Current weight 155.4
So this past weekend I did not post any blog. After a long week of insurance renewals at work I was stressed out, I was also pretty stressed about my diet. One thing I know about myself is I am competitive with myself. The constant watching my weight, stepping on the scale every morning was wearing me out. So when my sister suggested a girls night out at the Steelhorse, I jumped on that. I did stress a little bit about it, because the diet doesn't allow for alcohol, but I said to hell with it.
So out to the bar we went. We ordered our drinks, danced, had a few more drinks, then some more drinks and had a great time with friends and family. I know I had a few too many, but I told myself that I was not going to feel guilty (for some reason I have always felt guilty have having a few too many..weird I know) Then we went out to eat at Waffle House! I ordered a full breakfast, but then I ate only 1 piece of bacon. (sorry Sue, you picked up the tab, thank you). So the next morning I got up and felt ok, I could have still been drunk. Drank a tall glass of ice water, no coffee. Got dressed and headed out to pick up my grandson from his dad's and headed out to my dads. On the way to dad's I had to get something to eat, so we pulled into a BK, ugh fast food. I ended up ordering double cheeseburger, way off the diet plan. But got back on the diet as soon as we got home.
Sunday I didn't even step on the scale, because I knew if I did and it showed that I gained any weight, I would beat myself up about it. So I just went ahead with my diet as normal, taking my drops and watching my food intake. I did some cooking to prepare for the week ahead with food that is allowed on the diet. I really just spent time in the house as it was cold. I did take Jimmy up to the park, but it was too wet for him to be able to play so we walked back home. I did get some exercise in. I drank water, green tea, 50/50 coffee and homemade lemonade. Then off to bed. I also took a something to help with my IBS w/constipation..I need that often.
When I got up this morning I rolled right back into my routine and stepped on the scale, expecting to see the worst..a gain. But nope I was able to maintain my weight. I was not expecting a loss so I was not stressed out about no loss.
Now I am back on the diet and now to lose the remaining 15.4 lbs that I need to get to my goal weight in 3 weeks, but if I don't get there, I am ok with that as long as I am close. Once I get closer I know that I can maintain or even lose that last bit with the proper diet and exercise.
No I didn't take my measurements either so I guess when I get to this coming Saturday we will see the results for 2 weeks. I just know that my clothes fit better and I am happy with that, for now.

Hey - I was down 1 on Sunday morning, but this morning discovered I just maintained the weight from yesterday. I got past my desire for BK (which is my usual food of choice to soak up alcohol). It isn't wierd to feel bad after having a few too many, because I do too. Or maybe we're just both weird. I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI am very happy with this diet so far. I don't feel bad in any way; physically I am still able to keep up - as a matter of fact it's easier to do some things already.
I've got 12 more to go before I'm going to feel like I'm on my way, though, because I want to be 2 down from my previous low.
After that...first goal is 9 lbs away...then we'll see what I want to do.
Anyway...you are doing great!
I think that the reason I feel bad is due to the fear that we will become alcoholics. That and I always worry about what came out of my mouth the night before. I talk way too much when I am under the influence.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you are 9 lbs from your current goal. I am proud of you. I know that both of us can do this.
I am happy with my results too, because I feel so much better, physically. I am sleeping better and the acid reflux is hardly noticable. After living witht hat for so many years, it's nice to know I am not dependent on medicine. Soon I bet I can say I never have heartburn! The other thing I need to do is to get some pro-biotic stuff to be more regular and I will probably see a huge loss.
