Well at least it's a loss, right?

Weekly weigh-in was today. I lost 1.4 lbs. I wish it were more but I've said this before...even at a pound a week, I could be under 200 lbs. by this time next year. AF *should* be here tomorrow so that might explain the low loss this week.

So...anyway...total weight loss since 4/7/10 is 7.7 lbs. :)

Wow! That didn't last very long.

I'm off of low-carb and back on Weight Watchers as of today. I didn't do terrible on low-carb but I could feel myself headed toward a binge so I decided to go back on WW and give it my full efforts. I do feel bad for deserting Matt but he just wants me to do whatever makes me happy and works for me. He is not low-carbing long-term. Just long enough to get his holiday pounds off and then he'll probably go on WW with me.

I had a great weigh-in this morning! :) I lost 4 lbs. (well, 3.9 to be exact but I'm saying 4) since last week. Yippee!!! That puts me at 240.5 lbs. (boo!). I'm back to shooting for a one pound weight loss per week, which is completely do-able if I stick to my guns, which I fully plan on doing.

Don't be surprised if you don't "see" me here this week. I only posted today because I wanted to share my weigh-in and let you know that I changed my mind yet again on my eating plan. I have a ton of homework to get finished up this week, as well as study for and take my finals. This Business Algebra class is kicking my ass. I still have two assignments and a quiz to take before I can even think about studying for the final, which is on Thursday. I don't know if I mentioned it but with this class, you can't move on to the next lesson until you've mastered the one before it so that's why I'm behind...plus I suck at math. As far as my Microeconomics class goes, I've got my final project to finish up as well as to study for and take the final. I will be surprised if I don't end up having to take Wednesday off to finish up homework and study for both exams.

Needless to say, I'm having near panic attacks because I feel like I have so much to do and not enough time. I CANNOT wait until this weekend so I can take a breather!

I know, I know. I suck.

I debated about even posting on here since I feel like I always doom myself to failure when I do. Plus, I really, really hate having people see me fail miserably, even if it just cyberspace. But, I'm doing it anyway...putting myself out there.

I think I said awhile back that I was going back to low-carb since I am desperate to drop some weight quickly before vacation. I decided against it. What made me change my mind, you ask? Just the thought of low-carbing made my binge eating OUT OF CONTROL and I could not bring myself to start back again because it made me so depressed.

What did I learn out of all of this? That I am doomed to continue failing unless I choose a plan and stick with it. A plan that is more realistic and easier to adhere to with my on-the-go lifestyle. So...I'm back on Weight Watchers. I'm doing the on-line program and trying it for free for a week. If I like it (which I think I will), I'm going to continue using it and doing the program.

I also learned that I have got to taper down the margaritas. Even with my good eating throughout the week, I sabotage all of my efforts on the weekend when I enjoy my tasty adult beverages. I still have the Baja Bob's margarita mixes at home and so I may try those when I want one.

Getting rid of my too big clothes was the best thing I ever did too. Since I don't have anything bigger in my closet, my clothes are tight and uncomfortable and that's definitely a good motivator for me. Plus, I feel like crap. I'm tired all the time, bloated, grouchy, and my back hurts. I can't believe that my back started hurting again and that my acid reflux started acting up again with the gain of only 8 lbs.

My starting weight is 232.2 lbs. as of this morning. I'll let you know how it goes.

I apologize...yet again for letting you all down. I'm officially dusting myself off today and trying this thing again. :)

Weekly weigh-in

Down another .5 lbs. Not much of a loss, but it's a loss nonetheless. Considering the week I've had with my illness, and not-so-good eating, I'll take it!

Stay tuned this weekend. I am purging my really big clothes and taking pictures. :)

Weekly weigh-in

I maintained.

I guess that's better than gaining considering the cough drops I've been eating like candy, the nightly bowls of cereal, and then the 1/2 bag of chocolate covered peanuts I ate yesterday. (shh about the last one...Matt will kick my butt)

I'm going to try to give it a good go next week since I really want to get back into the 220s soon as well as my size 18W pants.

Being sick sucks because all I want to do is eat comfort food. I haven't been overeating...just not making good food choices.

Better luck next week.
