A bit disappointed.

Apr 12, 2010

I know I shouldn't obsess about numbers.  I decided I would only weigh weekly and on the monthly anniversary of my surgery.  I have also said that I am reluctant to tie myself to a goal weight, but focus rather on goal activities.

But I am really disappointed, I only lost 0.6kg(1.2lb) this week.  Intellectually, I can say that it's just the 3rd week stall.  That I have lost the stores of glycogen and excess water and this is why the loss is low.  But emotionally, I am still bummed.

I have been doing all the right things, without becoming obsessive, I eat three tiny meals a day, protein first, keep the carbs and fat low.  I have a light snack in between (1/2 glass skim milk, or a couple of teaspoons cottage cheese or slice lowfat cheese).  I walk every day, for the last 9 - 10 days, it has been at least 3.2km (2miles) and on Saturday it was over 5km (3miles).

Because I only took my measurements and body fat on Saturday, I can't even compare those.  Clothes are a bit looser.

Oh, well, there is not much I can do, but keep doing what I am doing... the only thing I am really struggling with is getting the water down.  I have now found 'whole' water that has 5g protein, my plan is to drink one 500ml bottle in the morning and another in the afternoon at work.  That will give me at least 1 litre.

I must try and think positively, "think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts"

"Never, never, never give up"
