Star - I've been worrying a lot for the past week (I'm a worrier) over finals, this stupid social situation that's been going on, and a few other things, so my assumption is that's why my stomach's acting up. Also, I wasn't able to sleep Tuesday night, so Wednesday I was dead, and when I don't get sleep sometimes my body doesn't want food. What sucked about yesterday was I got hungry at 8pm and had a somewhat large dinner, so I think that caused the gain. If anything, it was the food still in my stomach.
Stella and Star- Thanks! I needed someone to slap my hand!
Star- I havent been on the scale I am a little scared to be honest but I also dont think Ive gone off the deep end THAT bad to have a huge gain...but I dunno :/
stella- When are your finals? Hopefully soon. I get that way too when I haven't gotten enough sleep, it's like my stomach tells me to sleep instead of eating..
This is probably due to water retention from sodium and not drinking enough after I worked out yesterday. I'm going to work out again today (and drink tons of water) so maybe it will go away. Darnit.
stella- Yay for finals being over!! Hope your sleep is getting back to normal, heh
I was trying to avoid posting my progress today... but I saw pammy and stella posted theirs and I felt bad. Anywho, I weighed in this morning and I saw a number different than yesterday, but I don't count it until I see it twice. So, I promise, promise to come back tomorrow and post whatever the scale says! Is that ok?
Pammy and Stella, I have exactly the same thing going on as you ladies, a gain. Let's get through this together!
Stargzr, hope you get to see what you hope for on the scale!!
I weighed in Friday morning at 187.8, -1.8lb from last week and had kept that exact weight since Tuesday. Today the scale is up to 188.7, and it can't be because I have overeaten, because yesterday I went for a 1 hour 20min walk and barely ate anything (300cals) due to lack of sleep, being busy and a bad case of the nerves. I blame the overnight gain on a serving of bacon flavour crisps just before bedtime (chips in America I think). Aiming for low sodium wholefoods and lots of water today, and maybe tomorrow will be better
176.6 this week. Only lost a half pound, but I think it's bc TOM just started last night (thanks body, i appreciate it). Earlier this week when I weighed, I was 176 even. I hate retaining water!!! I'm going to have to revise my goal for new years. I guess losing 10 pounds by then is ok right? I just keep yo-yoing and it's so frustrating!
Lulu, take it one day at a time. Regardless of whether you're losing or not you're keeping healthy and getting closer and closer to your goal. A half pound is still weight loss. take it easy while you're aunts visiting, I've actually found that light exercise during this time keep my spirits up.
Seriously, someone keep me away from eating out on the weekends.
184.6 today. Stupid sodium. NO EATING OUT TODAY. I worked out for an hour, then had a sandwich and some pudding (I <3 pudding) and now I'm going to go outlet shopping.
Also, why did it take me THIS long to realize how amazing Lady GaGa's music is?
Stella - I LOVE LADY GAGA!! I didn't really start listening until recently either, but she is awesome! I just downloaded her new album and it is on constant repeat in my car haha!
Ok, I'm a horrible person for not having come in here on Saturday to post. I was so angry with my scale I just found time to be busy... The scale didn't say what I wanted it to say and in fact went the total opposite, which I don't understand because I was SO good on Friday! Anyhow, I went back and entered in what I weighed on Thurs morning since that was the most accurate. Showing a loss of 1 pound this week, which is good - I'd rather have some loss than nothing... but the scale teasing me with a 2lb loss isn't really funny. I gave my scale the what for this weekend.
Aside from that, I ate too many bad things (stayed within my cals) on saturday and gave myself a belly ache. Then made chili on sunday for hubby and that upset my belly even worse - I had chili at 1pm and couldn't eat again yesterday. I'm hoping today's weigh in was because of that, so I'll give myself a few days to level back out.
It's so good to see how everyone else is doing, it really helps to keep me motivated. So for those of you who come on here a lot to post (you know who you are), THANK YOU! You keep me coming back and excited for the new week!
Hope your sleep is getting back to normal, heh
