Day 110

Okay! Finally! Sorry about not being here guys. I just needed some time. I was stressing so much over everything and I had so much to do. I just wasn't getting better. So I gave myself some room on Christmas, especially since I wasn't well enough to cook the whole meal myself, and I just tried to relax. Today I am kind of tired and my sleep schedule is off...but I feel so much better. I even made it to my meeting this morning, so I have official totals! Of course scales were off, but not too badly honestly. My scale at home said 361.6 a week ago, and the scale at weight watchers this morning said 363.6 which brings my total lost for the weeks missed to 10 lbs exactly, and my total so far to: 54.2 lbs! I'm pretty happy. That total alone feels like pure motivation. I can do this, I didn't give up because of a holiday or being sick. I'm sure my performance would have been better without both of those factors, but I am still moving in the right direction. Tomorrow I am making a commitment to go back to the gym. I am going to have to start out a little slower and make my way back to where I was, but I have waited long enough I think.

Also I made it to my January 1st goal of 25lbs lost! On that day I weighed 390.4 and since then I have lost 26.8lbs. My next goal is to lose another 25lbs by February 28th 2010 (9 more weigh ins)! This would bring my total lost to 79.2lbs and my weight would be 338.6. I'm stoked! I have another goal also. I want to get back below 345 which is the lowest weight I can remember seeing on the scale in the last (over) 10 years. I saw this number when I was low carbing it, and while it is less than I weigh right now, I have currently lost more weight than I ever have before on any diet.

Now this is Sunday's post, and it is very early, but I wanted to get everything straight. I may have more to say later.

Today:
1 cup cooked oatmeal: 2
1/2 cup blueberries: 1
1 can soup: 3
2 slices cheese: 2
1 serving cheddar rice crisps: 2
1 arnolds sandwich thin: 1
1 serving mustard: 1
1 serving pickles: 0
1 serving turkey breast: 3
1 slice cheese: 1
1 piece chocolate (yep.): 2
1 whole sub from subway (out shopping, needed to get my points in, in a healthy way as my sleep schedule is off and bed time is now between 11 and 1 for me as opposed to 3 and 4am as it should be): 10
w cheese: 2
w lite mayo: 2
1 serving sunchips: 4
1 fiber one yogurt: 1
Total for the Day: 37/43

Eek. 6 points leftover. I will get back in the habit of making it to my points. I threw myself off when I wasn't able to make it to my points total while sick. On the plus side, my tummy seems to be back in order.

Day 48

I lost 2.8 lbs this week! Bringing my grand total to 27.4. Yes! I currently weigh 390.4. My next weight goal is 376.8. At that point I will have lost 10% of my original body weight. I dont have like a timed goal or anything though. Maybe I should set one. I think there are 9 weigh ins between now and the first of January. I would like to lose 20-25lbs by then. I dont know if that weight goal is too much though. I am averaging 3.9lbs a week right now, but I know it slows. In the past I have averaged 3lbs a week pretty regularly.

I feel pretty good today. I didn't make it to the faire today because the traffic was so incredibly bad, but we did get the grocery shopping done. I'm making this post short because I have to get up so early tomorrow, but tomorrow night I have 3 new recipes to post on my recipe blog!

Today:
1 veggie burger: 2
1 english muffin: 1
1/2 serving corn: 1
1/2 serving rice cakes: 1
1 serving 0pt soup: 0
1/2 burger no bun: 2
1 baked potato w/ cheese: 7
1 small chili: 4
1 granola bar: 1
1 serving BBQ soy crisps: 2
1 yogurt parfait: 2
12 bbq meat balls: 7
1 serving oven "fried" apples: 1
1 serving steamed veggies: 0
1 piece fat free corn bread: 2

Since I am going to bed I don't want to really push my points. Anyway, long day tomorrow leading into a long week! Back to the gym for me!

Thanks for all of the well wishes! It worked!
