I’m like a turtle, but that’s OK :)

So, I have 2 pounds down this week! I gained those 4 pounds last month ^[1]. I didn’t lose any weight since that (three weeks ago) UNTIL this week. One to two pounds a week is a healthy loss, but in my case it’s like .5 pounds a week and then it all happens at once! Either way, I’m fine with it!

You know, it got me thinking. If I would have given up, I know for sure I would have gained MORE than the 4 pounds I was trying to get back off. It is so easy to get super emotional over a weight gain! Especially since I have been trying for what seems like forever to rid these last few pounds!

This is a result of MY perseverance. My weight is going DOWN! I’m NOT going to give up!

I shouldn’t admit this, especially during a week with an actual loss, but I didn’t exercise. Well, unless you count the miles I know I walked on Monday and Tuesday ^[2]. But, real hard-core I’mgonnasweatandnotlookpretty kinda exercise, I did not get to. Hubs was traveling so I couldn’t get to my 6a routine. I could have used the treadmill, but I just decided not to. It’s all about choices. Hopefully I’m not paying on the scales next week for the choice of NOT exercising this week.

So, no exercise and add in the holidays…am I setting myself up for a gain? I mean, the holidays are always a challenging time for eating. I haven’t planned how well I will behave. It will probably be good though since we aren’t planning any big celebrations. I think I will just focus on moderation.

What about you?

Any plans for the holidays to ensure you stay on track? How was your week of exercise and weight results? I can’t wait to hear about your week! I’m always happy with my progress but just as excited when you have good results too!!
