Sick Weigh In!

 

Well it seems over the course of the weekend I developed strep throat. I came home from work early on Saturday and basically been in bed since today. I did manage to get to the clinic yesterday where I was given some antibiotics. They have kicked in and now I am feeling pretty good. Not 100%, but I am going into work today, despite what my husband thinks I should do.

My fever was so bad on Saturday that it reached 102.7. I couldn’t break it. It was the worst feeling in the world.

So since I have eaten much in the last 2 1/2 days, I wasn’t sure what my weigh in would be.

 

Last weeks weight:167.0

This weeks weight:165.8

Difference of –1.2 pounds.

 

Now hopefully I won’t have a gain next week once my eating goes back to normal.

 

PS this is the week that I normally see a small/large gain.

Emotional Weigh In!

 

Today was my regular weigh in. For some reason I wasn’t feeling it this week. I struggled with exercise. Exercise is important to me, for some reason I feel I am better on plan if I get exercise. If I don’t exercise then I feel that I am not completing and following my weight loss journey properly.

 

Last week:169.8

This week:167.0

 

-2.8 pounds.

 

The receptionist said “down 2.8.” I said “no way” even though I saw the number on the scale. I guess I thought it was only 1.8 difference then 2.8 difference.

I actually stepped on the scale again just to make sure.

 

So here comes the emotional part.

My leader knows that I have been coming for 2+ years. So we started talking about my journey with the group. It always brings me to tears. I told the group that you can’t give up, you have to keep coming to the meetings or weighing in. That I have never wanted weight loss as I wanted anything so badly in my adult life. I guess because I have been overweight my whole adult life and I finally want a change in my life.

Only the people in the room know how hard we struggle with our own weight. People out in the real world have no idea how hard it is to lose weight. It is one of the hardest things that I have done in my life.

Three Things Thursday!

 

• I am so proud that I have been improving my 5km run time every time I go out and run. I am almost 2 mins and 20 secs faster then my race time in July. I can feel my running improving every time I go out and run.

 

• My eating has been on track all week.Tracking everything that goes in my mouth. Trying to get my daily fruits and veggies in everyday. The last three days at work I have purchased a small bag of Dutch Baked chips. I don’t even feel bad about it. Because I have tracked it, they are only 4 points a bag and they satisfy me.

 

• Hubby and I are pretty much set to book our anniversary trip down south soon. We have narrowed down where we want to go. We basically just have to book it this weekend. We won’t be on our trip on our actual anniversary but I am ok with that.

 

 

Friday is almost here.  Time to relax and sleep in.

Weekly Weigh In Results

 

Today I went to my Weigh In. Had a pretty decent week. Stayed on track for most of the week. Track everyday. Went over my daily points 2 days but knew that I would be earning some activity points to make up for them. Then all of sudden Sunday came. I was hosting my Dad’s birthday bbq at the house. That is when I lost it. Desserts was served and I think I went a little bit overboard. I know that I went overboard I felt it the next day. So this week’s weight:

 

Last week’s Weight:170.8

This week’s Weight:169.8

= –1.0 loss!

 

I will take it. Plus TOM has arrived so maybe that contributed to my little loss.

 

On to a new week of tracking, drinking my water and plenty of exercising.

Weigh In results!

Today I went to my Weigh In.I had a feeling that I didn’t lose that much this week. And I was right!

Last weeks weight: 171.0

This weeks weight: 170.8

Equals: –.2 loss

 

Well at least it is a loss not a gain. I lost my focus this week towards the end of the week. My problem is when I eat something and I have no idea what the points value is. Yes I can guess but I just give up on tracking it.

I have been pretty good with tracking but this week I am making it my goal to track 100%.

Weigh In Results!

It’s time for my weekly WI results.

 

This week is the time where my body decides to bloat up! What can I do? It’s the way the female body works.

So I was expecting a gain!

Last weeks Weight: 169.0

This weeks Weight:171.0

Equals out to be a +2  pound gain. Not bad at all. Considering 4 weeks ago I was up 5.8 pounds.

 

I have been really focused on my tracking, weighing,portioning all my food out properly. If it is 30 grams per serving, I measure it out. If it 15 crispers per serving I measure it out.

I REALLY want to get to my 100 pounds lost, sooner then later.

 

Yes this week, I kind of lost my tracking mojo, but I still measure everything. But that happens during this week, I get lazy.
