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's what keeps me going through discouraging moments. It helps me assess the week. What could I have done differently? Is there an underlying issue I need to address with the doctor? Where can I improve until I get an appointment. 

For this coming up week, I am going to set an exercise goal. I think it will help me with the medical concern that has me worried. How my body handles the exertion will definitely help give the doctor more information. And it will help me to burn extra calories in the meantime. I also want to switch up my meal schedule. I've done intermittent fasting before, and it helped to get me out of a plateau. So, I think I'll try working on that and see how it goes. I will not let this gain affect me negatively. Instead, I'm going to make something positive come from it.  And I will not let it stop me from enjoying the week with my family. We have some fun things planned!

So, until next week! For those of you who celebrate,  I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

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
