I’ve been at this for almost a year! Wow!
Okay, so I have put off posting stuff from my trip for long enough. I did do my weigh-in last Friday as I had planned although I had to do so with wet hair and while wearing clothes, so the number was so high that I really can’t trust what the scale said. However, I also checked my weight in my normal manner the morning that we left for our trip – which is two days before my normal weigh-in – and it was 149.6 which leaves me with an even wash from the week before. Given that I have been in maintenance mode, I am going to use that for my official record.
However, I am up, up, up for this week. It’s bad and I know it. With my long weekend away, rehearsal dinner pizza, wedding food, gift opening munchies, and even a birthday party to boot all taking place this week, it’s no surprise to learn that I am 153.8 as of this morning.
I am walking a fine line between being really okay with that and starting to freak out. I think I just need to get back on track now that we are into August and my hectic schedule is finally starting to settle a bit more, and then I will genuinely feel okay about where I am at. At this point, the results I can take or leave; making the effort is what makes me happy and feel accomplished.

It will go back down again, so don't freak. I have been a bit worried about the number of sweets you have listed...7 cookies...stuff like that. How about 1 cookie a day? The larger amounts of sweets have just had me concerned.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing...our hero. Well over 100 pounds in a year. Unreal. I wish I had made it to 100 pounds down in a year...I have a few more more weeks.
Your awesome!! You will get back on track!! I read your post everyday and look at your before and after pictures and the results are truly amazing. VERY INSPIRATIONAL!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think there will always be times in our life where our weight will go up - life happens and we can enjoy those special foods that we don't have very often. I think the key is to get back on track, somewhat strictly, until the numbers are back in the zone we want to maintain at. When I am at the maintenance point, I know there will be times like Christmas or on vacation where my weight will go up and I'm ok with it - as long as I get back on track.
ReplyDeleteYou have done so amazingly well!! Congrats for being where you are at!!
I haven't commented on your journal before and I have a weight loss journal that I'm not brave enough to open up for public vieweing yet. I wanted to comment today to tell you not to get down on yourself for the gain you've had. With all the special events you've had going on recently, I think a 4.2lb gain is pretty darn good! You'll have that back off in no time! Keep up the awesome work you've been doing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dawne...all you really need to do girl is cut back on the sweets. I think the only reason they stand out to me when I read your food list is because I'm diabetic, so sugar is basically poison to me...that's why I had to pretty much cut out the Cokes. I used to drink 3 a day, every day, without fail. Now I have a sip or two of one of Dwayne's Cokes on the weekend. Just cut out some of the sugar and you'll have no problem getting back on track and maintaining your AWESOME weight loss! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you're on top of it, right? Now's the time to get back on track, and you'll see that number go down quickly...
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome, valid comments! Thank you all so much for your insights and thoughtful remarks. I am very lucky to have you all rooting for me!
