Set back

I had a huge set back this week.  I exercised one day.  I have been sooo sleepy!  I tried to do it on Wed because I thought that maybe exercising would get me out of the funk and give me energy.  That day was even worse!!!  I could hardly keep my eyes open all day long.  Then the same thing on Thurs.  But Justin was gone overnight on Thurs and I did not sleep all night.  Oh, I got in a few winks, but I remember looking at the clock all night long and only about half an hour had passed each time. 

So, it was quite a set-back.  Because not exercising gave me no incentive to eat right.  I am positive I gained about 5 lbs back this week.  I am thinking I don't want to weigh in on Mon.  I am not going to because it will just be discouraging.  But this is not a sprint, it is a marathon.  I will just start over and hope that whatever gains I had this week will be undone with my amazing efforts next week.  Right?
  
I will not whine and cry and make excuses.  I will move on.  It was one week.  One set-back.  There are bound to be a lot of them along my road, so I am going to just suck it up and move along.  It will be okay.  I will be okay.  (Have I convinced myself yet?)

I totally understand. I have had a set back, ummmmm, of like 3 years. Hopefully I truly am done having babies and I can finally get my body back. I have been working hard on the eating for the last month and am getting on track. Next week I am going to attempt the gym. You are doing GREAT Jenny. Just put this week behind you!!!!

Not to add one more thing to the whole situation, but why have you been sleepy? If there isn't a good reason, make sure you are watching your blood sugar, it being high can cause lethargy.

You will get back on track!

You can do it! I'm totally rooting for you. Cause if you can succeed then maybe I can too. I'm gaining weight at a most alarming rate and I don't know what to do. But hearing about your ups and downs inspires me to keep trying. Sorry about your tough week. Here's hoping this week was better than last!
