7lbs. 2 Days.

June 21, 2011

How does a person gain 7lbs in 2 days?!? HOW!?!?

You visit your pushy, controlling, "What? You don't like my cooking??" boyfriend's father for Father's Day weekend. I know what I put in my mouth is ultimately my choice, but this past weekend I was definitely put in positions where I was either without better food choice options or felt like "I had" to eat what was cooked. Not to mention I have been eating super healthy lately, and Matt's parents - well, they don't. Everything is processed food and there is virtually no balance between veggies, carbs and proteins (everything is meat and carbs).

My stomach is in complete knots and has been since Saturday. Saturday night I woke up at 3am in a hot sweat, stomach in serious pain and unable to fall back asleep. Yesterday, I even left work early because I was in so much pain. Today isn't much better.

Next time we go up to visit his family I am bringing my own food. I am so frustrated because not only am I in pain, but I was at a new low in my weight loss and only 1.7lbs away from my Nebraska goal. Now I am WAY UP and going to have to bust ass to get back down to my low and I don't even know if I can meet my Nebraska goal anymore. I am not going to have an official weigh-in  until the morning I leave for Nebraska but I will be sure to update everyone with my progress along the way. I have 11 days to get down into the 140's...

I hope everyone had a better weekend than I did. :/

Up and Down

June 10, 2011

The past week as been insane and brutal with my weight loss. Last week I was down to 152.2. My lowest low so far. At one point over last weekend I even saw 151.1 on the scale. I bought myself a pair of jeans 2 sizes smaller that the ones that were currently hanging in my closet. I then proceeded to pull out my "Skinny jeans" - not because they are the skinny jeans style, but because they are actually a size 8 and I haven't fit into those in well over a year. Well I pulled on the "skinny" size 8 jeans and to my astonishment they actually fit. I am not saying they fit perfectly, but even a bit snug, I almost wore them that day but opted for the jeans I just bought instead.

So my week started off well. Then Tuesday was my anniversary with my man, and I ate. Alot. Then Wednesday my company was hosting an all-day business seminar, at which I started off watching my eating (even brought my own breakfast and lunch!) but then I lost all control during the networking reception afterwards (free drinks and delish apps!). THEN, yesterday my company was sponsoring a hole at a BBB Golf tournament which meant my coworker and I were out on the green from 10am-5pm yesterday with beer, snack food, and then were treated to a delicious dinner during the awards ceremony.

CRAP. CRAP. CRAP. Let's just say, the scale didn't say 152.2 when I stepped on it this morning for my weigh-in.

I am getting so frustrated with this roller coaster crap. One week my weight plummets and then the following week, I gain like 4 lbs! How is that even possible? It's not like I have been eating an entire pizza every meal, everyday for the past week.

UGH. As I have mentioned recently,  I am flying out to Nebraska with my boyfriend over 4th of July to visit his family. I was hoping to be 145 by then, but at this rate and this roller coaster pattern, I am just praying for anything in the 140's.

But today is a new day, right? So far so good :)

Hope everyone else has a good weekend!
