Thank you Seemyfeet, still struggling over here, 3 lbs. up from my lowest, I know when my monthly kicks in it will get a little better but come on! lol *end rant *, I wish everyone else better luck w/the scale, and I look forward to reporting my weight loss triumphs soon...
I weighed in this morning at 239. I also signed up for a gym membership at a women's only gym. I went after work and had a good workout- only 40 minutes but it's better than sitting in front of the TV.
I have a 16 year old and 17 and 18 year old step kids. Figure out what they love to do. Teenagers love to talk about what they are interested in like hobbies. My son loves the xbox.
And picking on you I would tell them you are not tolerating it. I know its hard to make a stand but so rewarding in the end!
Wed and still trying to get some housekeeping done before work in anticipation of the visitors. . Meal plans are, as yet, non-existent, and not remembering the guest's travel schedule is not helping. It gives me comfort knowing early summer fruits are plentiful at the grocers now. I am counting on finding tasty and nutritious pre-prepared items for meals and snacks there as well, as this RA attack has left me with limited use of my hands.
From spending time reading about the effects of sleep loss on depression, and of fasting on weight loss, longevity, and RA-associated inflammation & pain, deprivation is apparently the key to everything. I've also realized I've become not very good at deprivation. After a pretty good 2-day streak of very low calories, mostly in liquid form, I willingly accepted a 700 calorie take-out, but healthful, dinner from my well-meaning DH. Naturally, the scale rewarded me with a 0.6lb gain this morning. But I still think I am at the beginning of a downward trajectory.
I, too, am mourning the loss of a little pound this week. A N'Orleans jazz funeral is playing in my head. (stay away, pound, and take all your ugly, little friends with you!)
Seemyfeet.....lol that made me laugh. I sat here and thought hey a pound is better than nothing. I went 2 2 weeks of nothing. I think my body is saying, are you sure your going to keep losing this time???? Too much yo yo!
Tue and the scale is millimetering downward. Up/down in 0.2lb increments. With guests and traveling over the weekend, food choices have been good. I actually eat less in such situations, but with the increased stress, my RA got a bit worse. When conversations turned to running marathons or all those other things I cannot attempt right now, I managed to slip away quietly. Tho, it wasn't all that difficult as I'm evidently invisible.
