Up a pound, well that's absolutely ridonkulous! However, I'm going to accept this as the perfect opportunity to set a great example for other 'losers' who might not be as far along in their journey as I am, sometimes the scale just sucks! I look back on my last five days of intake, all spot on perfect. Look back at my exercise history, also perfect. Because of those reasons I know that there is no way humanly possible that I have put on a pound of fat (which would require an extra 3500 calories on top of the calories I need to sustain life). So what is it??? It's water. I have stepped up a workout or two, and because my muscles are repairing and toning they are holding a lot of H20. (Other reasons could be the time of the month, illness, high carb intake, or because the gods are unhappy with you) All of January I ate mindlessly with minimal workouts and managed to lose eight pounds. One week into a perfectly executed diet and exercise plan and I'm up a pound, this is where lots of people like to jump off the bandwagon, don't. When you are doing everything right, a loss is sure to follow, it just takes it's good old time. Remember this when you're feeling down and frustrated after a good week with a crappy weigh in, this WILL happen to you at some point, probably at many points. Keep that chin up!
I hope you all learned something from this lol.
So I got my taxes done yesterday, my tax lady immediately noticed my loss! I was pretty excited, I see this woman once a year so I was very flattered she would remember me. I was surprised when she engaged in asking me how I've done it and shared some of her own struggles with me. I would NEVER start spitting weight loss advice to anyone without them asking me, especially to someone who was overweight. I don't want to be rude. One of the first things she said was "well you're so young you can get that metabolism up". I let her have that one, I wasn't going to argue. It might be easier when you're younger, but any age can lose weight. So that was interesting, I thought. A new experience for me, that's for sure.
Today is the big day, and by big day I mean mostly busy and exhausting lol. I have to go valentine/grocery shopping after I drop my son off at preschool. Going to get a couple little things for the kids and something for my husband. Also, steaks for tonight. I've decided on steak because it's much healthier than the 'lets order pizza' alternative, and that god&^@% scale is going to move whether it wants to or not. After shopping I will sprint home and eat something, then sprint to the gym, then sprint to work. Work until seven thirty, come home, make dinner, clean up, pass out lol. How romantic, I know, I can't help myself.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day, however you decide to spend it. Stay optimistic, love yourselves, BE KIND to yourselves, and know that you are important, especially to some crazy girl in Ohio that Journals about nothing every day.
Happy Friday!
