The stess of it all.....

Ok, so I am struggling with this week…..the weight is at a stand still. I know that sounds pathetic when each of the last 2 week I have dropped 3 pounds each….but! My food choices this week have perhaps not been the smartest ok they were down right dumb, but I have stayed within my point range. I have also been working out. In fact last night I went for a 1 mile bike ride and also did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video. This is a 20 minute, cardio, strength and abs workout. Oh yeah I worked on abs on my break yesterday also…..

But here is the problem…..my weight hasn’t moved all week. I know it is only the 3rd day and that I am not supposed to be paying attention to my daily checks because they really don’t matter…..but it is so hard. I am wondering if I need to be adjusting my points. I will do that today next week after my weigh in.

These are the struggles. I have wish I knew the answers.

I know that everyone has ups and downs when they lose weight. Why is that do you suppose? You would think if we are losing weight we would feel good about ourselves, right? But as true as that is…it is also false.

For instance today……one of my co-workers (bless her heart) has been a huge support for me! She always seems to know when I am having a tough day. Not that she comments about how my day is going or anything like that….but she always sends a compliment my way. That is weird for me….to accept compliments. And in fact, I find myself trying to cover up…so that I don’t get them…WEIRD I KNOW! I didn’t exactly realize this until that coworker made a comment and also made it to another and that other worker commented that it has been hard to tell the loss because of how baggy I had been wearing my clothes. Well for 1 I am too darn cheap to go out buying all new clothes for each step of the way. But also…it is sucky completely odd to have people commenting complimenting me.
