Walked today for the first time, and I used my brand new skechers shape thingies, and I have to say I am happy with that purchase. One foot felt kinda off, but it does say it takes some getting used to.
After being stuck for a while around the 225 area… ( I swear if my scale ever EVER says 226 again I will FREAK out)… I weighed myself today and it said 219. Wooot! I don’t post weigh in’s until Saturday, but if this weight holds I am at 47 lbs lost since May 1st. 17.6% of my total weight gone. I am SO happy to see the 2teens. So So So happy. 3 more pounds (I think) until I have lost my whole 10 year old. Okay so she is tiny, but tell that to whoever is trying to carry her to bed at night. HEAVY!
Hope to keep walking, I may have to learn to go on my own instead of depending on my sister to go with me every day. She’s a working woman now and I don’t think she will feel like going every day.
So I lost a pound this week. Still don’t understand the slow down, but oh well. I’ll see how it goes after another month I think, and then maybe try to re-evaluate my eating plan. Right now I stick to about 1200 to 1400, with most days a little over 1300. This week my food has been pretty good, compared to what I am used to. My fiber has been a lot higher and stuff. It didn’t make much of a difference though.
I wonder if I should just go with 1776 like the free dieting website says. That makes me nervous, but what’s the worse that could happen? Not lose? Big deal. Not like I am in a hurry… and I find it hard to believe that I would gain on 1776 calories a day. I think I might think it over….
My sister has been giving me her clothes she outgrows. Most of them don’t/didn’t fit when she gave them to me, so I wrote little notes and stuck them in my pocket with my weight and the dates on them. I tried on the first one today and put them on, zipped them up and then looked at the note. It said 233, can’t zip. WOAH! I was totally wearing them, although they are a little too low for my liking. All in all I think that I can wear 3 of the 6. One had a broken zipper I didn’t know about too. So I threw them out. (I don’t sew). Then I went through my shirts and with MIL’s help I got rid of a LOT of shirts. I am a t-shirt gal, and most of them hang off me, not cute at all. I gotta do some serious ebay posting with all the clothes I have taken out of my closet. I would like to get new clothes, but I suppose I will wait until winter since I don’t really need summer-y types.
I lose 44 lbs, and NOW I break a chair. Cute… real cute.
I weighed in at 223.something. Why have I slowed down soooo much? Oh well, half a pound is much better than nothing.
Wow I can’t believe I have been at this for 15 weeks already. Weighed in today at 223.8. That’s okay considering I have been stuck around 225 and 226 for what seems like ever!
I started smoking again yesterday. You notice no one ever tells you when they start smoking, only when they quit? Well I started. I know I shouldn’t have, but without cigarettes there is a void I can’t help but fill… and I was filling it with food, no matter what I tried. If I gain back my 43 lbs that will destroy me. That would be 3 and a half months wasted. If I gain 20 back I would be at 240-something. If I quit March 20 I should be lighter and a gain if any wont be so horrific. I know that is the addict or junkie coming up with these rationalizations but it is what it is.
Going to start calorie cycling today to see if it helps lose a little quicker. I’m losing an okay amount, but there have been a few weeks with no loss and I really hate that.
Daughter’s birthday is tomorrow. No idea what she wants for her birthday dinner. She keeps going back and forth between spaghetti and corn dogs. I think all she really cares about is the cake anyway.
Losing very slowly. Actually as of today I am up 2 pounds from last weigh in. Weaksauce. I don’t know what the deal is, I am on plan.
Quit smoking yesterday, so far so good. It isn’t nearly as horrible as it was last year when I tried with zyban. This time I am using the patch and gum when necessary. I even go outside and smash the long butts my Mother in Law leaves laying around.
Last year I stared at the wall for 3 days and finally gave in and smoked on the 4th day. I am pretty sure I am going to stay quit this time. Waking up to a 2 pound gain didn’t make me smoke this morning, I don’t think anything could be worse than that!
Quitting makes me lightheaded and kinda ditzy. From what I understand it is from blood cells rapidly expanding and repairing themselves… don’t know how true that is but if this is an incoherent mess, that is why.
