Good morning all! It took me a couple days to find you again - I thought it was just that the #11 challenge was lost in the Friday crash and no one restarted it. Whoops!
Well, it's been a miserable few days for me and I'm back to my start weight from the last challenge. So again I say:
SW: 193.5
CW: 193.5
GW: 188.5
I feel like such crap. Friday I came down with some sort of stomach-achy flu so I spent 90% of my day in bed or in the bathroom. I started the day showing a 1.5 lb loss from the start of last challenge, 192 lbs. I even managed to get my workout in (albeit kind of low-effort) before my stomach really flared up. By the next morning I was down to 190.5! But I didn't make the best food choices over the weekend, and it was miserably hot and humid so I got no real exercise. And that's the story of how I went from 192 to 190.5 to 193.5 in a weekend.
The hot weather is still persisting, along with sticky, icky humidity, and I can't bear to exercise. I'm still daunted by lots of the likelihood of many restaurant meals this week (more than usual, and it's usually 4+) and I still haven't had the TOM that was expected Friday. So this weekend is pretty much fired and I expect the rest of the week may be too. I'm so annoyed right now, I'm ready to throw in the towel.
Girls, I don't know what I'd do without this support. Wait, yes I do. I tried for close to two months to lose, joined 3FC and immediately started losing about a pound a week. That's partly a coincidental plateau break, but having support kept me pushing through it. Well I really need it now, because I feel like I don't know how on earth to push this sedentary body of mine to exercise in this weather, and it's probably the main thing that had me losing. Did I mention our air conditioning doesn't work?
Sorry this is so long and whiney, I'm gonna reread Paula's plateau posts from a couple days ago, and the nice plan she wrote up - maybe that will encourage me to get on track and try that too. I mentioned my woeful weekend in the Christmas challenge thread already, and Josephine made a good point that it's pretty simple; if you can't exercise as much, eat less. It makes me cranky because I'm trying to get in better shape not just lose weight, but I'll try to sneak in some weights and just suck it up til the ac is fixed.
