Back to Basics Boot Camp
Frustrated and venting
Yesterday I ate under 700 calories (I measured and logged everything that went into my mouth.) I drank about 120 oz of fluids. I walked over 5 miles. I got over 75 grams of protein in. I did not eat any sugar or white flour. And I gained 2 pounds, how?
So frustrated. Yesterday, my goal was to do all clear liquids to start a pouch test, but I was so hungry in the late afternoon after walking so much I had to eat so I focused on protein for lunch and had some stir-fry mix with more protein for dinner. Makes me want to cry and give up.
I do see huge differences when I look at pictures; however, I don't see much of a difference in the mirror when I look at myself. I see myself as still grossly overweight and flabby. Yes, I have lost 100 pounds and I don't know how I will loose the other 60. When I get there am I still going to see myself as a fat blob, anyway?
I started working out at the gym this last week for the first time in years. I'm going slow (only doing 15 reps at a time and working out for only 30 minutes at a time), but muscles are still sore. I did go again this morning, but my heart wasn't in it after weighing in this morning and only worked out for about 20 minutes.
I realize I should have been working out all along and avoiding sugar/flour all along. Don't know how to get back to loosing.
Welp, thanks for listening to my vent. I need to adjust my attitude and get off my pity party.

It is so very frustrating and I know how you feel. I told my mom it's like my body holds onto every ounce of fat! Its truely cruel how some people can eat and eat and eat and never gain an ounce and we try very hard to watch every little morsel and still the scale tips in "fats" favor. Just hang in there it won't be easy but we will do this...together! I'm miserable when I don't eat my junk, my poor husband bears the brunt of my misery. Today he said PUHLEASE eat something..lol. I've been drinking my Isopure shakes and trying very hard not to eat at night...tomorrow is my day to start the 5daypt. I'm thinking by the end no one in my family will be able to stand me..lol.
Keep up the good work and the weight will come off....it's so worth it!!
