Ok so this is a little bit embarrassing but I don't like to be a whiner. I did not lose 5lbs. I lost only 2lbs. It is my own fault. I went into this to laxy dazy. I was not consistent and because of that I would drop like 3 pounds in a week and then gain 2 back over the weekend. I didn't track my food everyday, only somedays. Which we all know is not a real day of the week. I have been trying a couple of different things...tracking in my phone using an app, blogging food and writing in all down in a book. I have to say after finding an old food journal, I think I get most into the book. I am heading to staples today to get a new little notebook to make me get "in the mood" to food journal.
This was not a total loss. I still lost 2 pounds and I figured out what is not working. Not keeping track of how many cheat meals I had is not working. Saying I will go to the gym sometime today is not working. Sometime is not a time on the clock either. Coming home and doing my usual routine of planting myself on the couch for the rest of the night is not working. Some nights sure but every night NO!
Just keep reminding myself progress not perfection. I also want to look more into this connection with food and eating to emotions. Picking up a book by Geneen Roth later this week. I will share my thoughts.
