I have literally kicked my own ass this week. Last night I was laying limp in a pool of my own sweat on the stretching mat and thinking about how hard I worked all week. A weeks worth of work to lose the 7 pounds I gained the 10 days previous. Totally not worth it. I have managed to lose all those pounds this week but I wish like hell they were "new" pounds. I'm going to remember this week when I'm making decisions about eating and drinking.
I'm proud of myself for what I've done this week but I have this underlying fear that I'm still working at it like there is an end to it. I'm hoping it will get easier as time goes on.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Yeah, sometimes it feels like I lose the same pound I just put on, and do it over and over again. We can win the war over our weight, it just may take us a little longer than we'd planned. Not quitting at the first sign of an "oops" is a big step in the right direction. At least that's what I'm telling myself every week.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it takes a big effort to break through that wall of complacency we all find ourselves behind from time to time.
ReplyDeleteIt does get easier... but that's when you push yourself even harder.
Congrats on getting off "old" weight.
whew, I am in awe by your ability to power through those 7lbs! You totally kicked ass!
ReplyDeleteGreat job dropping those pounds. I hate having to lose the same few over and over, what a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Awesome job! And I love that switching your exercise routine has helped both your physical and mental health since you are avoiding traffic. Woot!
ReplyDeleteYou are sweet to be cognizant of the extra work your hubby is picking up. Perhaps you can meal plan over the weekend or do some cooking in advance to reduce his workload. Many healthy recipes are freezer-friendly - then all he has to do is reheat and make a salad.
I stand in awe...working out every day is so.darn.hard. And yet you did it - awesome job! Congrats on losing the old pounds and good luck with getting off some fresh ones soon!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Frances and I've been lurking your blog for a few weeks now. (I've just hopped back on the wagon of my own WL journey)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to send you a big CONGRATULATIONS on losing those 7lbs. Keep up the great work and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you won't have to have another tough week like this.
You deserve that bruised booty for the hard work you put in this week. Congrats on that seven pounds - old or new pounts, IT'S SEVEN POUNDS!!
ReplyDeleteThat is friggin' amazing Tina!! Don't you dare take ANYthing away from your accomplishment this week! You just proved that you can do whatever you set your mind to. I am so impressed and proud of you. And on top of that, I think you are the only person that knows about Coffee Talk!! You, you are like buttah. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough job but you got it done anyway. Good for you. Chalk it up to another lesson learned.
ReplyDeleteKnow just what you mean about trying to comprehend that this is a lifetime deal and not just something until you get to a specific point. Almost like comprehending the universe for me.
I love your blog! I too wish I was losing "new" pounds, but the next 30 are defnitely old ones, being lost again. Blah.
