Week 34 And 35 (Little Over 8 Months Out - 54.6 Lbs Down)
Week 34 and 35 (little over 8 months out – 54.6 lbs down)
Last week’s weight – 191.8
This week’s weight – 191.4
Total weight lost this week – .4
Beginning weight – 246 lbs
Total weight loss since surgery – 54.6 lbs
I haven’t posted anything in a while mostly because I am feeling blah about my weight loss. I seem to be jumping up and down the same few pounds and not making any headway. Headway for me means (1) getting to 55 lbs lost and (2) getting into and starting to work on getting out of the 180’s.
The lack of scale movement is definitely a “me” thing. I do well for a few days and then don’t for a few days. Example – Yesterday I had a great breakfast (Chocolate Slim Fast High Protein Shake with a frozen banana) and lunch (spaghetti squash spaghetti) but then I ate a regular size Hershey’s bar. I went home and ate a small bowl of chips as a snack, My husband made french dip sandwiches on a sub roll and I ate three quarters of it (should have stopped at a half – my stomach was protesting). After that dinner settled I had three Tim Tam cookies (way too much…I should have stopped at one…they are very rich). I barely drank any water (maybe four glasses total for the day).
Thanksgiving was in that time frame and I ate a good deal of pumpkin bread pudding with cream sauce and drank wine. I did make a group go out for a walk after dinner in order to help digest the food better. My stomach was feeling it.
I’m still going to Crossfit 3x a week and I think that has helped keep the pounds from coming back in too drastic a fashion.
On the non-scale victory side I bought a pair of size 14R Levi jeans the day before Thanksgiving. They are curvy fit jeans and I bought them at full price because I fit in them. I can get in most size 14’s (as in pull them up and button them but they are still snug everywhere so I don’t think I can say that I am a size 14 yet but moving in that direction. I am 5’5”).
I am dreading our Christmas break because I tend to eat and drink alcohol when I am bored. I did buy a refurbished Vitamix and am looking forward to using it (whenever it arrives….geez it takes forever!)
In an effort not to focus too much on the negative I underlined my positives over the past two weeks in this post just as a reminder to me that I am still making progress and some good choices.
Today my meal plan is:
Breakfast - Chocolate high protein slim fast shake with frozen banana (7 a.m.)
Snack – 1 oz of plain almonds (10 a.m.)
Lunch – Left over spaghetti squash spaghetti (11:30 a.m.)
Snack – Atkins Bar (2 p.m.)
Dinner – Half a French Dip sandwich with small amount of chips (left overs)
Snack – 1 Tim Tam bar in warm milk
