The scale didn't move much in a week, but it did move, and it moved in the right direction. (This is why I know that I can't do weekly weigh-ins. The movement on the scale is something to celebrate, but my brain can't wrap itself around the fact that it isn't a "big" number. Sometimes I need to give my brain a beating!)
So in TWO weeks when the next weigh-in comes around, the numbers should look a little different, I hope. I certainly have not gone off of my program at all. Now, I was in bed sick for 2 days last week which means I didn't feel like eating, but that also means I didn't cheat because I didn't feel like eating! But, you have to eat to lose weight. It's one of those conundrums of life I just don't get but I accept! LOL
Anyway, I found this visual and lest you think I'm complaining about losing a pound, I am not:
Something some of you know but some of you may not is that I also struggle with depression. I think I've probably struggled with it most of my life, but it really came to a head after my mother passed away and finally, a very kind doctor said that he could give me something to take for that and that it was "OK", that I'm not the only one that has to take a medicine to help with my mood. (OK, this is a story for another time... I do have a point here.) So, sometimes, when I have weeks or times along my health journey (I refuse to call this a 'diet'. 'Diets' end. This will not end for me. I have to eat like this for the rest of my life.) when I am not seeing results like I'd like to be seeing, I tend to get a little down in the dumps. I do tend to turn more and more to my Young Living Essential Oils now to help me out, but I also look for motivation online. I'll leave y'all with this one today because it is one that keeps coming back to me, and I think it keeps coming back to me for a reason!
Thanks for reading!

I've only been on my "renewed" journey for 5.5 weeks now.
I LOVE the visual! Also the info graphic is helpful.
