I feel like a failure when it comes to losing weight. I gained a pound. I did pretty well with the diet. I resisted temptation at the Cheesecake Factory on Saturday. But when my husband had to go away on business Monday through Thursday, I didn't do as well. I definitely ate emotionally. I even recognized I was doing it at the time. I didn't care enough to stop at the time. Maybe this 1 pound gain will help remind me that it does matter next time I'm tempted.
I also battled a cold this week. I did workout but I gave myself permission to take it easy. I've read that you can continue working out when sick if symptoms are from the neck up.
Here's what I did:
Friday-rest
Saturday- elliptical 45 minutes
Sunday-rest
Monday-elliptical 45 minutes
Tuesday-Circuit training for 28 minutes (That is the only free time I had to go to the gym due to school delays but regular preschool pickup time.)
Wednesday-elliptical 60 minutes
Thursday-rest
So I vow to track my calories better and workout more intensely next week. I need some inspiration. I think I need to print that photo my husband took of me bowling. I'm glad he likes my tush but I don't. That probably will do it.
How'd you do this week?

I sucked this week too. After losing 11 lbs in the first couple of weeks, I gained 1 lb last week. AND IT SUCKS!!! But I'm starting the week over and this week I know I need to lose AT LEAST 2 lbs. Then I'll be back on track. Good luck, and keep up the spirits. I know it's very daunting. I've been very down this week, and I know it's because of the diet. I wish I was one of those people that never had to worry about those things.

Let it go! Mistakes will happen, mishaps will happen, hormones will come at us with big ugly fangs. Let it go, carry on, and remind yourself that you are WORTH all things healthy and worth taking time for exercise!
Just don't quit!!! :)
And, measurements are a better gage for progress, scales fluctuate too much.
