Start Weight = 185
Current Weight = I’ve already crossed that bridge and do not want to jot it down again. Ugh!
Total Lost Last Time = 0 = ZERO = NOTHING
Total Lost This Time = 0 = ZERO = NOTHING
My Weight Loss Goal = 150
I need to lose 35.0 lbs. I have work to do.
I’ve been doing great at the gym I just need to hit the gym more and when I can’t hit the gym I need to hop on the treadmill mill down in our basement.
It’s hard to use the treadmill in the basement because Don works down there and is on conference calls a lot. So I need to keep it quiet. That means using the treadmill only when he is not working in the home office.
I went back up on the scale but I refuse to jot it down again. I refuse to cross that bridge. I don’t want to revisit that number again. I will not write down any numbers unless they are progress numbers.
I have worked out three times including last Wednesday. That’s unacceptable. I have also NOT been watching what I’m eating. I have no self control at the moment. THAT is unacceptable.
I need to get right back into it … forget the Halloween candy. Forget all the comfort foods that I LOVE so much. I will admit … we ate out a couple of times and I probably picked the most fattening comfort foods I could eat. The portions were not small and it all tasted so good! Smaller portions? What is that?
It all went right out the window. Ugh.
I will see you all back here next Wednesday with a positive progress report for you. That’s IT. Self Control … here I come! (But please pray about it for me because I am weak.)

How tall are you? Sometimes you NEED to get off track (diet AND exercise) & trick your body. I’m eating mostly veggies & non-processed foods, and when I go off the program, I feel physically ill. BUT in the moment of eating, it is SO good! I don’t work out as consistently as I should, either. But know that you are not alone, dear friend! I’m right there with ya, numbers & all. Stop stressing (impossible, but lower it a bit), make sure you’re well-rested & well-hydrated.

Hang in there! You’ve been motivation for me while I was “off my game” & I know you’ll have a great weigh in next week!
Are you journaling your work outs & your food? Sometimes that helps me if I can see it all on paper in front of me.

Angela,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having a crappy day! I hope everything starts falling in line for you and clicks soon. You are too honestly awesome to be down for too long.

Let’s see… I am 5′ 6″ tall. Great point. I do need to drink more water. It’s so hard to pass up the chocolate chip and sugar cookies that my husband is baking all the time. Maybe it is time for me to think about food in terms of whether or not God made it for me to eat? Snacking on Pumpkin seeds is probably so much better for me than snacking on a cookie. Why is it that I can’t just have 1?
I went to the doctor recently and their scale said that I was 187 with my clothes on and shoes off. That’s Crazy! I stepped on my scale today buck naked it my scale said that I was 181. That means I’m not as far off track as I thought I was. But, it is almost the end of the month and I had hoped to get down to 175. I don’t think that’s going to happen. Maybe my goals are too totally unrealistic?
Nobody has ever told me I was too honestly awesome before. THAT totally made my day. Thanks Carrin!

I’m the same height. Don’t get discouraged. You’re otherwise healthy, right? Give yourself a break, forgive yourself, and get back on track. Believe it or not, you are my inspiration to stay on track. Go figure, a girl you’ve never met is inspired by YOU! Thanks for putting yourself “out there”. I’m rooting for you.

I’m over that but slowly catching up to you. I think stress causes a lot of it to be honest. While it doesn’t sound like you have stress I know sometimes it can be hidden, I hid it for over a year and finally broke down and told all my bloggy friends early in the year. Things were going well and suddenly it happened again and I gained weight. I’m more focused now and have almost lost 10lbs, I’ll no more once everyone leaves and I can get on the scale without eyes trying to catch me.
So basically if you are stressing it may halt losing weight, instead you might gain it. You state you are going to the gym all the time but not losing it. I recommend watching those Jillian Michaels DVDs they seem to be really working but I kid you not they will make you sore. Instead of the gym could you go on a walk instead? I walk 3 miles one night and 1 mile the next (in a pattern). As far as food I’ve learned eating a certain amount of calories helps and drinking a TON of water. I was a soda and starbucks gal, now it is tea with 2 scoops of sugar (small) and water. When I want to snack I grab a salad.
I hope these help you out.
