Hiya ladies -- back from camping. It was fun....sort of, lol. The baby has apparently decided she no longer wants to sleep at night, so I was up every few hours with her and then permanently up by 6 every morning.
Normally when I camp, I use that as an excuse to stuff my face all day. Neverending bags of chips, cheetos, candy, etc. And then tons of hot chocolate and smores at night. The hubby likes to camp big (griddle on the stove,etc) -- so normally breakfasts are pancakes, french toast, etc.
Well, I decided not to splurge this trip. EVERY day I ran around the campground. Uphills. I forced myself to go when I thought I couldn't. I didn't eat one chip or cheeto. I only allowed myself candy one day (a couple servings of gobstoppers...about 250 calories). When everyone else had hamburgers, I had gardenburgers using 1/2 a crappy whole wheat tortilla for a bun. I only had hot chocolate one night, and I skipped the whip cream and made it not very chocolatey. Instead of pancakes and french toast, I brought zucchini yogurt pancakes and flavored them with blueberries and banana with agave instead of syrup. For dinner I ate grilled vegetables. And I did eat smores, but I limited myself to one or two marshmallows a night.
I felt so proud of myself. Even after we came home and we were both exhausted, I ate salad for dinner instead of caving in when the hubby suggested pizza. I was SOOOOOO sure when I weighed myself today that the scale would be in the 180s. But nope. Still at 190. Freaking A. Resisting all those temptations and forcing myself to run everyday (Even when we got home I still ran after unpacking) and the scale didn't even budge. I am a little cranky right now, lol.
I envisioned that moment of stepping on the scale and seeing 180 something the entire trip. Everytime I watched the family eating delicious crappy food and I resisted, I envisioned that scale moving down. And it didn't...so now I am going to go and drown my sorrows in shopping. So there
I know it will go down but just peeved right now. But I'm moving on!
I'm too exhausted to go and catch up on personals right now...I will try later. But I did see your post
vdh2102 and I'm sorry....
That sucks....you have to at least be gaining muscle or something!
Just keep plugging away at it! Could be just your extremities that are bloated- hands and feet? It has happened to me only once or twice.
for you to get back to your pre-outta-town weight ASAP! My dad found a treadmill from one of his storage auctions (for his thrift store) and is letting me and SIL have it to use! I'm gonna start using it on Monday for walking. Excited!
Boo!
