So, I skipped last week… Did anyone notice? There were just too many factors, too many things going on, and I didn’t think it was worth the stress of discussing it all when I hoped for a better week. I actually think I was down a pound from the week before, but that didn’t matter too much. I just needed to take a day off. I’m back at it after a crazy week, so I’m a little nervous to see what that means with the scale. Here goes nothing! 
To be honest, I don’t even remember my previous goals. I know I was working on drinking more water as usual and I’ve logged in to MyFitnessPal for a couple month straight, but I haven’t logged every bite and I’ve struggled with late night snacking and giving into temptation. We had a birthday party for my new 4 year old – I can’t believe it! He had his first little party with friends and we did a camping theme. We had a make-your-own trail mix, bug catching, roasting hot dogs, squirt guns, etc. It was so much fun and the kiddos were so darn cute! 
Along with the party came all sorts of goodies and a huge, delicious cake. I’m pretty proud of my restraint that day, but the days leading up to it, with all the temptation in the house, did not go well. I know I’m up from a few weeks ago, but hopefully I’m down from the last weigh-in. 
Down 0.9 is still down, I need to keep reminding myself of that. With the yo-yo-ing, I’m only down a total of three pounds in the last six weeks and that’s something to get a little bummed out about… Instead, I choose to use it as motivation to get my tush in gear. I have four days left of my Better Together DietBet and I’m determined not to let the group or myself down!
My goals for the week:
- Stay strong at the cabin. This is a trigger situation for me – there are all sorts of yummy foods and candy jars, and it can be pretty hard…
- I came prepared with all sorts of fruits and veggies – cucumber, carrots, celery, cauliflower broccoli, mango, nectarines, apples, avocados, lettuce, spinach, etc – and I’m determined to keep my snacking healthy!
- C25K all week! I love running up here! My plans is to get out for a run each day. I had a fantastic run today – the music was right, I was in the zone, and I danced and skipped my way through my cool down.
Here’s to a great week!
How are you doing with your goals?
I hear you! I was traveling for the first three weeks of June and I gained about 7 lbs. I am at a loss of how to get rid of them because I am working out a LOT and I feel like I’m eating ok (not great, but better than every meal out for three weeks).
I guess I might try no alcohol for a little while. That’s hard though because I just moved to Oregon and every other day it seems people just hang out and drink beer.
I’m training for a Spartan obstacle race in July – hopefully I see some change between now and then!
