I am so guilty of this. When I start to see progress in my weight loss journey, my mind thinks it's okay to eat a little bit more until I see my weight increasing then I start to feel bad. But guess what, it's really okay.... it's okay to enjoy our favorite foods once in a while as long as we get back on track. So I am back on track today....tracking my food, 30-40mins cardio! Hope you all have a nice weekend!

I am so guilty of this. When I start to see progress in my weight loss journey, my mind thinks it's okay to eat a little bit more until I see my weight increasing then I start to feel bad. But guess what, it's really okay.... it's okay to enjoy our favorite foods once in a while as long as we get back on track. So I am back on track today....tracking my food, 30-40mins cardio! Hope you all have a nice weekend!
Note to self: Strive for progress not perfection.
That totally happens to me! Good to hear I'm not the only one.2 -

Week 1
8/1 - 163.8 what??!!????
8/2 - 164.6 I thought that 2lb drop was too much to stick around
8/3 - 164.2 had slacked off on exercise last week, back at it today
8/4 - 164.6
8/5 - 164.2
8/6 - 163.6
8/7 - 163.8 well, at least I didn't gain this week. This is when I really appreciate a weight trend app on my phone, so that I can see that overall my trend is down and I can {try to} ignore the up blips. TGIF!
Week 2
8/8 - 164.8
8/9 - 165.6 ????

8/13 - 164.0 #weightlossisnotlinear but the lows are getting lower, and the highs are not as high
8/14 - 163.8 ok, so the exact same as the end of last week. and 14 days ago I was thrilled to see this number...amazing how perspective changes lol
Week 3
8/15 - 162.4
8/16 - 164.4 that's what I get for being excited yesterday haha
8/17 - 166.4 yikes, that's a 4lb jump in 2 days. too many tortilla chips. I know it's salt and water retention, but that's not a nice number at all!
