Stress (day 24)

Key Stats: Morning Bg 75, 4 shakes 1 bar no off eating, 1 hour on the bike in the afternoon

I went out an purchased a scale today. It was just driving me too crazy to not know my progress. I regret getting the scale already.

As you know if you read this blog I have been on the road for work for the last week. Being on the road changed my routine, and added a bunch of stress to my life. I think that caused me to not lose as much weight. For the routine change I was having to get up early to get on the road early while out. This caused me to shift my exercise to one time during the evening instead of twice a day like I had been doing. I also was making double shakes in the morning and night to avoid needing to make shakes on the road. With all that, I still lost weight, and there is nothing wrong with that, but just not as big of numbers as I was seeing, or hoping for.

With my weigh in today I am down to 300, which is a 4 pound weight loss in 10 days. That gives me a total of 24 pounds lost on this program in 3 weeks and 3 days. Nothing to be ashamed of in that, but it has put me into a funk. Or well it put me into a funk. I think I have positively thought my way out of it. I am going to work harder to get back into a normal routine next week. It will be a bit easier even though I am on the road again. I have to double check, but I think the hotel I am in has an exercise room. If not I will be going for walks as my exercise. Since it is Vegas, there will at least be stuff to look at.

I really hope I can drop a bigger number by my official Friday weigh in. If you look at the tracker on this blog you'll notice I have not updated it. I have decided that I will only use my clinic weigh ins as the official weigh ins. I still have faith, and I will work through this, after all I know that I can do this.
