Ta-Da! It’s a Big Fat Zero!
Hi everyone — I should have posted this yesterday, as it was my weigh-in day. At my official weekly weigh-in, I lost a big fat nothing. Nadda. Zero. Zilch. Sigh. I guess there’s some comfort in the fact that I didn’t gain either, but I’ve been slapping my forehead ever since. :duh:
No excuses. I haven’t journaled for nearly a week. And I’ve made some really stupid choices. Period.
So, rather than beat myself up about it, I got back on track at SparkPeople today and recorded every single morsel that passed my lips (and stayed under my calorie intake) and I filled the day with tuna, salads, and steamed veggies. Hopefully, this is just the jolt I need to stay focused. I will NOT give up!
P2G: 54 [-14] :bawling:
Two months!
Today marks two months since I took control, starting focussing on health and start losing some weight.
Today I am focussing on what I have gained (and lost!) in those two months and how I hope to keep going for as long it takes.
My jeans are falling off
I fitted into a pair of jeans I haven’t worn in well over a year.
I’m beginning to have a neck again
I’ve got one less chin but still a few more than I should have. That’s OK, I’m working on the rest of them!
I’ve lost 15 lb and something like 7.5% of my starting bodyweight (started at 14st 4, currently 13 stone 3 or 200 lb to 184 lb).
I’ve gained the ability to sit in front of the mirror in the hairdressers and not feel like I’m the fattest person ever.
slow but steady wins the race. right??
Hello P2Gers! I do apologize for having dropped off the face of the planet since my first posting. I had a job interview out of state and was quite sick with a yuckky (yes with 2 k’s!) sinus infection. I’m all better, but now my sleep cycle is completely out of whack. I guess that goes on the list of things to fix!
I have been focusing on cutting my portions. I did really well while I was on my trip, but it’s funny how so many conversations seemed to revolve around food. What’s up with that? At any rate, I know that I need to become more fully aware of what is going into my mouth, and thus into my body. I have had some success following a more balanced 40-30-30 eating plan, so I am working on developing some menus and strategies for moving back to that eating plan.
