After a rough month of sickness, chronic illness, and the death of our business owner and boss I had a 5 pound weight gain. It kills me to have to write it down especially after a plateau last month. I had to add this sticker to my journal to remind myself that weight loss is a journey and I will make it to my goal!
CrossFit
Do any of you heavier (280ish pounds plus) people do CrossFit? One of my friends invited me to go to CrossFit with them this week but I’m scared that I am still too heavy and out of shape. They are super supportive but I’m still hesitant. Help??
This was an incredibly tough and busy month for me. I had a lot of traveling, worrying about family stuff and a lot of stress at work. I kept up with my diet for the most part, struggling the most when I was away from home. No excuses, but it is so hard to stay on diet and away from dairy when you are living out of a hotel room for days at a time. I did my best. What I did not do was lose a single pound, HOWEVER, I did maintain! While I could be super down on myself (which I am trying desperately to avoid) because I didn’t manage to lose any weight this month, I AM proud of myself for ending the month exactly the same weight I started it. It may have been difficult but I managed to stick to my diet and workouts enough that I know that once I get down to my goal weight I will be able to maintain it with the skills that I have learned and the habits that I build.
So why did I write all this just to say that I haven’t changed weight all month? Because I know that some of you get very discouraged when you reach a plateau or slip up and don’t stay on diet. I want you to know that this is one minute, one day, one month of your life. Know better and do better. If you slip up or have a bad month or even gain a pound or more back , buckle down and do better next month. You can do and so can I!
Trying not to be disappointed. I missed my goal by half a pound for the month. Down 9.3 pounds in May.
What’s for lunch? I’m back on my shit today after a long week of business and trash eating. I need motivation.
Had to go shopping for some pants since my old ones literally won’t stay up. Bottom pair is the pair I just took out of the wash- size 26. Top pair I tried on and bougght- size 18!!!!!!!! I have t worn an 18 since high school which is fitting since my 10 year reunion is tonight
I’ve been struggling lately. It’s hard to stay dairy free and on diet when there is so much going on. I’ve been stressed lately and the gym has gone to the way side. I’ve managed to maintain with small fluctuations up and down but I’m hoping to really crack down on my diet and get my ass back to the gym. Next week is our fall festival and my 10 year high school reunion. While looking through old pictures I found the one on the left which was taken at last years fall festival. I was at my highest weight ever and so unhappy. It was a nice reminder that while I have so far to go, I’m nowhere near what I used to be. Anyone that needs to hear it, Keep going, you are doing great. Message me if you want a helpful ear.
Awesome gains
