Monday Morning Weigh-Ins
Good Morning My January Lovelies! It's a beautiful almost-fall Monday and I am wasting it stuck inside, strapped to a desk, studying. I don't think that I like school right now. Also, it could just be that I am extra grouchy because "the curse" decided to make an appearance 10 days early......are you kidding me? And of course, that makes the water weight gain show on the scale, so ...here's the damage:
Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 139.8
Today: 142.4....grrrrr
I hope that everyone else is having a better day (week) than I am so far. I'm grumpy and going to go back and hide in my cave for a few days. Make it a great week ladies!

Suz-
Isn't that where your weight is really supposed to be goal-wise? Are you having scale freakout? :) I'm right there with you. I still think I would look better at 125-130 instead of my current 130-135- but my family thinks otherwise.
My current stats:
Surgery 250
LW 134
TW 132
lowest 124
I was able- just barely -to squeeze into my little , sleeveless, just above the knee, black dress (cheap size 4) for Saturday night and actually had a lot of fun. It was a long 2 1/2 hours for the triplets to sit and they where soooo good!! I was so proud of them. Plus they looked adorable!! :)
It was funny though- I had to undo the side zipper of the dress for the car ride- the dress is so tight everywhere- especially the ribs. I did have a woman come up after and tell me how fabulous I looked. She said my arms look great and asked where I work out. I told her the Y and she said she was a personal trainer that hasn't been able to train for a few months and that she was jealous of my arms. Well- I looked at her little black dress and she had some pretty nice arms and shoulders herself. WOW- I have NEVER- EVER- even when I was thin pre surgery had ANYONE be jealous of any part of my body. I had to ask my husband if she was being "real". I cannot believe how far we've come!!! Who would ever have guessed where we'd be today?
I still really struggle with my pouch and if I hadn't had a soccer game and a birthday party before Sat nite- I would have made a trip to buy some SPANKZ type garment for my tummy. If I don't hold it in and keep my posture just so - I can really look pregnant. I did get a few- "I can't believe you've had triplets comments" which is always nice too- but the trainer one really made my month.
Last night I had a binge again. I couldn't sleep and ate WAY too much and almost made myself sick. Within a few hours I'd had a bacon sandwich with 2 pieces of bread, 2 peanut bars, 100 cal pouch of chips, 2 slim-a-bear ice creams, a rice krispy treat, a diet coke and then 6 oreos dunked in milk. These problems usually happen late at night for me between 12 and 4 AM. I'm really trying to work on this- it scares the crap out of me. I hadn't exercised since Friday and when I get off-track it's really hard for me to get back on. I think it started with the dinner Saturday nite- and I just never got back to my kind-of routine. I think I have to tell myself- once in awhile a celebration is great- BUT I need to start fresh the next morning. Has anyone else had this happen? I am very embarrassed / ashamed writing this- it happens more than I like. After I'm good til I get back to where I need to be- mostly by eating close to what I should and really upping the exercise for me. And I wonder why I have a gut? MORON!!!
Anyways- here's to a good week for everone- I'm back on track.

Oh Holly, your not the only one. It happens to me all the time. It freaks me out and I wonder if I'm losing it. That usually puts me back on track. I was unable to get back to the gym last week with Logan being sick all week. I hadn't been feeling to good myself. I am still having some swelling with my ps but it usually goes back down. I was worried about the scales this morning but hey I lost. I was surprised when I looked back to see where I was last week. That's so exciting wearing a little black number....hehe. pics we want pics....lol.

Yeah, it's really nothing that I should be bothered by...but...
I just don't like seeing those numbers get bigger. Honestly, a couple more pounds wouldn't hurt me any. I'm just crazy in the head.
Congrats on fitting into that dress...even if it was a bit of a squeeze. It's funny, I wear a 4 on the bottom (a 2 if I didn't have a belly full of jelly to tuck and mold) but a 4 would never fit me on top...my ribcage is way too big. It sucks to be out of proportion.

Holly - Thank you so much for being so humble and sharing with us your struggles. Trust me, I get those urges big time and I sometimes will cave in a little. After reading your post, I WANT OREOS!!!! But yes, I get like that. I usually go to bed late and it's when I'm up late that I really want to eat. I do have a couple of "sinful" snacks that I eat pretty regularly, but I don't eat a ton of it. (snyder pretzels) My feeling on this whole journey that we're on is that we don't have to stay away from that stuff as long as we don't abuse it. OMG that sounds hilarious, abuse the food!
I honestly think you look better at this weight. You have a great shape and like you've been told, you don't look like you've had triplets at all. I wish someone would tell me I don't look like I gave birth to twins, just one person. lol!
Were you at a wedding? I want to wear a little black dress : (
