Successes/struggles this week. I am terribly discouraged. All I had to do this week was lose .6 pounds to meet my goal of a 6 pound loss. I GAINED! In all honesty, I did go a little off the rails last Saturday and Sunday, but normally I can do that, do right the next 5 days and recover… well not this week. But, I’m not going to let this setback make me angry to where I throw in the towel and eat everything in sight. I’m going to believe it is just weight fluctuation and get myself ready for the December Challenge. I will NOT let this setback allow me to create another setback.
