Weigh-in #01 – Here We Go Again!

January 10, 2023 by Emily 2 Comments

Yeah, that is correct. Here I go again, trying to lose weight. I did it before, and things just went wrong. I am not going to go in-depth about that, as I have already posted a blog about it when it happened. If I can dig up the blog post, I will add a link in this post leading you to that post.

I finally got tired of being overweight, it happens to us all, but for me, I just had enough of it. I am tired of it. I don’t feel well, well I do feel well, but my knees are bothering me. I am 5’1 small framed but I am way overweight, into the obese category sad to say I am 58 and I don’t want to die because I am overweight. I am being brutally honest with you all here. However, I hope all that changes.

I started my diet officially on Jan 2, 2023, and on that day I weighed in, to see where I would be starting. My weight at the time was 326.1 lbs. I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me, that is very overweight, obese even. I said I would be honest, and I am. With the Lord’s help, I can achieve what I want. I need his guidance and strength. Below is a picture of my starting weight. Thereafter, I will post each week my weigh-in in the same form. I add a little happy face with thumbs up or down, depending on if I lost weight or gained weight. I thought a thumbs-up would be an excellent way to start things. Staying positive is a must.

Now we go on to my first official weigh-in since beginning to diet. I weighed in at 316.3 lbs, which is a 9.8 lb loss, I kind of expected a big loss the first weigh-in, because you change the way you have been eating, what you are eating, and how much you are eating. So naturally, you will lose weight. If you don’t then there is a problem.

I wanted to start walking on the treadmill too, and I had begun walking. However, there was a problem. I am too heavy at this time to walk on our treadmill. In 2014, when I got the treadmill, I was under 300 lbs, and this model’s max weight is 300 lbs. I walked for the first 3 days, increasing my time on the treadmill. But something was happening to the treadmill, as it is not made for my weight. I was devasted, but not discouraged. I had lost weight way before I started walking, so I can do it again, and I will do it again, I know I have it in me to do it.

So for now, it is all about counting calories and watching my carbs, and sugar intake. I would love to be walking on the treadmill, but not at the expense of breaking it LOL. You may be asking, why don’t I go to a gym, no they cost too much, and it is not in our budget, and we only have 1 car, but above all, I am not ready to be in public working out. Heck, no. You may think it is an excuse, and maybe it is, but it’s my decision.

Ok so why not walk around the block? I can do that as well, we don’t have sidewalks here, so I feel it can be dangerous, and I am not going to put my life on the line like that. On top of that, it is winter, and we will soon have snow on the ground. I do not intend on falling. I already injured one knee in 2009 and don’t want to make it worse. How about Spring/Summer, yeah I think I could during that time. I have issues with humidity, but I may try to by then. I am very self-conscious of myself, and my body right now at this time, so I don’t feel comfortable going out where I would stand out. It is a mind over matter thing, but it is my mind over matter thing. When I am ready, I will go.

I think that is about all for today. Until next time.

God Bless
Emily

    Congrats on the weight loss so far. I need to loose weight as well. I am 5’1 also and almost 200lbs so it’s one of my goals this year. I find I just don’t have the willpower and stamina for working out. Walking on a treadmill is something I like but our place is just too small. However we now have an indoor walking track very close to us and after winter there is a ton of walking trails. That’s what I like outdoor walking trails. I find ones that are more secluded (but still totally safe) and take my husband with me so it’s usually just the two of us an an occasional passerby. Good luck with your weight loss. I’ll be following along. I need some willpower and inspiration!

      Hi Kadie, thank you for the encouragement. I used to think like this before, not having the willpower. I get it. But in all honesty, I told myself it really comes down to me, and I have to find it within myself. Of course, I ask our good Lord to help me with my journey, and he always comes through. The first time at my attempt at losing weight we lived in a 2 bedroom townhouse, we literally had the treadmill in the living room, it wasn’t ideal but it was the only place, we did not want to carry it upstairs lol. It served its purpose. And we have it to this day. I like the idea of secluded walking trails, you must take photos and post them when you get out there. I wish you all the luck with your journey as well. You are young, you can do it! I’ll be checking in on your and see if you mention it in your posts. Have a great day and God Bless.

Happy Tuesday! I had a vet appointment for my Lily Happy Tuesday! I had a vet appointment for my Lily today. All is good. Thank you, Lord. Today's furbabies are these sweet kitten. Healthy kittens are always nice to see, but there are cats of all ages out there that need your help. They are in need of food, medicine, toys, blankets,  bottles for feeding kittens, and of course once healthy a forever home. If you are so inclined, reach out to one of your local rescues and donate something. Please, they all need help. You can find them on here, on Facebook, Twitter, and Tiktok, probably lots of other places. Please be cautious who you donate to. Research the rescue before you do.  There are too many scams going around. With that said, let me introduce you to these four sweet kittens. We have Sparks, Spits, Speckles & Spats. Silly but cute names. They live in Canada with their human. Cuteness overload.
