Considering how well the week started I’m a little disappointed (but not too much) about the way it’s going. I’m not really bothered about the weight readings, I’m more bothered that I haven’t stuck to my eating plan.
Luckily I Know why it’s happening so I can do something about it.
My usual daily routine isn’t happening because the kids are still home from school while we’re all snowed in. Sounds dramatic but where I live, being snowed in happens after on 4 inches of snow. All the schools are closed and the kids are bored so there’s a certain amount of comfort eating on my part.
It looks like the schools might be closed next week too so I need to try hard to get back to the plan. Spending a few days each week eating only one meal a day is too much to go through if during the rest of the week I undo all that I’ve achieved.
I’ve missed a daily updates as well and this is also due to the lack of routine.
Weight Checks:
Thur 186.6
Fri 186.8
Today 187.2
Just because I’ve overeaten doesn’t mean it’s all doom and gloom. It doesn’t mean that I have to abandon what I’m trying to do. It just means I need to adapt to changing circumstances.
If I were to look for a bright side I would point out that I’ve been very physically active over the last week. The snow has meant lots of shovelling and sweeping snow from driveways. Had I not been doing this stuff and still been over eating I would have cause to worry – but what I’m encountering now is only a minor glitch.
Losing weight is important to me but it isn’t who I am – it’s just something I’m doing. Life goes on.
I’m still around two pounds down on last weeks weight so I’ll cling to that to carry me through.
