Why is it that after a great weigh in, I struggle like crazy the next week? After losing nearly 3 pounds last week, all I’ve wanted to do this week is eat, eat, then eat some more, and it’s been like pulling teeth to make myself work out.
My fiance and I went out to dinner earlier this week, and I didn’t even bother to pretend to watch what I ate. Then we had a work luncheon, and I’m sure that meal had enough salt and calories for half a lifetime. I skipped one workout but managed to force myself to exercise every other day this week.
One major accomplishment this week: I finally started running again! While we were packing and stressing over buying the house and all the hold-ups with closing, I let running fall to the wayside. Then I just got lazy. It’s been well over 8 months since I went running. I decided to get back to it, nice and easy, so I started with a treadmill run with just the slightest incline. I lasted 3 miles and it nearly killed me, but I did it! My plan is to run again either this evening or tomorrow morning.
I have no idea what to expect at tomorrow’s weigh in. I did pretty well with workouts, especially considering that I really, really didn’t want to work out much this week. But my eating…well, that could have been a whole lot better. I will be happy with even a tiny loss tomorrow!
