After a Break..

Posted on August 4th, 2009 by paperskin

Well.. I know things have been very sporadic on my blog.  A lot has been going on and I haven’t had time to write but I have caught up on all of my reading :)

This week I had a complete meltdown.  I don’t know exactly what happened but I got very down and just hid in my bed and didn’t want to leave my room.  I am attributing this to my birth control, so I decided that I’m not taking it anymore.  I’m going to make an appointment with my OB/GYN to get a lower dose BC or come up with some other ideas.

The last few days have been absolutely insane.  Even though I was feeling like crap, I went to the Coldplay concert on Thursday. It was amazing. They played alll of my favourites and they even did a cover of Billie Jean in memory of Michael Jackson.  After the concert they even gave us a free CD of a live recording of 9 of their songs.  It was great!

I did a lot of dancing and on Friday I woke up to an all time low of 175.0 lbs.  Friday was also my friend’s wedding, and guess what I wore one of my outfits from back in the day.  I tried on so many of my outfits from when I got married and I couldn’t believe so many of them fit!  I have a whole new dressy wardrobe again! Also, my friend Angela came by and dropped off some more of my old clothes and my suit that I bought before I got pregnant with Yumna and I never got to wore, well it fit!!!!

I also managed to do some exciting shopping.  I bought a new jacket and although I didn’t buy them I fit into some nice jeans at Jacob Connextion.

You would think all this greatness would inspire me to exercise and eat well, but no.. food wise I did so horrible this weekend.  We ate so much crap it is unbelievable.  We really need to get back to Phase I and reestablish some good eating habits.  My husband has also gained back some of his weight and he wants to re-lose the 5 pounds he’s gained in the last month.

So today I weighed in at 175.6 lbs.  I have set my goal to be 160 for September 20th.. but in the mean time I want to set some other goals.  For end of August I want to be at 167 lbs. I want to get back to eating right and exercising. Only down from here. I’m tired of losing at a snails pace.  I know from here the weight will be harder to lose. I’ve been carrying it around for the last 5 years when I got pregnant with Yumna so it may take more time for the glue to loosen up on this fat.

    Well, you ate “horrible” “crap” this weekend, but only gained .6 of a pound! THAT is something to celebrate! Your goals sound aggressive, but if you KEEP DANCING (ahem), I bet you can do it! Good luck, sweetie! :D

    Nice one with the wardrobe :)

    If your pill is pretty new I’d agree that’s probably the issue, my first time on the pill made me terrible sick and I had to change pills- I think it had too much estrogen or something.

    167 is my end of August goal, too. I feel like I’m losing steam… we have to keep up the motivation together!

    Awesome job on the wardrobe, by the way! :D
