Pick either word in the title. They both work and so are interchangeable. This has been a very bad week in many ways.  I did horrible with my diet and I didn't exercise AT ALL !! I didn't pig out so to speak I ate everything in moderation but I ate a LOT of unhealthy "comfort foods".  It is soooo easy to slip and dive, not fall,  DIVE right back into those familiar habits.
I am dealing with a lot in my life lately and now have had a one more potentially serious thing added to my plate. It involves one of my children and to me that is the ultimate thing to stress about the health and well being and general happiness of my babies.
So the good news is I may not have  followed my plan to it's fullest potential and I may feel like I've had a failure of a week in that department but... I weighed in yesterday morning and

179

So despite everything I still lost one pound. I am thrilled with that one pound !!!  I got on the scale with my eyes closed and had to force myself  to open them. I just knew at the very least it was gonna be a stalemate week with no movement. But I was heavily leaning towards a gain.  I am holding on to my one victory this week but trying not to let it lull me into a false sense of “I can do what I want and still lose” . Partly because it was the breastfeeding that saved my butt and I won’t always have that to rely on. Also I am a bad “give an inch take a mile” person and I will eventually quit altogether if I don’t nip this in the bud so to speak.

So that sums up this week… I will try to blog better next week.  Justin was supposed to be home today. We’re now not sure when it will be but hopefully in the next week sometime.

However… My goal was 12 pounds in 6 weeks. I have lost 14 pounds in 6 weeks. That’s already 2 pounds more than my goal. My motivation to meet this goal was my husband’s return so now I have another week to see how much more I can shave off before he comes home. :o)

Peace
