All of our visualizing last week worked; but then we stopped, and I bounced back up to 154 and stuck there like glue. Every day it's the same thing. I really expected to go down because I exercised a lot this weekend and didn't eat out. But, no.
This week I've not exercised per the doctor's orders but I have been on plan except for some salty foods I just had to have yesterday. I was really bummed yesterday afternoon after my chiropractic adjustment and not feeling up to being Super Fitness Woman. The adjustments are causing me a lot of pain and it just wears a girl down, ya know?
I think I may have found the cause of my mini-plateau this week, however. This morning as I was driving to work I was listening to my new live Crowded House reunion CD and was so overwhelmed by how much I love Crowded House that I teared up. Well . . . that can only mean one thing: TOM is imminent. I mean, I do love some catchy pop music, but not to the point of blubbering, for Pete's sake!
Since I have PCOS and am now off the Pill, I have no idea when ToM will be. It just comes when if feels like it. Sometimes I have bloating and cramps, but no flow. It's all totally unpredictable. I'm hoping that's the cause of my holding on to the weight the last few days, however.
Gotta work now! Have a great day!

Oops
Sorry you've bounced back up and are crying over a pop group. It is kinda funny though--like it's funny that I just ate half a goopey chocolate pudding. Okay, so it was a two serving size and half is what I was meant to eat. It still had 521calories and 23.5 grams of fat--13 of them saturated fat. Why did I do it? Why? Why? Was it the old defiance again? Like from the bad old days? I just know that I felt a truly naughty elation while it was heating in the microwave and with the first gloppy disgusting spoonful. Each subsequent was more sickly and guilt-laden. And yet I ate the whole thing!
All you can do is laugh and hope for a better tomorrow!
I bet it's just your body trying to heal itself that's making your weight stand still. Stress isn't good for weightloss.
I'm sorry but I chuckled about blubbering to Crowded House. :) Sounds like TOM is emminent. It's amazing to me how much the pill corrected my emotions. I didn't realize how bad I was until I started the pill. I hope you feel better. :)

Hey Now!
While I have complete sympathy for your probably hormonal state, my poor brain kept flipping between, they're not worth your tears, and humming "Don't Dream It's Over".
I really think these sizes had to be based on man sizing more than vanity, because the small was for waists 32-34, and I remember being a 29 in grade 7. And on my last shopping trip I had to laugh because some woman was disgusted at the size 0 at the Gap muttering something about nobody wearing that size anyway. Well, I actually work with some women that do wear a 0-2, and they just happen to be slight (I like to think of it as kind genetics and they do not get my sympathies at all!). Oh, and in my head I'm blaming the small sizing also on the stretchy material
I didn't used to have free time at work for reading. Up until this year most days were spent working 12 hours straight and being forced to grab lunch on the fly. I'm really taking in this slower pace and appreciating it for as long as it lasts. I have a feeling it will only be for the year, and then after that someone with more senority will bump me out of here, and I'll be back to the break-neck pace again. I'm sure Amazon will miss me and my orders when that time comes.
