weekly weigh-in

Wow, I am not very good at reporting in with my weigh-ins! So let's see:
Friday, June 17th - I was down 2.2 lbs. I worked hard that week and I was super-proud!
Friday, June 24th - no change, but I went to a homeschool conference last weekend and I celebrated Father's day with Prince Charming with food (I need to work on that!) So no change over the course of the week is pretty awesome and speaks to how I got right back on the wagon again.

I am down 2.2 lbs this week. I am thrilled to be going in the right direction!

I decided that the first thing I am going to do when we get our financial situation fixed from this disastrous move is join a gym. When the doctor told me about my high cholesterol, he recommended I join one. There is one down the road that has great prices and I love the idea of going out and doing something that is just for myself for just a little while during the day the location is great.

I know this hasn't actually been weekly lately. With the move and all the junk food I have been eating, I admit I was hiding from the scales. Last week I did weigh in and in the seven weeks I hadn't weighed, I gained 8.8 lbs. Not good, but actually less than I had expected all things considered. But this week, I lost 2.4 lbs of it. I am very proud of that. I am back on track and doing the best I can. It can only get easier as Prince Charming starts his new job and our finances get better. It is hard cooking two meals a day, but I have decided I am worth it. My health is worth it. I take care of my family and I need to take care of me to do it.

No change in my weight this week. No big surprise, I have had a stressful, stressful week. Here's to better weeks ahead.

Well, I am down 1.6 lbs this week. I am very happy with that loss considering the weeks I have had previously. This way of eating seems to be working for me. It is a healthy way of feeling satisfied and I am loving some of the meals I have come up with. Last night I had rice with corn, mushrooms and tomatoes and beans and zucchini and some spices and it was really yummy and satisfying.

Thoughts

I have been struggling. Mostly because I am trying to balance my diet with an extremely tight budget and living in a small town that has very limited variety available. But I have decided that I need to get back to basics. I need to quit trying to figure out new ways of doing this and just cut it back to it's simplest form and what worked for me. And basically that was:

- no added fat
- no sugar (sugar gives me cravings and makes me overeat)
- no meat or animal products.

That's it. As simple as that. I can do that.

As for my weigh-in this week, I am pretending not to notice that being sick has made me overeat like crazy and that I am actually up five pounds this week, while I cough and hack and wheeze myself silly.

I lost 1.4 lbs this week. That is not bad considering I decided to relax and just not stress so much about my diet for a while. I am just trying to do my best and not to get so worked up about it. I guess a relaxed me does okay too.

I am down 1.2 lbs this week, which I will be honest is nothing less than a miracle. I am really struggling with this right now, but I will come out on the other side victorious.

I stayed the same this week. Considering that this week was Princess Belle's birthday and I ate ENTIREDLY too much I will take it.

I had a great weigh-in today! I lost 3.4 lbs this week. I am sure all the snow shoveling had something to do with it, but I am thrilled. I am down 45.2 lbs since July 23!

Well, I had my weigh-in this morning and it was a lovely surprise. I was convinced I wasn't going to lose this week. I was hoping to just break even and have a better week next week. I had been working so hard, but every time I stopped working, I was STARVING and I ate every vegan yummy thing I could find. Well, I guess the working burned off the extra calories I was eating and I actually lost 1.8 lbs!! I weigh less now than I did when I was in college! It is a good day. Here's to a good week next week.

I forgot to tell you about my weigh-in on Friday. I was only down .2lbs, but I am not at all stressed about it, I am eating healthy, I am never hungry, and I am pretty active. I can only just keep getting healthier from here on out.

I am happy to say that I noticed last night that a few more things are fitting me now that weren't before. I love those kinds of victories.

I am down One pound this week. Considering the time of the month, I am thrilled with that! I love that I have been eating lots of yummy vegan foods. I am always full. I never sit around feeling deprived and hungry. I even made myself a yummy vegan dinner when Prince Charming and the kids had a pizza and I didn't feel deprived.

I am thinking about Christmas dinner and what vegan goodness I can add to it to make my dinner feel special. You know what they say . . . Failure to plan is planning to fail.

I know I have been bad about weighing in the last few hectic weeks, but I am here and settled and I am back to weighing in again.

I am down .2 lbs. This isn't bad considering how I was behaving for a while. But I am eating healthy, and feeling good right now.
