Well, this post is a little late....I went to my weigh in on Saturday morning. It was not good my friends, not good at all. I had a really bad fall off the wagon the day before and I'm going to blame it on the freezer. But I do know that it was basically me. So first the ugly, I posted a 6 pound gain. New number 166.2, but I must add here, (for my own sanity) that the temp was 45 degrees and I had on a pair of jeans and an actual shirt because I was cold. So let me back track a bit and explain the week. On Monday when I got up I noticed water on the kitchen floor. I thought "How odd, where it that coming from." It was right in the middle of the floor, no where near the sink or freezer or anything that could leak. I wiped it up and just went about the day. On Tuesday morning, I started noticing a smell......that somethings rotting smell. Went in search of the odor and found that the freezer was cold, but not everything was still frozen. I removed everything and defrosted the freezer thinking that maybe it was just in need of some maintaining. The freezer is less than a year old, so I thought there can't be anything wrong with it. Cleaned it out and plugged it back in, replaced all the food and quickly forgot about it again. Until Tuesday evening when I went to get my dinner. It wasn't freezing! Anyone that knows the Jenny program knows the freezer is a must. About half of your foods weekly are frozen items and our freezer with the fridge is just not big enough. So long story short, I lost a lot of food this past week. I had to eat what Ali had cooked and prepared or go hungry. So on Saturday after my appointment, I went running around all over town and I do mean ALL OVER town to get a new freezer. This one is bigger and hopefully will last longer than nine months. I've kept the receipt just in case this time. I did actually shoot off an email to the company that made my last freezer to see if they will honor the darn thing and fix it without a receipt....I'm not hopeful. So this week will be just trying to get back to my plateau. I'm so tired of bouncing around the 160 mark. I know what has to be done, I'm just struggling so much with trying to stay on track lately. These last 20 pounds have been harder than I ever thought they would be. The first 100 pounds were not easy, but came off with just me giving just a little bit now and then, that I never imaged that to reach my goal I would have to dig deeper than I had been or be really strict with my food and exercise. Any ideas or encouragement would not be turned away at the moment. I am hope for a better week, I weigh in early this week, on Thursday, because I work the weekend.
Exercise has been lazy also, I did two days of running and two days of abs, but I know this is not going to get me to my goal. Think I did a total of 14 miles for the week and it may even be less than that. I guess I'm just having trouble trying to figure out how much and what kind of workouts I need to do when I'm not training for a race. I've be preparing for a race for over 7 months now that I am totally lost now that I don't have a "goal race" to reach. I have started a paper tracking book in hopes that this will help me stay on track. I may not use it for the full 12 weeks, but I am hoping that it will get me back on track and help me through the holidays in the next few months. So that my post this week three days late.
Till next time, let's keep moving and stay away from all the candy! ~ Darcy
