Ugh!! My Spirits Are Low :(
Folks,
This has been a tough couple of weeks. I was sick for a full week and I couldn't work out but one time. I have had an extremely busy week this week and could only work out once so far. On a good note, I just signed the largest freelance contract of my little career so that feels amazing.
However, I've only lost 2lbs since October 9th. It's really wearing on me because I am absolutely eating correctly and drinking a TON of water.
But.... I'm not sleeping. I'm barely getting 5 hours of sleep/night. I am ranting. I just feel like I know I have to get more sleep or else it sabotages me. Also, after not feeling so well, I am finally better and ready to get back into my exercise! I have a 15K to train for!!
So, just give me some ass kicking encouragement please. I will measure myself and take pics as I have just hit 6 months out.
I am still living life. Wore red lipstick today. Getting all kinds of fun attention. Loving my body but man, I'm not done yet!!!
Okay, first deal with the 2 pounds. Hey, whenever I'd get sick before I'd gain weight because I'd always eat through a sickness! LOL!
Since you're doing everything right, don't worry. The weight loss will pick back up. You're body has been fighting illness and if you're not getting sleep, it doesn't like letting go of the energy reserve. Try to get at least 7 hours each day and again, your WL will pick back up.
So you haven't worked out while you were sick. Big deal. Most doctors recommend you DON"T work out when you are ill because it is too taxing on the body. You need to put all extra energy into healing and ridding your body of the offending virus, bacteria, or staff.
Just get back on track, take a deep breath, relax and get some sleep.
Major congrats on the contract. That's awesome!
Tina
