June 7, 2024 Diary

Yikes! I totally forgot to weigh myself in the morning!! So I'll retroactively update after I weighed myself on the 8th. Same shit, really.

So last week I weighed in at 156.6 pounds but this week?

No change in weight. I am more happy than disappointed. Glad I didn't gain and you know...I kind of expected to plateau eventually but not when I am halfway through my weight loss journey. My overall goal was to lose 60 pounds and I have now lost 31 so I was hoping last 10 pounds would be the plateau. But knowing how I was the past few weeks...should I even be surprised I hit a plateau??

Nope. I slacked on exercise which would have added up eventually. Not intentionally lazy or anything since as you know I bruised my tibia bone in my right leg and did not let it heal properly and I ended up getting shin splints so I quit exercising altogether. Only this week was when I got back to doing my 10k+ daily steps. My shin splints is like 80% recovered so I am debating if I should start up exercising again but very cautiously. 

Also my food logs have been inconsistent. Some better than others. I have grown to hate the ice cream bars SO got me because I read how shady and disgusting ultraprocessed foods are. Oh well. Planning for more restriction in my food logs. Every time I let myself slip, I slip hard. "Restriction" can be so demonized in general when it comes to nutrition but with people like me who are not good at self control...desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll go back to the foods I like best.
