It was inevitable, I suppose. This week I didn’t lose weight, and in fact, gained a pound. It was the attack of the Easter ham that did me in. I cooked Easter dinner for my family and a couple of friends and between the ham, which we rarely indulge in, and all the fixin’s, I overindulged.
The numbers:
Weight: 140 lbs (up 1 lb)
Fat Percentage: 27.0 (unchanged)
BMI: 23 (unchanged)
I have to confess that I was very nervous about this week’s weigh-in. I knew that I had gained weight (only a half pound by my scales). And I wasn’t sure what sort of reaction that would garner. In other weight loss programs with a weekly weigh-in, any gain would be met with negativity or consternation. And in some cases having to pay money.
But I was relieved that Dr. Laffey was so positive and encouraging. She assures me that the salt in the ham and other foods affected my weight and that it was only a temporary setback. Life happens and weight loss isn’t always a straight line downward, she reminded me. The main thing is to keep pushing ahead and don’t give up.
So that’s exactly what I’ll do. I’m soooooo close to my goal. There’s no way I’m giving up, especially with summer just around the corner and...swimsuits. Yikes!
Time for Zumba!
