Well I must say I have learned a lot about myself through this little challange and the biggest one being....I need to weight every day to be accountable. I had set myself up for a spiral of downhill events that damaged my progress.
With that being said I will just say that I weighted myself yesterday and after being offline plan for most of the month I gained 5.5 pounds. I have to say it felt good (being off plan). I was so frustrated and eating off plan a little over day. So finally I went off completly, I ate what I wanted for 2 days. I had planned to stay off through my vacation and get back on track when I got home. But after 2 days completely off plan, I wanted back on!
So yesterday was the first day, it went really well, TOTALLY COMPLIANT...yeah for me...not to say it wasn't hard and I wasn't grouchy a few times during the day. I am proud to announce that I lost 3 pounds yesterday! Boy, was I happy to see that, I told myself I would be happy with 2.
I have three more days to be compliant and detox myself before going on vacation to see my parents. They have a huge garden and a fruit orchard. should be interesting to see how I do. Blackberrys are my weakness up there, not to mention peaches and apricots.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
