Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

Well, the Good News is that even with all of my off-plan eating this week, I didnt gain any weight. In fact, I’m the exact same weight, 197.8 this week, which means that I can officially buy my ipod, which I will order tonight or tomorrow. I’m really excited about that, but at the same time I’m also disappointed with myself about my zero lack of weight loss and my bad eating. So, I’m going to try to raise my cals again. So My new cal limit is back to 1400-1600, but only whole grain carbs, ie no white pasta, white rice, etc. I will however let myself have brown rice and whole wheat bread which I havent eaten in a while, and also let myself snack on lf cheese again. I think my body is in constant need for readjustment in my foods and cals and while I think the no carb thing worked for a while, obviously my body has gotten too comfortable with it, so it might be time to let back in some good carbs. We’ll see what happens next week with now being able to eat these whole grain carbs etc. I also have to be really careful not to go over 1600, and to make sure I’m estimating my foods properly. Even if I dont reach my grad goal of 190 by June 12, I’d like to lose SOMETHING by then. And of course, the bad news was that I have lost no weight, which of course, is better than gaining weight. So, on to the new calorie and carb plans today. And hopefully on to really conscientious and controlled eating as well.
