My first bad week!

Well, it's official... I gained 2 pounds this past week. I was pretty disappointed but I'm trying not to get too down. In the 17 (+/-) weeks I've been doing this, this is the first week I've had a weight gain. The thing that worries me most though, I'm still in the "weight loss funk." I'm tired of being in losing weight mode & am just ready to get to the maintenance stage. I hope this doesn't make it worse. It did teach me that if I return to my old eating habits, all the effort I've put forth will be erased and so will the 24 pounds I've lost. I don't EVER want to be that big again. I did great tonight though... we grilled out for my BIL's 30th birthday and I had myself a turkey dog & veggie burger! Of course I caught some slack (Kevin's family loves to tease each other!) but I just said I had to if I wanted to lose weight... then they moved on to somebody else :) Kevin did stick up for me (after calling it my "poop" burger b/c that's what it kind of looked like!)... he said "I guess if I would eat poop burgers, I could also lose 25 pounds!" Maybe posting this in sunshine yellow will make me smile & get excited to keep losing weight (hey, whatever it takes!)

So here's to getting back on track and praying for losing those 2 pounds this week (at least!).
