Rollercoaster Ride
So I was highly inactive for a while. I had training for work and was out of town the week of Valentines day and that week of eating out turned into a solid month of eating out as I kept up the habit after I returned home. As a result the end of February and beginning of March showed a steep climb on the scale. Turned into that cycle of depression and eating for a bit.
I got back on the proper path mid-month, though and the good thing is those pounds I gained (of which most were water I am sure) have been steadily dropping off. I’m back in the 276 area.
One thing, though. March 17th was my one year anniversary of my journey to lose weight and be healthier in general. It was sad for me, though. I saw my doctor, and got fussed at for not losing more. She and I both know I can do better, last year I dropped 20 pounds in three months. And then I maintained. So this doctor’s visit I was only down 5 pounds from my before Christmas weight.
I posted my one year progress pictures, but I felt stuck. My before/during pictures have been pretty much the same since June last year. Losing so much in those first three months made me confident that I would be seeing big losses all year long.
While I am thrilled that I’ve maintained that initial loss it has been hard for me that I’ve not had more significant losses since. I’m trying not to stay in my head too much. I am back on track now and I’ve entered another reddit weight loss challenge because I find them very inspiring. It’s nice to have a group of people you’re on the journey with.
