Ok, so I was doing really good. Tracking my food in MFP, tracking my activity with my Striiv (like a fitbit). I lost 18 pounds and I was really excited...
Then I got sick. Like, really sick. Stuck in bed for a week, went to the doctor for serious drugs, sick. For the week I was in bed I didn't track, but obviously I wasnt' good. FI brought me a lot of juice and a lot of ready-to-go foods (take out/frozen stuff) and I didn't move around a whole lot. I gained back 4 pounds. Of course it doesn't help that it's now "that time of the month" and I'm a little bloated anyway.
So now I'm about 90% better. I started a new job on monday and I'm commuting an hour each way. Getting home and cooking is a challenge.
Obviously I'm being a big baby and I need to suck it up and start paying more attention to what I'm doing and eating, but right now I'm a little (maybe a lot) discouraged. I'm stressed from the new job and training, and adjusting to the commute, blah blah blah...
OK, I just needed to whine a little. Hopefully now that I've gotten all my excuses out I can refocus!
