Hi all! Boy, am I having one of those days!
First, I think my body has gone into rebellion mode. I think it’s been saying to me lately “Screw you! I don’t care what your work hours are. You’re going to sleep when and as much as I want you to!” Or maybe it’s my brain. I’m not sure. But my sleeping the past couple of days has looked like this:
Toss.
Turn.
Repeat.
In fact, this morning I went to bed around 5:30 am. I woke up at 8:15 am. I didn’t fall back asleep until about noon, and then had to wake back [ ... ]

Sorry for the quick post today. Thing have been crazy at work and our internet connection was down at home last night. Hopefully everything will be back up and running tonight.
I wanted to share my weigh in with you, though! I lost 3.3 pounds! That means I dropped out of a decade that I definitely didn’t want to be in. Not that I really want to be in the one I’m in now, but it’s better than the alternative!
I’ve also now lost 10.4 pounds since the end of January! I’m very happy with that because if [ ... ]

I hopped on the scale today to the tune of a 0.3 pound gain. Ugh. But seriously, how can I really complain about that? It’s not even a full pound! I know I’m not losing as fast as I’d like – or as fast as I did before – but I’ve nipped my skyrocketing gains in the bud and have proven to myself that I DO have some control over this.
Unfortunately, my weight tracking chart isn’t as pretty as it once was, in fact it’s got a nice inverted bell curve going on, but at least [ ... ]

Hi everybody!
Today I stepped on the scale for my *official* weigh-in and I’m sure the look on my face was priceless. I proceeded to step off the scale, wait for it to turn off, poke it with my foot to reset it, hop back on, check out the weight it stated and then repeated the whole process two or three more times. At one point, I even grabbed a big bottle of vinegar that was sitting nearby (long story….) and hopped back on just to make sure that it wasn’t just giving me the same total every time because of [ ... ]

Hi all! Unfortunately, I had a bit of bad news on the scale today. I was up 0.9 pounds. Blah. Oh well, it could have been a lot worse. And as Bearfriend said, the fact that I’m back on plan is all that matters! And I AM back on plan. I did decently yesterday and have done perfectly today. This is progress. Every other time I’ve screwed up over the past year, I’ve gone into a full-blown tailspin of eating frenzy. Not so this time!
I’ve been spending a lot of my time reading lately and trying to catch up [ ... ]

Well, guys, my determination is still in full force and it is paying off. I stepped on the scale yesterday (officially) and lost 2.2 pounds for the week.
The major victory, even more than the loss, is that I was completely within my points for an ENTIRE week. This is the first week I can say that about in almost a year. So I am very pleased about that. Hip-Hip-Hooray!
I have to admit that I was totally relieved. Even though I did everything right last week and knew that my weight had to come down, I was still scared that it [ ... ]

Excuse my language, but holy crap!
So I posted yesterday about how I only did a half-assed job this week of staying on my Weight Watchers plan, right?
Today, Tuesday, was my weigh-in day.
I lost 4.9 pounds!!!! Cue the happy dance music:
And not only that, this is the second day in a row that I’ve been completely on plan. I actually woke up a couple of hours before I had to, and felt like I was starving to death. My stomach was actually growling. Instead of grabbing a snack, I forced myself to go back to sleep. I consider that a [ ... ]

Well, I did it!
I lost 4.8 pounds this week! I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed (I know, I know – that’s ridiculous), but I really can’t complain. I’ve been completely on plan since Wednesday of last week.
I’m pretty proud of myself. Technically, today is my first day of the week, so I’m one day into my second week and still on plan!
I haven’t seen the Biggest Loser finale yet since I’m at work, but you can bet that’ll be the first thing I watch when I get home tonight!
We haven’t gotten as much snow here today [ ... ]

Unfortunately, my “Just Do It” plan didn’t go so well. In fact, I didn’t even make it through the next day. In fact, the whole weekend kind of went up in smoke.
BUT.
I DID do better than I had been. I did make some better choices. And I did get back on track the past two days. I even counted! And somehow it all payed off.
I LOST THREE POUNDS this week! Granted, I’m still way, way, way, way, way, way up from where I was, but it’s encouragement that I needed.
Lots of thoughts have been going through my head lately. I [ ... ]

The miracle (which, amazingly, happens to not be the two point PB&J) is that I didn’t gain weight this week! This is the first time in almost two months that I wasn’t up at least a pound! Now, I was up 0.1 pounds, but I refuse to count that as a gain. That is most definitely a maintain. WHOOHOO! It may not seem like much, but this is progress, people!
Now, the two point PB&J. I usually eat Sara Lee’s 100 Calories and Delightful bread. The kind I always get is the 100% whole wheat with honey. It is only one [ ... ]

I’m baaaaaaaaack! I lost 1.7 pounds this week! I’m definitely not going to get too cocky since I’ve only been back on plan for two days half-assed (Sat. and Sun.) and two days fully (Mon. and today), but I’m happy! That’s the first real loss I’ve had in almost a month.
I’m sitting here watching Biggest Loser while I’m writing this and wow! They all look amazing! Especially in their goal outfits that they tried on. I had a moment of re-awakening when I realized that even with my recent stupidity and the weight I’ve regained, I’ve still lost more weight [ ... ]

Miraculously, I didn’t really gain this week – I just sort of maintained. At least, that’s the story I’m sticking to, since my gain was less than a pound.
I have been doing a bit better. My eating is a bit more in control. Um, kinda, anyway. I’ve gotten down to eating several pre-portioned snacks/meals rather than just unlimited amounts of unportioned snacks/meals. If that makes any sense at all. Which it probably doesn’t.
But this is my progress graph according to Weight Watchers. Notice the upward swing towards the right? Pretty tragic isn’t it? Seriously, I’ve got to nip [ ... ]

Okay, unfortunately, I was up another couple of pounds again this week, but I hit myself over the head with a reality check last night and am already doing better. I owe it to myself.
Now, more importantly…….
***WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD***
Did the Biggest Loser tonight make anyone else a sobbing mess? The first time it hit me was with Max, Mike’s brother. Oh my goodness, that broke my heart. That poor guy. I can say that I know how he was feeling, because I’ve been there. I know what he’s going through. You already feel so alone being at such a high weight [ ... ]

So here’s the deal. I’m up 0.5 pounds on the scale this week. However, I am going to consider this week a success for a couple of different reasons:
The gain is less than a pound – which is a major improvement over the past several weeks.
I’m actually down a little over two pounds since Sunday.
I unloaded the rest of my bag of Starburst on my dad. I bought the bag before Christmas to have a couple of pieces when I felt the urge (couple of pieces - yeah right) and then couldn’t eat anymore because my crown broke. Unfortunately, I re-discovered the bag [ ... ]

As I suspected, I am up 1.5 pounds this week. Granted, it is quite a bit less than the gazillion pounds I was expecting, but it’s still not great.
I’m honestly not sure what to do with myself. I’m not sure how to get back on the wagon. It’s so easy to just say “just do it,” and that’s probably what the me of two years ago would have told the current me, but it’s not that easy.
I feel as though when the thought of food crosses my mind (or my line of sight), the rational part of my brain just completely shuts [ ... ]
