Downwards again… YAY!!
I’m going to try really hard this week to stay a bit under my calorie goal (1200 a day), only because the kiddo is getting married next weekend and I will have too much else on my plate to be worrying too much about counting calories, etc… Might as well try to mitigate the damage beforehand.
Week 23 Current Weight: 313
Pounds Lost This Week: 0 (gained 1 pound)
Total Weight Lost: 77 pounds
I was going to wait until tomorrow to do my weigh-in, because I’ve been having issues with constipation this week (sorry for the TMI), but since it’s only a pound I decided not to worry too much about it. Hopefully, things will work themselves out soon. It sucks though, because I stuck to my calorie goals all week, so I should have lost – but no… I’m just full of shit (as usual XD).
Week 22 Current Weight: 312
Pounds Lost This Week: 0 (gained 1 pound)

Well… gaining something was not unexpected, given that last week’s drop was due almost entirely to being so sick with worry that I could barely eat. And honestly, one pound isn’t bad. But I am slightly frustrated because I really shouldn’t have even gained that. I mean, yes I did eat over 3 times this week (2 days were only slightly like 100-200 calories, though the other was a doozy of about 1000 calories), however the other 3 days I was under. Not only that, but generally, my daily goal of 1200 is well under than what most sites say I could be eating and still losing weight (like I should be able to eat 1500 and still be fine) – not to mention I never eat back my “exercise” calories, so I should always have a cushion. So why is it that every time I eat over I immediately gain? It doesn’t entirely make sense sometimes.
But, it’s just a pound, so it’s not horrible. Just weird.
Week 21 Current Weight: 311
Pounds Lost This Week: 5
Total Weight Lost: 79 pounds
This week’s weight loss is brought to you by large amounts of stress and anxiety. On the positive side, if this keeps up I can totally make my mini-goal of being under 300 pounds by the time my son’s wedding comes around the beginning of October.
Seriously though, this week is rough for a lot of people and here’s hoping we all stay safe and are minimally impacted (or better yet, not impacted at all) by all this crazy stuff.
Week 20 Current Weight: 316

Weight Lost This Week: 2
Total Weight Lost: 71 pounds
I was a bit of a struggle this week, as it’s that time of the month (sorry for the TMI), but managed to make it through without going too crazy. Definitely feeling the extra carbs though – very puffy and achy.

I know I say this often, but weight loss is weird. I’m not currently exercising – haven’t really had the energy and the weather has had everything aching, and I’m not even being all that exacting on what I’m eating. I mean, I am aiming to stay under 1200, but there are days (like yesterday) when I eat things that I don’t really know the calorie count (hubby made cabbage rolls, but they had a ton of extra cheese in them and probably higher fat ground beef) but somehow it’s all still working out. At least for now.
Definitely not complaining though!! I’ll take what I can get. 🙂
So, now that I’m back on track (more or less), I’m continuing the quest for yummy, hopefully somewhat healthier, low carb options. Enter Simple Mills and their line of gluten-free bake mixes.
I ordered the 3-count set, which came with Chocolate Muffin, Artisan Bread, and Chocolate Chip Cookie mixes. Of course, I made the Chocolate Muffins…
They weren’t bad and still warm it was like eating a brownie (which according to the directions you can actually make brownies with this mix so double yay!!). Not super-sweet – more of a dark chocolate flavor, but all-in-all pretty tasty. And at 110 calories* and 14 carbs, it definitely fits into my diet (with a little protein and fiber thrown in as well).
Can’t wait to try the other mixes!! Yum!!

Whoo-hooo!! Back on track. Lost what I gained and an extra pound as well. (even though I ate one of those Reese’s Peanut Butter donuts XD)
