Sorry for being so quiet this week, gang. It’s been like a triple whammy for me at work this week. It’s fiscal year end which means lots of out of the norm work, trying to get caught up from having been out 3 days last week with the flu, and there was a launch this morning which always means lots of calls from nervous engineers/scientists leading up to it.

I have to admit that I’m very depressed weight loss wise right now. I stepped on the scale at home this morning for the first time since getting sick last week. I know it’s a combination of having been on meds (steroids & antibiotics) and succumbing to a lot of fast food & takeout this week, but it was VERY depressing to see that my weight is right back to where it was when I rejoined WW six weeks ago. It just sucks to realize that in 10 days I could regain the 6 pounds I’d worked so hard to lose.

I’m actually going to be switching to a Saturday morning meeting due to hopefully getting to switch my work schedule. Since I didn’t make it to my Wednesday meeting this week anyway, I may try to get to a meeting tomorrow morning (although sleeping in is sounding VERY tempting right now — ) and just make a fresh start. It’ll be a good time to get my head wrapped back around eating right and getting back to my exercise plan!

I have to say though, I’m starting to feel like the queen of fresh starts. It just seems like this year every time I start making progress with my weight, that something comes along and derails me. I really need to stop letting things sidetrack me from my goals! At least I keep trying though, which is a good thing. I figure as long as I at least keep trying. I’ll eventually get there. As the saying goes, “the failure isn’t in falling down, but in not getting back up again.”

Thanks for listening to me whine/ramble.
