So why was this week rough?
Well....to start off. That large weight gain that I feel was largely unwarranted really threw me for a loop and I kinda threw up my hands and said ‘I just don’t care’. Luckily for me I didn’t totally stop caring...but it was bad enough! I ate more food then I should have! I ate mode junk than I should have! I just stopped caring! Luckily that mindset only lasted half of the week! But it was enough I’m sure! So yeah, I had a bit of a vacation from weight loss this week.
On Thursday my work had our annual thanksgiving dinner. The company has the main portion of the meal catered and we bring (are supposed to bring...it’s crazy how many people don’t feel the need to participate) the desserts and drinks! I feel as if I did pretty good with my choices...but I did indulge in a bit of dessert!
Exercise? It’s cold!!!! We didn’t do ANYTHING active over the weekend! I didn’t run after work....but I have a valid reason for not running! There was some ‘incident’ at our apartment complex! It was bad enough that they put flyers on all of our doors and sent us all emails advising us that there was an incident and that we need to be aware of our surrounds...uhhhhh ok! Oh and then it threw in a sentence saying ‘don’t open the door to strangers either’. It was a very ambiguous...it could have been any nefarious act! Jason’s comment was that he wished they gave us a bit more information....so we knew exactly where to be extra vigilant. Meanwhile...we are in the early stages of pondering getting an exercise bike/spin bike for our house...something to help progress our biking skills/endurance and keep us active this winter. Problem is...I just bought a car and I’m a bit tighter on my money right now. Hmmm. So I’m looking at some of the cheaper alternatives to the good ones. Because sure...if I could afford the peloton bike or Nordic track one...I would certainly go with those! But....
I have walked outside on a few days during my lunch break...so that’s a plus!!!
I haven’t given up. I just hit a bump in the road. This is part of the journey to lose weight. And the fact that I got back up and started to care again after my vacation from losing weight is the victory! I’m still in this game baby!!!!
