Well, I did in fact have a gain this week. My weight went up 1.4 lbs, despite following a calorie recommendation that should have allowed me to lose at least 1 lb. and I've been exercising. It's frustrating, but I'm still proud of myself for sticking it through to the end and doing everything right. Now I'm thinking the calorie recommendation that was suggested may be wrong. So for this week, excluding today, I'm going to try to keep my net caloric intake below 2,000 (or right at 2,000) because I think the upper limit that was set might be too close to my BMR. We'll see how that works. I know it's going to be difficult because having those up days where I was 200 or 300 calories over 2,000 really helped me with the days I ate less.
Everyone is so supportive, and I truly appreciate it. I'm waiting for someone to come around and just say it: "When the hell are you just going to lose this damn weight?" lol Seriously, this year I planned on losing weight....not gaining 10 lbs. This journey, thus far, has led me down a different path. I've started to change my mind, my attitude, the way I perceive things all for the better, and that's awesome. That's what still makes this year a success.
I still have a long way to go, not just with my weight, but I know I'll get there. Finding that balance between my logical self and my emotional self will allow everything else to just fall into place. The confusion and lost feeling are subsiding, and I'm starting to enjoy the ride. :)
