Progress Report
So here I am about 2 weeks into my plan of finishing up 52lbs in 52 weeks. After I wrote that post I promptly went to McDonalds and ate a Big Mac. No, I'm serious. By the end of the weekend, I was at 38lbs down and so mad at myself. I felt terrible, depressed, sick...and I refocused for three days before Thanksgiving. I was back to 41lbs down...But it didn't feel right...it didn't feel like the 41lbs I remembered...it felt more bloated and gross.
And then we traveled to Maryland for the holiday...and when we got back I weighed myself to assess the damage. I had done OK...not great. I did have pie. And I ate Indian food and tried to limit the rice and I didn't have naan...but I did have a few gluten free beers over the weekend so...I was up 2.8lbs...And on December 1, 2013 I decided that I wasn't doing something right...I was bouncing those 2lbs and never making it below 41lbs down...and something clicked. It was almost as if I was able to find my focus and determination. It was like I had finally kicked the monster that had woken up inside me when I started taking the supplements from the nutritionist.
And on Monday 2 of the 2.8lbs were gone.
And I went to the nutritionist and we decided that I needed to focus more on my diet than on my supplements from her. I have a very strong reaction to sugar and the foods she was recommending that I try were not helping me. They were, in fact, making things worse.
With the monster quieted, I was able to focus again. It was as if a veil had been lifted. My body also felt better...and it wasn't as if I was doing anything different than I had been for the last 3 months, it was that this time it was sticking.
By Tuesday, I hit 42lbs down and by this morning I hit 43lbs down...and I went to the doctor tonight to discuss and issue I had after running a few weeks ago (she told me to stop exercising/heavy lifting/limit my activity until she saw me. She gave me an all clear...and when I weighed in on her scale, fully dressed and at the end of my da, I weighed less than I did on Monday morning.
So here I sit...9lbs and 5 weeks to goal...with a big fat holiday right in the middle of it. It's only one day and I have control of what I eat. Ok, it's actually 2 days since we have celebrations on Christmas Eve too...
YAY for progress!!
