Well, I weighed in today and I was hoping for another great week but I knew in my heart that was not going to happen. There was only one or two days that I slightly went over my calorie intake for the day, and I thought that I would still be okay since I was still thousands of calories less than I used to consume. I cannot think that way though, because I allow myself to enable myself to eat more.
I did not feel the greatest this week and I had alot less activity as well. I still boxed a few times this past week and went on many walks, but it was just not enough to offset those extra calories I was intaking. I think my biggest problem was that we went out to eat too many times. last week when I had a big loss, we had only done our friday night pizza. This week, we went out for BBQ one night, we went out on friday instead of pizza, and I had Jimmy Johns for lunch and Saturday we went out for lunch since we were out of town. NOW I must say that I am somewhat still proud of myself though because I chose what I thought to be the most healthy things on the menu, and I did not finish any of them, or keep the leftovers. In addition to that, even though I did not want to, I still tracked everything. In my tracking, it put me less than what I needed for the day, but I assume that there were still things like fat grams that set me over as I was not able to track those, or how the food was completely prepared. I also became very full on those meals and didnt eat much the rest of the day, which is unlike my usual eating of small meals all day long.
So when I weighed in this morning I was +0.7lbs. I suppose that it is good that with all that had happened this week I didnt even gain 1 lb. Close, but ... Anyways.
I am going to just pick up my spirits and think to myself this is a new week, I KNOW where I went wrong and I am going to avoid that... I also asked David to PLEASE help to prevent that from happening. Such as putting ourselves in situations in which we have to go out to eat because we are away from home. If we do, we will pack a lunch like we do most of the time and have a picnic.
I still feel very dizzy today, but I am not going to let that stop me from doing my best.

You know every week is a challenge, I am not sure I will ever feel like a winner in this race :( But I think that the main thing is remember is staying honest about it all the time and just keepin it real to you because that is the one person this journey affects the most :) Keep it up! You can and will do it <3
