April 17/18

Finding everything is throwing me off track lately. The place I’ve worked for the last 16 years closed down. Last week was the last week and there were potlucks every day and at the end of production on Friday I invited everyone back here for a drink. We were done about 10:30 in the morning and I don’t think the last person left until 11 pm, lol. There was a ridiculous amount of food left and I thought I might as well continue splurging for the weekend and start fresh on Monday. Sound familiar? My week of eating what I want when I want has led to a ten pound weight gain 😳. Did I get back on track yesterday, you ask? Nope. We had an ice storm which took out power to the town so school was canceled. I couldn’t go to the gym as a result and then I found some cookies my husband stashed and there was the start of another binge filled day :(

Today is a new day and I’m struggling with my mindset but so far holding on (by my fingernails). Two weeks ago I was feeling unstoppable and amazing. Why would food be more important than that feeling? The mud run is under six weeks away now and I need to get motivation NOW

Help...

Here we go...

April 4/18 Weigh in Wednesday Down 1.5 lbs Total -67 lbs So after my last weigh in I held strong for about three days. Then I went to the movies and ate the popcorn and that was the start of a five day binge. Why? I wish I had the answer to that question. Of course I feel fantastic losing over 65 pounds but I start negotiating with myself. You ate the popcorn, might as well get the chips on the way home, start fresh tomorrow. The negotiations continue the next day and so forth. You know how many times I’ve told myself I’ll start tomorrow? 62,387. And counting. The silver lining is that I am learning and letting less time lapse before I give my head a good shake. In the past month my weight crept up to 249.5 lbs before I said enough is enough. The weight is back off but the yo-yo-ing has to stop. That being said I’ve joined a gym and look forward to going daily as I’m losing my job in 8 days. There’s a mud run to train for... Here we go...

Nov. 15/17 Weigh in Wednesday Up 2.5 lbs Total -53.5 lbs Enough is enough. I’ve been waffling (is that a word?) for months now. Down 3, up 2, down 1, up 2...you get the idea. I tried to look at the past and see when I was successful what was I doing differently? The one big change is I don’t log every day anymore. That changes now. I’ve been as low as 246 in the last couple weeks and I bet I haven’t seen the 230’s in over a decade! I’m so close, not sure what psychological block I have about this weight but historically this is where I usually quit. Not this time. I have realized that it’s not how many times I fail but how many times I get back up again. Never give up...we got this. Here we go....

Weigh in Wednesday Down 6.5 lbs Total -52 lbs Been awhile since I posted and realized I was way more successful when posting everyday. The scale says down 6.5 lbs since my last weigh in but in reality is has probably exceeded 30 lbs. I would lose 5, gain 3, lose 1, gain 2. I have been so wishy washy since I've stopped posting on here and enough is enough, time to buckle down! Weeks ago I entered a 10k race as incentive to exercise but I haven't even trained for it and it's in 3 weeks 😳. I have already started another 100 day wheat free challenge and am going to make a commitment to exercise daily.... Here we go....

Day IDK - Aug 29/17

So, life has hit me right upside the head. It has been a busy couple weeks, my son suffered a serious concussion, our house was broken into and I lost my way for awhile. It's funny, when someone loses a significant amount of weight everyone wants to know their secret, what trick do they know? Can I have a drumroll please? It is all about your mindset, it is about consistency. I could lose weight any number of ways....weight watchers, keto, smaller portions, hours in the gym, eliminating food groups, hypnosis. There are a thousand diet books out there and most of them probably work if you have the right mindset and stay consistent. Unfortunately our mind is a terrible, uh, I mean tricky thing. It wants whatever is easy, those good old habits. I've been fighting myself for some time now. Isn't it easier to sit on the couch rather than exercise? Wouldn't it be just easier to skip that work out? Wouldn't it be easier to give in to those cravings? DON'T LISTEN!!!! If you can ignore this voice and stay in the right mindset then you too will win the game of weight loss. There were a number of days since I posted last where all I ate was garbage. For a week straight I ate a big bag of chips everyday and then more. But after a few days I started arguing with this voice. Are you crazy? Do you want to gain all the weight back? Was it easy being over 300 lbs? No. I climbed back on that mother fucking wagon and held on tight. At first I got back to basics for me. No wheat. That was my only promise for the first couple of days then I started walking again (I registered for a 10k in October). I'm proud to say I've since hit a couple of milestones. I have now lost over 50 pounds and the jeans I am wearing today have not fit for two years :) Stay strong. We got this.

Here we go.......
