I am normally not a blogger or a big journal writer, as much as I do love writing songs.. BUT I think putting my food anxiety and general thoughts down once a week couldn't hurt my journey.
My weigh in day is Friday(2mrw) and I am not sure what to expect. While I am a lifetime member and its only required to attend weigh in's once a month, I find that by attending on a weekly basis I stay on track, stay motivated, and gain knowledgable info from other members. Last week though, I skipped out on my weigh in and meeting. Yes I had gone on vacation the pervious week and treated myself to a selection of my favorite items that I can only get when I visit Home in CT, BUT I also worked out every day, tracked it all, and stayed within points. Being the type of person I am, not attending the weigh-in in has been biting me in the butt, because I've spent all this week feeling guilty. On top of feeling guilty I have been extremely homesick ( as I now live 1000 miles away from friends and family) and feeling negative about every aspect of my life, job, goals, body,friends... the list goes on..Its one of those weeks when I feel like if i just gave up and went back home everything would somehow be better and I'd be happier, fat and happy, right? not so much..
Anyway this week I made a big pot of meatless taco soup, and had it every day for lunch and it was delish. I LOVE to cook, yet it seems every time I make a low point recipe and eat the whole thing in a week I gain..even when its within my points..I don't get it! I also tracked everything, but caught myself eating after dinner and even sometimes right before bed, which was a habit I had been successful at breaking, until this week...I worked out 3 days with my trainer, the other 2 days I did 20 mins each on the treadmill, elliptical, and bike at the gym, and all days did 200 abs.
Physically I had a pretty crappy week also, felt bloated, headachy, and tired most of the week..yes it was that time, but I usually don't experience anything other them some light cramping. I am pretty sure this was a result of my life stress/homesickness.
All PMS aside, I feel like I did work hard this week, food and exercise wise. Yet, I just somehow think that between my vacation and random BLTS all week a gain is headed my way...yet tomorrow only the scale will tell, and I can stop feeling guilty once I face the facts. And the best part is, a new dawn, a new day, a new life FOR MEEE!
