'Kay. Sad. But not devastated. Gained a pound this week. Now I realize I sound quite melodramatic, jeez, a lb? So what?! But I really am trying to go DOWN and not back up.
Here's the thing...I was really quite 'good' all week. (I am supposed to start my period at any time. So maybe I'm retaining water.) We didn't eat out (until lunch yesterday - the day before weigh in, yeah, I know) BUT, I did not drink my water this week, like hardly ANY water ALL week. Maybe ONE 8 oz. glass per day. I don't know how many times it'll take for me to remember that I HAVE to drink water, lots, every day!
The weirder thing....I'd gained 2 lbs. as of Friday a.m. and we had Thai food for lunch (I was behaved, had a small cup of soup, a VERY small salad, and then chicken & chinese broccoli with a scoop of white rice - probably way more calories than I THINK it had but I didn't get crazy). What makes that WEIRDER is that I LOST one lb. from Fri. a.m. to Sat. a.m. Go figure.
SO bottom line, my goal this week is to DRINK MY WATER!!!!! That's all I'm going to worry about, yes not eating out, not eating badly at home (very hard to do these days). I will just drink my water and I've thrown in some green tea for good measure.
Not really any thrilling ephiphanies this week, just this whole thing is OLD but it works, so I have to keep plugging ahead. Sigh.
3 mos. 35 lbs. Hope for better numbers but at least I'm 35 less than I was three months ago. I really wanna lose 25 more lbs. by July 1.
Food today:
mmm, you don't want to know
water: 4 glasses
OK, I wasn't going to mention this and if blogger eats it, I'll know I'm suppose to shut up.
ReplyDeleteI'm concerned about the joints. After having done all of the reading I've done (and going through that replacement surgery twice) the cartilage damage from the weight is ongoing.
Jack's girlfriend's dad is on the HCG thing under a doctor's close care. He started out at over 400 lbs. last fall. Is down by almost 200 lbs. He does walk, because he works at Home Depot, but says he is feeling so much better even though he has more to go.
I know taking it off slow is the best thing, but I was just wondering if a kick start to at least get 100 off wouldn't really help.

Shit, the joints bug me too! I completely agree and I wonder the same thing, if I could drop that much super quick would it help? I just don't know. About 5 lbs. ago, I started to notice that my knees were actually hurting a lot less and I could move more easily and even dance a little. But now they are hurting again. And it's more than just the knees, it's ALL my joints and just a general overall ache, discomfort thing. So truthfully, I'm wondering if there something MORE going on than just that. Honestly though until I can get about 100 off, I just don't know what I should do. I know someone doing the HCG and that person is dropping weight like gangbusters too. SO your thoughts are most welcome and I totally get what you are saying and I have more to say but I'm going to do another blog entry....
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is, Mike had all of his pain in his knee. The hip was the problem, but the pain radiated because with how he was compensating, the muscles and tendons were torquing the knee. He still has to be careful. Just sitting in the wrong chair will end up with him having several days of pain. I'm not sure you can have any type of meaningful evaluation until the weight is down.
ReplyDeleteG - that is absolutely correct, by my estimate, I won't know what I'm really dealing with until I can get 100 lbs. off. I think once I hit that milestone, I'll have a MUCH better idea as to whether the loss of weight is really going to help me. And you make a good point, I've never considered how my body may be compensating putting even MORE stress on my knees.
