Weight Loss Journey: Weeks 2-4

The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster for me both personally and professionally. I started a new job March 1, so it has been a big transition getting comfortable in my new role and starting to figure out what my new work day will look like. Bear is almost a year (can’t believe it) and he has been developing more of a personality and is truly starting to figure out feelings, etc. He just started crawling as well! All of these things are very exciting, but add additional stress to my already chaotic life. This has affected my diet, and really has almost put a stop to my weight loss which has been hard.

Over the last 2 to 3 weeks I have only lost about 3 lbs and about 1% body fat. My last weigh in on April 5 I lost 0 pounds and actually gained .2% body fat. For most people this would be quite frustrating and upsetting. That is very true for me. Look, if I am being honest I haven’t stuck to my plan as closely as needed, but I ate a TON better than I normally would. So seeing no change was hard knowing that at this stage in my life, I really need to focus on what I am eating and what time I am eating to fully see the weight shed off.

So now we are on Week 5 and I am more determined than ever to see some positive results next week at my weigh in. It is going to be hard, and it is going to take a lot of self-control on my part to really see the changes I need/want to see. I am the first person to admit that I HATE being uncomfortable, especially if I am the one that is putting myself in uncomfortable situations. In order to lose weight and to get down to where I want to be, I have to start being comfortable being uncomfortable. If loosing weight was easy, we would have less health issues related to weight in the US.

So here goes a week of being uncomfortable and working my ass off to try to see some positive results next Monday!

Keep on Working!
