I meant to step on the scale this morning when I got up to check on my progress, but I wasn’t feeling very well so I got up a little later than usual. Because of that, I had to rush through my morning routine and eventually forgot to weigh myself.  On one hand, I am a bit excited to see if I had shed off a few more pounds, but on the other, I dread it because I know (even though cognitively, I KNOW better) that if the needle doesn’t budge, or God forbid, points in another direction (meaning up!) it has the power to take me down and make me slip a wee bit. So perhaps my not being able to weigh this morning is a good thing. Hehe.

Seriously, though, because I’ve kinda been under the weather (I blame it on an unusually heavy menstrual flow. TMI, sorry, but since I’ve been talking about my PCOS and stuff anyway, I figured it made sense to put that here!), I have had to stop and take stock of why this may be happening. Although I still do eat regularly, I will not deny that I have cut my intake drastically, so I suppose this is also what is making this whole period thing even more difficult for my body to cope with. Maybe because my body is compensating for the weight loss already, it is working double time to compensate for everything else that is happening during this time of the month (i.e. hormone changes, blood loss, etc.).

So, in as much as I would very much like to take my dog for a walk today and do my normal hula hooping routine, I think it’s best that I give my body time to heal for a bit. Yup, I have been sidelined a bit for these past two days. I am hoping, no scratch that, I believe I will be MUCH better tomorrow!

Times like this, however, I kinda wish for a quick shortcut to getting to my goal weight! Maybe there is something out there that can help speed up the process??? I was checking out some blogs on fitness and I saw an article featuring various articles on diet tips and product reviews  (such as GenF20 reviews).  However, I do know that there are no shortcuts here, but maybe a helping hand wouldn’t be so bad, right? :-)
