WTH (what the heck)

Jul 19, 2011

I simply do NOT understand.  So....as of July 9th I was down 100 pounds.  It is a good thing I took a picture of those wonderful numbers on the scale because that is the very last time that I saw them.  Today....204.4 (from 201).  I would totally understand if it was for a day or so....even a week and then went back down....but today is the 20th and I still have not seen 201 or less since.  So I have determined that this gain is for real!!!!  So WTH is going on?  I have been taking water pills for the past 3-4 days...the weight still isn't coming off. It takes 3500 calories to gain a pound....that means somehow I ate 10500 calories more than normal to put on these 3 pounds.  Totally unacceptable.  I have been watching my diet, taking my vitamins, drinking a TON of water, yet the weight is still there.  Maybe I am stressing and worrying about it too much?!  Today will be Week 1 Day 2 of my Couch to 5K program.  So maybe I just need to focus on my exercise, contiuning to eat right and hopefully the weight will come off and I can not only reach my goal but make it to ONEderland....eventually.

On another NON weight loss related note I have been a little stressed about my education (which could also be keeping the weight on I guess).  I am taking courses online to get my paralegal associates degree....the only issue is that I already have an associates degree....so why get a second.  So I found a University online that offers BA degrees in paralegal or legal studies so I have decided to transfer there.  This is stressful because anytime you transfer there are possibilities for issues with financial aid which would be completely terrible as that is how I plan on funding my education.  I have decided that it is time to make better choices and getting my BA and maybe even moving forward to go to law school or get my masters in legal studies is really what I want to do.  I have done some research and the possibilities for job opportunities are wide with this degree so I am hopeful that once I graduate I will be able to find a really great job that I love and can be successful.  I want to teach my son that while things are never handed to you, you can make things happen for yourself.  Losing weight, graduating college, these are all positive things that I want to show him.  Getting away from a bad relationship is the next thing I want to tackle LOL....its an ongoing process!  But I am hopeful for the future and everything that comes with it!  (especially if this darn weight would come off LOL)
