1. The first one is a biggie and a difficult one to put out there. I’ve gained 5 pounds in the last 3-4 weeks. Ouch. I’m thoroughly unhappy with myself, but I guess vacations and my birthday were bound to leave their mark. Now I have to find my way back to having positive motivation.
2. I have been pretty much snacking indiscriminately. It’s bad. What’s portion control again? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that.
3. I didn't go to weigh-in on Saturday. I don’t want it to become a habit, but I just really didn’t want to see how much I gained since the last time I was there…a month ago. I’m already down enough about having to pull out some bigger capris.
4. I have not been meal planning. Big mistake. Meal planning is much harder to do when on vacation, but I should at least be doing that at home. I’ve had great intentions, but I’ve failed miserably. Time to put on my thinking cap!
5. I have been over indulging in sweet things. Oh my. And now that I’m used to eating all these sugar-laden goodies, it’s hard to retrain my taste buds to be satisfied with less or even *gasp* without.
In conclusion, I’ve been a bad bad girl. Please tell me I’m not alone in my vacation-induced weight gain. Please?
LOL! You are so not alone! So not alone! I did the same thing and just wrote a post (which will be posted tomorrow) talking about how I need to get back on the weight loss horse. The good thing is that you realize you made a mistake and you are willing to get back on track. Every day is the first day of your new diet. If you messed up yesterday, it doesn't matter today. It's a new day. :)
ReplyDeletedefinitely not alone, Rachel! I know what I need to do, but I just don't do it.
ReplyDeleteNope. Not alone. I've been on this path for months and can't seem to find my way back... :(
