Thank you to all of you who have been such a support to me. Your comments to last week's post really helped keep me motivated throughout the week to make sure I don't beat myself up over a gain. You were all right, it was water weight. I lost 5 pounds this week!
This means I lost the 3 pound gain plus an extra 2 pounds. I'm going to say that the 3 pounds was really water weight and the extra 2 pound loss was hard work. It seems like a more realistic way to view things. I am hoping to lose 1-2 pounds next week.
Over the course of the last week I did that whole 6-day workout regimen and then on Sunday we helped a friend move. The move was sooooo hard! We were moving all her stuff into a storage facility and her storage section was on the second floor. Imagine filling up 3 cars and taking them all to the storage place, unpacking all 3 cars in and around an elevator, then taking everything out of the elevator and down a hallway that's as long as half a football field, at least. Now imagine doing that 3 times in one day. Can we say "U-Haul"? Helloooooooooo!
Mike and I were the only truly healthy people of the group (there was our friend who has endometriosis among other health problems, Mike's dad who recently had a heart attack, and his mom who's relatively healthy but older so we didn't want to strain her too much) so we had to do most of the heavy work. By the time we got home around 5pm we jumped into bed and just watched TV together the rest of the night.
Tonight I'm going to join the same friend to see Ingrid Michaelson. She had an extra ticket and can't go alone. I'm familiar with her music. She kind of reminds me of Lisa Loeb.

WAHOO!
Awesome on the 5 pound loss!! And way to go on your working out so much. Keep it up!
Haha, I'm so glad to hear your WI was so awesome this week. You deserved it after that scare from last week. I just knew it had to be fake weight. Sounds like you got a good amount of unintentional exercise as well as the videos what with helping your friend move. Nothing like doing a good deed to make you feel good about yourself too! Congrats on your loss!
Five pounds is five pounds...I don't care if it's water or what...you lost it! Woohoo!
Ya, it's soooooo hard to maintain and sooooo easy to fall back into the old habits. But we can do it, we have done it...it's just a forever thing for us.
I knew it! I knew it!!! Gosh this made my night! I knew it was nothing to worry about and guess what it wasnt!!! WOOOHOOO!! You did awesome and im proud of you!
Congrats on the awesome weight loss this week!! I know this road of weight loss and maintaining is long and hard at times, but I know you'll get back down to your goal weight and look awesome for the wedding. I hope your plans are going well!!
