The Road So Far...
  • From first blog:  16.6  lbs
  • From highest weight:  -26.2  lbs
Ok. So I lost the weight from last week. I don't want to count it as a victory until I see the scale next week. If I can keep it off and make a little more progress, I'll feel better about it. Gaining and losing the same 2 pounds is not the goal. 

Yesterday my daughter and I caught some kind of flu bug. Today is all about nursing it and rest. Hopefully it's just a 24 hour thing. I'm not surprised by it. We had a busy week. Thanksgiving projects for our little family. We went to see the new Frozen movie. In my opinion, it was better than the first! Disney really got into some deep feelings and teaching kids how to cope in an age appropriate way. I am impressed! I did everything I could this week to keep myself moving. It wasn't easy with our weather. It has been cold, windy, and raining. I love the smell of rain. The rainbows, obviously. I love bundling up with scarves and hoodies. Having a hot cup of tea by the window while the sky pours outside. My heart loves this weather. My body, not so much. I've noticed certain areas of my body that are more affected than others. My left arm, for example. The colder the weather, the less range of motion it seems to have. A certain spot under my right shoulder blade. It feels bruised and tense. Fibromyalgia. It's not fun. But, I'm pushing through. Thanks to my daughter and my fiance. She encourages me to do all that I can, and he pays attention to my limits so I don't push too hard. They truly are the best blessings. 

It's a new month, and we have a lot to look forward to! So, 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 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 2/19/20

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 g...
