Surprisingly holding steady

I’ve been having a little difficulty recovering from the Memorial Day weekend (yes, a week and a half ago). To celebrate with my family I brought some food purchased at Costco to my grandma’s. I had enormous size bags of chips and dip among other things and when the festivities where over I brought home the leftovers and I’ve been eating them ever since. Well, they’re gone now and surprisingly I weighed 178 today. I’ve also skipped a few workouts and that made me even more afraid to face the scale.

I guess it takes a little longer for me to get derailed than it used to. Behavior like that previously mentioned isn’t helping with my weight loss progress but it doesn’t set me back either. Today I feel better towards making progress again.

I wasn’t mentally with it over the past week either and that’s why I didn’t write at all. Maybe it would have helped if I had. It was that time of the month and it just got to me and I wasn’t motivated.

In reflecting on my emotions over the past month I can tell the rollercoaster is increasingly less dramatic. It’s still a rollercoaster, but it moves slower and the peaks and valleys have less contrast between them. That’s all good.

And best of all, lately people have been commenting that I’m looking smaller yet which surprises me a bit because there hasn’t been much change in my weight. Maybe it’s my demeanor.
