Week 6: July 15 Weigh-In

I am really struggling right now. I’m really stressed, embarrassed, and discouraged, but I’m not ready to quit. I did not succeed last week, but I am really hoping to turn things around in a big way this week.

Food column: 3 Fs and 4 stickers.

Points accrued: 0

Exercise column: 2 Fs and 5 stickers also.

Points accrued: 0

Water column: All stickers. Yay! I’m happy to meet at least one goal this week.

Points accrued: 10

Weight change this week: 0 lbs. This is a small miracle in itself. I’m not happy with it, but I’m happier than I would be if I had gained weight.

Points accrued: 10

Total weight loss: 5 lbs

Total points accrued: 200

I hope you have a great week. If you can relate to where I am right now, don’t give up. I won’t either. Rain or shine, I will “see” you next week!

Weeks 4 & 5: July 1 & July 8 Weigh-Ins

I have not been very good the last couple of weeks. I have kind of run away from the problem and I’m not completely sure why. My record keeping the past couple of weeks has been really bad so I don’t have exact numbers on stickers vs. Fs. I do know that I missed atleast one day of eating well, exercising, and water each week so I didn’t accrue any bonus points for those. Here’s the breakdown:

Food column: Atleast one day I ate something I shouldn’t have.

Points accrued: 0

Exercise column: I missed atleast one day of exercising.

Points accrued: 0

Water column: I’m almost positive I missed my requirement of 96 oz atleast once each week.

Points accrued: 0

Weight change July 1: -0.3 lbs

Points accrued: 10

Weight change this week: -1.70 lbs

Points accrued: 10

Weight change since last milestone: -0.25 lbs. I am really disappointed in myself on this one!

Points accrued: 30

Next Milestone: 2 weeks

Total weight loss: 5 lbs. Looking back on my record, I had almost lost this much on 6/17. The next week I gained weight and I spent the next two weeks in a tailspin. This is a good lesson on how one bad decision lasts way longer than just one moment. Ouch…

Total points accrued: 180

I am 4.4 lbs away from the next 10 lb range and I am making that my goal for this week. I need to get back to my work ethic and start making some progress!
