Difficult But Good Week

This past week was a challenging one for me.  I ended up having 3 days of meals that were really high in sodium.  Sodium as most of you know is not good for you.  The first 2 days, I knew I had.  But the 3rd.  Needless to say, I felt very bloated for the rest of the week.  Up until today that is.

I did get out walking 3 times this past week and had my steps surpass my goal of 8000 steps a day.  I was a happy camper.  I felt that this was really going to help get a little boast going toward my goal.  So when I got on the scale yesterday morning an saw that I was only down .4.  I was a little upset and discouraged.  But my cousin Val was there to lend an ear and help me remember things I tell all of you.

It's right there in the first paragraph.  SODIUM.....BAD......RETAIN WATER.  And I did feel it all week.  Also, your body can fluctuate 2 pounds any given day.  And I kept telling my cousin all week that I have not had a skinny day since weighing last Wednesday.

So, we decided that I was going to get on the scale again today and see where I was.  Guess what?  Magic happened!  lol.  I saw 211.2.  I am down 3.8 from last week.  Now that's more like it!!!!  Woo Hoo!  36.8 Pounds!!!!  I am that much closer to ONEderland and I am so very thrilled.

We have to remind ourselves that one or two bad days do not destroy our progress.  That we have to get right back on track and follow through.  I am so happy to have the support I do and I just cannot wait to see ONEerland.  I cannot get there fast enough.  But is in sight now.  And I am not giving up. So thank you to my supporters.  Much Love. xoxo

Till next week.  Be kind.

Cheers!
