March 3, Weekly Weigh-in
Today is my official weekly weigh-in day and I’ve gained 1.4 pounds. I’m so glad the weekend is over. It was not a great on-plan weekend for me and I’m ready to get my head back into my plan. I’m not 100% sure of what exactly happened. I don’t think it was one thing in particular. I think I just allowed a series of stressful days build up my frustration and anxiety until I exploded and turned to my familiar remedy…food. But, my mantra is “Quitting is not an option anymore” so I’m still here and trying to get this weight off and learn new ways of coping with the stresses of life.
Last night, I managed to remember to put on the crock pot for my steelcut oatmeal. So, I’m starting the day off on the right foot with my healthy breakfast. I also realize that I must make exercising a priority despite my heavy workload. I must make myself a priority again. I’ve decided that I’ll only work occasional overtime from now on. My health is too important and my family needs me, too.

Mondays can be magical for getting yourself back on track. I’m glad you’re now dwelling on the 1.4 pounds, it’s in the past. Just keep looking forward and remind yourself that you aren’t going to quit. I know it seems frustrating having to start over and over again, but as long as you keep trying you’ll get there.
