I've been weighing each Monday for longer than I can even remember. I think it started back when I hit the weight loss harder and my mom was doing WW. I just weighed in Mondays because that was her check in day. Anyway, this weekend has me up 2lbs. I figured it would, and really 2 isn't that big of a deal, but I fought hard to get to the "normal" range, and am barely holding a little under that high number that will push me over into overweight again. I worked too hard to let go, so those 2lbs do bother me. The only way I'm going to be comfortable with seeing that scale start to climb again is if I'm pregnant. So, I must lay off the bad stuff. I decided if I can't be pregnant right now, I will focus more of my energy and obsession on losing the last 10 that I wanted to lose. 10lbs down and maintaining that would be awesome and I would not complain again about that number!
We're hoping to do a beach trip the first week in Sept again this year, so I have time to make this happen. Of course I'll welcome something to interrupt my plans. Just have to add that again lol.
The food that really did me in this weekend was the 2 desserts we made from the Pioneer Womans blog....I would totally recommend trying these 2, but be fair warned, they are BAD!
First one is Strawberry Shortcake Cake. So so sooooo good. We finished up the strawberries from our garden in this and wish I would have found it earlier. Or maybe I don't. If I did, I'd have made it way too often and been like 10lb gain instead of my 2. The other was Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Another drool worthy recipe. It was crazy sweet though. If you like peanut butter fudge, the filling part tastes like fudge. We also had a ton of things on the grill, homemade baked mac & cheese, pasta salad, chips, and lots of other bad things I should have avoided. It was good though.
I think after lunch I'm going to go out and run around the yard for the afternoon with K and hopefully help lose those 2lbs. And it will wear him out and make him sleep good tonight. Yeah...that's what I'll do. Its a beautiful day here. :)
I hope you can tackle those 10 lbs successfully. It must be nice being so close to your goal weight (I haven't been there in years).
ReplyDeleteWhen I was initially TTC I didn't exercise or anything cause I was worried that losing weight might actually negatively affect my fertility (not a completely unfounded fear, but I probably shouldn't have been too concerned about that). But I think moderate exercise really helped me. I know it's good for insulin resistance to exercise a bit everyday.
