Crawling Back
Three weeks of just hiding out. And snacking. It started with one bad day and then simply steamrolled. Little to no exercise, other than the routine housework and grocery shopping. LOTS of unconscious and routine eating. But I've learned a few things:
1 - Meal Planning is essential
2 - MUST drink my water
3 - Exercise makes me feel good
4 - I am not a bad person, or a failure, because I had a few rough days
The last one is the most important. So I've fallen down, big deal. Failure is not getting back up. My sister thinks I could use some dietary counselling and maybe she's right. (oh wow - stop the world. Is it possible my sister is giving me sound advice?)
The worst part is I've regained the five pounds I lost. And two extra. Scary to realize I'm puting on about 2 pounds per week. Not surprising, cuz certain items of clothing are definitely tight. Like my bra. I'm really thinking of wearing my RenFaire bodice instead. Except, I may have put too much on for even THAT to fit.
Good thing is today I exercised and drank my water. I'm going to focus on the good things, and hope that leads to more good things.
