Another Glitch

I toyed, this week, with changing things up a bit.  Now that the week is almost done, I'm glad I didn't.  It obviously wasn't meant to be.

Anyone who follows my other blog "Making Lemonade", knows that we've been without air conditioning in our house since Sunday.

I have tried to spend as little time as possible at home, but along with that comes a need for portable food options.  It's hard to cart around containers of fruit and vegetables when you're going to be away from the house for hours on end.  The diet would have suffered, and I, in turn, would have come out on the other end completely frustrated (not to mention hungry).  So, it's probably best that I opted to cut my diet a bit short, and tried to stick with a good portion of fruits and veggies (which I did), while continuing with my normal activities.

I might have allowed myself some fast food for lunch, but that's only because they had air conditioning.  Yes, I might have also indulged in some ice cream, but it was for survival purposes only!  I won't say I didn't enjoy it, because anyone who knows me would know that it's a total lie.
My exercising has also suffered this week.  Something about getting hot and sweaty (or hotter and sweatier) and then coming home to a house that welcomes you with a blast of hot, stagnant air (rather than a burst of cool, refreshing air), and taking a cold shower to only begin sweating as soon as you dry off, just isn't appealing!  I was wiped out, and quite frankly, the last thing in the world I wanted to do was go and work out - it just wasn't in the cards!

So, needless to say, I strayed a bit from my plan this week.

Not to worry, considering the amount of sweat I created in the last 4 days, I'd say I've probably lost a couple pounds in water weight alone! 

I feel confident, however, that now that our AC is up and running, and life is about to resume it's normal chaotic rhythm, that I'll be able to pick up where I left off, and keep right on trucking down this weight loss road.

I'm feeling a bit anxious about tomorrow's weigh in, but hey, that's all part of the process, right?
