This week wasn't as successful as my first two weeks. I can honestly say that I still worked the plan, but it just wasn't meant to be. That's ok too.
I started my weight week gung ho. I was coming off of two highly successful weeks of weight loss. I was sure that I could carry on with the success. I mean, how hard could it be? It was hard....on Monday I went to eat lunch and opened the refrigerator. What to eat, what to eat. I didn't see many options for my normal vegetable lunch so I grabbed......a piece of leftover pizza. First of all, That was more calories than I wanted to spend on a single item for my lunch. But secondly, it wasn't exactly choke full of nutrition. Two strikes against that lunch.
I was able to watch my calories the rest of the day and I didn't blow my calorie count for the day. But, that day I was a bit higher than normal. I wasn't worried though. Friday I went to lunch with my mom and brother and ate more than usual for lunch....and then had my normal Friday night dinner. So my calories were a bit higher. Two higher caloric days. And when I say higher....I mean that I ate 1500-1600 calories TOTAL. Not 1500 more than my planned caloric goal. I was only 300 calories over my goal...for two days. I continued on with my exercise plan. I did really well. I'm right on track with my miles. We even got in a nice long ride on the canal on our bikes! I'm doing great with my exercises. Spot on! Yet.....
This week I showed a gain of 0.6 pounds.
I won't lie and say that I'm not bothered by it. It is infuriating. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that I can say that my calories and my accounting of my food and exercise was and is spot on. I didn't lie to myself. I didn't 'forget' to count the bites licks and tastes. I counted everything. I did what I needed to do. The scales just weren't with me this time. And you know what, that's ok!
I am here to be healthy. Healthy is what I am doing. The weight will fall away....sooner or later. Hopefully sooner!
