Last week when I wrote my weekly weigh in I was so super disappointed and disillusioned. I am tired of getting no results on the scales. I'm tired of keeping my calories down around 1400-1600 calories and NOT losing! That range SHOULD have me losing at least a pound a day! But no...not my body!
I talked in my last weekly check in blog about how I was frustrated I was and how I was just trying to hang tight until after my vacation! I think I did a pretty good job of that this weekend. I didn't go crazy. I just kept myself at an even level! And to that end, I didn't gain nor did I lose!
I think this might be a good thing....a sort of 'vacation' from the stress and constant counting and worrying about my calories and my weight loss efforts. I have been on this weight loss journey for years. YEARS! It gets old. I'm not giving up...I'm just stepping back and regrouping. I am thinking about how to change and adapt to a lifestyle that will be conducive to me actually losing weight!!!!
I am a work in progress and I am working to adjust and adapt. I may be stepping back and reevaluating but I am not out for the count!!!!!!

I am the same: I have been on this weight loss journey for years. I've made a lot of progress in the past, then backtracked and made my journey even longer. I am an advocate of taking a break and taking a fresh look at it and maybe taking a different route.
Enjoy your vacation. Sometimes regrouping, adapting, readjusting is what we need to move forward. Good luck with coming up with something that works for you.
Enjoy your break. We all need physical and mental breaks from our regular life from time to time. Hoping you enjoy your vacation and gain the clarity you need.
I'll miss ya but I understand! Sometimes we all need that breather!
Hi Mary Fran, It's Joy!! I'm back to it!!! I so agree with you regarding taking the stress off. I went on vacation last week, ate well and lost 3 pounds...For me I think the stress I put on myself is hindering me. Really working on this! Take care and be kind to yourself!!
I do think my break is helping...I am excited to really change and dive in and get this done. :-). First vacation...which is coming...can’t come soon enough though!!!
