Not a great week. Snow and ice hit last week and I ended up with 3 days of no school due to snow and ice and no power in a ton of the schools. Three days home with my kids resulted in lots of snacking and no exercising (except for shoveling snow).
My parents had no power for a few days and we had them over. Instead of cooking, we ordered Chinese food. Haven't had it in a while, and it was so good! I didn't feel like I ate a lot of it but it kicked me in the butt and I put on close to 5lbs in just a few days. I really feel like the Chinese (and that special time of the month) led me to retain a TON of water. My socks dug into my legs and left indentation marks like when I was pregnant. I've been slugging water ever since, but couldn't fix it completely by today. For the first time, this challenge, I had a gain. So frustrating, but whatevs, it happens :)
Here are my weekly numbers:
Starting weight.................................187.2
Challenge starting weight...............183.0
Last week......................................... 180.8
This week..........................................181.6
Loss.....................................................+0.8
Challenge loss.......................................1.4
Total loss...............................................5.6
I know it is frustrating to have a gain, been there done that this week, but we need to put that behind us and look ahead.
ReplyDeleteMy week wasn't Chinese food, though I wish it was. It was birthday cake and Ponderosa and also that lovely time of the month.
Next week will be better. Positive thinking.
