Week 86 Current Weight: 244
Pounds Lost This Week: doesn’t really count
Total Weight Lost: 146
I was out of town for Week 85 and still not making very good food choices, but the good news is that I stuck with it this week and managed to drop closer to where I need to be, to be back on track. Hopefully I can keep up with it, even though I still have to get through the bulk of the Holiday season.
Week 84 Current Weight: some godawful number

I’m going to pretend like this week never happened. I mean, yeah it was Thanksgiving, but still…
Anyhoo, starting tomorrow, I am going to get my lazy ass back on track. Whatever this bug is that has crawled up my butt the last couple months – it’s getting squashed. I am not going to go back to the way I was.

I’ve decided that the term “yo-yo” dieting is not the right way to describe it. It’s more like a carousel. You just keep going up and down and up and down… around and around and around. XD
Still, I think I’ve managed to actually “cure” my sweet tooth this past week. I ate so much chocolate one day that I honestly felt sick. Which is bad, I know, but I just wanted it gone and hubby kept buying more. But at least now I don’t have any cravings. LOL

I was out of town last week on weigh-in day (for Week 81), and though I weighed myself before I left on Thursday, by the time I got back on Sunday I’d blown any losses completely out of the water (seriously I was back up over 250 pounds) and decided I didn’t even want to officially log that shit anywhere. The really sad part is that except for the cupcakes I got from Smallcakes in Winter Park, FL (which were freaking amazing) and the grilled cheese sandwich I ate with my friend when we went out to dinner, most of the food I ate over the weekend didn’t even taste that good. So, an almost total waste of calories (looking at you Steak ‘n Shake… I was very disappointed). No, I lied, there was the club sandwich and a ham and cheese omelette at the Westin in Jekyll Island that were pretty awesome as well, but the rest (things eaten elsewhere), yeah… not so much.
So, I did somewhat better with things once I got home, so the water weight is dropping back off, but I’m still struggling overall. I don’t think I made my calorie goal even one day this week (at all). But that’s ok. I’ll keep trying.

*sigh*
So, I’m going to go back to the beginning and do protein shakes daily, as a meal replacement, for a bit to try to get a better handle on this. I know I’ve had a lot going on and, mentally, was not in a great place the last couple months, but I do not want to gain weight like this. So, I’ve got to do better.
Honestly, I feel like shit. I’m exhausted and everything has been hurting again. So not only the weight gain, but clearly, the foods I’m eating aren’t good for me in a variety of ways. I just need to get my mental game back on track so that when I’m presented with a challenge I don’t give in immediately, like I’ve been doing the last few weeks.
I’m pretty sure a lot of this is water weight, because although I’ve been eating a lot more, I’ve not been eating THAT MUCH, that I should have gained nearly 20 pounds in less than 2 months. So with any luck it will drop back off soon-ish. Still, it’s very disappointing.
But, it’s ok… I’ve got this!!

Eh… still working on getting back on track. I was doing better, but the last two days have been rough. Nonetheless, I will persevere!
The change in weather doesn’t help though – all I want to do is eat the carbs. XD
Week 78 Current Weight: 240

Total Weight Lost: 150 pounds
This week’s gain courtesy of hurricane Michael. The good news is I will be back on track after today. Not only do I have my HealthyWage challenge in the works (and I do not want to lose $$), but I also have tickets (VIP Meet & Greet) to see Walk the Moon in February and I really would love to be under 200 pounds by showtime. I know I probably won’t lose 40 pounds by then (it’s only 17 weeks, and even if I lost 2 pounds a week it would only be about 34), but still gives me a great reason to stay motivated. Now if only the weather would cooperate. I am so ready for hurricane season to be over.

Water weight is fun. XD
One of my goals for this current fitness challenge is to go to the gym more often. At one point I was going almost every day for a while, but as summer hit I got lazy and have only been going to my Monday evening small group training. Even though we’re getting ready to start week 3 on Monday, so far, I’m still just going my same old once a week. Though to be fair, the kiddo’s been having a rough time the last month or so, and I’m still trying to recover from the ginormous panic attack and utter exhaustion that was hurricane Florence. Everything was fine here at the house, but the mental stress of it all, not to mention we ended up leaving town just in case (since originally we were going to be in a more direct path), was pretty significant.
My eating habits have still been a little off. Either I’m not hungry or when I am, there’s nothing that I want (all I want is junk and I’m trying really hard not to give in to that too much). Hopefully, things will work themselves out soon.
I did start another HealthyWage challenge as well. The goal is to lose 25 more pounds in the next 6 months. I know it’s a fairly conservative goal (since I usually average more than a pound a week weight loss), but I also know the holidays are coming up, so I figured it was better to aim low than to set myself up for total failure. Anyone who wants to join me – please feel free.

I probably would have been down a couple more pounds (not complaining in the slightest though), but hubby made homemade shells and cheese (pretty sure he used a whole block of white cheddar and another half of provolone, along with heavy cream) the other day and I ate a ginormous pan of the leftovers last night. No regrets. It was really freaking yummy!!
First week of the Fall Fitness Challenge (starting weight also 240), so it will be good to see where I am in 8 weeks when it’s over. I only went to the gym once this week, even though my goal was to up to at least twice. For whatever reason (too many squats), I was really sore most of the week, and I’ve got a lot of stuff going on this weekend so probably won’t make it then either. Next week I will do better!!

After all the stress of the hurricane, I took a break and ate all the food this week. Whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I know a good bit of this is just water weight so it will drop back down soon enough. To be fair, the 231 I was at last week was due to not eating much of anything for several days, so I shouldn’t have even been that low to begin with. So not much worried about the gains.
I’ll be starting the Fall Fitness challenge at my gym on Monday, so I’ll have the motivation to get back on track. And I’ll probably start another HealthyWage challenge as well. So it will all be good.
