WW

So I'm not quite floating on air like I was last Wednesday. Unfortunately I did not lose weight this week, I gained .5 pounds. But I guess after last week's loss that's not all the surprising. Add into that a party with pizza and cake (and dip which I apparently felt was left out just for me) and some emotional eating this week and it's pretty clear where the gain came from. My biggest downfall is the emotional eating and honestly it's been a really rough few months which is how I ended up here in the first place.

I'm supposed to blog about how I am going to avoid temptation over the next two weeks and honestly I don't know how to answer that right now. I have a class party on Friday, but I don't expect that to be a big deal. A few chicken nuggets, a cookie and some veggies. That's not a big deal. Then we have a party next week on the 23rd which will probably be difficult for me because I don't know a soul there (friend of hubby's from work). I guess I will camp out by the veggie tray.

This morning we also took a visit to the allergist to learn more about Kyle's food allergies. He is starting a rotary diet which is going to add new complications to our life. Basically I have to rotate certain food groupings through each day to try to figure out if he is intolerant to anything besides wheat, eggs and peanuts. I'm very overwhelmed by his diet as it is and now it has to be more structured for a few
weeks.

Wow this turned out to be a pretty depressing post. I guess that's the kind of mood I'm in. Like I tell my kids at school: I'll try to turn my day around.

Awww, Lisa, I'm sorry you had a gain. It sounds like you've had a rough week and that's understandable. You did have an awesome loss last week, so keep that in mind. I often find I don't do well the week after a big loss. It's like you're body's a little alarmed about the loss and trying to hold on or something.

I hope everything works out with your son's diet. Sounds like it's going to be tough figuring out if he's allergic to anything else. I hope after a few days, you fall into a good and easy routine.

Hugs!

Don't get too down. Everything will even out here again soon. Keep your chin up and good luck this week!

Don't just focus on the small gain. This week with the holidays is going to be rough, make a plan and drink plenty of water! Watch, you'll make up for it all in the end. Keep your head up!

Doing this challenge during the holiday was just that, a challenge. You havea already won by just signing up to do something good for you!

You know .5 isn't bad at all. I can put that on in a few minutes LOL. Just don't let it get you down. It's hard to try and stick with healthy eating this time a year. Just try to strive to be a little gooder than badder and not perfection. Have a good one!
