Regroup and FMM

Happy Monday!  HA!
Today was my new Day One. Not that I really need a Day One, I just think at this point I may as well go with the notion that I'm resetting myself.  As you know, I haven't been feeling so hot as of late.  I'm still not feeling 100% myself but need to give myself a little time with eating better to see if that will push me up to that 100% mark.  
When I got dressed yesterday, something happened that hasn't happened in a very, very long time.  My pants were a bit tight. That was enough to scare me right back on to the straight and narrow. I hopped on the scale this morning to see where I am at and I'm up about 8 pounds.  This is the real deal.  Not water. Not retention. Not too hot. Just plain old icky fat. 
Not going to start beating myself up.  Since I wasn't feeling too well, I wasn't eating too well. I went over board and when we went away, I continued to go a bit overboard. I'm not going to cry about it. I'm not going to dive into a package of Oreos or have a hot fudge sundae over it.  I'm going to build a bridge and get over it. 
So, for my Day One:
Calories were around 1900. A little more than what I would like to see but I'm still within reason for my height/weight.   This was more of a planning error than an "I wanted to eat more so I did", sort of error.  My blood sugar plummeted and once that happens, it's very difficult to get regulated again. It's done and over with. Moving on. 
 I drank more water than I have been in the last month or so. And have had more fruit. Sadly, not so good with the veggies but am planning a big, huge salad for tomorrow's lunch.

6.  Gotten a hickey? Unfortunately so.

  1. Hi Jenn! Well, I did a lot of 3 steps forward and 1 step back for weight loss. That's not such a bad thing as long as you start going forward again. Renew your good habits and just keep going. If you have the right attitude--then you've got this. :D
