Weight Loss Week 11 Update

WORST. WEEK. EVER.

well, not EVER as in ever, but ever as in the 11 weeks I've been working these goals.

I didn't exercise at all.  ZERO, not even once... Thankfully, it was a variety of reasons and not that I didn't want to work out.  I actually missed it, and even more missed my Lydie!!  Ruby was sick all week (and is still sick as I type this) so there went any time at the gym during the day.  My sister came for a few days and I spent that time helping with last minute wedding stuff as well as spoiling my sister. ;)  My husband worked 3 extra evenings and then Friday we celebrated his birthday, so any time I could've gone in the evening without the kids was out as well.

I'm not really frustrated with the not working out thing, because it was all outside influences, not my personal motivation that prevented it.  What I am VERY upset about is my eating!

My eating has been 98% super since I started 11 weeks ago.  Healthier foods, smaller portions, and timed eating has been my regime every day.  In January we ate out ZERO times.  In February we ate out ONCE (Valentine's Day).  Last week alone I ate out 5 times, 4 of those being fast food (BLECH!!).  I was horrified last night when I was counting my meals out this week.  Horrible, Horrible, Awful eating!!!!

I will be the first to admit that fast food is a weakness for me.  I'm not sure why.  I've experimented before (while on WW) and after 2 weeks with zero fast food, and then having fast food one time (even something as little as a small fry), I immediately feel sick!  It's a thick, greasy, sludgy feeling in my body!  But once I've eaten fast food twice within a few days, I don't notice it.  Like my body has already adjusted to the nastiness. Then I don't feel guilty about eating it yet again, because I know I won't feel yucky.  {actually, it means I've just gotten used to the yucky feeling}.

Also, it is not in our BUDGET to eat out like this!  January we budgeted zero for out to eat, February we budgeted only for Valentine's Day at White Castle, and March we only budgeted for Bryan's birthday at a sit down restaurant.

Obviously I've put us over budget for March.

Ugh.

So when I got ready for my weigh in this morning (which simply requires feeding the baby), I was expecting a HUGE gain.  And I was ready for it.  I was ready to be angry and motivated.

And yes, I gained.

3 pounds.

3.

THREE???  That's it??  I gained 4 lbs two weeks ago when I was eating healthy AND working out!!!

That is NOT motivation to stop splurging on fast food.

Yeah, it's a GAIN, and NO, not happy about it.  Thankfully I do feel BLAH and have little energy, so that right there is motivation to get back to healthy eating.  I don't have time to have little energy!

So my total weight loss is 10lbs and after 11 weeks that is just not acceptable.  I have less than two weeks until I get to wear my beautiful bridesmaid dress so I need to KICK IT!  Unfortunately my trainer is in Florida for Spring Break, so this week is all on me.  Hoping HOPING my kids get better so I can get back to the gym during the day.

I am also reigning in my eating, NO more fast food, back to healthy, smaller portions made at home!
