Week 22 Current Weight: 312

Pounds Lost This Week: 0 (gained 1 pound)

Total Weight Lost: 78 pounds

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.

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.

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. 🙂

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)

Week 15: 338

Weight Lost This Week: 0 (gained 4 pounds)

Total Weight Lost: 52 pounds

To be fair, there were 2 birthdays, my dad was in town, and it was that time of the month. On the other hand, even though I ate a ton of crap this week, I don’t think I should have gained 4 pounds from it. There were only 2 days that I was WAY, WAY over and on most of the others I was on-target or my exercise calories came pretty close to canceling out the overages (normally I don’t eat them back, but some do) – so this much of a gain seems to be excessive. Especially given that my 1200 a day calorie goal is quite a ways under what most programs say that I need to eat in order to lose (like most put me around 1700), so even if I’m not losing anything, I shouldn’t be gaining either. Oh well… on to a new week and getting back on track.

The really sad part – except for the day I ate at Outback (and the birthday cakes), most of the food I ate wasn’t that great and I ended up regretting eating it almost immediately. What’s the fun of eating if you can’t enjoy it? 😦

Weight loss is so weird. Anyhoo… I actually weighed in on Thursday this week, because I’ll be technically out of town most of Friday – only going about 20 minutes down the road, but didn’t want to have to mess with traffic and parking so we got a hotel (might as well take a mini-vacay when I can. LOL).

#RaleighSuperCon FTW!! Hubby wants to meet Michael Rooker and Jason Mews, so off we go. It goes without saying that I probably won’t be eating all that well Thursday night and Friday, but at least this way I’ll know where I was and can better judge the damage. Will try not to go too overboard though. XD
