So sometimes I feel very unqualified to write this blog and so I just don't post anything but then I got thinking-I'm a real person on a real journey and that includes the good bad and the ugly. So here is what has been happening lately!
So March went pretty well in fact I was on schedule to lose 5 lbs during that month! I was THRILLED! Then about 1 1/2 weeks ago I started making chocolate chip cookies for random events. Now I don't know if you do this but for some reason I feel like when I eat cookie dough it doesn't really count because it's not like they are 'real' cookies. DUMB! I know!
Then last week my little girl got an ear infection and a yeast infection/diaper rash! Needless to say my schedule was turned upside down! I wasn't working out, getting enough sleep and I was not eating the right things.
Easter is this month. Now you might not think this is a big deal but it is! I can resist Christmas goodies but Easter goodies! Forget about it! Peeps, Candbury Eggs, Robin Eggs, etc. I have VERY little self control!
Well here I am on the 4th of April only 1lb lighter than March 1st! :( I feel totally deflated! All of that hard work right down the drain! Thankfully my darling girl is feeling better. I am hoping to KICK butt this week! This month is going to be better than March was turning out to be! I am going to work harder than ever! You see my baby girl turns ONE at the end of May and my goal was to be at my goal weight by her first birthday! I have 12lbs to go!
So here is to a WONDERFULLY HEALTHY APRIL!
ps thank you for letting me vent. i know it's not as much fun to read but i really feel better afterwards!
i like reading this blog because you write about weight loss how it is- hard and difficult and not fun half the time. this week i had a similar experience- i was scheduled to go for a 9 mile run on saturday morning. i had josh drop me off 9.3 miles away from my house and i was supposed to just run home. my goal was to run without stopping. well, let's just say that didn't happen and i walked more on that run than any other run i have ever done. when i got home, i sat on the ground and just cried because i felt so defeated. i wanted to reach my goal so badly, but fell short and i felt like all the training i had done until that point was worthless. but then i was reminded that i had some things going against me- i was wearing new shoes that weren't broken in yet, i didn't have any water, and i was running outside in the cold weather which i never do. realizing that i was still making progress but had a few bumps in the road made me feel better. and this morning, i got up bright and early to hit the treadmill again.
ReplyDeleteyou're not alone in your journey to get fit! remember how far you've come and even if the scale doesn't show you exactly what you want to see, think about how good you've been feeling lately and the accomplishments you've made. good job and thanks for the motivation!
