Happy Thanksgiving
Going to the doctor soon after Thanksgiving dinner is not a good idea when you are trying to lose weight. And after almost two weeks of minimal activity due to my back. Weight for it … (not a typo!) I weighed in at 194. The most I weighed when 9 months pregnant was 165. Houston, we have a problem. At this rate I’m going to become a planetary body. The only bright side of this is that the nurse called me “cutie pie”. =) Too bad she’s old enough to be my mother. I should have brought pie with me. Working on the holiday can’t be fun. Actually, more bright side, my BP was 112/65 but my resting HR was 84. I should probably see my reegular doctor for a full physical soon. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Not such a good start
Still holding steady at 183-185lbs. I need to keep better track of what I’m eating. Like this morning I had some Nestle Breakfast Essentials, a cup of tea, and I just noshed on a twix bar (sooo good!) for my mid-morning snack. Lunch is already planned - pastrami and swiss on wheat with a handful of pita chips and an arizona raspberry iced tea. Healthy snacks in abundance - going to be walking around the Aquarium of the Pacific with my daughter, neice, and mom today. I might faint when/if I ever get below 180. Current goal is 160. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Minor frustration
I seem to have lost 5-7lbs … hovering between 185 and 183 in the morning the last few days, but I swear my gut and thighs are in denial. My belly pooch makes me look about 3 months preggers and my pants still don’t fit right in the thigh area. And my arms. I can’t wear dress shirts or long sleeves. Only sleeveless or loose sweaters otherwise it’s too tight in the underarm area. The most frustrating thing about my recent weight gain …ok, the last 20lbs … is that I never know what clothes are going to fit from one day to the next. About to be late for work, more later. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Forget the weight, time to lose inches!
I’m holding steady at 185lbs as of this mornings weigh-in but my jeans are still too tight! And they are my stretch jeans. It’s all in my thighs, because my pants are definitely looser around my waist (small Yay! Gone from full-blown dunlop back to a muffin-top). Time to hit the stairs I think. By the way, if I were 185lbs and all muscle, I’d be happy. But unfortunately, you can pinch much more than an inch on me. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Morning weigh-in
*away* from the wall 187# *next* to the wall 180# I’ll take the 187. Its less than 190# And if you happened to see my tweet last night, no, I didn’t walk this morning. I kept my happy butt in bed where it’s warm (it hit the mid-20s last night). I’m more a creature of comfort than I suspected. Off to work I go! ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
I hate my scale
It lies to me. Depending on where I place it - within a six-inch area- it tells me I weigh either 183 or 190 lbs. Can someone explain this to me? If I have it flush with the wall, it tells me I weigh between 180 and 185. If I pull it away just a few inches *BoOM* my weight jumps to 190! This is what happened the other night when I thought I had lost a bunch of weight. I just moved the scale back so I wasn’t nose-to-wall. Any theories will be appreciated. I really do hate scales, I avoid them at all costs except at the doctor’s office. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Something is working ... or not
Fully clothed, but before I inhale Ben and Jerry’s while watching Castle. The scale says *drumroll please* … ok, my eyes are playing tricks on me. *sigh* 190lbs. It better be because I am pmsing and (slightly) bloated. Before I wrote this I was so excited because I stepped on the scale and it looked liked I was down to 180lbs. I guess I hopped on and off too fast. Lunch was 2 chicken tacos, rice, pinto beans with cheese. I didn’t even eat the corn tortillas on the second taco, just ate the chicken. Stress ate 4 mini-reese’s peanut butter cups and a handful of gummibears. Maybe I do eat more candy than I thought I did…. trail mix tomorrow for sure. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Monday
It’s Monday. I woke up late, I think my period is about to start but I’m down to 185lbs! Time for work. I need to pick up something healthy for lunch. Just had another Nestle Breakfast Essentials for breakfast. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
End of day - almost
I’m retaining water — I have “cankles” ( http://www.urbandictionary.com/iphone/search?term=cankles) — so I’m relunctant to weigh myself. And yes, I wore boots today. Thank goodness they stretch. Only noticed when I changed to capris after church, and then changed right into some sweat pants. I won’t inflict that on the world. Thank me later. About an hour ago my mom asked if I had eaten any real food: Breakfast - breakfast shake (nestle breakfast essentials) After church snack - apple streudal slice Lunch - kids movie snack pack Dessert - coffee and butterfinger brownie from It’s a Grind (I was working while josh was at youth group) Ok, so maybe I don’t eat as healthy as I thought I did. And now for dinner having a homemade grilled chicken sandwich with cheese. I guess I’ll be drinking water and weighing myself in the morning. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
Morning weight
About 186. Yesterday I ate mostly meat. Breakfast shake, then Josh made me an avocado burger, then ribs and a few veggies. Movement was non-existent. I either lay in bed or sat on the couch playing scrabble and watching TV. This morning was a little better. Rebooted laundry, sorted out 4 loads, started one, did dishes, now getting ready for church. ~~Annette — please excuse typos, sent from my phone.
