Day 47 - Late Start to Final Week.
Week 7 - Last Week - Thursday, Day 47
7:00 am - 06/27/2019
Returned a day late so the final week at the weight loss boot camp is reduced by 3 days instead of 2. For those who emailed me directly asking what is/was the issue, the assumption was correct, Cape Coral, FL is where my mom lives, she is currently in the hospital. I really do not want to get into any more details then that, I have found out very recently that even with the amount of weight I have lost in the past 7 weeks it does not take much stress to get my blood pressure to rise, meaning I still have a way to go before I can safely say I am in the clear from high blood pressure related complications. Loosing weight is half the battle, learning to cope and deal with stress is the other half that I have yet to get a handle on.
On the subject of loosing weight and stress, the other reminder is how EASILY it is to pack on weight after someone has worked so hard to loose it, in the 4 days I was out of the program and dealing with my mom, I gained 4.5 pounds, about a pound a day. What makes this so frustrating is that I did not eat any fast food. I thought I was eating healthy, what I did not control was my meal portions nor did I track anything I consumed. This was the big mistake and a reason why returning to Weight Watchers with their meal tracking app and weekly meetings weigh-ins is highly suggested as a way to continue my progress. The other thing I did not do over the 4 day period was to attempt any excising at the hotel gym, I am paying the price for getting side tracked and ignoring what I have learned.
With everything else on my plate, I am still having right calf pain in the mornings, I am hoping the MRI I have schedule for next week when I return will either open or more desirable, close the door on the continued DVT concern. For now I have to keep my fingers crossed and pray my mom's condition improves and re-focus my weight loss efforts these last few days so that I can take home a plan that will be successful.
