Things I think that went wrong for me this week when I look back were some issues I dont think I can help and some that I did have in my power to control. I had PMS last week which means water retension for me (not within my control) and cravings that I gave into on occasion (soooo within my control) and Im kicking myself for that now.
Another issue is exercise and will continue to be an even bigger issue this week. Last week I was on a hot streak until the weekend. I felt set back a bit by the whole shoe thing on Wednsday as we live 45 minutes from the nearest pace to get any shoes so they have to wait until our regular shopping day which is this Friday. I did do My Biggest Loser workout for the Wii in which I dont need any shoes, but then slacked on the weekend when I began to start feeling sick and icky. Mistake. Shoulda worked through it.
The bigger challenge this week is going to be any form of exercise at all :( Yes I know TMI moment here but when 'that time' comes (ladies you know what Im sayin) I cant do any physical work. I mean not even lifting a laundry basket full of wet clothes. When I had the two miscarriages before the birth of my seventh child I developed a bleeding problem and I am virtually on total rest during this week. It sucks but trust me when I say its better than hemorrhaging since the nearest ER is also 45 minutes away. So here I sit. If I just maintain during this week I will be a very, very happy girl.
All in all I think there were a lot of things I did right this week in terms of food choices and exercise, but again in retrospect I have some areas I can definitely work on.
* Look at the babies lil smudgy hand prints! You KNOW Im not feelin well when I dont even clean off the screen for a picture :)))
ReplyDeleteTMI!!! TIM!!! Just kidding...this is the place to be real so TMI as much as you want.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on meeting your goal especially since this was a rough week for you. Keep up the great work...you'll be there before you know it.
Hang in there, HoneyB! That time of the month is always tough, and it's great if you can make it without a gain!
ReplyDeleteIt will get easier HB. Just think, you are moving 25 less pounds then when you started! As that number slowly grows being physical becomes easier and easier.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up

Well yay for 25lbs! That's a much smaller load you're carrying around now. When I feel its nt=ot alot, I just picture holding 2 10lb weights and imagine that I am now *not* carrying them around all day long!
ReplyDeleteGood job wit the loss. A loss is a loss!
