Lagging Behind, But NOT Giving Up

Sorry, I didn't have time to post last week... I had a work event on Thursday and then held a graduation party at my house for about 25 people (my house is not that big - we got creative as it was HOT AS HELL) and then we had the kids through Monday.

So, I'm not doing well.  Struggling a lot.  Not tracking my food.  Eating what I want.  Blah Blah Blah...

I'm like most overweight people... I'm an emotional eater and food makes me feel good while I eat it.  And then after, I feel all kinds of guilt and more unhappy.

I've gained over the last two weeks, no surprise.  I haven't made time for the gym (feel guilty about that).  I'm unhappy with the way our house is doing on the market.  All kinds of negativity in my life... and I do not do well with negativity.

We are going away for the weekend to my in-laws place... where there's always good food and some drinking.  Drinking I can "manage" usually... I'd rather eat.  I'm going to try and at least be concious of what I'm eating, but the menu is not weight watcher friendly.  It never is.

For the rest of the time, I'm going to track.  I'll probably try and track there too, but it may get discouraging for the rest of the week... so that'll be a game time call for me.

I'm not giving up.  I'm not letting go.  I'm still down 50 lbs from when I originally started... I've just hit a huge speed bump.  I will get back on track... I'll try to control my emotions.  I'm not giving up!

I can't wait to be Healthfully Ever After.

Still Plugging Away

I'm still here, I'm still semi-focusing.  I'm not back 100% yet.  I did make it to the gym 1 time this week and I went Stand Up Paddleboarding, where I sat most of the time... but hey I went!

What I'm most proud of this week is that I turned down going to brunch with my family.  I responded with, I would really like to go but I probably shouldn't... and they responded with I'm proud of you.

I did not count my points most of the week, but I did a few days.  Not enough.  I lost this week, in spite of having my period.  So here's to still plugging away and must try harder!  What do I want more????

I can't wait until I'm Healthfully Ever After!
