Back to basics!

Starting Weight: 298.2 pounds
Last Recorded Weight: 197.2 pounds
Today’s Weight: 194.0

That’s a loss of 3.2 pounds since February 18. It’s my lowest weight to date and well outside of my latest maintenance range! I’m going to say that I’m finally losing weight again; I’ll share what I’ve been doing soon.

I did weigh in yesterday! I lost 1.2 pounds in two weeks! I’ll take it, as always :)

I had a .1 cc unfill today. I CAN DRINK WATER! It’s amazing. I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I’ve really been able to eat without stress and now I’m struggling not to eat everything I see. Fortunately, I’m on a softish-food diet for a few days, so that limits my options a bit.

Chocolate’s still in, though :)

Dude, look at me continue to yoyo! But really, I’m not going to get upset by .4 pounds gained.

Here’s why:

• This is the 4th week in a row I have weighed in at less than 200 pounds.
• I’m starting to actually feel my muscles when I run my hands over my arms, upper legs, and derriere.
• My clothes are fitting differently. This one’s kind of hard for me to track because my clothes have all been so big on me for a while, but I noticed that a pair of pajama pants I hadn’t worn in several weeks were baggy all over; they were a little tight around my abdomen before.
• Some of my food decisions are still kind of out of line. I’m going to continue as I have been for the next week and a half or so, but after that it’s on. (Why not just start now? I have a lot going on and I don’t want to stress myself out. I’m not giving myself permission to eat six chocolate bars every day, but I AM giving myself permission to chill out about my food choices for just a little bit longer.)
• I am awesome.

Working out is going really well. I do better on some days than others–I’ve noticed that Wednesdays are generally more difficult for me than Saturdays. I had a super hard time yesterday (I haven’t been sleeping well; I’d only had coffee, a few bites of steak salad, and a cupcake to eat before my appointment; I was processing some upsetting information from a friend) and was close to tears five or six times. There was also a moment when Morgan and I both kind of thought I was going to pass out. It was cool.

I get frustrated with myself, my lack of coordination, and my lack of strength. But when I stop to think about how far I’ve come in 11 sessions, I realize how amazing my body is. When I remember that my brain is relearning how to process how my body CAN move and how it fits in the world, it becomes even more remarkable.

I am so proud.

The good: I maintained!! I worked out with my trainer twice!! My body is amazing!!

The bad: I didn’t lose and am still floating in that same range I’ve been in for a while. Also, my band has been temperamental lately.

The ugly: I could not get unhungry Monday. I started the day off by eating well and lasted until late afternoon, when I said, “Screw this, let’s order pizza!!” Also, Coldstone and I may have had an encounter or two this week. Gotta cut back on that.

Up 4.4 pounds. EEEK!

Now, not all of that is fat. I did strength training for the first time in a while yesterday and I’m really sore today. I think my muscles are holding onto water to help them repair. I drank well over 100 ounces of fluid yesterday and I know very well that 100 ounces did not pass through my body over the last 36 hours or so.

Eating hasn’t been going so great. Honestly, I’m really pissed off at my whole food situation. I’m tired of thinking about what to eat and trying to walk the lines between what I can eat and what the Boy will eat and what’s easy to cook. Nothing sounds very good and nothing tastes that good. If I could NOT eat, I would definitely be doing that right now. Unfortunately, I get a really rumbly tummy and very very light headed if I don’t eat. Also? I’m tired of cleaning the $@*% kitchen.

Sorry I haven’t been blogging. I haven’t been in a very good mental space at all, actually.

I lost 4.2 pounds!! I attribute it to being able to eat very little for a few days.

You might be wondering why my weight today is higher than my weight yesterday. I attribute it to daily fluctuation; it doesn’t bother me at all. I only really get discouraged when my weight doesn’t change much or has an upward trend over a period of several weeks. And I’m thrilled, because this confirms that sub-200 number yesterday wasn’t a fluke!
