This week was an off week for me.  I didn’t track my food most days and I spent half of the week with my husband in the hospital.  He is home now and recovering well.  Thanks for the prayers.

Over the weekend I took the kids to the mountains to a family reunion so the hubster could have a quiet house to rest.  So not the most ideal week for weight loss.

Exercise:
I had to get creative with my workouts.  I only made it to the gym twice, but I got in several walks and hikes so I did meet my goal still.  Yeah!! Something good this week!

Water Intake:
This was my worst week yet for water intake.  I had a terrible time getting enough water.  My mind was else where.  This week will be much, much better!

Measurements:
I am bloated and I have gained back some in my mid section ½ inch- 1 inch on my ribs, waist and belly.  Hopefully back to my losing streak next week.  But I have lost ¼ inch off my neck.

  1. Well, you didn't have a stellar week, but you've had a lot going on with your husband and all. I'm glad to hear he's home now. Just do your best to get back on track and the weight will start falling off once again.

  2. Oops! This is just a bump in the road. If you don't let this throw you weight will be gone at your next weigh-in. As you read the blogs of others you know that this is a pretty common thing with us. We can lose a battle but WE WILL NOT lose the war!

  3. Refocus and get back to it. It's really the only thing we can do when life throws us a curve ball; you had one of those weeks. Everyone has an off day and sometimes an off week. Whatever it is, the most important thing is that we get right back on track and beat the fat monster. Next week, you can show a loss that will put you back where you want to be. :)

  5. You had a lot of stress to deal with, so don;t be too hard on yourself. You are still doing well. That little weight gain will come off. Get back to tracking and voila you will be back in the groove! michele
