Well, it's something at least. Not what I hoped for after that backwards rebound, but hey, down is down, right? It's really been a struggle, but I guess I'm living proof of all those theories about how hard it is to lose with cortisol.
That being said, hopefully it will be easier for me to keep my gym motivation, because my teenage son has decided he wants to go to the gym, too. He's not old enough to be there by himself, per gym rules, so if he wants to go, then I've got to go too. This past week was his first week and so I actually did manage to go 6 days last week but I'm getting a wee bit burnt out. I'm planning to do 5 days with him this week and maybe stabilize there. That was kind of why I was hoping for a larger loss this week, but I finally seem able to start lifting bigger weights again so maybe it's an increase in muscle that's frustrating the scale loss this week. I still haven't made it back to where I was before May, but I'm getting much closer and that can't be a bad thing.
I'd really like to build up some buffer though with the holidays coming... but that's still too far ahead for now. I've just got to stick with one day at a time if I'm going to make it through.
