Downward slope..


Do you ever feel like your on a downward slope? Like nothing ever goes right? Things keep getting worst instead of better? Two weeks ago, when I weighed in I only lost 0.4 of a pound. I was extremely frustrated because I had done everyting I was supposed to. I followed my diet strictly and exercised alot! But I didn't see the results that week. I'm used to losing about 2 lbs a week. I calmed myself down and told myself I was just at a plateau. The next week I weighed in and had lost 2.4 lbs. That was the week of christmas so I was ecstatic!! This past week when I weighed in I was devestated. First of all, I had followed my diet strictly as I always do and I exercised EVERYDAY! I only lost 1.8 lbs. I cried and cried. I was so upset because I had hoped to get down to 189 this week and I weighed in at 190.4. I had made sure I did my biggest loser video everyday because if you do it 7x a week you're supposed to lose 5lbs. And it usually gets results. But not this week. The crazy things was I had lost MORE the previous week when I exercised less. *sigh* I was so upset and a friend kinda yelled at me. But I deserved it! I am doing great! I have lost 30 lbs. And as she made me repeat that I weigh 190 over and over, I felt a little better. She asked me, "how long has it been since you have been under 200?" I said 4 years and she asked "how much have you lost?" I said 30 lbs. She made me say "30lbs i've lost 30 lbs". So after my little pep talk I felt a little better. Its so hard to be proud of yourself sometimes, especially when you expect big results. Or someone you know doesn't workout or follow the diet half the time loses 10 lbs in a week. I guess I shouldn't compare my weightloss to others because everybody's weightloss journey is different. So this week I've decided to try my Hydroxycut again. This is how i lost 80 lbs in 2 months a few years ago. It's not the same formula because at that time it had ephedra in it. Doubt it will work now but it's worth a try.

So speaking of that downward slope...Last night a gallon pitcher of tea fell out of the fridge and spilt all over my kitchen floor. Then this morning as I was making my oatmeal, a spilled my 2/3 cup of milk on the floor. *sigh* I'm having one of those days!

On a brighter note we're supposed to be getting lots of snow tonight!!
