Now I don't weigh in on Wednesday, but I thought I would link up because the Fake it till you make it saying really rings true with me today. Around 2 weeks ago I had lost a few pounds and felt really good. I had a HORRIBLE weekend, I continued to work out but ate really bad. I ended up gaining around 4 or 5 pounds. I did jump on the scale today and those pounds are still there!!! I have to say that I have been a rock star the last two weeks and there has been no movement. My eating isn't perfect (damn Nutella) but it is within my calorie limit. I have tracked everything I ate. I have been working out like crazy. And nothing. It is that time of the month for me, and I have been recently tracking everything I am eating. I am hoping that after my monthly witch comes and goes, I will lose some poundage. The thing is I feel good, my clothes feel good, I am feeling strong because of my time at the gym. I think this is the first time in my life I am not freaking out about the number on the scale.
This is my first month tracking my food, I want to see how my body responds during this time of the month to see if I need to change my plan or maybe this is just how my body is? The thing is, I am not freaking out!!! Yes I am upset and bummed. I am nervous, that witch leaves town the numbers still won't come. But I have to be patient and if I have to tighten it up on the eating than so be it. I am NOT one of those girls that can cheat/eat what she wants and still lose. I can't do the 80/20 rule and get to where I want to go. I might be able to when I am in maintenance but not now. I need to work on planned cheats and sticking to the plan. I am just going to keep on doing what I am doing and adjust if I need to. This is a journey, it is going to be a long one. I will keep going.
So fake it till you make it is right on for me today. I can't put off today what I want to do when I am thin. Its such a waste of time and energy. So if I have a few drinks and a plate of enchilladas on my date night, oh well. I will have a fresh start the next day.
So here is an OOTD picture. I am going to stop myself from all the negative talk that is going on in my head when I see this....these progress pictures, or just taking pictures of myself is a huge step and I hate every second of it. I am the classic, don't dress the way you want until you reach your goal weight, maybe I will go shopping this weekend, and find myself some fabulous fat girl clothes :) Fake it till you Make it.......
