Day 85- 188.2

Still no loss...getting pissed off. I am going to do hard boiled eggs and shakes for as long as I can stand it for about 5 days.

I will not exercise tonight since I had only 4 hours sleep but starting Tuesday I am going to be consistent and add some strength training as well.

Also...I will start sleeping in my compression suit...(I have been dreading that)

I am not going to bother to weigh in until Saturday.

Day 82 - 188.2

WOW! It is amazing how LONG it takes to get back on track with losses after a ONE DAY treat. It just goes to show how important it is to avoid eating anything that is off plan. So this weeks losses will end up being ZERO! I am very sad about it..however I made the choice on purpose to have pizza last Sunday and knew that this would be the consequence for it.

It is VERY important to me that my losses amount to atleast 4 pounds by Saturday the 30th!

Day 81 - 188.2

Ok..so its Thursday and I am still stuck at this number due to my indulgence. Its getting aggravating but I have to muddle through it. I did well yesterday but I am going to have eggs and bacon for dinner to speed things up a bit...also...not going to have cheese. It really slows things down. My goal for today is to clean my house. I am so tired of it looking sloppy and it makes me feel so annoyed and lazy.

More tomorrow. Happy Thursday!

Day 80 - 188.2

Still no change....damn treat days. I have stayed on plan without any problems at all. I am actually not very hungry and have to force myself to eat anything at all. I imagine it will be another day or two before I see the numbers drop. I hate that...but that is what I get for indulging.

Day 79 - 188.2

Ok..so no change and did not get to exercise...but I ran around after work running errands so I really had no choice! lol.

My treat day was great and all. I mean, it got rid of my obsession with no-no foods...but boy has it messed up my tummy and everything else. I still feel pretty crummy from it. I am glad it will not be a regular type of thing. It is too hard to recover from.

Day 78 - 188.2

Ok...so no post yesterday and my weight is still the same. I had a treat day and expect my weight to remain the same for a few days. I think I managed to go 3-4 weeks without any indulgences and yesterday I just said screw it and had some regular food items.

I am glad I got it out of my system so I can quit thinking about it.

Back on the treadmill or bouncer tonight.

More tomorrow.

Day 76 - 188.2

No change at all...but I did  have a diet Pepsi late last night. I am still happy with my total weight loss for the week!

Day 75 - 188.2

Ok...so I am pissed. I wanted to see 187 today really badly. I had ground beef last night and it seems that red meat makes my losses much slower. I guess its back to stupid old chicken tonite so I can see what I want to on the scale tomorrow morning.

I only exercised for 20 minutes, I used my rebounder. It was too cold out to go walk on the treadmill in my garage.

I was ravenously hungry last night and ate too fast so I had an upset stomach too. BOOOOOO!

Since I have to post from home...tomorrow and Sunday my posts will be much shorter I am sure.

Happy Friday!

Day 74 - 188.6

Ok....this is really fantastic!

I forgot to mention that since Monday I have not only changed how much I am eating...but the time that I start eating.

I am up at 6AM and do not have my first calorie until 3PM. I am done with calories by 7PM.

I wanted to make sure I put that in the blog because at the point in my weight loss it seems to be having a real impact.

I did my  30 minutes of walking yesterday and feel pretty good.

I had 1 chicken thigh, 1 deviled egg, 2 ounces sour cream and a half cup of shredded cheese and my diet shake.

Day 73 -189.8

I made it to the 180s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am thrilled. I did my 30 minutes of walking yesterday and also will begin arm work. A friend on a forum I use (LowCarbFriends) has the BEST arms and I asked her for some pointers for a beginner. I am adding in modified pushups for starters...(my wrists are sooo weak...shame on me!)

I continued with very low calorie yesterday. 1/2 avocado, 1 deviled egg half, I chicken thigh with the skin grilled and 1 shake.

Feeling very good and not really hungry at all.

I just reviewed past blog posts and found that I spent 15 days in the "190s". I was very frustrated but I suppose that losing 10 pounds in 15 days is actually quite amazing. I will have to work on how impatient I am..tee hee. :)

Have a super dooper day!

Day 72 - 190.8

Ok..so I did my 30 minutes on the treadmill yesterday and I ate very lightly. I was just not hungry. I had 1 shake, 1 deviled egg and 1 half of an avocado. More tomorrow.


It takes 21 days to form a habit!

Day 71 - 193.8

Ok...so I was furious to see an increase today. I stayed on plan but I ate too much taco meat and ground beef in general yesterday.

TOM is gone as of now so I was hoping for a big drop and got screwed. I am not hungry at all today and will not eat unless I am.My goal this week is to be in the 180's. Enough said.

I think I will plan to have 1 shake today and some deviled eggs. Screw cooking today, I am too pissed off.

P.S. I am starting my 30 minutes of exercise tonight. Up until this point I have not had the energy nor the desire to exercise. I plan to use my treadmill and my rebounder this evening. Once I have established the habit of 30 minutes per day, I will more than likely choose a more aggressive routine. For today and the next 21 days I will focus on just forming the habit of exercise. I will allow myself to break the 30 minutes down into 2-15 minute sessions if necessary. I do not anticipate that this will be the case, but I will add that caveat just in case.

Day 70 - 191.8

Ok...so weekends are not great losers for me. I stayed on plan...no shake though. I am pretty pissed that I had no loss though. I am aiming for 5 pound loss this week. I am so jazzed to see the 180s

Day 69 -191.8

This weeks total loss was only 2.6. I am not thrilled but it is atleast a loss and not a gain or stall.
Last night I had the taco meat menu but instead of beef I used chicken. Everything else was the same. I am very excited to be so close to the 180's ! It will be amazing when I get there.

Day 68 - 192.8

Ok...numbers are moving again slowly. I am happy they are atleast doing that much.
I made more deviled eggs last night and they are the best batch yet. Very yummy and filling.
I was very tired from TOM so I did some dishes, had my dinner, made my eggs, played with my dogs shortly and then it was off to bed. I am aiming to see 191.? tomorrow morning. :)

Day 67 - 193.4

Ok...so .8 loss. I am not pleased though as stupid TOM is still not here and this week has been a bummer because I really love seeing daily progress on the scale. Yesterdays foods are listed below. My protein grams are a few higher than I was aiming for but I had an extra slice of cheese. My calories are still much lower than I had been consuming in previous weeks, but it seems to be all that I really need at this point since my fat is so high. I am very satisfied and do not think I need to push myself to eat more just to increase the calorie count.

Day 66 - 194.2

STILL no loss and STILL waiting for TOM.

Totals were great...I could not force myself to eat all that I had allowed for the day. My calories, etc are all very low. Much lower than previous days. I was just very full and had to leave it at that.

 I feel thinner though..its weird. I know I am losing,....I just have to wait for my TOM in order to find out what I have accomplished.

Day 65 - 194.2

Ok...so still really no perceptible loss. I am glad that it is not going upwards in number though. I am still waiting for stupid, mean, sadistic, hateful, awful, evil TOM to arrive.

I did fine on my diet...stayed on plan but yesterday was a very hard and hormonal day. I was starving and could not stop thinking about food no matter what I did. Basically I was a total bitch! I went home and at immediately to get some fat in my belly and then took a 3 hour nap. This is what I hate most about TOM is the exhaustion and hunger.

I did do my fitday but its a real pain to post it here. I was right on target though. Tonite I am switching to chicken thighs....I have been doing a lot of beef and am sick of it now. :) I made more deviled eggs...those babies really are a life saver for sure. Another reason I am switching back to chicken is to lower my protein intake as I think it causes blood sugar spikes.

Day 64 - 194.6

Ok...I am up two-tenths of a pound, but not to worry...my fingers have swollen up and I am certain that TOM is showing up today. I have stayed on plan and I am sure that AFTER TOM...I will show a big loss all at once.

I did not get to do fitday for 3 days because my keyboard is just terrible at home so I had to skip it.

Happy dieting.

Day 63 194.4

Ok...so no change. I did not eat very much yesterday. It could be that my fat was not high enough to show a loss OR it could be TOM is coming. I will up my fat today and see if that causes the numbers to go down. My keyboard at home is really terrible so I will be more detailed tomorrow from work. Happy dieting and good luck!

Day 62 - 194.4

Sooooo...I stayed on plan BUT I ate less....I ran out of deviled eggs. I had my two shakes and my taco meat dinner with sour cream and cheese...but no egg. I am sure this was why I did not lose a bit more. I am making more deviled eggs today!

I will paste my foods here once I enter them on fitday. I was not around to do it yesterday.


My total loss is 5.6 pounds for the week. My weeks start on Sunday for my calculations. This is a VERY successful week!

Day 61 - 195.2

ok...so I repeated the menu that I had eggs over easy for dinner with bacon and cheese. I am on my home pc with the crappy keyboard so you willl have to look at Mondays menu.

VERY happy with my loss.
