Sunday Weigh In

 Last week: 108.5 lbs

This week: 108.7 lbs.


Holding steady, but overall, I am down about 1.5-2 lbs from about 1.5 months ago. I lowered my calories to about 1200-1300 and cut out the Quest bars (Evil for me). Slow and steady wins the race for me. 

This is work, but the alternative is unacceptable. I have never stopped weighing and measuring my food, and keeping a food log. Many times, when people start gaining, it is when they have stopped doing those things.

Exercise could be better. I am consistent with the weight training, but I need to up the cardio a bit.

Good going, Gail....

I need to exercise...need to find something I can do at home, CHEAP...and not outside...I need to walk but getting ready is a major effort since the mosquitoes are HORRID this year...I go out just to get in the car and end up with 6-10 bites. So I have to spray me down to go outside.

 If you have cable, there are exercise channels. Also, there are DVD's that teach weight training and other types of exercise. Push-ups, squats, lunges, crunches, planks, etc., use one's body weight, so they can be helpful.

I hate mosquitos.

We actually have Xfinity cable...I do need to find out what is on on that one...as to the DVD's...need to find some at the thrift store or maybe the library.

 nahhhhh .....  BITE those   skeeters BACK  cmon grrl......

 140 on the lousy scale .  Probably means 155-160  in real life .    I'm not crazy about this weight but I can at least wear  super short flippy little mini skirts and high heels with abandon-  I have something of a waist and my arms are  quasi-acceptable ( not bare) .

I am really  rethinking this DS  but then I realize - I'm working PHYSICALLY   10 hours a day in 100 degree heat - no wonder I've lost some !  And I'm still 20 or 25  lbs over my best , most comfortable for my body weight  .

I was playing with the idea of just getting PS instead ( I have a good 2 inch pad of  ugly fat all around my torso and arms ) ...  but I  doubt I can keep the weight off with that alone ... and GOSH i'm sick of being ( and hiding )  FAT   and always  HATING my body .  Today I think I should revise to DS THEN get the PS ...  

Gosh darn it I'm WORTH IT !! 

I also will point out this is the FIRST time in two years I've gotten dressed up  .. because I HATE my overweight regaining hardly breathing ( and high blood pressured , high triglycerided and high cholesteroled ) body ...  I DO have a serious problem here and PLEASE  don't insult me by telling me i'm " thin enough " and should be happy .   I think we're ALL entitled to great health ( 110% )  and beautiful , outstanding bodies .   

I AM  beginning to think that no matter  HOW well U eat ... lowering a body's setpoint  over 100 lbs and ending excess food addiction  HAS to be a multiple-stage process .  I don't think I am alone in having a stretched out stoma (  my endoscopy SHOWED that ) and maybe I HAVE to fix that before  thinking of plastics or I will inevitably regain .. 

Just get back to basics first...

I waited until several weeks ago to put a ticker on my signature line.  Now the way things are bouncing around I wonder if I need to remove it.  I'm just thankful I can work from these numbers.  This weigh in is soooooo helpful.  I almost did not participate this week because I have been on an emotional roller coaster with some really bad eating this past week.  In spite of it I was able to maintain.  This weekly post is a blessing.
