Part of the reason I didn’t post yesterday is that I’m embarrassed. I say that I’m trying to lose weight, yet I keep veering off the path.
I say I’m doing it for my health, but I’m obviously not as serious as I should be even though it’s a big deal!
I’ve used parties, holidays, weekends and my mood swings as an excuse for why I’m consistently going over my calorie budget.
I use my job as an excuse for why I don’t have time to work out, but really I’m just not disciplined enough to get up earlier or carve out time at night.
I’m pretty much fulfilling the”prophesy” on my About Me page.
Today’s Weigh-In: down 0 pounds
Total Weight Loss: 8 pounds
To be completely honest, my weigh-in yesterday thrilled me. I deserved to have packed on 3 or more pounds with all the over-eating I’ve been up to, so to see that scale holding steady was a relief.
I almost think God knew I needed it. If I would have gained last week, I think I’d have been super tempted to throw in the towel.
But instead, I feel like I’ve been given a second shot to be serious.
So, here goes…we’ll see how everything looks next week.
* Weigh-In Wednesday’s will be posted on Wednesday next week as originally scheduled. The past 2 weeks have just been so pathetic I couldn’t bear to face you all on Wednesday.
I¡¯ve also been thinking the identical thing myself lately. Grateful to see another person on the same wavelength! Nice article.
You've lost 8 lbs. Rebecca…that's something in my book! Never give up! Take out the Little Engine That Could book and read it to Grace all the while taking on that attitude of “I think I can, I think I can…” and before you know it, you'll be saying “I know I can…” because I know you can! Love you…AB
Thank you for not making me eat birthday cake alone :)
Keep at it girl! Every morning that you wake up is another chance to make the healthier choice. Your blog is so honest and it is truly inspiring.
