Today was one of those bad days. Not because I ate poorly, but because I felt terrible about myself. I looked in the mirror and all I saw was the second chin that I have tried so hard to get rid of. Maybe it looked the same as it has recently, but for some reason today it looked like it got bigger!
I felt like I was retaining so much water, and like I had gained 50lbs! I refused to step on the scale, even though it was Friday and that is my weigh in day. I could see that my leg is swollen, so I knew I was holding at LEAST 5lbs of water.
Ever have those days where you just feel like you are back to square one? That was me today. And that was odd, because as of late, I feel pretty awesome about the weight I've lost. I was even wanting to buy a new shirt to wear this weekend that showed off my weight loss. But, then today, I just wanted to hide under a t-shirt that was two sizes too big.
I guess everyone has these days?
But instead of pigging out even though I was sad, and grumpy, I still watched what I ate, counted calories and made sure to drink my water. And I was MISERABLE.
I don't know why I was so miserable. I literally had worse PMS these last two days then I did when I actually WAS PMSing (last week). Weird. I do know that I was missing my Nunna today.
But all in all, I stayed under my calories today.
I even ran to the grocery store and stared down a box of Little Debbie snack cakes, but did NOT buy them. That's a win in my book.
I actually don't know why I am retaining so much water other than it is starting to warm up around here. But, I am going to stop cooking with salt. And watch the carbs again.
That is of course AFTER this weekend when I get to eat ham and potatoes!! My favorite meal! (I only eat it twice a year, Christmas and Easter)
So, next week, which we'll call AH (After Ham), I'm going back to low sodium, and low carb. (and so is the family too, because they eat what I cook! lol)
Remember, healthy is a lifestyle.
