Weight Loss Week Eleven

Weigh in: 278.0
➡ -1.8

Thankfully, the medication dilemma was resolved! Even after only 5 days without it, my body is taking a while to readjust. My sleep schedule has been thrown completely out of whack. And the pain hasn't fully subsided. My taste buds are still wonky as well.

It's frustrating to feel so unlike myself. I don't typically have a big appetite, but these days it's practically non-existent. And the smallest influence can ruin whatever little appetite I get. The smell of certain foods is repulsive to a point I have to actually leave the room. And before anyone goes there, no, I'm not pregnant. It's one of the stranger side effects I've experienced. The good news is, I will see my doctor tomorrow!

Weekly Weigh In 11/24/19

Weigh in:   269.0   lbs This week:   +2.2   lbs The Road So Far... From first blog:   -14.4   lbs From highest weight:   -24   lbs I am honestly so confused. I tracked my calories. I went to bed earlier. I did my best this week. I do not understand the gain. Although, there is a medical issue that has me worried this week. The scale showing an inexplicable gain could be another symptom. Either way, I am going to be making a doctor's appointment a.s.a.p. to get it checked out. It could be as simple as adjusting my thyroid medication. It could also be any number of other more serious complications. I don't want to take a chance.  I was really hopeful last week that the scale would continue to show a loss each week. I would lying if I said this isn't a disappointment. It's discouraging, for sure. BUT, even when motivation wanes, it's important keep working. For me, I have to face this b...

It's only been 3 months??

It's been so long since I've written a blog, and SO MUCH has changed, my head is spinning! My last blog was March 11th.  So only 3 months ago, and yet I feel as though a whole year has gone by.  Forgive me if I'm a little lost for words.  I read over my last blog.  It was short.  A short update on my weight loss plateau and the little things going on in our life at that time.  Who could have known what was about to happen?  In the weeks following my last blog, the world changed.  And I don't just mean MY world.  THE WHOLE WORLD CHANGED! QUARANTINE!!! Suddenly, I wasn't focused on my weight loss.  My entire focus became keeping my family safe, and healthy.  Trying to make the best out of being cooped up in our home.  Part of me was relieved.  I struggle with anxiety and I have struggled with agoraphobia in the past.  This is something I have always wished I could do.  Stay home.  Not have to go...

Weigh In Wednesday 2/26/20

Weigh in:    256.4   lbs       This week:    +/- 0   lbs Weekly Calorie Limit: 12,460       Calories consumed: 9,429 Exercise goal: Walk 3 times a week for 20 minute minimum ✔ Health goal: Drink 2 bottles of water daily ✔ The Road So Far..... Hello plateau. Last week, I blamed myself. This week though, I did my best. I watched my calories carefully every day. I drank water all day, every day. I went on walks 4 days this week instead of 3, and all for much longer than the 20 minute minimum. Imagine my dismay when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw the same number as the last two weeks. Confused, I started to do what I do best in these moments. Rather than let the frustration take over, I started to research. I know about weight loss plateaus. I know they are to be expected. But, I have to admit I wasn't expecting it so soon. So, what happened? As I found out, for me it could be a number of dif...
