This week was a bit
discouraging, I can’t deny it! I GAINED FOUR pounds! I couldn’t figure out how
this happened! Well, I know how SOME of it happened, but not FOUR pounds
worth! Last Sunday, we attended our
friend’s baby’s birthday party, which was filled with hot dogs, burgers,
cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, chips, and all the fatty goods, and I went
to town on the cupcakes and hot dogs! I thought “I’m doing so great, cheating
one meal is not going to hurt me”. Boy, was I wrong! I didn’t even know my
stomach could hold as much food as I ate! I had THREE cupcakes, two hot dogs
w/white buns, way too many potato chips, and whatever sugar filled drink they
were serving!
The next morning, I stepped on the scale and weighed 185!! I
felt so guilty, I decided that all this week I was going to do two a day
workouts! Tuesday, Mother Nature came calling, and I felt crappy and bloated.
Come Wednesday, I weighed myself again, and weighed almost 187! I couldn’t
believe this! I had been busting my butt the past two days and gained two more
pounds!!
I vented to Hannah, because I couldn’t figure out WHAT was
going on! She almost immediately asked me if I had received my monthly gift, to
which, I replied “YES!” She then told me that she gains about five pounds
temporarily when she starts too, so this made me feel a tad better, but still
couldn’t believe that I was retaining all of that water. Then I checked MyFitnessPal,
which I’ve been using to count calories. I did a glance back at my nutrition
for the week and found that I was eating A TON OF SODIUM, which also makes you
retain water. Today, I am back down to 184, 1.8 lbs MORE than last week, but I
am still enjoying my monthly gift, and am hoping that next week will be a huge
success!
I did have one
victory this week: I had yet another pair of pants I haven’t been able to wear
in years button up! (Capris). They are size 11 and I am very happy about this!
Since I started losing weight, about six months ago, I have gone from a size
15\16 to an 11\12.
My tips for the week:
watch your sodium/salt intake!
Remember it doesn’t happen over night
When you fall off the wagon one day, it doesn’t mean it’s
over!
