Whether you want to lose 10 pounds, 20 pounds or 100 pounds – it always helps to have support from those around you. Goal – lose 20 pounds
Pounds Lost (Week 4) – Down .5 pounds - 13.5 total...How it Went This Week:
This week has had it's up's and down's - no, not on the scale, just in life. The scale barely moved, but it is THAT week of the month. So, again, I'll be patient. But let me tell you - it'd better MOVE this week!
I discovered that I do want to eat to compensate for hurt feelings. I don't think I realized this about myself. There was an event this week that really hurt my feelings and I totally wanted to go out to eat somewhere and really overindulge. I was surprised to have that reaction. I was proud of myself for staying the course and not overeating, but the next day we all went out for pizza. Yep, I had some. Sigh.
Five miles didn't happen. I got in about 3.5 miles though, so I was close. I'm eating less than my 1200 calorie goal typically, so barring my pizza indiscretion the weight should be moving.
What’s my Plan for nexty Week:
We start school this week. It'll be an adjustment week for all of us, so I'm not going to make any grandiose plans.
I do want to go to TKD twice this week. We didn't last week. My older son broke his foot. He and his brother and I go to TKD. It's hard to go without him. He loves TKD so I feel bad being there and learning when he's not. Silly, I know, but what can I say? Must look past that and keep moving forward as we love TKD too. He'll be back in action in a month.
How's your week going?
Don't beat yourself up about the pizza. It's OK. I have a slice of pizza almost every week. I think you're doing great. (and I am an emotional eater so I can relate!)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you have identified yourself as an emotional eater is a positive step. And you still manged to lose some weight, so well done you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! I was really surprised how intense the desire to use food to feel better was. Pizza did taste good! :-)
