With two days off last week for the 4th of July, I was worried about staying on track and sticking to my routine. I decided to use the time off to my advantage and finished longer workouts on Monday and Tuesday. I kept up my Insanity and weight training workouts the rest of the week, and I confidently stepped onto the scale Saturday morning to bask in my impressive weight drop.
*womp, womp, womp*
I weighed in at 163.6, barely a pound down from last week. What the hell? I busted my ass for that? What a rip-off!
Yes, I know, if a friend or fellow blogger had lost a pound and was upset, I would say/type in my most soothing voice/font, “Any loss is a good loss, at least you’re still moving down, it’s never just a pound, great job”, and more of the same. But it’s really hard to swallow, especially after working so hard.
That leaves me with 3.6 pounds to lose in 2 weeks to reach my mini-goal before the wedding. I know the world won’t collapse if I don’t hit 159 by the wedding, but it would mean a lot to me to see the 150’s and reach the goal I set so long ago. (It’s not my goal weight, mind you, just a mini-goal).
My fiance said not to let it get to me, but of course I am letting it get to me, with a fierceness. I keep replaying the week, trying to pinpoint what I did wrong, what I need to do differently this week.
I’m going to shake things up a bit this week, see what happens. I’ve been doing Insanity workouts for my cardio for over two months, and even though they are crazy intense, maybe my body is used to them. I’m going to move onto Insanity MAX this week and also add in some variety with my cardio, like HIIT workouts and the step aerobics workout I did this morning. I will keep tracking my food as usual and aim for 2 pounds gone by the end of the week.
