I don't know how to say it. I got on the scale this morning and saw I'm up 2 pounds from last week... a number of things went through my mind. 1) Theres no way I gained 2 whole pounds. 2) Maybe its water weight? 3) Maybe its the breast milk still in me? 4) Maybe last week was a lie? And I didn't really lose?.... and so on... I've come to the conclusion the scale is against me. just kidding. I really don't know what happened, but I know its unacceptable. And its enough to make me get up off my butt and really start working on a few things instead of just (excuse me...but) half-assing my weight loss goals.
Sure. I have excuses...
Sure. I have my kids...
Sure. I have a newborn even...
Sure. I have so many other things I want to do and can't find the time....
Sure. I have my responsibilities and my priorities....
Hm... Priorities. (echo echo echo) ........................ And there it is. Weight loss has been a desire and a dream but not on my list of REAL priorities lately. If only the pounds would disappear simply because I wished hard enough.
Weight loss by itself is a hard thing to stay focused on. But throw in kids and all the changes our family has been through in the last 6 months and my mind is spinning. I know its not easy... but I know that its possible. And thats all I really need to know. Its possible.
So, instead of making just 'better' choices next week... I'm going to make the BEST choices. My goal is to eat 3 vegetables a day (of the non starchy variety). That will help me with snacks. I used to drink buckets of water with lime in it while I was pregnant... I need to start drinking more again. I'm going to give that to go next week and see if I can see progress. Maybe I'll get lucky and the scale was just showing some water weight today? :) Wish me luck!
