Not Great but Okay I Guess

Wednesday was a good day weight loss wise.  I had a big dinner, but not nearly as much snacks as the previous couple of days.  Thursday was… eh.  I had the usual lunch and the usual breakfast.  Dinner was tiny.  Why was dinner tiny?  Because of all the between meal snacking I did in the afternoon.  Some fruit, but mostly little low-cal snack packs.  I had way to much.  Hopefully my small dinner evened everything out.

I mentioned the other day that I won’t be going to my normal early morning weight watchers meeting tomorrow.  I haven’t really looked for an alternative for this week.  I’ll probably just have my first post-holiday meeting next week.  Maybe two weeks of good behavior will wipe out the damage from two weeks of bad behavior.  Not likely.

We’ll see.

Two Days Down

I did a little bit better on Tuesday than on Monday as far as eating better is concerned.  I had a slightly healthier lunch, and a much, much smaller dinner.  The snack situation was the same.  Peanuts… tons of them.  Way too much, although not as much as Monday.  I’ll take the wins any way I can get them, even if it isn’t much of a win.

There were two downsides though.  First, after lunch I had a soda.  A Coke Zero.  I needed caffeine.  I’m not happy about that, but it was necessary at the time.  I hope to do better today.  The other downside was again, no treadmill.  What the hell Rob?  You were sitting next to it as you ate all those damn peanuts!

Progress.

I also found out last night that I won’t be going to my usual Saturday morning weight watchers meeting.  There is a karate tournament that one of the black belt step kids will be competing in, and I will be taking her.  Maybe I’ll go to a Sunday meeting instead.  I wonder if there are Friday evening meetings at our branch?

Room for Improvement

I did all right yesterday.  I had a small breakfast, a smallish lunch, a smallish dinner.  That’s all good.  I did have a snack after dinner.  Peanuts are on the Simply Filling approved list, but a serving size like I had is not.  I had way too much.  I need to stop doing that.

I also failed to get my fat ass onto the treadmill.  I must start using that bastard every day.  Every.  Day.  No excuses.  It has to become part of the routine.  I’m never going to be healthy if I don’t exercise regularly and that’s the only indoor option we have.  I could go outside, but COLD.  So… no.

My goal for today:

Smaller snack portions
Use the damn treadmill

I can do it.

Torture

This morning I had a little you’re-going-to-lose-weight breakfast.

Check.

This afternoon I had a little you’re-going-to-lose-weight lunch.

Check.

Right now I am cooking a little you’re-going-to-lose-weight dinner.

Check.

Unfortunately…

 

I AM SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT MY OWN HEAD!!!!

 

I was only off the wagon for a week and a half.  It’s not like I changed my routine that much either.  I just allowed christmas themed candy and maybe an extra serving at dinner.  That’s all.  Today though… it’s like torture.  I need to eat eat eat eat.

I’ll get past this though.  I am strong.  I am red head, hear me roar!

Play Time is Over

Play time is over, fat ass.  You’ve had your little christmas vacation.  Now it’s time to drag that huge bulk you call a stomach and get back on that weight loss wagon.  The holiday break is over.  You need to eat right and exercise every single day.  You were down 37 pounds the weekend before christmas.  You probably gained 30 of that back over the last 10 days or so.  It’s time to stop all of that horse hockey crap and lose some effin’ weight!

 

 

ps: I figured I’d try the drill Sargent approach and see how it goes.  I’m going to a weight watchers meeting on Saturday and I hope to have a great week which minimizes the damage to the scale.  Think Thin!  WOOHOO

Weight Watchers Weigh In Delayed

Last week I missed my weigh in because I was at my step son’s robotics competition. Today I am missing it because of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cookies, and pretzels.

I fell of the wagon hard yesterday, but I am completely back on board today. My mission is to weigh in next Saturday and be at least level with my last weigh in.

I need to lose the equivalent of a normal sized adult human being in order to reach a healthy weight for some one my height. Progress will be made toward that goal today, my friends! Onward to the healthy goal!

I’m So Tired

I got a decent night’s sleep last night, but I am still really tired.  Not as tired as I was yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that.  I’m not doing a very good job sticking to the no caffeine policy.  In four of the last five days in the office I’ve been getting a Coke Zero after lunch because I can feel myself running out of gas.  It’s annoying to me.  I don’t want caffeine anymore.  I don’t want soda anymore.  I want to keep losing weight, and even with diet sodas I don’t feel that I am helping myself by having soda.

Oh the struggle.

In the past when I’ve lost weight I’ve felt pretty good.  What’s the deal this time?  I have lost more weight in the last two months than at any time I can remember.  Why then do I not have more energy than I did before getting on the wagon?  Why am I tired all the time.  I should have 32 pounds worth of additional feel good pep coursing through my veins.  I feel gypped.  Really.

Not that I am going to fall off the wagon any time soon.  I’m in this for the long haul.  32 pounds down, something like 160 still to go!  (not really.  I don’t have a goal in mind.  I just like the sound of what the weight value would be if I lost 190 pounds during this weight watchers stint.  A fat boy can dream, right?)

Saturday Morning

It’s 6:30am on Saturday and I’m awake. I’m out of bed. I’m not at all happy about it, but I am. We are getting ready to go to our weight watchers meeting.

I think I did okay this week. The between meal snacking seems to have gone up a little, but the actual meal time portions were generally way down. Hopefully it all evened out. I did not get any exercise in though, and that is upsetting. I need to start incorporating more of that if I want to keep getting good results.

I’m not sure what to expect today. I could be down. I could be up. It probably won’t be much either way. I’m not worried about it though because I feel like I did a decent job this week. If the numbers aren’t there today they will work out eventually.

I’m still staying positive.

Weight Watchers Weigh In

We just came home from our weigh in. After being sick for most of the week and being in a state of constant hungry horror, I was down 0.4 pounds for an eight week total of 28 pounds. I was afraid I’d be up this week, so I am happy.

Hopefully the cold will be gone next week and I’ll be able to get myself exercising again, and that should help me drop a little more. For now I am 0.4 pounds closer to being skinny. (hehe)

Jen didn’t check in last week because she was too sick to go. Today, she was down 1.2 pounds! Awesome work, Jen!
