-2 POUNDS!
I'm not going to lie, I do not feel like I earned that 2 pounds AT ALL. I thought the scale was broken. I weighed myself like...5 times. Called Justin into the bathroom to weigh himself to shake up the scale a little bit. Haha.
I was fighting a cold ALL week. Started on Sunday morning, and I'm still sniffling and a little achy. I told my body that I don't have time to be sick right now. Too much to do! So I pushed on through work. Unfortunately I gave whatever I have to Adalei too, so now she's cranky and sniffly too. Boo.
Continued to walk this week. No workout videos. I keep telling myself when school is out I'll hit them again full force.
I've been reading a lot lately on the science of weight loss. A study came out last week about the participants of The Biggest Loser. I think it's not that shocking to find out that a lot of them have gained some or all of the weight back--when you losing all your weight in a controlled setting, it's hard to do that on your own when you're reintroduced to the real world. What IS fascinating is that 8 years after the show ended, these participants metabolisms never recovered. They still burn calories at a slower rate than they did BEFORE they lost all their weight. So now they're super heavy again, and are having an impossible time keeping the weight off. Not only did I feel sad for these people (because I watch the show and find it very inspiring), but it just shows how we still have so much to learn about our bodies and weight loss.
9 days of school left. 32 days until I go home! :)
See you next week!
Current weight: 17.6 lbs.
