Weigh-In-Wednesday

So, I've been bad about my check-ins it appears. I met w/ my nutritionist last week. She is seriously my therapist lately. Same weight...214. I'm happy considering I've had family in town and have been PIGGIN' out. I need to learn to control myself, seriously! My weight is the same for this week as well. I've got some things I'm working on. I AM going to the gym M-Sat (sucks, but necessary). I HAVE to track my food intake. I've been bad about this one b/c I thought I "had this"...sometimes it feels like I will be tracking EVERYTHING that goes into my mouth FOREVER. I've got to quit being so dramatic and just do it.

The realities of how hard this is for me have set in. I know my weight isn't changing a lot, but my head is. That is more important almost than anything. I mean don't get me wrong, the weight loss is the goal, but my head games are all part of the process. Boy do I have a lot of them, too. I'm happy that I haven't gained my 6 pounds back and then some! I'm hoping once I get over this hump that I will be able to see the pounds come off more. At this rate I'll lose all the weight I need to...by the time I'm 90! Ugh. Down day, but we all have to have them sometime. Thanks for reading my rant.

Weigh-In-Wednesday

Well, I haven't gained OR lost. boo. 214 it is. I guess I should be happy to weigh what I did last week. Bummer of it is, I really wanted the loss. I haven't been as good as I should, but I haven't done all that bad either. I guess I now know what I can truly allow to be in my daily diet and what I cannot. It's just frustrating sometimes, but I guess if it weren't....it'd be easy, right? ;)

I'm hoping with more sleep...I've heard that affects your weight... I'll do a bit better. Here's hoping next week is better. I meet w/ my nutritionist again on Tuesday.

Weigh-In-Wednesday?

I suck. Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I'm still on it, though! Down to 214. My camera is dead...hopefully I'll start posting pics again soon! I know y'all aren't calling me a liar by not posting pics...I feel compelled to for some reason! I think I'll post pics of myself every 3 months. I was going to do monthly, but I'm not losing rapid enough I feel to merit them every month. Thanks for checking in on me!

I'm exactly 10 pounds down from Jan 6th. I'm liking that. I'm officially 30 pounds down from when I got pregnant. Yay! Little successes my friend!

Weigh-In-Wednesday

Another one bites the dust! Down another pound, officially 216. I'm SO pleased w/ that this week especially b/c I totally pigged out on cheese enchiladas, these and these too. It was a great weekend, I just need to learn to "embrace that healthy lifestyle". So NOT doing that yet. Why does this have to be so hard sometimes?

Weigh-In-Wednesday

I've been bad about getting to this today! I even took a pic (I'll load it later) of the scale. Down to 217.2 Glad to see it...wanna keep going. I realized that I'm a little more "slow & steady" than I want. At this rate it'll take a couple of years! Hoping I can start to get some bigger numbers. Although, I must say watching The Biggest Loser last night isn't helping my want of those large numbers! Oh well...I'm going for realistic!
