Current Weight: 393
Les Sigh.
So I've lost a little more and got down to 392. However, in the last week and a half, I gained back 1. Now, to be honest, my diet hasn't really changed (although the last 2 days have been pretty bad), and I think some of it may be water retention. That being said, I also know I've missed quite a few work outs (compared to my 6 day/wk I was doing). No, I'm not slacking, but it's because we found out my mom has terminal cancer. Super sucky, and I needed to just spend some time at home being a basket case. I'm back on track now though, still going every day that I'm able.
I know it's totally irrational, but I'm feeling a little disappointed with gaining back that pound. Yes, it's just a pound, and overall I'm still down 11lbs from where I was. But with all the stress of everything going on with the family, it's a like just one more thing to make me want to say fuck-it and give up. It would be SO easy to just go back to the way things were. I guess this qualifies as one of those times where I've got to push through the mental challenge and keep the big picture in perspective. There's a part of me that's also wondering if maybe I've been over-exercising. I've been increasing my time in the aerobic heart rate zone on the treadmill & elliptical, but I'm also noticing that I'm not sweating as much (yes, I'm staying hydrated), and I'm feeling completely exhausted after my work outs. I think I'm going to try cutting back on the intensity of the workouts, and see what happens.
I've also been craving protein. And nothing else. It's like my body is saying "GIVE ME MEAT! NOW!" And nothing else seems to satisfy - not even sweets! I know Sean "The Hottie" trainer warned me about my appetite increasing, but honestly, it hasn't increased as much as it's been only wanting protein. Meat protein. Beans, legumes, tofu are SO not cutting it! And screw that crap about nuts. Mamma wants some steak, chicken, ribs...oh damn...now I'm hungry!
