ouch
I thought you were supposed to LOSE weight when you get sick! How bad is it that I was kind of banking on that to jump start my diet? Well...lesson learned.
I gained 0.4 lbs, but my JCC said she's marking it down as "maintenance" since as a woman, we lose and gain ounces every second of the day. Sometimes I feel like she just blows me off as a "lifer" who's never going to reach my goal. But truthfully, I can't think of a way that she would be more helpful. If she yelled or chastized me, I would resent it and probably get angry. The positive reinforcement obviously isn't sinking in, and the "I know how you feel" attitude only gives me a reason to go off plan again. So she's probably just fed up with me.
She's also been a bit negative lately. When I first came back, we had this big conversation on how I was so motivated when I first joined, and where that feeling went. She said she had no idea how to get it back, and she's afraid she's going to live on JC meals for the rest of her life. Um...NOT a good way to sell the plan! But I guess they've got me! I already put so much money into JC, I'm not going to abandon it for another program (especially since I know it actually works, if I put the effort into it).
This week I feel better, and I WILL take advantage of the warmer weather to get outside and walk. Saturday AND Sunday. And I WILL stick to the food plan.
On a happy note, I've solved the too-much-chocolate-at-work problem. I got a new office that's nowhere NEAR the candy bowl. I have absolutely zero reason to go past it, which means I haven't even thought about it the entire week. Awesome!
Happy (hopefully warmer) weekend!
