Well, sisters in the struggle--I am not surprised.
I have been so stressed the last 4-6 weeks. I am in the middle of a very difficult move and basically doing it on my own since hubby is so busy and away and blah, blah, blah. Since I am a creature of habit, I have also been experiencing stress mentally. The result? EATING and WEIGHT GAIN! For a couple of weeks I cut way back on my workouts and made excuses. I also overate--healthily but overeating still the same and way too many PROCESSED complex carbs.
Finally, I had enough. I forced myself onto the scale. I had gained FIVE pounds.
My fave jeans are really snug and I knew what I had been doing and I also knew I had avoided the scale like the plague. So, yep. No surprise. No, it wasn't and isn't sodium. It isn't my cycle. It's my old friend--FAT!
I am happy to report I am back on the wagon. I am down -2 now with three more to go. Many of you know how slow these last few pounds have been for me. The fact I have regained is hard for me to accept but I know I have done it myself.
I am back to my workouts. Back to avid calorie counting and food journaling. And althogh my move isn't finished I am going to make a concerted effort to be here at 3FC more.
Love you guys and thanks for reading. Mary
