I was strong for those first days of the week! I stayed with my normal routines and habits and did great! I worked up a plan for my thanksgiving day! I knew that I wouldn’t be bubbling as I prepared food! I knew that I was only going to have one plate of food. I also knew that I was going to eat primarily vegetables...and splurge on the stuffing (which is what I wanted most for that meal!). I nailed my plan! I calculated my calories and I absolutely nailed Thanksgiving Day!!!
We got out and hiked and explored a bit over the weekend. We went to the Monterey Pass Battlefield...it’s in Blue Ridge Summit, PA. I never knew about this battlefield. So it was interesting!!!!
I was also off work on Friday. Jason had to work so I went back to Hagerstown to visit my family....where there was a lot of leftovers. I didn’t go into that day with a plan. I already mentioned that I was so looking forward to the stuffing...there was more stuffing on Friday! I also had been really looking forward to the turkey salad that we made with the leftovers. I had some at my house before I went to Hagerstown...I ate some more for a second breakfast at my mom’s house and I ate more for lunch with my leftovers. I just fell apart totally!!!
The weekend was a normal weekend of eating...but on Sunday I was so hungry. I’m not sure why! But I was and I ate too much that day also!
So I was worried about my weigh in! Rightfully so! I gained 1.6 pounds! Grrrrr. My average weight for the week (my weight from every day added together and divided to give myself a true picture of my weeks efforts). I dropped 0.2 . So I can take comfort in that....
It was one day. And I know that. But I am concerned. My birthday and a long weekend is only 2 short weeks away....and Christmas is only 4 weeks away. My birthday I should be able to do ok on...but Christmas...yikes! But this is life. Life and weight loss don’t make for an easy journey. I’m not giving up! So I will weather the storms and move forward regardless...and learn from my mistakes!!!
