Despite not exercising I continued to hold my own when it came to
my food. I was eating at home and taking
my meals to work. Last Monday and
Tuesday, however, was carb city and I indulged in a few too many bagels. Boy did they hit the spot! My food choices were pretty poor those two
days.
I ended up skipping the WW scale at my Tuesday meeting. When I came home from Hawaii with more weight
to lose than anytime during my maintenance journey, I vowed I wouldn’t skip the
scale. I did my WI at home and knew I
just couldn’t get on the WW scale and make my gain “official.” Mentally I wasn’t in a good place.
I really don’t know what brought on the funk but since Wednesday (the
start of my new WW week) my eating has been relatively clean and my exercise
has started to ramp up. Already this
week I have earned more APs than all of last week total. Slowly but surely I am working my way out of
this funk.
I was listening to the Half Size Me podcast Heather Weighs In segment. Heather talked about weight loss and how we
want the reward for our hard work this very minute. It is
hard to take the time needed to be consistent.
Whether it takes a few months or one year we will eventually get to
where we want to be. So why is consistency
so hard?
I think part of my funk is just feeling like it is taking so long
to get back to goal. I guess by now I
thought I would be there. I want the
reward now since I have been doing the hard work. But in reality I just need to be consistent. If I stay consistent the reward will
eventually come.
Now that I have rotated to the graveyard shift I can get outside
more for walks. I have also looked at
the YMCA class schedule to try and find something else to shake up my
activity. With the warmer weather I also
hope to hike Table Rock more.
