Whaddya know, as soon as my Hellacious period ended, I dropped 5lbs of bloated water weight. I'm sure part of that was help from a weekend of chucking rocks from our newly upturned land behind our house. Of course getting out there with the loppers and cutting down an acre of prickers didn't hurt. Okay so not maybe an acre, but I definately made a dent back there.
Anyways, this is a diet diary and not a do it yourself in the back yard diary. Wow, that sounded dirty! But yes, those two pounds? Gone. Not that I am extremely comfortable putting my weight out there, but here goes. Can't hold back when chronicalling something like this. I started out at 256lbs in February when I saw that horrible picture, and decided to turn my life around. Now 3 months later I'm 223lbs, fully clothed. My next mini goal is to be back into the teens. My next big goal is 200. From there I'll be on track to lose the last 40 and land at 160lbs. That's where I will be comfortable with myself again.
I gotta get back on track though and stop "guesstimating" my food intake... I for the most part eat the same things everyday because I am a creature of habit. But I've upped my proteins by a ton because that seems to be the secret to weightloss. I snack on almonds, raw pumpkin seeds, and South Beach Diet cereal bars because they are packed with protein. Hannaford makes a nonfat yogurt smoothie that has 0 fat grams and 10 grams of protein. That is awesome even if the calories are 130. Which still in the grand scheme ain't so bad either! I'm addicted to Yoplait yogurts still, except for the White Chocolate Strawberry that's terrible. Apple Turnover is still super yum, Boston Creme Pie is pretty good too. Okay so they all are, just not the WCS.
Tomorrow I go back to Cecy and weigh in again. Hopefully talk to her about the fact my insurance denied my Meridia (fucking boo hoo still!) and see if the Glucophage will be more acceptable. Either way I guess I've proved I am able to do it on my own power so I should stop crying over it. Just life has been so stressful these past few months and it sucks to not have my comfortable food crutch. That's what it boils down to I think... I can't eat my way happy if I'm sticking food in my mouth or not. It's a vicious cycle... one I need to break. I need to break it for the kids too, and so far so good without all the crap food being in my pantry they reach for low fat granola, 100 calorie packs, and water. Yes water, my kids LOVE water plain or with my sugar free drink mixes. I love Splenda, and my next step will be to try Stevia which is a plant derivitive sweetener. Jillian McKeith recommends it and ultimately she's my guru. If only I had the money and resources to follow her plan *sigh*
Anyways, today is my 2nd wedding anniversary and I'm off to lunch with the husband.
