Onwards and upwards to another week. I'm still just about on target I think.

), and skipped out on most of my workouts for the week, as well as my second fasting day. So, showing an actual gain for Week Two was not at all a surprise. I also went MIA again on here, which has historically been my MO when things start going off the rails a little, health-wise. Hoping I can snap out of whatever this funk has been this week and get back to my normal routine from here on out. I think the struggle I've been having lately finally caught up to me, but I don't want to lose the reins over it. I avoided posting in here the last few days because I've been in such a negative mindset, and I don't feel like that is helpful to bring around other people dealing with similar struggles....I try to be as positive and upbeat as I can, since I feel like that helps others, as well as myself, as we all figure this stuff out. However, I don't want to just disappear completely when weeks like this happen, so thank you for letting me hash this stuff out from time to time, as well.

I have also been feeling a bit low the past week so I can completely understand the temptation to throw up my hands and just forget it. I don't think you always have to be positive, I think this place is also for when we struggle. There's no way we can get through this from start to goal without many days of struggling and the desire to quit. I feel like this forum is a place full of people that completely understand the urge to do so and have done it many times, I know I have. I will say you have come so far and you will make it. Everything that has happened this past week is now in your rear view mirror. You are going forward and you will succeed!

I never realized just how long this journey would take, I had a bunch of illusions about it... but with that length of time has come many times where I have lost dedication and fallen off track for a while. The important part is that you are still here and you are so much healthier now than you were at the start. If its any consolation, I too can relate and that is the reason why I didn't start this challenge until the 11th this month. You have always been very positive, but its okay to vent and ask for help too, it won't bring any of us down- we have all been there! I hope that you feel better very soon. Nice to see you! There must be something in the air because I also stopped posting for a good amount of time. I am trying to get back on here daily since it really does help, but for a while I was too ashamed about how much I had gained from Easter weekend. I can relate to so much of what you posted right down to being overwhelmed with work. Try to be gentle with yourself, we all have slip ups, but you have done amazing and will get back on track. 
I hope that you have a fantastic week and that your back feels better. I love how you were able to have some fries and mac and cheese and not go overboard, I do not do well with moderation like that at all! Nice drop as well!! You are doing awesome and I have no doubt your A1C numbers are going to look great in June for your appointment. 
on being the lowest weight in the past 5 years, you are rocking this!!! It sounds like you are making good choices and I bet you are getting in a ton of steps!!
