Well folks it has finally happened. After forty straight weeks of losing weight, I guess it was bound to happen that I would have a week where I didn't lose. As I said yesterday, this was one of my worst weeks so far. I made poor decisions for what foods I was eating, and had several meals that I was unsure of the calories. Even though I exercised a lot, I still managed to not only fail to lose, but also put on a little. I am not beating myself up too much about this. It's one bad week. Also, I'm pretty sure that the discipline I put into working out kept me from having a large setback. So this week I'm going to be more disciplined in what I put in my body. No more eating a meal, and then saying, "oops!"
When I stepped on the scale this morning, I definitely didn't see the numbers I was hoping to see (anything under 231lbs.). Instead I saw my weight go up slightly. As of this morning I was up (yes, you read that correctly) .2 lbs. This brings my total loss to 134.6 lbs., with a current weight of 231.6 lbs. I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, my workouts would have still helped me come down at least a half pound. I can say that I am glad that it was only 0.2 lbs. gained. I weigh almost the exact same as I did last week. I'm not worried about heading back down, rather I'm just frustrated about the wasted week. So I'm not going to beat myself up over this. Instead I will use it as fuel to do better this week. I have to go back to the discipline and focus that has gotten me to this point. I'm grateful I didn't have a major setback. I gained this week, and now I'm more focused than ever on losing my butter half.
My calories today have been really good. I had a normal breakfast and salad for lunch. Bekah made a really great salmon patty for dinner tonight. I made a buffalo sauce to spread on it (which was absolutely delicious). I did have a little Halo Top (which is very low calorie) after dinner to help get my calories where I wanted them. My exercise was great. I ran again tonight and completed two miles again. I'm starting to think this may be a regular thing!
