Friday Morning Weigh In

Today was another one of those days that makes you scratch your head.  Yesterday I was at 136.6 and this morning I woke up and weighed in at 138.8.  I don't know how my body gained over 2 pounds overnight but I feel poofy.  I haven't really eaten terribly, no pig outs but I also haven't been tracking calories and just eating normally if that makes sense.  I haven't been trying hard to eat really well but I haven't overeaten on crap either, kind of in between. 

I have partly been in this mode because we are going to try and have a baby soon, and I don't want to just start pigging out when I find out I'm pregnant for the 2 weeks before I get sick (I always start feeling nauseous at 6 weeks).  It seems that I've always been trying to lose weight when I get pregnant, and then when I find out, I just start eating everything I've been depriving myself of for the past while and end up gaining 10ish pounds in the first trimester.  So, in order to avoid feeling like I've been deprived, I have just been eating normal meals whenever I want and an occasional treat and snack when I am hungry.  I have just been letting my body hunger control when and what I eat.  I don't know if it will help, but I am going to try it.

Anyway, I'm so happy to hear that my weight loss blogging buddy Katie is pregnant and I wish her all the best going the other direction now :)

In other news, I went out to go jogging yesterday morning and ended up running into a friend.  We ran and walked a mile together and then she was done so we just walked and went a total of 2.25 miles together.  When I got home, my right knee was acting up so I decided to not go out and exercise anymore even though I was planning to get my heart rate going more.  My knee continued to swell all day and I couldn't kneel on it.  Today it doesn't feel as swollen and only hurts a little when walking around but it still hurts to put full pressure on when kneeling.  Hmmm, hopefully it will heal soon and exercise will really become the norm again.

Friday Morning Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 136.  This is up 0.4 pounds from last week and I honestly thought I would weigh in higher since I haven't eaten well this week.  I did however start exercising more and exercised Mon-Wed.  I would've exercised on Thursday but I was literally on the go all day long from 7 AM - 9:30 PM.  How are you doing?

Friday Morning Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 135.6, just 0.4 pounds up from last week.  I did a little exercise this week of swimming with my family on Monday and an exercise bike on Thursday so I'm doing a little better although I tweaked my knee on the exercise bike so it is aching a lot.  I did also walk around Mirror Lake today which we figured to be about 1.5 miles.

I am doing well, and feeling good although I was very munchie and in the mood for treats all week.  I have also had a visit from aunt flo this week so I'm not sure why I don't weigh more with my treats and girly time going on.  Oh well, I'm not complaining.  I'll probably wake up in a few days weighing 3 pounds more, lol! 

Well, I hope my knee calms down and I can get back into exercising full force again, I really need to do better at staying healthy that way.

Friday Morning Weigh In

This week I weighed in at 135.2, down 4.2 pounds from last Friday.  I tried really hard to eat well and eat less sugar.  In fact, I didn't eat sugar except for Wednesday when I had multiple desserts at multiple shindigs :)

When I don't eat sugar, the weight just melts off, I don't know why, it just does.  I can even eat basically whatever I like and not eat really low calories or count calories and I still lose weight.  It's really the perfect thing for me to follow because there are so many choices that I DO like that are not sweet.  I still have cravings for sugar but nothing seems very constrictive after my yeast free diet.  In fact, eating no sugar is really a cake walk for me, for a little while anyway :)

I also put cut up vegetables and fruit on the counter so when I was hungry, I went for those instead of crackers and cheese type items.  I have eaten lots of raspberries, cherries, tangerines, bananas, celery and broccoli this week.  

I still need to get back into exercising, still not on that band wagon yet.

Reading through

So, I have been reading through my weight loss blog and I see over and over the promises that I make to myself and then only keep them for a little while and quit.  In some ways, it seems pretty pathetic that I can't just stick to my guns for longer than about 2 weeks without giving up and giving into my sugar and junk food cravings.  Now, I'm not saying that I am trying something new right now, but rather I don't want to commit on my blog to do something unless I am really going to follow through.  I think if someone who doesn't know me read through my blog they would find me to be a bit of a fool so I am going to work on changing that image around.

This past week I completely sabotaged my diet and I felt heavier and poofier than I have for a while and I did not like the way I feel.  The absolute highest I will let myself get is 140 and I came pretty close to that on Monday morning.  I am working hard once again to eat better and exercise so that I can feel better about myself again. 

Justin and I have been talking about when to have our next baby and so far the plan is to try in the fall so I want to feel good about myself when we try and try to have a healthy pregnancy if I can.

Friday Morning Weigh In

I did not get a good weigh in on Friday since we left at 8 AM on a mini vacation to visit my Mom in Wales for the weekend for Welsh Days.  I stepped on the scale and it said 139.4 but I was feeling swollen and a little plugged up if you know what I mean.  On Wednesday I walked around the Zoo for 3 hours and then mowed for an hour, ate well and I gained weight overnight.  It didn't make sense and on Thursday it didn't go down but up again too.  I haven't been great at eating well but with today being Fast Sunday it's a good day to start again at being healthy.  I exercised a few times this week and felt good but I just poofed up, lol!

Ok, I just stepped on the scale after a weekend of treats and delicious food and I am at 138.8, up about 3 pounds from last week but I probably deserve it.  I ate badly all week!

Justin and I are thinking it is time to have another baby soon and I would love to be at least 135 when I get pregnant so I am going to work hard to get back down to where I was.  It would be awesome to be 6 pounds lighter when getting pregnant than last time.

I am ready to try harder this week, enough going up and up.
