Wow

So this has officially been a rough week. The good news is I've overcome my intense cravings and am feeling good about continuing on this path I've carved. The bad news is I have little hope for any good news from the scale this Sunday. The funny thing is that knowing how much I've struggled this week, I made it a point to go to the gym every single weekday and likely I will go out of my way to go tomorrow. And really it's not as if I've done anything really stupid like visited McDonald's or drank a soda. Just a few glitches in my food choices.

One of the reason I'm feeling so pessimistic about the scale is that I've come to take notice of how I feel when eating very well: light, free, and clear. Since my epic French bread episode on Wednesday, I've been feeling clogged and bloated. I've been trying to counteract for the past few days with steamed broccoli, kidney beans, and just this evening a new batch of pea soup, but I'm still feeling rather backed up. I believe this to also be a product of not allowing myself to get hungry before eating. Tomorrow I am going to take it very lightly and be sure to get in some exercise. We'll see what happens come Sunday. I'm just glad that I'm still on the right track and am fully prepared to keep going no matter what Sunday brings.

Here's hopin'!

(I feel like this is SO intense - like a reality TV show. lol)
