Stalled and broken!!

Nov 22, 2010

Wow I am here to tell you stalls are really hard on the head. Really... So I stalled a week and a half ago. Actually I went up 3 lbs from my lowest. This did mess with my mind, it wasn't because of not losing weight although that was crappy also. It was because of past failures and figuring that I had lost 40lbs, stopped and would now gain again. It has been my old cycle in the past and so it is the familiar thought pattern you turn to. I knew deep down that this was different and my body was just trying to recuperate from losing 40lbs in 4 weeks, however.... still hard to tell my mind that. So today I am happy and very thankful to say that I am 1lb below my lowest(41lbs now) that means I am back down 4 from a week and a half ago. yay yayaayyy thank you Jesus for your faithfulness. Also TMI I haven't had a period since surgery and am due this week so once that happens things may really take off. I am excitedly drinking my protein shake this am, am going to go for a record of 3 today(that would be 90g of protein, if I succeed) and that would be just in the shakes. Premier Protein shakes from Cosco rock!! Awsome stats for those of you who want to know:160 cal, 3g fat, 30g of protein and1g of sugar in 325ml, that is great stats! So those are my go to protein and believe it or not they do not taste like whey protein, I know it sounds to good to be true but,,, its true! They only come in chocolate but they honestly taste like choc milk. So that is my commercial for this blog. Yesterday Sloan(my 3 year old, and my baby) went to Ormoncto hospital to have his teeth fixed. He was put to sleep and the dentist fixed like 6 teeth. (or more) and cleaned them and coated the rest of the molars not fixed. So that is such a relief to have behind us and maybe I was stressing about it more than I thought. Grammy Costain came with us and he did amazing. Was not a happy camper to not have his sippy cup all morning but by 10:30 am was in surgery and out in 1hr and 15 minutes crying for mommy. It snowed hard and we made it home safely, God is good. I think that is all pertinant information for now and talk to you soon fellow Wls peoples. xoxo Trish. Oh yes I should mention the "head hunger" thing. For the first 2 weeks mostly after surgery I had alot of cravings and wanting my favorite foods. I was quite worried believing that sooner or later I would cave and destroy my chances for success. So here is the thing, when I stick to protein, I have less cravings for carbs. When I indulge to much in carbs I crave more and more, to drive you crazy cravings. Also I found that with the third weeks the head hunger went away because you realized that you could only have a bite or two anyway and it wasn't the end of the world if you did have a bite or two, just don't make it a habit or regular thing.  My weight this am was 314.4 lbs. So yay down 41 as I mentioned up top. Lets get a going, I have 145 lbs still to lose. Bye for now, Trish
