I wasn’t pleased with this week's weigh-in, but I didn’t gain either. It was a measly 0.9 lbs, I know almost an lb, but not quite there. As I mentioned at least I did not gain. But what had me so ecstatic this week was, I fit into a top that I fit into snuggly 5 years ago, so over the last 5 years, I guess you can say I gained 70 lbs wow right? Yeah, it is unbelievable, how we can put it on each day. The food these days OH My Gosh, how fatty it is, and don’t get me started on fast food, that is a real killer. I wish more fast food places would start popping open that serve well-balanced meals! That would be amazing, but for now, it is up to us. I am sure there are some out there, and I wish we had some locally, it would be a treat! So there are my measly 0.9 lbs, lol, but it is way better than gaining. I am so happy about how well Continue Reading
Weigh-in #23 – Doing good!
Yesterday, we went to William's family house in Boston for a triple birthday party, so this was a test of not eating too much and being picky about what I was going to have. Since they ordered pizza and a cold cuts tray to make sandwiches, I had to estimate. I did not add mayonnaise as it was too high in calories, but I did add mustard which was zero. About 2 slices of two different types of sandwich meats, and a slice of cheese (Swiss), and finally 2-4 tablespoons of coleslaw. I had a cup of coffee black with some sweet n’ low, and later a decaf Diet Coke. I think I did okay, breakfast was at Dunkin Donuts, so I know how many calories I had, as it is not the first time I’ve had their awesome turkey bacon breakfast croissants, so good!!! 390 calories though, and an iced coffee, slim milk, and sweet n’ low. So not bad, and for dinner, a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #21 – Success again!
I am so so happy. When I got up today, grabbed the scale, and made my way to the bathroom to weigh in, I was doing a silent prayer. I weighed myself and my heart sank. I thought I had gained a lot. I walk into the room, my honey is sitting on the bed waiting, and he asks: How did it go? I said: I $#%#$% gained weight! He is shocked and says: But how could you, that is impossible! He asked me to show him so I did, and the image below is what I showed him. So for some reason, I jumped ahead and thought I was already in the 270s which I wasn’t. I thought I had gained 5lbs but instead, I LOST 5.4 lbs, WOOOHOOO I think that may very well have put me back on track to make my 100 lbs mark by January 2015, oh my gosh I am so so so sooooo happy you have no idea. I still believe I need to do meal-to-meal, instead of Continue Reading
Weigh-in #19 ~ A Comeback!!!
I have done a comeback, and that is good, it means I can recover and my own pep talks are helping, thank goodness for that. I suppose everyone has slip-ups and I am not an exception. I know this is going to be a struggle, and I know I will get to a place in my mind when I am going to be triumphant over this, and it will come as second nature to me. Thank goodness. So for this weigh-in, I lost 2.4 lbs, exactly what I gained last week, so really I haven’t moved anywhere, wait actually, I have, even though I haven’t lost more. At least I am not gaining, right? Now for the photo. I’m glad I am heading in the right direction. I just got to keep it up. I can do this, thank you for all your silent supporters, I know you are there, and I appreciate it. Till next timeEmily Continue Reading
Weigh-in #17 ~ Smooth Sailing
Right, so as it looks so far I am doing good, need to keep on this pace. I think my posts will get shorter lol. We’ll see. Typing with long nails makes it a little tricky, but I am managing. I’m happy to say I have lost 2.4 lbs, yay way to go Emily Lol. I’m happy about that, it makes me feel proud. As I mentioned before, I need to at least lose 2 lbs a week, in order to stay on track, the more yo-yo-ing I do, the more it can possibly set me back. Now for the photo! So that is a victory for me, so far so good! Ok, that is it for me. Till next time! Emily Continue Reading
