this week kind of sucked
Jun 10, 2010
this week just sucked in general. the scales didn't go down at all for me. i'm stuck at 232-233. i HATE plateaus! i only walked 3 days this week because i've been so dang exhausted. i'm not making excuses, i'm just documenting so i can see where the problem is. i've had zero energy, i've had a fierce headache EVERY day this week, my sleep pattern is shot to hell. i can't sleep more than 4 hours at a time. it's been like this all week. i'll get off work at 8am, sleep til noon at the absolute latest (not by choice, i just wake up), get up and move around, take a nap from about 6-9pm so i won't be in too bad of shape for work that night. i try to lay back down at around 4-5pm and sleep til 9, but i just lay there...eyes sleepy, but they won't close. i'm physically and mentally exhausted. i don't know why the scales are stuck. i'm trying so hard to break into the 220s. I have an ultimate goal of being in one-derland by the end of the year but if I keep progressing like this, it's not gonna happen. what else can i do?!?! i normally eat less than 30 carbs/day. i cheated last sunday and ate one meal from olive garden, i had braised beef and tortellini. i refuse to feel bad about a cheat day. do you know how long it's been since i've had carbs!? grr...i'm just frustrated. i never had a nutritionist, my surgeon was my advice go-to guy, but he up and moved to missouri. i'm frustrated with him too. he comes home once a month for fills and follow ups, but the appointments are rushed because he has to see all the bariatric patients in one day. there will be like 8 people at a time in the radiology waiting room for a fill. how can he pay attention to my needs if he's rushing to get through? the only advice he gives now is to eat less than 30 grams of carbs and exercise 3x/week. well...i've been doing this and nothing else is happening. my inches aren't moving either. i was seeing more prominent neck muscles and collarbones and thought i was losing inches, but when i took measurements, everything was the same. :( anyway, i'll be more optimistic about this upcoming week. i'm just feeling like giving up at this moment.
