A little up…A little down…
Happy Friday buddies… Well, I finally weighed in today…Havent done so in two weeks…
I am only down 2.5 pounds…Remember. This is still re-loss…UGH…
While I AM glad I lost. I sure did work hard for those two pounds…So today I am just trying to just stick with it and calm myself down…Its depressing to work hard and see such little results…Especially when you are reved up and raring to go…
Trying to focus on the big picture and not just today…
Already, I know I am in a better frame of mind. Because over the last few months if I was down ANY amount, I would use that as an excuse to take a day off…Not today…
I am still keeping on plan today and MOST of the weekend…Because if I dont, I will regain and lose the same 5 pounds for the rest of my life…
I do have two social engagements this weekend that will throw me off plan a bit, but I am going to try hard to stick close. Still journal everything even if I go over AND work out…
I even had an invite for dinner tonight and I declined. Because I think I will hit the gym tonight on my way home and just eat a light meal…
Sooo. I guess I am a bit mixed today. Happy the scale went down. Sad it was even up to begin with. Sad that it wasnt a ten pound loss (Hey, a gal can dream cant she?) Happy that I have been good all week. Sad that I am not yet at my goal weight due to my own stupidity…
Well…Gonna go pull myself up…Thats the only thing I can do…I cant let it derail me…I got a long way to go!!!
Understanding that, and accepting that, will be the key to my success…
Take care buddies…
Keep it up and you’ll get to y our goal weight before you know it!!!!
I don’t know that I would call that gain ’stupidity’ Dawn…come on let;s be a little more understanding of ourselves k?
God knows that you have had a ton of stuff going on, there is only so much we can focus on at one time.
You’ll get it back off.
There is no miracle that will keep the weight off once we get there. It’s all about determination & lifestlye changes. You will encounter many ups & downs throught the rest of your life, as we all will.
Keep going! Stay focused! Love yourself…no matter what!!!
You and me are exactly alike!! Last year the same 5-10 lbs went off came on, went off, came on. I didn’t gain my weight back, but its frustrating. We just have to get back into the frame of mind that we CAN do it. I just got comfortable with being where I was, which is ok, but now I want more. 2008 Is the year for both of us!!!
I know what you mean. I have been working sooo hard this week and was down about a pound and now I am up 2…what in the world? oh well…I will move on. I hope you have a good day.
Congrats on losing 2.5 even if it wasn’t as much as you had hoped and congrats on sticking with your plan.
This journey sure does come with a lot of mixed emotions doesn’t it?
But somehow we just gotta keep on and thats what you are doing so good for you.
Take care Dawn and have a great weekend!

Congrats on your 2 and sorry it wasn’t more - you’ve been working really hard and i love that you are staying on it today even though you are bummed. like you said, Well…Gonna go pull myself up…Thats the only thing I can do…I cant let it derail me…I got a long way to go!!!
Understanding that, and accepting that, will be the key to my success…
amen to that sistah!
have fun at the gym tonight - i love the Firday night gym - nice and quiet for the weekend!
I think the loss is fantastic because things are moving in the right direction and that’s down. I remember reading my Bob Greene book once where he encourages the reader not to regain weight because it tends to be harder to lose than before and I think he’s right. This week I’m working my butt off and I’m not going to have a huge number this week (at least I don’t think so)and it’s because of a regain. But, at least we are moving down. Good for you going to your workout tonight instead of out. You have plans this weekend so it’s not like you won’t have any fun at all so better to get in the workout tonight. Have a great weekend!
way to go………..
Congrats!
Way to go woman! Focus on the positive, a loss is a loss no matter when it happens..
baby steps… one day at a time. YOu will get there.
2.5 lbs is great no matter what so WTG!!! I think it’s great you’re going to the gym and I understand the challenge in the social engagements. I’m still trying to figure out how to partake in those without gaining 5 lbs every time I do….
