Weigh In 09/28/09

Well, gained 0.6 lbs this week. Same old story...ate too much & didn't work out!  Been sick for the last 2 weeks, starting another 10 day of meds today so I hope this will all be cleared up soon.  One of these days I'm going to get back on track and get to my goal.  I just don't know how soon it's gonna be.  It's hard to focus on the food when you don't feel well.

No Willpower

I don't understand why I can't just stop eating.  Last night, I had planned to stop on the way to practice and get a turkey sandwich from subway.  Ended up having to drive across town to get get Josh, get dinner and then get to the far west side in an hour.  Since he doesn't really eat anything from subway, I stopped at the pizza place instead.  Ate 2 pieces of pizza and a couple breadsticks.  Not too bad...but when I got home after preactice last night I ate more, and more, and more til the stupid pizza was gone and so were most of the breadsticks!  I wasn't even hungry but it was there and tasted good. 

I don't know why I can't seem to get this under control.  Somethings going to have to happen soon because I have almost no clothes to wear anymore.  I have a ton of work pants that I bought when I hit my lowest weight this time last year...can't even get them close to buttoned.  So annoying!

I know what I have to do, I just can't seem to do it.  I'm hoping something kicks in soon and my brain starts cooperating.

Weigh In 09/21/09

I gained 2.8 lbs this week.  Not unexpected but always annoying.  If I ever get through this stinking cold/flu maybe I can get back to working out.  I feel so sluggish when I don't workout but I can't breathe or stop coughing long enough to do more than about 2 minutes right now.  Hopefully it will clear up soon.

It's been a bad week...for several reasons.

This week has been good for nothing!  I started getting sick on Monday and still am right now.  Wasted a vacation day on Monday and a sick day on Thursday.  Probably gained 5 pounds this week because I eat & drink more when I'm sick.  The constant motion of soothing food and drink down my throat helps, but only as it's happening.  Drank more than water so that added lots of extra calories.  Didn't really eat "bad" food but lots of random things to soothe my throat.

We'll see the results tomorrow but I would bet that it's not going to be pretty.  I really don't know why I can't get back on track.  If it's not the poison sumac for a month it's this freaking cold or whatever for the last week.  Not quite sure what to do about it but hoping that being back at work all next week will keep me busy enough to not think about anything else.

We'll see but tomorrow is a new day so I will start over.  Right now, I'm going to lay down and hopefully sleep extra long so my body can fix itself!

Weigh In (WI) 09/14/09

I picked a bad week to start again on Weight Watchers. Labor Day picnic, lunch with friends & a pitch in all equal too many calories eaten.  Not to mention that the prednisone I was taking for the poison sumac has left my system and my joints are so stiff I can barely walk or stand at times.  Called the doctor today to see if I can get on a low dose for a while to see if that will help without having too many side effects.

This week I lost 0.6 pounds.

Not a big number but better than a gain, especially considering that I didn't work out the last half of the week and ate more than I probably should have.  Hoping I can focus better this week since there are no pitch in's or food days going on this week.  Hope the doctor thinks a low dose of steroids might help the joints.  That would make it so much easier to actually work out better...if I wasn't in so much pain.

If any of you are in this with me, feel free to post your weekly results here...good and bad...we accept them all.  :-)
