Not really sure what to say these days. So it has been 4 months since my last post and nothing much has changed. South Beach did not work for me...again. For the past 4 months I have maintained the roller coaster of down a few pounds one week, up a few pounds the next. It has gotten to be very depressing.
Life has gotten in the way is one excuse. Between soccer, gymnastics, scouts, karate, work, family, there has not been much time for working out. I am going to go back to the main excuse I have these days though, I am depressed and unmotivated to do anything. I would much rather just curl up on the couch and not move.
Now that the excuses are out there, let's move on.
The last few weeks have been somewhat better. I did the advocare 24 day challenge. I had 3 weeks consecutive weight loss! That is the first time in a long time that has happened. I was starting to get up in the morning and work out although I still wasn't making it to the gym much. This past week I got sick though and the 24 day challenge ended. I didn't think I ate all that bad but my water intake decreased and I was not getting up and working out. I gained again! I am trying not to beat myself up to much over that but it is hard to see the old trend return. All I can picture is the 9.8lbs I lost during the challenge coming right back on. Heck, 1.8 already did. It won't be hard for the rest to join them.
So now to lay out my goals for this week:
1) Drink my water each day and log it on my app
2) Continue to record my intake of food on MFP
3) Hit my 10, 000 steps and 6 stairs on my fitbit daily.
4) Workout at least 4 times this week with at least 2 of them being at the gym.
5) Update the blog at the end of the week.
Here's to a positive week with pound losses and emotional gains!
