Despite everything that has happened this week, I decided to stay disciplined with the Wed reports. Needless to say, all the weight I lost this week was due to breaking up with my boyfriend of 3 years. I think the bulk of the weight loss was in water loss from tears. I dropped 2.6 pounds and 1.75 inches. Overall, that's a loss of 15.8 pounds and 12.5 inches. I wouldn't recommend the break-up diet to anyone, but the upside in all this change in my life is that I did lose some weight and inches albeit not the healthiest way, but at this moment, I'll take whatever successes I can get.
Status report after the jump.
Because of the break-up I did not eat much this week. I couldn't. I tried. My body just didn't want any food. But I did eat when hunger arose. One day, I went the whole day having eaten only 1/2 a food bar. By 10pm, I realized that I really hadn't eaten so I ate a slice of left over pizza in the fridge. Again, it's not the healthiest thing to eat, but it was sustenance during a time when the only thing occupying my mind is the ending of a relationship I so dearly wanted to last the rest of my life. Food is the last thing on my mind.
One thing FitSugar reminded me of was drinking water. With all that crying, stressing, and not eating as much, I need to at least keep myself hydrated. I've been drinking lots of Smart Water. Perhaps because Jennifer Aniston is their new spokesperson and I remember her devastating break-up with Brad Pitt. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for Jen with all that publicity, and "the other" woman.
The only exercise I got this week was packing my stuff and starting the move out to my new place. I did some walking when taking a tour of the apartment complex. I flexed my muscles when I said that I want to get married and move forward, and I did lots of deep breathing so I wouldn't hyperventilate whenever I thought about being single again. That was exercise this week.
Emotions. I guess I don't really need to go into detail about what's been going on emotionally this week because I've been blogging about it. Right now I just feel like an open wound walking around, and I've been really scatterbrained. It's been to focus on much, but I'm doing my best.
