March 06 Weeks 8 & 9 I am officially not doing well in regards to watching my weight. I managed to hold steady for Week 8 at 186, but went up to pounds when I weighed in this morning for 188. I'm not quite up to where I started, but it's a very small gap. I have kind of lost my motivation and need to find it again. The "oh whatever, nothing is going to change anyway" mentality has crept back in and is kicking my butt. The sad thing is that I want to be healthy and don't even enjoy half of the junky foods I end up eating. I either feel like it would be impolite to decline or convince myself it's something I need and eat it anyway. Time to see if I can turn this around and get myself back on track. February 22 Weeks 5-7So I seem to have gotten a bit behind with my Weight Loss Journal. Amusingly, I am now back to 186 after a brief journey down to 184. I lost 1 pound during week 5, bringing me down to 185, and 1 during week 6 for a low of 184. Then Valentine's Day happened with a weekend away to Las Vegas to celebrate my two-year anniversay with, among other things, an indulgence in the amazing restaurants there.
I am having a bit of a problem going back to writing down everything I eat so I think I'm going to take a break this week from that and try to keep a mental tally instead.
If the scale goes up again on Wednesday, I will go back to my food log. What I really need to do is get back to the gym. I'm trying to find time to play with my photography a bit more so it'll be a balancing act with that for a while as I need to work on it while I have the interest. Otherwise I lose focus and put aside for months at a time. Stupid ADD.
Anyway, to sum up:
Week 4 = 186
Week 5 = 185
Week 6 = 184
Week 7 = 186
My weigh-in on Wednesday marks two months of trying to lose weight. It'll be interesting to see what type of progress I've made over that much time so I can gage what to expect by the end of the year. February 03 Week 4 Success! I lost 2 lbs. this week to bring me down to 186. This is the halfway point through Melissa and I's challenge and right now I'm averaging a pound a week loss. Not great, but not horrible either. I think she's still kicking my butt; however, the important thing is that the number is going down and not up like it has for the past 12 months. I have started taking Hydroxycut, so hopefully that will help speed along the weight loss. Now if I could just get it to stop raining on Sunday mornings so we could get our hikes in I would be a happy camper. January 30 Week Three I realize that I'm super late talking about Week 3 but it was a total wash so there's nothing to report. I didn't lose anything, didn't gain anything. Still at 188 for the 3rd week in a row. I reach the halfway point with tomorrow's weigh in. Week 4 of an 8 week challenge. So far Melissa is kicking my ass. Go Mel! I'm going to start using Hydroxycut tomorrow to hopefully kick start my metabolism. I'm going to do a test run with it for a week and see if it makes any difference on the scale. I barely skimmed in at my points for week 3, but I've done much better this week so hopefully that will translate to a loss. Bleh, time to stretch and get to bed so I can see how I did. January 17 Week TwoI have made it through two weeks. This always seems to be the kiss of death week for people on The Biggest Loser and I was no exception. I did not lose any weight this week. I think this is in part to the large dinner I had on Tuesday night. I stayed within my points, but I think it was still with me when I stepped on the scale the following morning.
The reason I think this is true is the fact that I couldn't stop myself from weighing myself again this morning and I had lost 2 pounds. It doesn't count, of course, but it did give me a boost in thinking that I'm doing everything all right for now. From now on Tuesdays will be a careful eating day for me. I'll save the splurges for the weekends.
Numbers wise I am still at 188 so I am averaging a 1 lb weight loss a week. Hopefully I can bump that up to a 2 lb average as I get used to this new routine.
