This was the last full week of the Transformation Challenge thingy at my gym, though the official last assessment for that isn’t until next weekend. I’m going to keep doing a small group training which will meet once a week (which I’ll have to miss at least one a month due to other commitments), but at least it will keep me motivated. I’m also planning to go on other days to do my own thing, assuming I don’t get lazy about it. We’ll just have to see how it goes.

Getting really frustrated with the way this whole year is going. I know I’m not being as strict with my food, but I even increased my exercise this week. So between my really low daily goal (which is well under my TDEE) and the extra workouts I should easily be losing at least a pound a week (if not more). But no… I have to struggle to drop a pound and I didn’t even manage to do that this week.

I am in a lot better shape than I was at the beginning of the year, thanks to the gym challenge, so there’s that. But weight-wise I feel like I’m wading through molasses. I mean, technically, I’m down 16 pounds since December 29th (so about 5 pounds a month). Which isn’t actually bad, but it’s soooooo slow compared to last year. And considering I still need to lose over 100 pounds, things should be moving at a bit faster rate (at least at this point). But I know, it’s not a race. Still…

I sound like a broken record, but weight loss is weird. I went to bed really late last night (after 2am) and for funsies I weighed myself right before I went to bed and was at like 272. But when I did my morning “official” weigh in (around 9a), I was 3 pounds less. I’m always heavier in the evenings, so that’s not really the weird part of it. It’s just that – it’s strange the difference in such a short period of time. Oh well… definitely not complaining.

Week 48 Current Weight: 270

Given that I spent most of last week feeling like I was starving to death, I purposefully ate way over last Friday and Saturday, which by Sunday had me up about 9 pounds. Mostly water weight, but still, it really sucked. So I’m pretty happy to have ended the week down a pound. But, I feel like I had to totally fight for it – given that I shouldn’t have even gained that much in the first place.

I was over quite a bit this week, though way under one day as well. But whatever works, right?

Week 41 Current Weight: 279

Total Weight Lost: 111 pounds

I know that starting an exercise routine can cause water retention, and to be fair, I had a couple bad days, but I took a friend out for her birthday and honestly, due to the exercising, I felt like I was starving all week. Made it very hard to stick to my goals. So sucks that I didn’t lose anything, but at least I didn’t gain either. On to the next week. 🙂
