Hi guys,
Sorry I've not been around much, that's all going to change this week.
The bad news - I put on another 2.5 lbs, sigh.
The good news - I got the job!!!!!!!!!
So although I've had a rough two weeks weight-wise, I do know exactly why I've put on weight. I have been eating toast with butter, pizza, all that kind of food. I had to work so hard for the last month to get this promotion, and every weekend has gone on prep. I managed to keep going with my healthy eating for most of the month, but the last week has been terrible.
I'm not too cross with myself - the 4.5 lb is obviously not good, but I wanted this promotion so much, I wanted the money to be honest with you. So while it's horrible to see the scales rise, this is not a regular occurrence like holidays and Christmas, this was a bit of a one off.
I'm pleased that I weigh in no matter what, though. No lies, no deception, no hiding away from myself.
Plan for today - I'm going to sit quietly in Cafe Nero with a coffee and think about the week coming up, prepare and plan, and get my head back in the groove. Weight loss remains my most important goal, 100%. It's just that this promotion gives me long term security and extra income, which can go towards things in the future like gyms or surgery if necessary. So I wish I had managed to eat well for the last week and a half, but I just didn't most of the time. But now I'm drawing a line under it and moving on.
Well done to everyone who's weighed in already, regardless of the outcome - weekly weighing is definitely the key, you know! And good luck to those yet to announce their results...
