The Road So Far...

A pleasant surprise. I felt a little off this week. A little discouraged. Little defeated. Little down. I really didn't expect a loss at all. I counted calories. I did my walking. I drank my water. But for some reason, I felt like it wasn't going to work. I'm happy to see I was wrong.

I guess my fiance gets to say, "I told you so". He's been incredibly encouraging. Every time I needed to lament about my perceived lack of progress, he was right there telling me I was doing the best I could. He reassured me. He calls me beautiful and says he loves me every chance he gets. I can't express how thankful I am to be blessed with this man's love. It's what keeps me disciplined on days when motivation wanes. I tend to doubt myself. I'll beat myself up over the slightest slip. But my fiance won't let me. He sees in me, something I can't always see. And when I don't, he's there to remind me. I was almost positive the scale wouldn't show a loss. I even worried it would show a gain. He was certain I was worried over nothing. Convinced I'd done what I was supposed to do. So, since the weigh in shows a loss, I'll let him have this "I told you so." He's more than earned it!

All my goals were met this week!

Coming up, we have Valentine's day. Big plans! We have some projects to work on. And lots of family fun to be had.

Until next time, sending you positive thoughts and good juju. ❤

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...
