Stuck in the Frosting

This week has been a little crazy.  I think in all fairness it is safe to say that my life is just crazy and the week reflected it.

I took Friday off work and really gave myself some me time.  Time to plan and get on top of things without any distractions or set backs.  I wish I could say that I secluded myself somewhere beautiful and gave myself time to meditate and feel at peace, but that just did not happen.  I did however have one of the most productive personal days that I have had in a long time. That right now for me was as good as an hour of meditating.

I was feeling confident going in to my weigh in as I know that I have stuck to plan and been really good this last week.  It was heartbreaking to get on the scale and see that it had gone up 1/2 a pound.  I know it isn't that much, but putting forth the effort and not seeing any change is kind of a blow mentally.  I went back and forth with my health coach to brainstorm what I need to do for this upcoming week and felt much better.

This morning I got up to get ready for church and did the unthinkable...I got on that scale again.  Let me just say that I have been really working at only weighing in 1 time each week, but I stepped on, cringing at my decision.  I got really lucky that it was down 2.8 pounds from last Saturday, because really...who needs to see the flux that can take place on a daily basis.  My weigh in going forward though will continue on Sunday so that I can keep to my weekly weigh in goal. Bad me...

I noticed a few awesome things today.  One, since day 3, I have not taken any ibuprofen or Excedrin.   This is pretty crazy!  I mean something is usually bothering me.  Headaches being my number one culprit.  NONE!!  I know that it has only been 2 weeks on plan but for me that was a really amazing realization.    The other thing I noticed...my face!  I can see changes in my face!  I know it's kind of early for that, but I can see a subtle change in the roundness of my face, and hey I look at that mug more than once a day, so that kind of makes me the expert on it!
