I can’t believe I had lost track of my weigh-ins, on the blog that is. But since I do record my actual weight as a reference to go back to, that helped me a lot. So I posted two different weigh-ins today. So I can keep up. This past weekend, I had a weight gain, I wasn’t happy, it could have been worse, but thankfully it wasn’t. But I don’t want that to be a habit. It’s very upsetting, and I try not to let it bring me down, and give up. I am NOT giving up. I can’t, I have to realize this is a way of life. It has to be for me. I gained .09 lbs, which as mentioned, isn’t a lot. My weight is now at 310 lbs, yes indeed that is a lot of weight, but I am trying here, and I’m happy with my loss so far, I have lost 36 lbs and that is a lot to be proud of. I’ve only been dieting on record for about 4 months, so I think it’s been pretty good. Continue Reading
Weigh-in #4 – Where is my head?
I am not sure how I get behind on posting. I could have sworn I was on time, but my last post says I posted on the 9th, and in that post I was late, so that means I didn’t post 10th & 11th, and 17th & 18th that just does not make sense (I’ll get it sorted). I noticed google had an update, but I don’t think that would affect my posts. Wow, I am off today, I was on the wrong browser LOL. Hmm okay so catch uptime. I weighed in on May 10, 2014, and I lost 0.08 lbs, not a whole lot, but still, it is a loss, although I wish it was more. I felt as if I had lost track of what I am doing. Well not exactly what I am doing, but I mean in reference to keeping track of what I weigh. I record each weigh-in, so I have that to fall back on if my memory screws up hehe. Which is what I just did to be able to sort out what I lost and gained. Continue Reading
Weigh-in #3 – And The Journey Has Begun
I know it’s late in the week, and I should have posted over the weekend, and we are almost into the weekend again. But I was not 100% happy with my weigh-in, I gained weight, but I’m not really upset with myself, because I know now what it is I did wrong. Even though I had enough calories for the food I was eating during the week, I overcompensated, thinking that I had enough calories and that should be fine. I was WRONG and perhaps a lot of other people do the same thing and make the same mistake as I did. I learned that even though for instance say I have a lot of calories left at the end of the day for dinner, it does not mean ‘hey I can eat more’, it doesn’t work like that, you can be sure you will gain weight. You need to be strict especially at night, to NOT eat a lot, because you are not moving around as much in the Continue Reading
Review: Kellogg’s Special K – Protein Breakfast Shake
Being on a diet, I have to watch what I eat and drink. I am a BzzAgent, so I share things that I get offered. This time around I am sharing the Special K Protein Breakfast Shakes. I tried both the Chocolate Mocha and the Vanilla Cappuccino on different days. As part of being a BzzAgent, I do reviews for certain products. Today I did two reviews, but they were done on one of the websites that BzzAgent provided for us to do a review on, the options were Walmart or Amazon I choose Walmart. Before writing my 2nd review, I read the most helpful review, which honestly I was taken aback. Because I had no idea how many carbs are in these shakes. I don't buy many of them, so I had nothing to really compare to. But once reading the review the person wrote that these shakes had the most carbs and sugar than any other shakes, additionally it had Continue Reading
Weigh-in #2 – Exciting Journey
I'm happy to report that in my weigh-in yesterday, I lost 3.1 pounds in a week since it’s a weekly weigh-in, not sure if I am going to say it like that. Or just how much, we’ll see. So things are going smoothly. Sometimes I feel I’m losing weight slowly, but in retrospect, I think that much weight loss in a week is pretty good. The weekly weight loss varies though, anywhere from no calories lost to 5, the most I’ve lost in one week was 5 lbs, which is a lot, and the least amount I lost was zero, but what makes me happy is I have not gained any weight, yay. I already feel a difference. Especially walking up and down the stairs, was such a hurdle for me before the weight loss and I can’t tell you how happy it has made me feel. I’m still at 1,600 calories a day. Lately, I haven’t been getting 1,600, I’ve averaged from 1,200 to 1,400 Continue Reading
