Linda Loses It...My Weight Loss Journey

Bad Week

Last week I had a bad week and gained weight. While under normal circumstances, I could have accounted that weight gain for something (like eating out or eating crap). I honestly cannot figure out what I did in order to gain weight. I exercised 2 extra times during the week and hardly dipped into my weekly bonus points. I drank lots more water and decreased my pop big time!!

Some people are telling me it was the fact that by adding more exercise, I should have eaten some of the bonus points. That my body needs more food (or points) because I am using more energy. Who knows. I only gained 0.4 pounds, but it hit me really hard!!

I think in my mind, I had wanted to lose a few pounds before vacation, so that if I induldge and happened to gain a few, I wouldn't feel guilty. Now what?!? Hopefully I'll have a good loss today and I can go back to not feeling guilty for the week.

I haven't tried on the capris yet. I'm bringing them down with me and we'll see how they look then. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm going to weigh in today in about 45 minutes, but I don't know if I'll get a chance to jump on and post before I leave for my vacation!! So, lets keep our fingers crossed that it's a good one!!

And hopefully I won't induldge too much in ice cream, yummy homemade breakfasts, and eating dinner out too much next week!! Oh and the car ride down. I used to love snacking on car rides. That was the BEST part. Oh what will I do?!? LOL!

  • Hey Linda! I just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing with your weight loss. You are doing great!!! I can't believe how dedicated and committed you are to doing this. I on the other hand did not stick with it and am still the same weight as I was, maybe a few pounds heavier. I really want to stick to it and lose my pregnancy weight, but I just cannot seem to find my willpower to eat right and exercise. Well I just wanted to say what a great job you are doing!

  • Thanks Ju!

    I'm glad you stopped by!! It's nice to have someone reading! When you are ready to get into it, you will do great. I didn't find the motivation until after my second baby was born.
