HYC Update Week 25
Remember the 2.8 lbs I lost last week? Gone, all gone. Thanks so much, Mother Nature.
No tangible (or formerly tangible) reason for the gain, so it should come right back off. Nothing to do but wait.

Or, I suppose I could pretend I'm having a dress rehearsal for future years. What am I going to do a year from now, or two years from now, if/when a weekly weigh-in has a similar result?
Same thing I'm doing this week. Nothing. :)
If this sort of gain doesn't come right back off, or even worse, if there's another gain in a second week, then I'll start logging what I'm eating and look back through the little desk calendar where I jot a note about my daily exercise (aka The Cake Day Countdown Diary.) If I see a bad pattern, I'll break it. No pattern? Nothing to do, but continue doing the right things.
We can't control our weight. We can control our actions.
I need that tattooed somewhere.
Hope you all had a wonderful week, full of lots of healthy choices and great decisions!

What a great mantra! I need to commit that to memory. I've been losing and gaining the same 2 lbs. for the past 3 weeks or so. This week, I'm working out as many days as I can, and the scale can do whatever the heck it wants. :)
I agree 100%. There are weeks where I do all the right things and don't see any change. And then I have had weeks where I did more bad than good, and saw a big loss. All I can do is make good choices and be kind to my body.
So goes the way of our lives. Down a little, up a little. Doesn't the body know that we don't like the "up a little" part. Good Grief!! Looks like it would catch on and quit doing that to us when we are good.
Great idea....I say we all get it tatooed on our foreheads, just remember to put it backwards, otherwise we may get confused!!! :P
Your right, we can only control our actions and can't help those little gains here or there. Awesome attitude and its your positive attitude that keeps me coming back!!
Wow... that is an awesome line right there! I suggest you get it on your right shoulder blade... that's a cute spot :)
I love that-- I'm writing it on a sticky to put on the fridge!
Keep on keeping on!!!

Girlfriend, I am in the same boat. Ugh. Action, absolutely! We will take action! Here's to a better week.
Keep up the hard work! Your doing great!
I LOVE that mantra. I'm adopting it as my own:)
this whole roller coaster can SUCK.
(yeahIsaidit)
hang in there.
fantastic point on the actions (and the tattoo but we already knew I rolled that way)
Miz.
Sometimes there's just no answer to what the scale does. Hang in there, Have a great week!
Amen. The scale is evil and fickle. It's all about behavior and learning to trust yourself. You're doing a FABULOUS job of that!
Go Cammy! Go Cammy!
"We can't control our weight. We CAN control our actions."
I love that. I was thinking of having it tatooed on my forehead, but then thought it would make more sense to tatoo it on my toes (like LOVE and HATE on a scary guy's hands) because I seem to always be looking at them as they hop on and off scale boy's back.
I always know where to come when I need to hear something that makes sense. :)
He Cammy, Catching up on my blog reading. I haven't done as well as I would like the last few week so I decided to walk more and messed my knee up. I spent the day in the Doctor's office yesterday but I'm sure I'll be good soon. Your site is an encouragment to me. Thanks.
Where would you put that tatoo?
:)
I have weeks like that too and your plan is a good one. See what happens next week THEN start thinking about what may have changed.
Otherwise, you're still in the Biggest Loser club!
That would be a largish tattoo!
I love this (We can't control our weight. We can control our actions) and it's so true. I am working for another week with a loss, because it feels so good then all the weeks that I gained. I am just proud that I did not give up.
Keep on fighting we can't give up even though we want to some days.
Nice quote there..that's a good one to follow. Hope you get rid of those pesky pounds in no time!
sorry the scale was unkind this week! just give it another week and see what happens. but dont fear that this is a cycle that will just result in all your weight coming back on because THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN. I know I used to fear that too as soon as I saw a gain. but you are right, you can control what happens and I know you will stop that from happening.
You are doing great! That gain could be from anything. Like you said, you can determine your actions. The weight will come off.
Yep, we all have those weeks. Sounds like you've got the best attitude about it, though.
Hi Cammy,
You have a great attitude. And you've still lost 90 pounds. People's weight always fluctuates naturally anyway, so personally when I get to the point where I need to maintain my weight,I'm going to choose not a specific weight but a weight range that I'd be happy being. Maybe you're the right weight for you know which is why you had the gain; I think you are nearabouts your target??
Your reaction is much more balanced than mine when stuff like this happens. I have a tendancy to freak out about things like that. Nice work.
That ginger thing sounds amazing.
That's an excellent way to look at things. You've really brightened my night. :)
Yes, very wise! Sometimes the numbers just change, and though I'm sure there's a technical reason somewhere in the laws of physics, it's not something you've done or not done. So there's no reason to change what you're doing or not doing. :-)
Hard to remember, but a great mindset!

good perspective- I need the same tatoo...you'll get it back next week!
good tattoo idea.. lol.. our bodies are regular tricksters.. we think they should be doing one thing if we do one thing but more often than not they like to do the other thing when they should be doing the first thing.. so rather than feel imprisoned by it.. sometimes you have to let it go.. as long as you eat healthy and exercise .. you body will eventually get a clue.. at least thats what I tell myself :-)
"Remember the 2.8 lbs I lost last week? Gone, all gone. Thanks so much, Mother Nature."
Have you restricted your calories too much? Often people don't look for this because they are shocked that there is such a thing as too much calorie restriction. Keep up the hard work and the positive attitude.
i know you were kidding but I actually love the idea of a quote as a tattoo. Magan Fox has one that is s-s-s-sexy! Then again, she's Megan Freaking Fox, but whatevs.
Amen to that! Accept the things we cannot change and change the things we can. It really is amazing though how 2.8 pounds could just disappear like that. The nerve! It will be interesting to see how next week looks. One thing is for sure, you've go the right attitude. I love it.
All you/we can do is good choices, if we can, and you definitely do that! Sometimes the scale just doesn't reflect your efforts - you're still doing great :)
