Total Loss for Week One: -4.4 lbs
Finally below 183. Let's hope this sticks! (I totally don't think I lost 4+ lbs though. I think that original weight was a fluke or it was a day that I was ridiculously bloated.)
I yelled at my scale this morning. Lol. Really, just 141.0. Can't even give me 140.8. Then my daughter and I had a good laugh together at my expense for getting so wrapped up in the number on the scale. I mean, it's just one method of measurement. While one stalls, others continue to change - muscle, bodyfat, arm/waist/leg/hip circumference. It's just harder to measure those things consistently and therefore small changes are harder to see.
TOM is back and I'm not feeling great. I think the reason I usually lose while TOM is around is I feel crappy and not really hungry. At least for the first two or three days. We'll see how the weekend goes.

Back up, which is annoying because this is my official weigh-in day. Thankfully all of my cravings have gone and I've been eating much better so hopefully I'll see a loss soon.

I have this all white party today - I haven't worn white since my wedding day. I went dress shopping last week and tried my usual 14-16 but it was too big. Went down to a 12 and it fit. I put on the dress this morning and I feel like (with spanx) I could've worked my way into a 10. I can't believe I'm wearing white.
Hey guys! I've been MIA for about a month again, but I am still around. Life has been crazy (isn't it always? lol) -- I gained up to 174, but then got very sick and got back down to 164, and am starting to recover now and am settled in the 166 range at the moment. I have left the overnights schedule as of last night because it just got to be too much with everything, so now I'm buckling down and refocusing on school and family for the next few months. As of right now, my husband got orders overseas (Korea) for this summer, and we should find out in the next couple weeks if he's going alone, if we're going to be going with him, or if we can get them changed. (It's going to be our daughter's senior year of high school this coming fall, so we're trying to get the orders stayed so she can finish out her school here.) Keep your fingers crossed for us that we can get that all settled! As for the normal stuff, my goal this month will be the same goal I have had for the better part of a year with all the ups and downs...to hit the 162 mark of a "normal" BMI. Setting my overall goal for 5 lbs even, which will put me just a smidge below. Maybe this month will be the one where I can finally break through that barrier, lol.

Total Loss for Week Two:
So I haven't posted for about a week. It has been a rough month for me so far. I started out sick, and then just got totally overwhelmed at work, putting in a lot of overtime, trying to get everything done by this last Friday, because I have Jury Duty this upcoming week, so had to have everything done earlier in the month than usual. As a result, I was getting up super early in the mornings, not getting enough sleep, didn't have enough energy to cook healthy for dinner, and went for the fast options for lunch. I didn't make the best choices this week because I just didn't have the mental or physical energy. Not a valid excuse, but it is what happened. At one point I was up as high as 198.2, but that seems to have been water retention. I do think I gained about a pound of real weight this week though, and where I was losing so slowly before, that set me back to where I was 3 weeks ago. This has also been the first time in a year that I've gone 2 days in a row without weighing in.
So I'm not going to make my goals by the 18th, and probably not my goal for the month, but at least I will be able to say that I'm back on plan. I keep reminding myself that it is a lifelong change, not a short term thing, and one week of bad choices isn't the end of the world (marathon, not a sprint). This week just took it out of me, and when I get super stressed, I tend to get depressed as well, and that makes it hard to stay on track. I'm going to try to take a few days off work either next week or the week after to rest my brain.
This drop is probably a little bit dehydration. Spent yesterday snowboarding on my work trip and we go hard. Lol. It was also windy and snowing, so I'm sure the moisture loss from a day of activity at high elevation was even more than usual. Still was amazing to see the 130s. This morning when I went to put on my bra it seemed gappy, so I pulled out my next smaller size. Fits perfectly. So it's official - the boobs are gone. Lol. Planning on the gym tonight, or maybe a bike ride on the trail. Depends if the weather stays ok.
As for the normal stuff, my goal this month will be the same goal I have had for the better part of a year with all the ups and downs...to hit the 162 mark of a "normal" BMI. Setting my overall goal for 5 lbs even, which will put me just a smidge below. Maybe this month will be the one where I can finally break through that barrier, lol.
