So yesterday's weigh in of 152.8 was awesome and I was like....
So I decided to harness this momentum and use it to mentally double-down on my commitment to exercise, stay within my calorie limits, and just, in general, be healthier. I went on another walk yesterday (admittedly shorter--3.45 miles, but at a faster pace) and was scrupulously good about my calorie limits.
This morning's weigh in should have been perfection.....but instead.....
154.8.
A TWO POUND GAIN?!?!
So at first I was all in denial about it and tried re-weighing myself......
And then the little voice in my head started running through all the things I did wrong. Did I eat a lot of fiber yesterday? No. Was my pho for lunch a complete sodium bomb? Yes. Did I drink enough water? Maybe not.
And then I could just hear the annoying choruses of people saying that "this why you need to watch your salt intake blahblahblahblah"
And at first I prepared to get all defensive. Like, whatever.....
But then, I had a moment of clarity. I know I have been good this week (even if I was a little heavy on the sodium). My clothes are looser around the waist and hips. In fact, they're just as loose-fitting today as they were yesterday, this 2 pound fluctuation notwithstanding. I know that this is working. I know that this was just a blip on the radar.
I will not be discouraged.
I will be a boss.
And I will charge forward, full steam ahead and keep doing what I'm doing. Because it IS working. Despite what the scale might say this morning.
And I am confident that by Thursday, this will all be a distant memory and I am going to kill it in my Week 3 Progress Report.
And in the meantime, I'll lay off the salt. That's the master plan.
