This past weekend was the biggest event I work all year and today it shows. I woke up at noon today and still feel like death warmed over and know I can't look all that much better. I stayed with my parents from Wednesday through Sunday to minimize travel time and expense and was still so exhausted by the end of each day that even taking a shower was a chore. I thought with so much occupying my time I would be able to track on WW and stay within my daily points range easily. Nope. I don't remember what I ate that could result in a 2.5 lb. weight gain but apparently I ate enough. *sigh* I'm disappointed in myself but I'm back to tracking religiously after only failing to do so for 5 days; It's better than the 3 months it took to get back on track last time!
A motivation given recently by Mom and Kayla was they noticed the weight I've lost so far (about 15 lbs.) seems to have come from my belly (yes!!) and my jeans are fitting better in the waist area. I need to keep thinking how that praise made me feel instead of constantly wondering if I'll just be fat for the rest of my life, which is only depressing. On the plus side Shane has Tai Chi tonight and while he's in class I've started going to the gym I'm paying for every month. Not a bad idea huh? When I get there around 7pm most of the ladies are almost done or leaving and by the time I'm done I'm the only one in the gym, its like my own private gym, otherwise perfect for someone super self-conscious like me.
Here's to another of my many new beginnings, may this one last longer than the previous one!
