Weighed in today at 216 lbs, which is actually up 2 lbs from my initial weigh-in. I have to admit, I'm feeling pretty disappointed in myself. But I know setbacks are a part of the journey, and I need to be kind to myself.
Understanding the Current Situation
Life is stressful right now—honestly, isn't it for everyone? I'm also menstruating, which I know can affect my weight and emotions. Despite these challenges, I've decided to set a few positive intentions for myself today:
- **I will move my body today.**
- **I will NOT overeat today.**
- **I will drink my water.**
- **I will go outside and get fresh air.**
- **I will hold myself accountable.**
Navigating Life's Challenges
This month has been particularly distracting. As I mentioned before, Vince and I are in the process of purchasing a home. While this is incredibly exciting, it has brought a whirlwind of new feelings and emotions. We're so close to achieving such a significant goal, and it's reminding me of the early days of my weight loss journey.
Starting out, I was completely unaware of what I was doing, but I persevered and succeeded. The dedication it takes to lose weight has taught me invaluable life lessons and serves as a constant reminder of what is possible with hard work and determination.
Moving Forward
I recognize that both buying a home and maintaining a healthy lifestyle require patience, discipline, and resilience. Today, I choose to focus on the small steps I can take to support my well-being. By holding myself accountable and staying committed to my goals, I know I can overcome these temporary setbacks and continue moving forward on my journey.
