Looks like I'm up a whoppin' .4 pound today. LOL, I thought it was going to be SO much worse!
What can I say? I'm a worry wart!
My parents are currently on their way over to lend me a few fans. Our big industrial one crapped out on us at about 4:45 this morning. Murphy strikes again! The upside is that it won't sound like a plane engine running in the living room for awhile. Until we replace it, that is.
I'm down another 1.8 pounds this morning. I think I'm just sweating it off! More likely, it's the combination of the heat and being turned off food until 10 or 11 at night when it's finally a decent temperature. Either way, I lost, so it's good!
I need to get off my butt and get some pictures. I got my hair cut on Friday and it is SHORT! It was down to almost my waist and now I've got maybe three inches on the top. They were a little surprised when they asked what I wanted and I said, "I want it GONE!" lol! I just woke up so it's currently standing straight up and out. Not a very good look, but it feels so good not to have a huge pile of hair twisted into a clip on the back of my head. I definitely helps with the heat!
I have absolutely NO idea how I did it, but I managed to lose 6.8 pounds this week. I haven't even been eating particularly healthy, just not eating much I guess. I did notice yesterday that my ankles looked like normal ankles, so I'm guessing that most of last week was water weight and it finally decided to come off.
I was most certain that I would see a gain this week, so the extra 1.4 pounds when I glanced at the scale was no surprise. It kind of sounds like some lame excuse, but I'm dead serious when I say that it looks like I've got baby elephants instead of ankles. NO, not their ankles, THE WHOLE BABY ELEPHANT!! Cankles, tankles, whatever you've heard them called...that's what I have right now. I'm retaining THAT much water! Yuck!
I'm not really upset about the gain. I know it'll come off. I have days where all I want to do is stop thinking about weight loss and just BE. You know? But today is a fresh day and I'm feeling a little more optimistic. Most of it's thanks to you wonderful women. I wouldn't even be contemplating trying to stay focused if it weren't for you all. So, big thanks guys ((((hugs))))
I've been avoiding the computer and the scale all weekend because I've been eating poorly. Well, that and we've been busy. Saturday was Paul's birthday (it was very nice!) and yesterday we had a barbeque with his parents. I made an absolutely beautiful pineapple upside down cake Saturday morning since it's Paul's favorite. Luckily, we sent half home with his parents!
Anyway, I wasn't expecting to see a loss at all, and was bracing myself for a gain. I was kinda blown away when I saw that I've lost 3.8 pounds! Yippee! The only thing I can figure is that I ran my butt off most of the weekend and that counteracted all the bad crap I ate. I'm not complaining!
The weeks should start getting more regular and "normal" now. There are no serious holidays coming up for awhile, and Paul won't be taking any more vacation days for now. I'm hoping that'll help me stay honest during the weekends, at least more than I have been. I was happy to see a loss this week, but I doubt it's going to happen every weekend where I eat like that.
Hope everyone else saw a loss this week!
Hey ladies! Sorry I haven't been around to update, but I've been spending a lot of time with my husband - and trying to stay cool! The temps have risen so much in the past few days that it's crazy. It's only going to be 97° today and I was actually happy to hear that! Luckily, tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be a lot cooler and we have a good chance of rain...I'm crossing my fingers!
So, as for weight...I gained 2.6 pounds this week. I haven't been following a schedule, exercising or eating well so I expected it. I'll get back on track soon though.
Off to visit everyone now...hope y'all had better results than me!
