Weightloss Update

So I've had some moments of weaknesses in the past couple days.  Last Saturday was the Big Mac.  But at least still lost 1 lb.  I've had a bag of Sour Cream Onion chips 2 days ago and last night had popcorn with butter.  So bad but I worked a 13 hr shift and couldn't get the popcorn idea out of my mind even though my 'supposed' deterent was that I was getting weighed today after work.  Oh well.....

Today is day 18....12 more injections to go.  I made a marinara sauce a couple days ago and have eaten it once so far.  I put it on the cooked ground beef and tasted pretty good.  The sauce is quite similar to a restaurant marinara sauce.  Bonus. 

My weigh in was 12 lbs lost since first weight.  Pretty good but not great.  This whole process is about ONE day at a time.  Pre-cook the meals but just get through each day on their own otherwise the goals are harder to achieve.  Especially when it comes to following the menu to a tee.  I only ate 2 apples and 1 orange and water before my weigh in after 3:00 pm....I know, I know, not enough calories and I felt the fatigue so tomorrow back to normal eating.  I've been perfect today so hope for nice loss tomorrow am.

Day 15 & 16

I'm at a total of 12 lbs lost.

It was amazing how that happened though as I gave into temptation yesterday because of a little inconvenience.  I had to go to McDonald's to get my niece & nephew dinner so ended up getting dad and I each big macs and fries.  Mmmmmmmmmm.................  Been way too long.  Anyways,  I didn't gain this am but rather lost 1 lbs to total 12 lost.  I seriously couldn't believe it.  I went on the scale about 3x to test it.  Even last nite I prepared my mind for a gain of approx 2 lbs.  BUT once again I know this isn't typical and won't happen again if I give in so badly.

The day before I was down 0.5 lbs but hey, that's ok too.

On Day 18 I'll head to the Dr's office to weigh in and I hope the lady there will be ok with my loss as I think it should be closer to 16-18 lbs.  Stay tuned for update then.

Day 14

I'm down 1 lb this am so my total to date is 10.5 lbs.  Now that's more like it, the way it's supposed to be.  Sheesh....cravings and giving into them (while on this diet) aren't worth it when there's no leway (?spelling) given.

Dad is home now for 1 week and mom comes home in 2.5 days so that's a good thing because I kinda have a 'watch dog' around.  Dad won't say anything because he doesn't know all the diet details but because there's another person in the house my conscience is on high alert.  Wknds are never fun so I'm going to lay low and keep my mind pre-occupied. 

Sat evening I'm babysitting anyways....well assisting dad in the cricket babysitting.  Grandpas are different than grandmas when it comes to babysitting their grandkids.  So in this case, bring in the auntie to assist :)

Here's hoping for another good day!

Oh, and one little tid bit of unrelated information..... I LOVE MY JOB!

Today is day 13, but I'm talking bout day 12

Just a quick little talk.....on my way out to work.

This am I gained 0.5 lbs but am thinking 2 things.
1. it's a catch up of my devious behaviour 2 days ago OR
2. it was the little bit of mini marshmallows I gobbled up (without partially knowing it) yesterday.

Let me quickly explain.  After work I had to do an errand then go to dr's appt then home.  I was going out at 630pm so thought I could get in a nap (which are usually 2 hrs).  When I woke up at 6pm, I was hungry but had to quickly hop into the shower, dry off etc, then figure out if I had time to eat something before leaving.  I opened cupboards and found some mini marshmallows, popped a few (maybe 10) then thought better to microwave the already cooked chicken I had and ate that (not so great).  But get this!  I barely realized I ate the marshmallows when I was eating them.....first cause I went back to old habits and second cause I was so hungry I didn't really care/notice what I was eating.  Crazy eh? And that's the truth, not an excuse.  So up my weight went this am.  Well I'm back on the train and driving it too!!  The next 17 days will be killer as in the killing of the fat!

Day 11 - not so good

First I have to make a correction to a previous post....when I said I lost 10.5 lbs I actually was down 9.5 lbs...not sure how I gibbled that math up.

Anyways, this am I finally reached 10 lbs.  Yesterday I didn't have a loss and the day before was only 0.5 lb loss.

Today mom has left town for a few days and I gave into temptation.  I feel bad but am not gonna beat myself up over it as I had a mental fight before hand, and what a fight it was  (yes, no, yes, no, yes).  I looked at the item, put it back in the cupboard and then said (in my mind) "screw it".  Stupid tempatation.  Half way thru eating I was done with the tempation but the item wasn't gone so about 30 min later finished it to get rid of it.  Ugh...oh well.  I'm not gonna bow to the porclein god either, no point.  (TMI??)

I can only hope for no loss tomorrow or a loss, of course, as this has happened before but it's NEVER to be bet on.

Update tomorrow.

First Big Number

The first big number is 10 lbs lost and this AM I am at 10.5 lbs loss.  The loss in the last 24 hrs is 2.5 lbs, I like those ones :)
