Yesterday was my weigh in day, and I actually gained weight last week. This caused a surge of negative feeling for me the whole day. I talked it out with a lot of people and got a lot of the words that I have said to others so often: "It's water weight from working out", "Weight fluctuates, don't let it bother you", "probably ate something salty". And while I know these all have some kind of validity to them, it just felt like excuses.
Then I started thinking that maybe I'm on the wrong plan. Maybe I need to find something else that will work for me. After looking into different diet plans and life style plans I got really overwhelmed. I've realized that a large part of it is that there are so many plans, conflicting plans at that, that I can't seem to feel good about any one choice, and trying to adhere to more than one choice would just be setting myself up to fail. So, for right now I'm going to stick to weight watchers and up my exercise plan. I'm also going to try to limit my gluten intake, but that's for my jaw pain more than for my diet plan.
That being said, today, I ate well within my points, and I went to the gym. 40 minutes on the elliptical (350 calories), 20 minutes walking at medium incline (75 calories) and then a 20 minute arm workout. Definitely feels worth it today.
