Great news!! I upped the ante last week to get over a hellish plateau that I have been stuck at…and it worked! I tightened up my diet and did 2 a day work outs!! I lost 2 lbs. I am down to 167. Here’s the tricky part, coming off of that awesome week, I am now traveling for the next 2 weeks for work. I am living out of a hotel room. I tried to prepare as best as possible by bringing lots of fruit and healthy snack options with me. I’ve been here 2 days and so far so good. Both nights I have spent over an hour working out in the hotel gym and I’ve been eating pretty well. Last night I ate a protein bar for dinner because I wasn’t very hungry after the long drive. I ordered Chili’s To Go and ate steak with vegetables!
It’s definitely hard to be away from my husband and kids, but I want to prove that traveling and eating out is not detrimental to my weight loss journey. I refuse to let my emotions get in the way. I am excited to see if I knock it out of the park by completely changing everything or if I get stuck on another plateau.
Work is pretty intense so I destressed with some retail therapy this evening. I was brave and tried on swimsuits. I didn’t end up buying any, but I did buy lots of other cute summer clothes in a size Medium, and even a SMALL!! Yes, I said the S word. Also, for anyone who knows me well, I am not a shorts person. I usually wear capris in the summer. The only time I wear shorts is around the house or to go swimming. I found a really cute pair of denim shorts in a size 10, so I bought them!!! I’m very excited that my body is changing and it definitely shows in the clothes that I’m buying.
I keep reiterating that this is a process, a journey, not anything to be rushed…and this week just reinforces that. All the hard work that I’ve put in is paying off. Some weeks are harder than others, but when I look at the progress I’ve made it makes me feel proud for never giving up. I will continue to push through any struggles and rejoice in the victories!!! Half way there!! Keep up the awesome work, everyone!!
