Yeah. I wasn't even sick this week (unless you count PMS), but it was just a disaster all around. I even dropped out of logging for a while because I just didn't care. I did manage the plank a few times, yesterday being my best effort. I really should try to work that into the rotation occasionally when I'm doing my yoga, because holy crap, she who can successfully plank is a bad mama jama. Even though I had a 3-day-weekend last week, I procrastinated until just this morning to do the measurements. So technically that was a fail too since I didn't do it during TWWSNBN. I just wonder at what point I turned from an hourglass into a pear? Will be interesting to check back on those numbers every 10 pounds or so. (Is that a better idea than every month?)
I am exercising a No Weigh Pass this week, which is something I just invented. Yes, we have to be honest with ourselves, but sometimes you just physically can't bring yourself to step on the scale. The only rule is that you can't use it again for 3 months after using it. I might save one for Christmastime.
Chip Challenge #5
Well, Choco knows me well. There has been a lot of negative self talk going on, and I was planning a punishing make-up regimen for next week. But her entry brought me to tears (did I mention PMS?) and changed my focus. So, in harmony with the love yourself theme, my challenge is to breeeeeaaaaathe. Once a day (more is better), stop in the middle of whatever you're doing. Clear your mind. Close your eyes. Inhale deeply and slowly through your nose, hold for a beat or two, exhale deeply and slowly through your mouth, hold for a beat or two. That's it. (Maybe don't do it at work if people will think you're weird.) The stress/weight gain link is a real thing, and this will help to bring us back to ourselves and what we're doing.
