What I'm Reading This Week #13
Friday is finally here! Can I get a woot woot?! (Cheers to those who actually did it.) The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam! Friday. We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday. The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys! Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no. We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house. Soon enough I guess. You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway. So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get. Enjoy. 😄 I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...
Stress always plays havoc with weight loss - hopefully next week will be less stressful for you!
ReplyDeleteI know you've been worried about this weigh-in all week. I'm glad you're taking it all zen like. I think following everyone's (even your own) advice is the best option. Then next week you can re-evaluate. Did you talk to your doc at your physical? Any advice from that front?
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I know it isn't a loss, but adding calories, giving your body a chance to adjust to that, and gaining ONLY 2 pounds is pretty awesome in my book! Give it another week and maybe you won't stress as much and things will level back out. Can I ask how you eat during the week? I know Saturdays are kind of your "what-the-hell" day, but during the week do you cycle anything at all or just keep it pretty even on calories/carbs/etc? BTW, your new pics on SP look fantabulous! What an incredible difference you and the Mr can see and feel!
ReplyDeleteI like your approach girl. You KNOW your body is adjusting and the stress you've been through this week. You ARE doing what is best for your body, so take those deep breaths and know the scale will cooperate again. 200 POUNDS GONE mama!!! Show that moon! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSince you know of my recent plight (grrrr, sob, argh!), can I just share some good news? I had my first WW meeting this morning and was done 7.6 lbs! I can't begin to tell you what a shot in the arm that was after the hell that is my life. It's something that's MINE, and that felt pretty darn good.
Stress does affect our bodies more than we realize; glad you are going to give it one more week and try to relax about it. One or two weeks of testing things out is a tiny sliver of time in the grand scheme of things; you and the Mr. are doing awesome!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are taking it in stride, because I do think your body needs another week to adjust to both those changes. Hopefully you can keep the stress under control this week so that won't skew the results. No bueno on the heart palpitations!
ReplyDeleteWhile I await the report on your next weigh-in day with bated breath, I'm going to go and make up some of those yummy caramelized onions so I can put them on everything I eat! Caramelized onion sundae coming right up!
I hope you can cut down on the stress this week. Here's to a nice relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteZen is good!! Trust in the two-week experiment and take the results next week and see what you think. I am observing SUCH an awesome change, Enjoy living every day of it. The pics speak for you, it's working and this tweak will either speed things up or not, and you'll move ahead accordingly. Trust yourself. You've got this.
ReplyDeleteStress sucks. IT messes up everything. Hope you can be rid of that this week!
ReplyDeleteGood job, girl! No stress allowed this week! Keep on keepin' on!
ReplyDeleteI know it wasn't what you wanted; glad you're taking it all in stride. Here's to a less stressful week ahead!!
ReplyDeleteStress is such a nasty beast! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteDo you take your measurements too? With the amount of working out you do, couldn't you be gaining muscle? But even if not, plateaus happen! You will work through it. But take care of yourself too, especially if you're having heart palpitations! I get those when I'm stressed too & they can be scary.
