I was 100% on track for the first time in about a month and do you know what I was rewarded with?
A 1.1 lb. GAIN!
Isn’t it funny how that works? I have been feeling a little “off” the past couple of days…like my body is up to something. So, I’m guessing it’s water weight or something.
I had a lot of NSVs this week, so I’m not really worried about it. I started the Couch to 5K, I was significantly more active, and I only succumbed to emotional eating once. I am seeing progress!

It has been quite a while since I checked in with my 2015 goals—so I thought I would do that today since it’s the beginning of the month.
 Lose Weight | I’m down 10.2 lbs. since April. |
 Exercise Regularly | As of this last week I have been walking more and also started the Couch to 5K. |
 Be Present (unplugged) | I’m still working on this one, but I feel like I have made a little bit of progress. I try to pick up a book more often instead of my phone. |
 A Single Step (towards being a writer) | I am making progress. I am working on establishing a schedule and setting aside time to write. I have book plans. I’ve contacted an old professor for advice. I’m working on believing in myself. |
 Make New Friends | Hmmm… sort of. I’ll count new friends when I actually spend time with someone in person. So no, haven’t met this goal yet. |
 Budget | Ummm… Nope. |
 Purge | This past month, my biggest accomplishment was purging my tank top drawer. I sold almost all of them. I also attempted to sell some cookbooks, etc. but no luck. |
 Blog More | Most definitely. I’ve really been enjoying it, although sometimes sharing makes me feel insecure when I don’t get many comments. |
Read More  | I finished reading What You Can When You Can, and have started reading three more books. I should probably focus on one… |
 A Better Me | Since being diagnosed with PPD, I have made incredible strides. I’m certainly not perfect, but the therapy has helped and I’ve been doing a lot of emotional work and soul searching. |
Not too bad! Looks like I better get back on budget and start making some new friends—the year is half over!
Have a fantastic weekend!
How was your weigh in?
I really like the monthly goal check off. And how exciting to be 10 pounds LESS instead of more! I am just the exact same as April. Blah. Lol Better than the more part, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteGood attitude on not letting a gain bother you. They happen, even if your food plan should indicate otherwise.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your goals!! I't so rewarding to check things off lists!! Good job with your activity point this week!! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I bet that gain is all water weight from your increased activity; the same thing happened to me when I started adding more running. It's so frustrating and counterintuitive! You've accomplished a lot from your list--that's awesome!
