5%! Heck yes! That was exciting to see this morning.. Considering I've been stepping on the scale daily to "peek" and I've been up every single day by no less than 3 pounds I was sure that I was going to see a gain this week. I did really well on Saturday, tracked everything and felt great. Then I went a little overboard on Sunday and really overboard on Monday and just decided the week was shot. Up until Wednesday afternoon when I decided to reach out for help.
I decided to ask for accountability to some friends I have online who frequent the same message board that I do. I received a wonderful response to my request and now have a few people who I email, text or facebook with daily/every other day/once a week to check in and see how we are doing. I like this a lot because I feel like I am able to be there to support them as well and it's more of a give and take than me just getting what I need.
I tracked everything on Thursday and yesterday and actually completed my daily journal on MFP both days. I haven't done that in a while... It felt wonderful to get on the scale this morning and to see that not only did I have a loss, not only did I reach my 5% goal, but I am also out of the 180s. I haven't been in this weight range in too long and it's a very exciting start to my week.
I am going to use this as motivation to stay on track all week this week so that I don't go back up to the 180s next week. I have an email that I'm waiting for response for something pretty exciting/scary/nerve wracking that I would like to do next Saturday. Pending spaces available I might be putting my self esteem to the ultimate test. May need to add in some strength training this week depending on if I get an appointment or not...
Last weeks goals:
1. Track: I did really well with my tracking on Saturday and most of the day on Sunday. I don't know what happened to cause the stop in tracking other than a bad meal which turned into a bad day which continued on through most of the week. I can't go back and change it, so instead I am looking forward to the next week.
2. Water: Same old, same old. I am going to be doing a much better job with tracking my water in take and I am going to get in at least 8 glasses a day. I feel so much better when I do and I know how important it is to stay hydrated. I will succeed in this goal at least once!
3. NMTZ challenge: This ended on Valentine's day. I took the night off of the challenge for my one free night and ended up losing all motivation to continue. Not good. But I am planning on picking up a similar/less intense workout on March 1st with scheduled rest days so that I will be forcing myself to be better about letting my body heal.
4. No self sabotaging: I'm pretty sure I sabotaged myself by making this my goal. I'm not sure what is wrong with me, but I realize there is a problem and I'm working on finding ways to make it easier for myself to see the successes by sticking with it.
