Last week I lost 1kg which was really motivating. This week, I did everything the same - ate well, went out for a run on Sunday afternoon (with Pierre and Sophie which was great), carried on with the XLS and the Slimpod, but I just didn't get the same results. Midweek, my weight had gone back up by the kilo I'd lost, so I was actually quite pleased to see that today I was back to exactly the same weight as last week. I hope next week I'll get another loss though because I feel like I deserve it for all the effort I'm putting in !
Positives of the week
- The kids have got well into the running thing, which is great for motivation and also for getting them active too
- I'm still in the 87's - phew !

It can be a little disheartening to maintain - but trust me, even maintaining is hard work in itself! Your body is still adjusting and it is so lovely that you are going out on a family run... that is awesome! The scales may not have moved this week but you may notice a difference in how your clothes are feeling on you. You can do it love and am behind you this week for an epic loss next week!

ReplyDeleteAww thank you - I remember your blogposts last year about your hips not budging and you got there in the end so you're inspiring me to keep going ! xx
DeleteWell done on maintaining. If you have increased you exercise you will be building muscle and toning up too! Well done x
ReplyDeleteThis is true - I really must start focusing more on the positives :)
DeleteInstead of looking at the scales look at how your clothes are fitting and how you are feeling. Thank you for sharing with #Slimmerseeker
DeleteI think it's important to remember (not just you, but me too!) that the number on the scales doesn't always accurately reflect the health of our bodies. You're doing the right things, eating right and exercising, that's great, but please don't get too hung up on the number on the scales. Your body will be so grateful for the good, healthy food and the endorphines. You may well be losing inches or your body could just be holding water or something that is making it look like you haven't lost. (I'm no expert by the way!)
ReplyDeleteHope next week your efforts do appear on the scales though!
That is all perfectly true and all things that I say to other people, then forget it when it comes to myself ! :)
DeleteIt is a bit of a downer when it happens. I just saw a defintion on FB the other day of an Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it's a cha-cha. I rather like this comparison.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love that !!
DeleteI love getting the kids out and about and moving. It definitely helps keep me motivated to keep moving
ReplyDeleteWell done on maintaining Cheryl, you're probably burning fat and building muscle running. Glad to see you're still going with your weight loss, I pretty much gave up last year but have just rejoined SW this week, so I'll be stalking you for motivation again ;-) x
ReplyDeleteAww great to find some of the old gang again :)
DeleteHi Cheryl - you are just what the weight loss community needs - someone who blogs very honestly so we can all find inspiration when the same thing happens to us (and it does!!) but just like the others say you will probably really notice a difference next week on the scales so don't feel bad :) Plus you are inspiring your family and THAT is a great positive change this week so very many congratulations - well done you!

ReplyDeleteThat's very true - I was really surprised when they wanted to come along. I think it's for the novelty value at the moment ! lol. As for being honest, I always like to tell it the way it is - whether that's reviews, weight loss or kitchen fails, I share them all, warts and all ! I never take myself too seriously ! lol xx
DeleteSometimes the result we et just feels so unfair when we now we have been trying to hard but you just have to stick to logic and remember if you carry on being good, you can't fail to lose weight. Hope it has been a fab week fro you Cheryl. Mich x
ReplyDeleteThanks Mich, very wise words :) This week has been so hectic, I'm just crossing my fingers for a maintain !
DeleteIt can be a bit disheartening when it doesn't go the way we want but we can always bounce back xxx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good idea and a more accurate reflection of how you're doing :)
