Yess!
It's only Wednesday and I'm already back down to my low. Maybe I really will burst through to a new low this week, which will be such an amazing feeling! Especially after I had an indulgence weekend, lol.
I have defiantly found a rhythm that my body likes and works well with. I don't think my body needs an indulgence/spike day every week but once every month seems to work wonders for me. I have been trying to stay under 1600 calories a day except on days that I go to the gym. On those days I try to eat a little more just so my body has more energy to do a good hard workout. And this all seems to be working, so I'm going to stick to it for now, until my body needs a change, then I'll find something else that works.
I was kinda getting upset with my results a little while ago, getting discouraged because I thought I wasn't losing fast enough. I was sad because when I looked at my weight history I realized that I had only dropped about 10 pounds in a month or so, and I thought I should be losing more than that.
So I started looking and paying more attention to everyone else's weight history and I noticed that everyone's weight fluctuates up and down just the same as mine has. I then started to realize that 10 pounds in 1 month means that I have dropped a little over 2 pounds a week, which means I will roughly lose 120 pounds in a year (if I continue on the same weight lose path). When I stopped to think about it that way I realized that I was right on track and I should stop doubting myself. I didn't gain it all over night and it's not going to come off over night, it's going to take a lot of very hard work and determination!!
So I have now stopped paying so much attention to my weight history and I'm trying to just focus on the here and now, so to say. After all, the work I do today will be the results I see tomorrow!
