Well here I am, I weighed in this morning, which I feel is the best time to do it. According to this article, I read online. I have to say I was very disappointed with what I see. I thought back to my week, and though I think I did pretty well, all week I stayed under my 1460 calorie intake, so why did I gain weight? That just didn’t make sense to me. I said oh well, I have to re-evaluate what I am doing, how I am eating, and cut back even more. It was disappointing, I just couldn’t understand. From what the scale said, I gained about 3 lbs, and that is a lot!!! I was mad, sad, discouraged (for about a second), and just confused. I thought okay, no point in crying over it. Moving on. About an hour ago, I got curious to see if my weight changed any, and I thought this because I noticed I had to use the bathroom about 9 times today, Continue Reading
Weigh-in #5 – I Lost Track!
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
Happy Mother’s Day 2014
Here it is again, another year without my mother, God Rest Her Soul. I miss her like crazy, there is so much I wish I could of shared with her. I know she is looking over all of us. But, yes there is a but, but having her physically would of been great. I would of loved to take her out to lunch, make this day so very special for her. It is special, I had an amazing mother, she did the best she could. I love her for giving me life. I will always miss her, she is often in my thoughts and even in my dreams from time to time. I love you always mom! I also wanted to mention my sister and her partner that also stepped in as mother figures, they adopted 3 children that are full grown now and moved on with their families. They did such a selfless thing by adopting. Bless them as well. To my brother Nelson, whom stepped in when his kids 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
