I was really hoping to hit my 20 pound mark this week, but I didn't. I have only lost 2 pounds since my weigh in last Thursday.
I'm not sure what happened. Maybe it's because I have my period (but I'm at the very end so I don't think that I can blame it). I worked pretty hard. I went over my caloric limit by 200 calories two days ago, but that shouldn't be enough to make a difference. Because I've been recovering from being sick I've been less active. Maybe that's the problem.
On the bright side, I will definitely hit that 20 lb mark by next Thrusday. Also, I am really starting to see the difference in my clothes. I can fit into things that I haven't been able to wear from last summer.
I started really worrying about my weight before I went to Florida in April. When I tried to pack and took out all of my clothes from last summer, none of them fit me. I knew that the stress of two big moves in five months had gotten to me and I'd eaten my way through it. I'm like that. This week was stressful in a few respects and I felt the pang to drown my sorrows in bagels and ice cream. I didn't do it. But I had to really resist doing it. I sort of recognized that it was happening and decided not to eat. I didn't eat something else instead. I didn't have "just a bite." I just didn't do it. Because it's not healthy to eat because I'm stressed or upset. I am proud of myself.
So, I didn't reach my goal of losing 4 lbs this week and hitting a 20 lb loss, but I made it half way and I'll get there next week.
Have a healthy week!
