I was out-of-town Friday-Sunday. It was great to see my friend and spend time with her. My drive back was horrendous Sunday night thanks to the storms. I arrived home waaaay later than I planned and I had an early AM appointment on Monday. I slept most of Monday after my appointment and then woke up feeling terrible. Last night I crashed early and today I still feel sick.
I threw away all the Easter candy I was given this morning. I feel so terrible after I eat it (physically...I just feel gross). I hate wasting it, but everyone I offered it to was over saturated with candy and I have no self-control, so it had to go. I want to lose 5lbs in the next two weeks, too, so Easter candy had to go because doesn't fit into that goal.
I got weighed in last night and was shocked at the number that popped up! I thought I was about 10-15 lbs lighter. It definitely ruined my night. I weighed myself this morning on my scale and got 7 lbs less, which unfortunately does not make me feel any better. While I knew I had gained some weight, I did not expect *that* number on the scale. Here I thought I could lose about 35 lbs and be happy with that, now it's more like 50
sweetchix this is why I don't go by the scale. Are you doing measurements? As an example, in college I had roommate who was considerably more healthy than me. We were the same height. She was 20 lbs heavier than me and two sizes smaller.
I'm feeling really healthy lately. I think I finally have a way of eating that is working for me and I'm so happy about it. I've really cut down on the wine consumption and I have to say I don't miss it that much. I NEVER thought I would say this, like ever. But I'm getting better sleep, my anxiety has decreased like whoa, and I'm sticking to my eating plan so much better! I've only had 3 glasses total in the last week (and like normal glasses too. Not the this is a half of a bottle of wine kind.)
I've also started doing a walk every morning. I'm too heavy to run right now, but the walking is feeling great. It's all uphill for the most part so it's quite the work out and I really feel it!

No, I'm not measuring. But I have been lazy so I know I packed on some pounds, just didn't expect it to be 10-15!!! I only have 2 pairs of work pants that fit and had to buy the next size up on jeans because none of mine fit. I stopped by a friend's house after work and we decided we were going to start our own weight loss group. Not a challenge because we don't want any loser, just something to help keep each other accountable and to be able to encourage each other and share our struggles and our triumphs. I even told her we should meet up and walk/jog her neighborhood. We both need some extra motivation.

I hate scales. I weighed myself at home this weekend and technically only lost 5 pounds according to it but by measurements, I've lost much much more inches. Scales are evil.
