30 Days For Me

FourLynne

I just hit the 30 day mark on MFP and I just weighed in for the week and was disappointed to see I was up .5lbs. Looking back this week has been very stressful, and I think I exercised only one day out of the week. I also got all the way to bedtime and realized I had not tracked anything except breakfast. I had compromised that maybe I would not track or worry about weight on the weekends and just do it during the week, but I know that is wrong. So, how will I turn this around for next week? I know .5lbs is nothing to cry about, but I don't want to get into the habit of gaining and losing the same 5lbs. I want to take this seriously and make a real change in my life. I think I just did and I feel more empowered. :-)

Minigoals for today:
Exercise
Drink Water
Track
Plan Dinner Meals for coming work week
Love Always

Know the feeling! Try not to be too hard on yourself. If you really want to do this it is going to have to be weekends too, I think.. I have the same problem. the first weekend I put in semi effort and saw such shoddy results that this weekend I have stuck to my limit and exercised more. I might sound like a right eejit but I have also made myself a 'visual' (I really want to lose this weight!!!!). I have a poster on my bedroom wall where I can cross of the pounds as I lose them. As I look at this progress in the morning or as i get changed to go out, it makes me make a mental note that I do not want to put back on what I have lost or put even more on so I have to toughen up! Lots of exercise next week may help you to feel better.

Hope it goes well for you.
