I have been in that seemingly unavoidable weight-loss, eating right, motivational rut for the past week-and-a-half. I was feeling sorry for myself, succumbing to the dull pain in my hip and just making DUMB choices. The Girl Scout cookies showed up at the office and I ate them. I was out in the field, snacking on road food and I ignored my pear and string cheese for the chips and Skittles I bought while gassing up. The scale was not a slap in the face at all this weekend because I was expecting it. I was actually pleased that I didn't gain wait through this period of what I can only describe as gluttony.
I'm doing better today. I did a full 80 minutes of exercise yesterday and 60 minutes today. I made some more dumb food choices at work this afternoon, but I plan to purge the office of the bad things I have laying around and get back to righteous eating tomorrow. I feel so crummy when I get so far off the beaten path and I just don't know why I keep doing it.
I'm putting my best feet forward tomorrow and they will be wearing tennis shoes so I can rack up some steps. Thank goodness we don't have to start over at the very beginning every time we slip up. If I had to lose 34 lbs. again to get where I am now, I don't think I'd be able to muster the drive to climb back up.

Isn't it depressing sometimes how fast we can fall off the track. The important thing is not letting that get the best of you and just starting where you left off. I will be praying for you!:) Hope you are having a good week!
I am praying for you...you can do it sweetie! I know you can. (and bad days happen--don't stress!)
