Weekly Weigh In 11/17/19 and Oops!

Weigh in:  266.8 lbs

  • This week:  -2.0  lbs

The Road So Far...
  • From first blog:  -16.6  lbs
  • From highest weight:  -26.2  lbs

I am feeling much better this week. Finally over the cold or flu or whatever that was. And the scale seems to be moving back in the right direction. 

We haven't tried any new recipes in the last few weeks. I've been revamping old recipes. Improving them.

**The Next Morning**

Oh geez. It is currently 6:20 a.m. and as I was getting up to make breakfast for my family, I realized I never finished this yesterday! I was writing around lunch time, not very smart to begin with, and I decided to pause while my family ate lunch together. We had so much fun, I forgot to pick it back up. What can I say, except, Oops!

Now, I'm off to start the day. My favorite part of the school week, is making my daughter a hot breakfast. I'm NOT a morning person. Not even a little bit. I've always been a night owl. My daughter changed that. She tells me that my scrambled eggs are the best. I thought she was just buttering me up, until one day we took her to a restaurant for breakfast. She took one bite of the eggs, looked at me, and said mine are better. Sweetest girl in the world, I tell you. So, every morning, I can't wait to make her favorite eggs. Just to see the smile on her face. We sit down at the breakfast table, and she tells me about how she slept. Any dreams she had. We talk about the plans for the day. Daddy sits with us and drinks his coffee (and on days like today, I'm making bacon too, so he'll have a whole plate full). It's the best way to start the day.

Until next week!

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 blog, embarrassing as it might be, and tell the honest truth. It&

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 anywhere.  Or be around anyone other than my loved ones.

Weigh In Wednesday 2/19/20

Weigh in:    256.4   lbs       This week:    +/- 0   lbs Weekly Calorie Limit: 12,460       Calories consumed: 10,822 Exercise goal: Walk 3 times for 20 minute minimum ✔ Health goal: Drink 2 bottles of water daily ✖ The Road So Far... I confess I did not pay enough attention this week. With Valentine's Day, a flu bug, school projects and more keeping me busy, I didn't pay enough attention. I'm happy I didn't gain from last week. But I'm disappointed there was no loss. Maintaining isn't enough for me. I did stay under my calories. So, I'm a little confused about how there was zero loss. I guess it proves weight loss isn't all about calories in versus calories out. My metabolism is greatly affected by the Hashimoto's. So despite meeting my exercise goal, and coming in under my calorie goal, I didn't do enough to get my metabolism to burn the calories needed to see a loss. I also didn't drink the water goal this week. I was crav
