scales. My son was like, Mama, it's still more than 2 lbs a week lost, so good job lol
DeleteI'm a mini-meal eater myself and when I get thrown off, oy, it's no good. Congrats on the job you're doing!! Not easy, but you're doing it!!
ReplyDeleteMimi, I definitely love the mini meals now. Idk how I did it before. IT takes most of the pain out of dieting. I may crave a cookie, but I know I Can have one for dessert, thanks to Nutrisystem, and I can be full with something healthy now!
DeleteCongrats on such progress!
ReplyDeleteBut please, right now, go and make a batch of ziplock baggies with snacks (turkey jerkey, fresh veggies/baby carrots, apples etc) so next time you have to run out of the house you can grab a baggie or two to shove in your bag!
Hope everything is ok with the kids and this week is less insane :)
Thanks so much for the advice! I have not been without food or a handy snack since! Starving makes me unattractive :D At least cranky!
DeleteHopefully this past week was less crazy for you! Congrats on your progress!
ReplyDeleteThis week was much better. Seems to be falling off this week, and I am thrilled, thanks!
