Rough Week

So I don't know what my deal is, but it has been one heck of a week. I have not been eating very well nor have I excersised. This is very unusual for me and it is driving me crazy. I am never like this. I may have a day or two here or there, but never a whole week. Hopefully I can get back into my routine next week! Anyway, I just had to write this down and hope that somebody else has gone through it too because I feel so icky!!!

Magham, I'm so you are having an icky week--i've certainly had my share both pre and post RNY. Hang in there and i know you will get back on track soon

We ALL have days/weeks when we are not at our best..mine has been ALL summer and now it is Fall and it is hard to break the bad choices I have made. Next week is a new week for you HUGS

Hey Maghan, Tomorrow's a new day. Let go of what's behind and move on. You got where you are today by taking the next step, not by looking over your shoulder at where you'd been, right? Pick up the plan and start working it again. The best part is we're all walking this road together, so when one of us lags behind, the rest reach back and put out a hand. Grab on and let's keep going! Get a good night's sleep and we'll see ya TOMORROW! Steve

Its ok Maghan and I appreciate you coming here to tell us you are struggling right now. We all have moments where we struggle. Just last night I out at my calories.. PMS kills me! I am great for 3 weeks then that one week is just murder on me. I want salty then sweet..crunchy foods.. its so hard. I do understand, are you finding this to conincide with your cycles at all? For me it is truly hormonal changes. I get very tired and very munchie. Then as soon as Aunt Flo stops by I get my energy back and desire to munch is lost. It is very bizarre. Hang in there..you can do this and we are all here to help eachother! Have a good weekend!

Hi Maghan, Sorry to hear you had a rough week. You are very smart to come here and post about it, that is a good step towards changing the pattern. We all have this happen time to time and it scares us all...that's a good thing, don't you think? I had a bad day yesterday and today is being challenging so far but I'm not quitting and know that you aren't either. Hang in there and try to get back to strategies that have been successful for you in the past. You can do it! Hugs! Molly

oh Meghan,Meghan, If you happen to have seen my posts from earlier this week to Melissa-----I have had THE WORST WEEK since surgery......WORST.....i was on an exercise roll and i fell OFF ---not one step of exercise since last Thursday (my dr appt) i told Mel that i was going to get back on it no later than Monday (tomorrow) I am not going to beat myself up cuz that just leads to worse things...I am going to "allow" myself this week.....(not like i had a choice cuz i was already doing it--but go with the reverse psychology) not only that ---but i have been eating....evidently since i am too scared to try sweet things ---i just filled that void with crackers, and chips...can u believe......AGAIN...lets call it a one week lapse of judgement and go forward ....This will be the difference between our new life and the "old" life............ If you need support....contact me...cuz tomorrow i will be back to my old self......i am vowing that to all of my December buddies who i am accountable to..... sorry so long winded! Helps to know i am not alone---dawn

At least we aren't alone! Thank you so much. I am glad to know that I am not and tomorrow will be a new day for the both of us! I will keep in touch with you and let you know how it goes! My day will start at 0430 to get ready for work and after work it is straight to the gym for me! Good luck and I hope that we can both get back on track!

Hi, Dawn... I have had an exercise-mental block for the past 3 + weeks. I made such a lame attempt lately; just walking at 2 festivals and when food shopping, which do not count as true exercise. I had been doing pretty well with my 30 minute walks and then just stopped moving my bod. I know that exercise is essential to keep healthy. Not sure that I feel any better having admitted the above. Ro

Any movement is good !so keep on keeping on! Today is the day! i brought my tennis shoes to work cuz a co worker and i are going to start walkig at lunch! Dont you know it is raining cats and dogs! Thats ok...I will leave the tennis shoes here there will always be a next time. Plus i have my treadmill pair at home ...... We have to do this........it is necessary........NOT NEGOTIABLE (that is my mantra....i just didnt say it for a week) ha ha ..... Have a good week Ro!
