Good Morning and Happy Friday. I can’t believe it is almost the end of January. Typically this month passed quickly followed by a long February. Our temps are so cold I am ready for warmer weather.
While I stepped on the scale Tuesday, it did not get recorded. OMG it was rough. Let’s rewind to January 18th. After having a few days off work to de-stress, I was really loose with my tracking and ended up with a 2 pound gain. While that was rough, I had planned to get back on track and Saturday through Monday was on track. The biggest setback was my grandpa passing away.
I was able to take the whole week of work and while I tried to balance eating out with eating in and made a commitment to myself to NOT turn to sugar for indulgences, I was up A LOT on January 25, the day I had planned to complete my employee weight-in for the month. For the first time in a while, I saw 200 pounds again.
GULP.
I was legit embarrassed to step on the “official” scale. After a rough end to January, my tracking was less than stellar and the scale showed it.
I re-focused as I knew I had to get my employee weigh-in on record today. I checked in on the scale throughout the week and saw so many ups and downs. I was really stressing it yesterday when my home scale jumped back up again to 199. UGH. It was so frustrating. When I woke up today, the scale had come back down.
It wasn’t enough of a loss and I still had a on both my home scale and the “official” scale. I am 100% on track this week which feels really good. I have also stayed committed to my activity this entire month, which makes me feel proud of myself.
I will bring the scale back down. I am always glad when I can catch these gains on the small(er) side vs. having to navigate 5+ pound gains. My monthly weigh-in for 2022 is still under 200, which is my main focus. I was up 2 pounds from the end of 2021 but that is okay.
I have a new month ahead of me where I can work hard and stay focused.
