week 6: back on track

this week was a good week. i'm back to feeling positive and my numbers are back in the negative! which is right where i want to be.
thus far, it seems like this journey is one big roller coaster. drastic ups and fast downs. i need to find a good balance and start coasting. since i started slimgenics i haven't had a full solid 2 weeks of where i'm on plan and i've lost. i'm hoping to create this pattern starting with next week.
i feel like when i write these weekly updates on my new plan, and i've lost weight i'm thinking "that wasn't that hard". and i try to think if i felt deprived at all during the week, and honestly nothing really stands out. so i kick myself for the times i gained. but like i've put so many times, and i know i'll put it out there again and again, it is hard. i basically try to psyche myself out into thinking that i can do this.
although it will be a challenge. my mom is in town and visitors are my weakness. so i hope her visit doesn't disrupt me too bad. i have indulged a little, but i've also kept up with my workouts. in fact today i did a new class. it's been a long time since i've done a new class, but i've needed a new saturday workout since my hydro swim class got a new instructor that doesn't push me. so i asked around and spoke to a couple of instructors at the gym and i was recommended to try strictly strength. so that's what mom and i did today. it was a great workout. we worked all major muscle groups and did a lot of upper body combined with lower body which is always hard.
honestly i'm looking forward to the rest of the month, because i have some big mile-stones coming up, which i'll share once i reach them, and i'm looking forward to actually hitting them! i've realized that the more i get to talk about this journey and the changes that they are making in my outward and inward appearance the fears although still there, are dwindling. it's all kinda exciting.
