FLATLINED!!!

Well I flatlined this week on weight loss.  For the first time since I started in February, I didn't lose ANY weight. No Loss but also No Gain. 
 
I was afraid this would happen. I have had a sore knee and foot for the last couple of weeks and for the last week I've had a bad head cold. So my workouts have been sub-par to say the least. Also, I have to admit to eating a little more than I should've. A couple of days I kinda cheated and nobody knows about it. I'm keeping that under my hat!
 
I thought I would still have a pound or two, but I learned my lesson. I'm on a roll and don't want to lose momentum. I asked my trainer to wor me out harder today than normal since workouts for the past week have been slow. Boy did she! We did a full hour in the pool. I am pretty beat today, but I feel good too.
 
I have a 15 year high school reunion tomorrow night that I'm dreading, but I plan to be very good with my eating. I was hoping to be skinny by now but I will definitely be by the 20th.
 
OK, I'll quit rambling. Have a good day everyone.

Hang in there!

As others recently pointed out to me, anything (even maintaining) is better than a gain. Because you know what behaviors cost you the loss, you'll have no trouble getting back on track.
 
Have fun at the reunion!

Better than a gain...

To maintain is better than to gain, for sure. 
 
I always get back on task by knowing my body tells all truths.
I can't secret eat or skip exercise without my body telling the tales - weight wise.
 
Enjoy the reunion!

Dreading the reunion because of the food involved, or the classmates that will be there?
 
I went to my 10-yr and hated every minute of it.  Everyone was the same as in high school, too good for each other LOL!!  OK, hate may be a strong word, but let's just say I haven't gone to any more reunions (15,20,25, whatever they have maybe offered LOL!)
 
Keep up the great work:  I know you wanted a loss, but yes, a maintain is better than a gain....
