Weight Loss Week Ten

Weigh in : 279.8
➡ +1.6

I wish I could say I'm surprised.  I'm not.  This always happens.  I start to make progress and something unexpected takes it out of my control. This week there was a mix-up with my medication.  As in, I don't have it anymore.  I don't really want to get into the details right now.  My symptoms have come back with a vengeance.  So, short story?  My doctor's appointment isn't for another week, and no one can get in contact with him to refill the prescription.  So I'm trying to conserve as much energy as possible to deal with my thyroid condition going untreated for the time being.  Hopefully, I can get in touch with him before my appointment and get back on track.  But, so far, I've had NO luck.

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...
