Wow, down a decent amount Thanksgiving week. I'm proud, I must say, and I earned it. I was *so* good all week.
You may (or may not) have noticed that I haven't posted much recently. I was getting very wrapped up in blogging, and I honestly think it was making me lose some of my focus. I know it sounds weird, but it was just a small mental battle with me. I took a week and a half off just to see how I did- and I got my focus back :)
Not to say that I won't be blogging anymore; however, it won't be daily any longer. I have a problem with comparing my success to others', and it was really wearing on me to have to post my tiny gains week after week, all the while other bloggers have kept their resolve. I have lost 36 pounds this year. That is awesome! And there's no reason why I should feel inferior because other people are also successful- I should feel inspired.
But it seems that taking a break from self-inflicted mental beatings has been good for me (go figure).
I hope everyone had as good a week as I did, and I will continue this success into next week.

Sounds great Jess. Congratulations! You should be very proud of all you have accomplished health wise this year, on and off the scale. Yay for Focus :]
ReplyDeleteJess, I think we all have to find that place where the blog is a benefit to us, but not a distraction. For you, that may be posting less. There is no doubt, you have done an outstanding job, and there is no reason to let others progress hinder your own. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteA loss during the holidays is definitely something to give thanks for...
ReplyDeleteLosing during Thanksgiving week is a HUGE accomplishment! You should be very proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteMost of us are lucky to "break even" after the holiday week! Way to go!
