Good morning all! Last week was rough. I must have been retaining a ton of fluid as I'm back down to my previous week's weight. I'm thinking of going back to the doctor for a med change to see if that could possibly help. However, I'm also thinking about going off of hormonal BC for a while first and try and see if some more natural methods of regulating hormones are out there and effective. I figure if being on the meds made me feel as bad as I did last week, going off of them couldn't be that much worse.
This week I'm going to make an effort to workout 5 times a week and go to the gym at least 3 times. My workplace has treadmill desk in a general workspace that you can check out in 30 minute time slots so I'll try and get on one of those sometime this week as well to help the 2 non-gym workouts. I'm also going to stress eating lots of fruit and veggies this week. I've been very good about incorporating them into my diet so far.
I've had a few lapses with sugar, but I'm down from at least 3 sugary snacks a day to maybe 3 a week. It's definitely an improvement. So my goal is to do as well as can be done. Sugar is my addiction so any progress in eliminating that from my diet is a good thing.
I'm trying to not feel guilty for slip ups. I know that this is going to have to be a lifelong journey and beating myself up for every little slip up will only frustrate me into complete apathy again. Instead, I'm congratulating myself for victories. I haven't had alcohol since 2 weeks before Lent began. While I'm not a big drinker, I often have wine with dinner when out with friends or with a Friday night take-away after a long week. Since sugar and alcohol are practically interchangeable, I consider this a win.
Hope everyone has a fantastic week!
