I began my 30 Day "Challenge" on the first of the month, so I wouldn't have to think too hard about what day I was on. I have MS, and some days I can barely remember to state my own name, much less if it's day five or seven.
Yesterday I did not do as well as I'd hoped. I'm still on plan, no cheating, but I get so busy. I've got these kids, and an ex-husband or two, and it's summer vacation. Long story short, end of the evening and I am craving something....I haven't craved anything really yet, so I recognized it as...what? I didn't eat the Medifast meals when I was supposed to. Yep, I had skipped two and gone straight to my evening Lean and Green. And the water I am religiously drinking? Not enough of that either. But I recognized what my body was doing! I didn't lose track! I glugged down some water, and rather than eating another meal/snack at 10:00pm I went to bed. I woke up this morning ready to commit.
Today is the seventh of August. SCALE DAY!!! I'll admit, I was apprehensive. I started my period, and I know from years of watching that water weight that I usually fluctuate about five lbs, gone at the end of the week. What would I do if the scale said I didn't lose any weight?? Was it going to derail my progress if I wasn't happy with the number?? Should I even try??
I tried. Here's the routine. Go to the bathroom, pee, take out the tampon (it could weigh enough of an ounce to tip me over, don't judge), take off ALL of my clothes, exhale, step on scale.
208
208! That's six lbs in seven days!
