the unskinny girl

I hit 212 this morning. This week has been pretty successful. I don know what I’m doing right? I keep thinking the scale is going to go up. I haven’t had my regular fluctuations this week. Which is great. I’m thinking I will be back up over the weekend. I usually am. I’m really wondering if my intake of extra calories on the weekend has actually been helping me? It usually works when I’ve plateaued,rarely does it work when I was bad 2 weekends in a row. I don’t want to push my luck though. I will do my best to behave. As I’m really motivated by the decreasing numbers. Ooooooh our house renos are coming along great. We’ve gotten soooo much done in the past couple of days. It’s so exciting. I can now almost visualize what it will look like when we’re done. I’m sooooo excited to see it when we put all the floors in,and once the painting is done. My mom and I are going to pick up the paint tonight. Unfortunately we can’t work in the house today. But I’m hoping we get LOTS done on Saturday!!!!

Sorry,didn’t have a title today. My weight is holding steady at 213. Which is awesome! I’m really looking forward to seeing that number continue to decrease. I’m not sure how my eating will be this weekend. We started working on our house yesterday. Got all the floors ripped out and and sanded the walls. To get ready to paint. We are going to be very very busy this weekend. With lots of friends and family helping us. Which means I must feed them and keep them hydrated. So….. Pizza is probably in order for this weekend. Which I’m assuming wont be a huge deal,since we’re going to be very active in our house. I also have many things up this weekend besides our house renos. Which completely sucks. As I just want to get everything done. I’m soooooooooooo excited to see the end result of our home. It’s going to look amazing!!!!!!! So excited to paint and get the floors put in!

Doing fairly well this week. I was down to 213 again this morning. 210 is just soooo close. I’m thinking I will be down to 212 tomorrow. I don’t want to get my hopes up. But I feel it will be a good weight loss week. Tmi-  I think i am expecting it because I’ve been poopin like crazy lol. Turbo mammoth- your comment on my last blog made me laugh,because my husband and I always talk about poop. Nothing surprises him at all anymore. The dieting girl is seriously obsessed with poop. It makes a huge difference on the scale! So why wouldn’t we be concerned about it? And I don’t see a problem blogging about it either. Lol I feel dumb writing TMI before I even talk about poop. Since I don’t think it’s too much information. I think it’s a very important,relevant part of life. Especially when your dieting. I think your bowel movements tell you a lot about your diet as well. Healthy poop,generally means healthy eating. With the exception of being on vitamins,meds,or medical conditions. My problem is prenatal vitamins ( as we are trying for a baby) i took a break from them this weekend and voila….. Poop! Glorious poop! Some people are seriously going to be offended or grossed out by this blog. But to you I say…. EMBRACE IT! It lets you know your doing a good job with your diet,and it helps that number to down on that darn scale!

So I had another weekend of bad eating. Like really bad eating. It hasn’t seemed to affect my weight too much yet. I was 214 this morning. So I’m up a pound since Saturday. Which probably would’ve happened anyway. I’m hopin it stays this low all week. I’m going to have to be really good for the next little while. I really want to see 210 in the next week or so. TMI alert**** I have been pooping really regularly today and yesterday. This will probably have a positive effect on my weight! Sometimes I think it’s good to switch up the routine. Your body gets so used to certain foods,and a certain amount of calories per day. I really think in the next week or so,of I keep up with good eating,I will lose more weight than I have been. Simply because it’s like starting over again. At least,I have found that to work in the past. We get possession of our house tomorrow. So for the next few weeks,eating will probably not be on our priority list! Anyways,I hope you all had a great weekend!

Weight was down to 213 this morning. This probably won’t last. But it’s only 3 pounds until I hit 210! Then on my way to onederland!!!!!!! Holy crap. I do not recall the last time I’ve been under 200 pounds. Jr. High maybe? I’m so close. The husband and I have been trying for a baby,there is honestly a part of me that just wants to see 199 before that happens. I will take it whenever it comes,but 199 would be soooo awesome. I just don’t feel like this has really happened. It’s been so gradual I don’t notice the changes really. I know I have talked about this before. Many times. But I guess I dont really feel like I’ve worked that hard for it? I have lost 67 pounds with almost no exercise. I do exercise from time to time. But mostly this is all a result of eating well. Which I know is a challenge in itself. I have for sure had my ups and downs. It has been very hard at times. For the most part,this hasn’t been this big emotional weightloss like you see on tv shows. I don’t like attention drawn to it,I don’t feel deprived (most of the time) sometimes I jut want to eat ribs and chicken wings. But I save those things as rewards. Lol I know you should never reward yourself with food. But I TOTALLY do that. You eat well for so long,it’s just time to indulge on things you love sometimes. I think that’s why I’ve been successful. I don’t deny myself anything. I pick and choose when I eat it. I was an anal food bitch in the beginning. But I loosened up over time. Which is probably why I don’t lose as rapidly anymore. But I’m ok with that. Lifestyle change right? Don’t get me wrong. I’m proud of myself. I guess I just expected to feel better about it? I love the highs of seeing a new low number on the scale. That has been the best part of weightloss for me. That,and fittin into smaller pants. Lol but that high I felt this morning hitting 213. Makes me want to keep going.

So…. I had to go to my cousins bridal shower yesterday,I totally did not go overboard. Which is a huge accomplishment for me. Oh there were so many tasty treats,I wanted to eat lots Of everything. It turned out I spent most of my time their chatting with people I hadn’t seen in a while. So I didn’t have time to keep going up to the snack table. Ugh…. My crazy aunt who apparently just can’t get enough of talking about my weight,was there. I tried to avoid her the whole evening. I ran into her,right as I was leaving. And she’s like “your still winning the battle?” um…. Yup. And AGAIN she’s like well you obviously starve yourself. No….. No I don’t! like seriously. I’m 215 pounds now. I clearly do not starve myself. I know I have lost 65 pounds,but that has been over a 7 month period. She goes on and on and on. I finally just cut her off and walked away. She is legitimately crazy,so I can’t take her to seriously Lol . I got a few comments from other people,but they were short and sweet. Which is fine with me. On to the weekend,and getting through this battle of my birthday. Argh! I’m going to eat soooooo healthy that having some cake will not be a big deal. At leat that what I’m gonna keep telling myself. On another note,we sign our final documents for our house today!!!!! I almost had a heart attack when I saw the official final bill. Lol soooooooooo much money for lawyer fees and extra fees for everything. I’m a money hoarder,so this is very difficult for me to allow all this money to leave our bank account!

Weight is back to normal this morning! I think the sodium has left my body,and aunt flo is starting to pack her bags,and go back to her home on witch island. Now,im going to be faced wih a bridal shower tonight. With showers come the inevitable shower food. My biggest weakness. I have very little self control when it comes to chips,dips,anything made with cheese,cream cheese,or mayo. It’s my biggest downfall. I’m going to be very very careful with what I eat today. I need to leave myself wide open for points. I know even if I eat supper before I go,I will eat just as much at the shower. So supper is out of the question today. I’m going to be mindful of my points at lunch. I think it’s just a come and go,really casual type thing. So maybe I just won’t stay as long. Then I will feel guilty because this isn’t just my friend. It is my cousin,who is like a little sister to me. So I can’t just show up and leave. Bah! I hate my love affair with snack food lol

No seriously. That’s not an excuse. I really think its broken…. Or needs new batteries. Every morning it goes to kg’s instead of pounds. Which is its default setting. So I’m thinking it powers down completely. Hence the reason it goes to the original setting. And I stepped on this morning,switched it to pounds,and it said 224. Ok that is 9 pounds up since the weekend. NOT possible. So I stepped off,it turned off and went back to kg’s so I flipped it to pounds again and it said 220. Still seems a little high. So I did it again. Back up to 224. So…. I will be changing the batteries and see if that makes a difference. I really really hope my weight isn’t really up and stayin at 220. I had a break from my diet this weekend. But I can’t have gained 5 pounds in 2 days. I need to remember I’m still on my period. I’m just nervous with what I have seen on the scale this week. This weekend is a long weekend,which is also challenging. I NEEEEED to be good this weekend!

So…. I weighed myself this morning,and I’m still up 5 pounds. However,I did get my period yesterday afternoon. Just as I suspected. That is usually a good 3-5 pound bloat. So I’m not tooooooo worried about it. I have been working out this week which is good. I’m tryin to lower my points a bit. I really should’ve saved my free weekend for this coming up weekend,as it is my birthday on Sunday. This means icecream cake from my mom. She is making me a twix ice cream cake YUM! I will just need to be cautious of my intake prior to the ice cream cake! I will have to be weary of my drink intake as well. We are going to be so busy in the next while. Our possession date for our house is may 23.
So we have lots of packing,and renovations coming up! At least I will be active. So this is a good thing. Im suspecting a big drop once my period is done. Fingers crossed!

So I decided to take a break from good eating this weekend. It was awesome to not count points,and be cautious of what I’m eating. I haven’t done this since Christmas!!!!! Well I certainly paid for it. The scale went up 7 pounds this morning lol!!!!!! I know this isn’t my true weight right now. I drank my face off and had very little water this weekend,and I LOAD of salty food,I believe my period is just around the corner as well. I’m thinking in actuality,I probably am going to be up 2 pounds. That’s ok. I’m set in my ways enough now,that weekends like this from time to time doesn’t derail me completely. I just pick myself back up come Monday. It actually revitalizes me. It makes me determined to eat extra healthy and to work out. I love that I don’t feel guilty about it right now. I know it won’t become a habit. So I’m feeling really good and rejuvenated this Monday. Oh… And at the birthday party I went to,people mentioned my weightloss and said I looked good,but no one went overboard! So it was nice,and I was worrying about nothing!
