Today is the start of week 6 at U Weight Loss. I feel as though I have put my best foot forward with this process and I'm really enjoying it - the food it great, coaching is excellent and I love the exercise. But today was a kick in the butt! I marched myself into the clinic around noon to be weighed and to plan some meals for the rest of the week - I got on the scale and...... + 1.75lbs! I was so discouraged! How could this be? I've been doing everything by the book. "This is going to happen" Shellene said. " Celebrate that you're doing everything right - eating and exercise", "...you're building lean body mass...". And although I understood and believed what she was saying, the old me was telling me to eat my emotions away, be cranky and stressed out about this weight gain. Unfortunately this is what happened...to an extent. I didn't eat anything bad but I was so stressed and in a bad mood. I went home after work and had a nap. Sure I watched the Oscars last night but did I really need a nap? No Way! Luckily when I woke up I had a bit of an epiphany and consciously understood what had just happened. And I feel so much better that I'm sharing this story. The next time this happens, my plan is to take a deep breath, have some green tea and understand that there are going to be those times where my weight does bounce back. We all need to take those in stride just don't let them set you back and keep pushing... Celebrate what you're doing right!
