Ugh, I knew it was coming. I lost weight steadily all week and my # had been staying steady (1.6 lbs down) for the last 3 days. It was tough to get my ring off last night, though, and today I was UP 1.6 lbs. That's right, it's TOM week. At least I planned for it, know that I actually DID lose 1.6 lbs that is currently disguised by water weight, and that I will, within 10 days or so, have my accurate weight displayed on the scale. But it's kind of demoralizing to see the number. Oh, well, moving forward!
LaurieDawn, that's so true. Just a series of decisions for the rest of our lives and if we mainly make good decisions, it will all even out in the end. I think it's great that you allowed yourself a little splurge, didn't beat yourself up, and just kept going with your plan. Hope you get your steps in!
Vlad, I've been on...is it called a swing shift?...before. 12 hour days, 2 days on, 3 days off, 3 days on, 2 days off, etc. It can be tough. I'm glad you have some kindred spirits there!
I get annoyed with those "I could never do that!" comments too, but for me it's about my hobbies. I wanted to learn how to knit/embroider/quilt, so I took classes, watched a million videos, and practiced, and learned how. The fact is, if you truly WANT to do it, and have the perseverance to put in the time to accomplish your goal, you CAN do it. Same goes for weight loss, I think. It will definitely never happen if you don't try!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
