So many of you will remember how my friends and I had a race to lost 20 lbs first at work (I won!) After that, they decided to take it to 30 lbs (no prize, just bragging rights) I just about hit the 30 lb mark last Thursday (.4 away!) Since last Thursday however, I haven't been to the gym, and I haven't been very on plan. Timmies for breakfast a few times, McDonalds a couple times and not been bringing the uber healthy lunches that I had been. It's been a busy week in my house, with bathroom renos, being sick etc. I decided that I would just take a break this week (trying not to go crazy with eating!) I find it hard to want to cook food when everything in my house is coated in a layer of drywall dust!
About 20 minutes ago, I left my cube to go out to the area where most of my friends work. Another friend stopped me on my way
He said - "I see you are the topic of conversation in the coaches area".
I said - "Huh? What are you talking about?"
He said - "They are talking about you being the winner of that thing you guys did"
I said - "Oh, ok... "
Proceeded to the "coaches area" to find them all standing together, talking. As they saw me approach, they stopped talking and one asked if I was done being sick yet. Another one asked if my bathroom was done yet. Those are the two excuses I have used this week to skip the gym...
It just felt.... so... weird.
I don't know what to think. I don't think they were talking smack about me behind my back or anything. I just don't know how I feel about a group of people discussing my weight loss or lack there of without me... ya know? I don't know for sure that's what they were talking about though. It could have just been a strange coincidence. These are some of my best friends and I know that they want me to succeed and want to be supportive (I think that's why they decided to go to 30 lbs, not for them, but for me....)
I just feel weird now.
Am I overreacting or over thinking this?
