Last Day of Carbs
So over the last week I have been so tired and stressed (I had to work 1.5 days this week!! haha!) plus a holiday/a relative's birthday meant it was very hard to take my diet seriously when I knew I wasn't going to be able to officially start on Monday the 5th. The 5lbs I lost, I gained 4 back.
I'm somewhere between completely grossed out and annoyed. I'm angry with myself and frustrated with myself. I know that part of my issue is that my body is still adjusting to the hormonal shift it was through 8 weeks ago and I do have to acknowledge that those changes can impact my weight, my cravings, my attitude, etc.
The thing is, I know I can do this and if I go back to when I switched to low carb 2 years ago, I didn't know if I could but the results were immediate and there was money on the line.
I have been trying to figure out what my reward will be and what I want badly enough to keep me on track. At first I thought I might hold my annual trip to Florida over my head but the later I book the trip, the move it is going to cost me to fly. I need to lose too much weight to do that!!
Then I thought maybe I'd get myself a Michael Kors bag that is $160 but I've never been big on expensive bags and I think I'd just feel guilty.
And finally, I weighed the option of the full spa day at the salon where I get my hair done..$295....
And as I type this I realize...maybe when I lose 16lbs I can get the bag and at 29.5lbs I can get the spa day. See how I did that? Yea, slick, huh?
I'm just worried that based on my performance in this last week, I'm not going to be able to do it.
