Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

the scale can be frusterating

Posted by: travelgal In: General

my scale can be and is really frusterating.

1) on a general note, I had my weigh in today and was only down a few ounces. barely nothing. even though i was expecting it, due to not exercising much this week and not tracking so much on the weekend, it still felt yucky to not even go down a pound. but, it really shows me how much my 5-6 days of exercise a week is important, and so if my stringent tracking, even on the weekends.

2) my scale is incredibly frustrating. it doesnt seem entirely accurate because my weight reading can change depending on if I change the location of the scale. also, i live in a carpeted room so I usually have to go take my scale to a hard floor on the day of my official weigh in to see what’s what. and still it kind of varies. i wonder if should get a new scale or not. hmm.

3) My mini goal is for 2 weeks from now, and basically I still need to lose a little less than 5 pounds. It will definitely be a challenge to reach it, but I really hope I can. I guess I’ll really have to be super food cautious this coming week and also really hit the gym as much as i can to make up for this not loss. blah, this is annoying

Breakfast: 1/2 cup of kashi (70) and one clementine (25)-total 95

Lunch: (had a biggish lunch today cuz I know my dinner is smallish): chicken souvlaki (250), rice (200), pita (130)- Lunch total: 580

Snack: 100 cal oreo pack (100) and some almonds (70) total 170

Accidental candy binge: 1 fun size snickers (100), 1 reese’s PB cup (80), 2 starburst (40)-220 cal. ugh, my friend keeps a lot of candy in her room and everytime i go in there im able to exercise this incredible self control and not take any. but, ive been in a slightly grouchy mood today due to the weigh in, and some other lame issues, and i took it out on myself. but, i guess a step in the right direction is that i decided to honestly report the entire calorie binge. well time to get back on the wagon. and i felt really sick after eating that candy and it didnt taste very good. so hopefully i’ve learned my lesson.

Dinner: 6inch subway sandwhich turkey on wheat with provolone-330

snacks (i lost some semi self control, eww, i know): some almonds (45), 100 pack of cheetos (100) and 1 spoonfull of jiff peanut butter (60)-total 205…well this sucks. i mean luckily my binges have been nothing crazy, but its still off plan and sucks. anyways i hope for much more selfcontrol and willpower tomorrow. except i have a party in the evening…great.

Total Calories eaten today: 1600 (highest ive been in a really long time…ugh failure on my part)

ugh lame day. i think im gonna order some books on amazon that looked like they’d have some good tips and motivational stories but no diet plans. i think i’ll order those tonight. and maybe a tape measure

sometimes you need some extra calories. 1600 is nothing major. it’s not like you’re at 3000- i’ve also heard that calorie variation can be beneficial for your metabolism. in any case, don’t beat yourself up, just keep truckin’!
