Lots of misc….
Well, to start off with my weigh in. I chickened out and didn’t go. Why? I’m a big chickenhead…lol!!! No, really it’s because I felt like a bloated whale. I am due to start my monthly and I knew scales would go up. As I said before, I’m doing the better weigh program at the Y and my mother in law had lost almost 3 pounds. I didn’t want to ruin our standings with a gain. She skipped one weigh and so did I. I should have gone though. I haven’t made it to the Y to workout yet. Wanted to go this afternoon but my child saw fit to get into trouble at school. He turns 13 in June and I don’t think I’m going to survive the teenage years.
Food wise could be a lot better. The one good habit that i have learned is to stop eating when I’m full. I just need to eat the right kind of food. I’m going to work hard on that. Yesterday, was frozen pizza for lunch and spanish hot dogs, fried mushrooms, and root beer float for supper. Darn the root beer stand for opening up. Heck, not a big hot dog fan so it may be the only time I eat there this year. I do like the mushrooms. The nice thing is that it is a small helping of them. I have to eat out for lunch tomorrow because I got to go to work early for video’s. I’m going to lose this weight. I want to be able to buy a nice a outfit for graduation.
I saw an interesting tidbit that might help you. Because weight fluxuates with things like the monthly, you shouldn’t track your progress at those times by weight lost. Instead track your progress by the days you have stuck to your calorie and exercise goals. It really is easier to measure. And you will still feel a sense of acomplishment even if the scale hasn’t budged.
Good luck, keep believing in yourself.
I’m due for mine pretty soon too. I don’t know if I’ll even be able to work out. I have Endometriosis so I might be in too much pain. I don’t think I’ll weigh in that week.
Good Luck on everything =)
