Having a BLAH week!
Hey Everyone,
This week is not going very well so far. I’m not looking forward to weigh in on Friday - as I don’t even think I will make my goal of a 2lb loss. Had a great weekend - although ate white bread and a potatoes over 3 days and my tummy wasn’t too pleased with that. **BLOAT**
Since I have been back in the UK (will be a month on Friday), I haven’t been feeling all that great health wise. The first week I had a bad cold - I always catch things on the plane! When that cleared up, I get a stomach bug. Then I was in agony from my back and neck (more than usual) and now I have ANOTHER cold! I woke up this morning aching so bad!
So, this week hasn’t been great when it comes to my weightloss journey! Food - I have been craving bad carbs, water - I haven’t been drinking as much as I usually do, exercise - I have done a bit of walking and my stretches for my neck and back, but not up to what I need to be doing to lose weight.
I had been so motivated and focused on this journey since I got back. I have things to aim for - Chris and I having our Engagement photos taken is a big one right now! I was rocking my goal of 30lbs in 3 months and so far lost 18lbs in 3 weeks! I have set myself another goal - to be in ONEderland for New Year 2010! So, another 23lbs in 9 weeks. I know I can do it.
I don’t know why I have been feeling so rough lately. Why do I keep catching bugs?? I think I only ever had one cold in the 3 years I lived in Canada! Maybe the stress is causing my immune system to lack - I don’t know. I hope it sorts itself out soon - I need my mojo back!!
Hope everyone is having a good start to the week!!
I think it’s the stress to you had a lot the last time, i takes you on your week spot.
Take good care
I love the loss so far ! dont worry - its a tiny blip - im confident u will get to ur goal! wish some of this confidence would spring my way.!
I hope you get to feeling better soon and back to your old spring in your step self. Keep your chin up and stay positive. Best of luck.
Oh no, sorry your feeling sick again. Yes, stress and lack of sleep can cause your immune system to weaken.
You have been awesome on your weight loss so far–even if you dont lose but 1 lb this week or even maintain–god, look what youve done so far!
I hope you get to feeling better soon. Hugs.
Thank you everyone! I’m hoping it will clear up soon, so I can get back to kicking butt! I need to reach these goals!!
Take care of yourself, and recognize what your bod’s telling you…you’ve got an action-packed year ahead, so take care of yourself *now*!
HI HI GIRL! Long time no read.
Ahhhhhhhhhh stomach bugs are the worst. I hope you feel better soon so you can take some beautiful pics!
I know you will meet your goal this is just a minor set back. I’m sure some of you getting sick is stress and some of it might be a new climate. Just make sure you take care of yourself first before you push forward with your exercise. (((HUGS))))
You are probably right about stress killing your immune system. It can really do a number your body. Hang in there, you will get over these bugs and be great. I can tell you want to reach your New Years goal as much as I want to reach mine. I know you can do it!
Feel better soon.
oh girl…stress will do it every time…thats my problem…i stress about things a lot and i get sick a lot too…yuck…i wish i could stop stressing but it will never happen unless i win the lottery…then i would be just fine and dandy and would focus alll of my time and energy into doing things good for me…because i wouldnt have to work…and i would get down to my goal weight and be a happy happy lady…but thats in dream world…and now im back to real world….and now i feel stress again hahahaha
Why do we always crave bad food when we are sick???
You are doing great and I know that you will reach your goal!!!
