Today is 18 months since my revision surgery. Not much has changed since my last blog entry, so I will make this short. I am still trying to get back to basics and lose my regained weight. Today I weigh 130lbs, and this is totally unacceptable to me. I have maintained my exercise regimen thruout this journey, but have allowed head hunger to rule my eating behaviors, whi*****ludes eating simple carbs, grazing all day, and unplanned snacking. I do still use MFP and weigh my food during meal time. So I am now focusing on getting my snacking and mindless eating under control. I have decided to weigh myself daily and hold myself more accountable, even though daily weight changes can throw me into emotional turmoil. For instance, yesterday I weighed 129, and today 130. But it does force me to address why, and act on changing today, not next week. I will post new pics of what I look like today.

I had total knee replacement in 2012, so I understand the rehab afterward.......... It hasn't been easy, but at least I am not falling any more because my knee gave out !  

Today was a rough day. I ate some things that weren't real good for me but I didn't go over 1300 calories today. I know it's not ideal but tomorrow will be better. NO coffee at all tomorrow, I slacked on the water intake today but I still woke up at 192.8. I'm hoping all the nuts I ate today doesn't put tons of water weight back on me. I've been going through a lot of emotions and today I broke down and did a lot of emotional eating. I did do good because I bought a bunch of nuts to snack on and pita chips. I also bought enough salad to last me 4-5 days of lunches. I shouldn't be so hard on myself about today but I don't want to fall back into bad habits. I've done so good this past week i don't want to sabotage myself. I have a habit of doing that. I just have to stay strong and keep going at it. I'm going to plan my meals for tomorrow when I'm done here. It will be better tomorrow and I'm done eating for today :D I'm probably not going to be walking tomorrow because with wind chill it's going to be 10 below. UGH. BUT saturday I'm going to a wedding so going to dance my butt off literally to burn some calories Hehe I'm down 7 pounds ppl SEVEN pounds!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm not going to change my ticker until I have two days of 192 and I fear that tomorrow i will be back up because I ate so many nuts today and they are salty. Stupid water weight! Ok everyone thanks for the support. If I can do this so can you!!!

You sound really busy with students testing, yet you're still walking 10k steps a day.  I look forward to being stable enough to take some walks with my bionic knee (LOL).  

Good luck tomorrow on your weigh in tomorrow.  

From your tickers, you've done great with your weight loss having only 7 pounds to go.  

I hope you had a great time celebrating your Dad's birthday.
