oh gosh, has it really been so long since I last blogged on here? What a slacker. Truth is, we had an insane end of the week last week. Saturday we had two birthday parties and then loaded up our car so we could head to the lake first thing Sunday morning. We spent a glorious day there and the fabulous thing was we managed to eat super healthy the whole weekend and get some swimming in for exercise.

Then everything fell apart. I got the worst sunburn of my life. I still can’t bear to have anything touch my back four days later. I gravitate between nausea and extreme hunger so my points have been all over the place (no, I haven’t gone over, but I’ve either had 8 left at then end of the day, or used my daily points plus flex other days.) So yesterday for the end of the challenge I was actually up 1.2 pounds over the week before.

I’m not going to beat myself up about it though because that’s just counter productive. I’m already in enough pain! And I know that not exercising is also thwarting my weight loss efforts, but it just hurts too much to try and do anything. So for now I’ll have to let my skin heal and double my efforts next week.
