#weightlossjourney
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!
