The Diet Break...results?

Well, the diet break has come and gone. I ate without regard to calories and gave my body a rest from vigorous workouts. I honestly didn't think I'd last the 2 weeks because it was hard to get out of the mindset of logging and worrying. But I gotta say it was kinda nice.

And to my surprise, I didn't gain much weight!! A little over a pound, which when I started up again came right off and took a friend! YAY!! So I am lower than when I started the break, only at 4 days after I got back on track. I say that is not bad at all!!

So keep on going...weight loss is not easy and you should be proud of every pound you take off, no matter how slow.

Love and hugs,

A diet BREAK??!!?!?!?!

Yep, you read that right! I am taking a two week diet break. That seems odd doesn't it? I thought so too.  It was suggested to me by my Beachbody coach and at first I thought...what?? NO way!!!  But I also did some research and found a couple articles that not only suggest it, but list the benefits. You can read them here and here.

Let me tell you, for a person who has been trying to have a calorie deficit every day for the last 5 years (that is when I got my Bodybugg) you would think this would be easy...HOORAY A BREAK!!  But man oh man, it has been really tough. Counting everything has become so engrained into my brain that I have still been trying to calculate everything. Never thought THAT would happen!!

All in all though, I think it will be good.  I am still trying to make sure I drink enough water and I have a bunch of projects around the house that will keep me busy that I have been needing to get done anyway.

I will be back in two weeks and gung ho again!!
Love and hugs,
Dee
