week 11...and 1 stupid pound!!

Jun 23, 2009

I'm so fricken frustrated!!! I had a fill two weeks ago and so far I lost one whole pound!! WTH...UGH I'm so annoyed! I feel like I am doing something wrong, even though I have not changed anything. I'm even questioning what I have been doing for 11 weeks now....I feel like crying . I was stuck and then started eating a little more and then the scale moved down...isn't that ironic?? I feel like I have been losing the same 2 pounds for a month. I know that my body has done a lot these past few months and I keep telling myself to let my body rest and not to have any expectations right now...but its still frustrating.

On another hand I am having a kick ass summer!! I have had my dad and my cuz visit from AZ...and we have been out in the mountains fishing..which I would not have done before because I would of been hurting...I love it, love it, love it!!!!! Life seems to be full now...and I START SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPIE...yes losing weight has an effect on my ability to WANT to do something I have put off for a long time. Have my AAS in Criminology and here I come BAS!!!

Week Ten

Jun 19, 2009

I usually post every Tuesday but this week has been hectic my dad is in town from Arizona and we have been out fishing and having fun with the kids. Week ten has not been as easy as the past ones. I had a fill last Friday the 12Th and think I have hit restriction. I have been in pain all week. I have had this pain on and off for about seven years and just thought that it was a pinched nerve in my shoulder blade accompanied with some pain under my right boob. The pain was so bad yesterday that I couldn't take it anymore and went to urgent care for some pain relief. Come to find out that this may be my gallbladder. NICE so if that is the fact then I have been suffering for years with something I thought was something else. I even went to a spine dr. and had injections in that area to get relief. DUH and then irritation why the Dr's never picked up on it? I have an app on Tuesday and should know more. Should of have made my surgeon take the damn thing out since he was in there anyway.

I have not lost any weight since my last fill and I am mad. It seems like my body is coming to a halt. I don't understand why and have not strayed away from my diet. Its times like these that have made me fall off the wagon and I am praying for strength.

Ok 9 weeks down

Jun 08, 2009

I cant say that it has been easy. I have to learn to listen to my body, and really watch what goes into the mouth. At first I was able to restrict myself to 1/2 cup of food but after my last fill it was as if I was possessed and ate more then I should. I have a fill scheduled this week and I am praying to be closer to my sweet spot. I cant say that I don't have some restriction cause I do and like everyone else it really depends on what I am putting in. When I have the dense protein then I get full really fast but if it is mushies then I can eat about a cup.

I am doing much much better with the water thing. I have been getting my 64oz plus more on some days. I am glad for that. I do notice that when I stall it is usually because I have not had enough water or have had more salt then I should. I gave up the protein bars and lost three pounds like nothing. It was the carbs...or peanuts or something who really knows. I just have to stay away from all that. 239 is what I weighed in this morning...I am glad to see that number after being up and down in the 40's for what seemed like forever.

They just opened up a planet fitness down the street OMG I am so excited. $10 a month plus unlimited access to tanning and massage...you cant get a better deal then that. I have not been as active as I should have and that's what I am going to work on this week.

So I am doing good
and cant wait til fill on Friday!!

2 Months

Jun 03, 2009

Ok two months down and 28 lbs down, and I know I need a fill. I thought that so full feeling would last forever, and frankly it is frustrating. I'm not eating nearly what I did before and it feels like the scale is still punishing me. No I didn't expect to lose weight over night but with such a drastic change in my diet I thought I would be further along. 28 lbs is good, but the biggest frustration is the fluctuations in my weight from day to day, it drives me crazy. I don't eat bread, rice or pasta at all. I make sure to get my protein first and if there is room then I will have a veggie. I can eat up to a cup of food and that's why I figure I need a fill. Before I had my last fill and was in that "hell" phase I made sure to not eat more then 1/2 cup, now it seems like I'm pushing it and maybe that's why I'm not losing anything. Who knows..UGH don't it make you want to scream at the top of your lungs!!! I have a fill scheduled next week thank god and hopefully I will get to some sort of restriction, I have some just not enough....oh where oh where are you sweet spot!!!!
