Starting Weight: 221
Today's Weight: 216.8
Total Loss: 4.2 pounds
Day 10. Yep. I started today with a gain and back down to 4.2 pounds lost instead of the 10 I should be at for 30 pounds in 30 days. I also started today with another pattern that I've seen from doing this blog. I usually have one good day followed by one bad day. Its almost like there is something in my subconsious that wants to fail. Uh Oh I lost 2 pounds, I better eat cookies today. What is up with that?! And what do I do with all of these patterns once I identify them? That is probably a better question to be asking.
Following along with this pattern I did well today. I was super busy when I first got to work so didn't realize that I hadn't eaten anything until 1230 and then it was time for lunch :) I wasn't even really that hungry so I was able to make a good choice and went to Subway. Didn't get any chips or drink so my lunch was only 330 calories! I kept it going with eating right fajitas when I got home and was really going to be under my calorie count for the day but the candy and cookies I had on the counter helped me out. Don't feel as good physcially as I did two days ago but probably because I just stuffed my face with a sugar cookie.
I'm flying out to Chicago tomorrow and won't be back until Tuesday so I've been laundering and packing all night and did not work out. I'm optimistic about continuing to loose even when I'm there (no matter what Grandma's biscuits and gravy want to do to me) and really excited about the Gorilla challenge on Saturday. That will definately be some exercise. Oh yeah, and I may fit in a couple interviews too, haha.
My post tomorrow might have to wait a day since my flight gets in at midnight central time and I have over an hour drive then everyone in the house will be sleeping so I don't think I will be blogging to keep them up. I'm taking my scale with me so I will be able to post accurate weigh ins. Also, it was brought to my attention today that people have been posting comments?! The only comment that I have actually gotten was Shannon D. on my first entry. I was really starting to wonder if I was here all alone. If you posted a comment Thanks! and I'm not ignoring you. Hopefully the site can get this issue fixed soon. I'd love to get some feedback. Until then feel free to email me your comments at mellissa.reierson@gmail.com.
Thanks for reading,

You are like me with the nighttime munching. I don't know if it's boredom or if we are just tired and it's too much effort to be good or what. I know I have to figure out my deal because I won't even be hungry and I'll tell myself "you don't want that" but then I'll eat it anyway.
ReplyDeleteI have to question: is the bad day a self-fail thing, or is it more a case of "oh, I did well yesterday, I can cheat a bit today"?
I still think you are doing fantastic and you are going to have so much fun in Chicago! I can't wait to hear about the Gorilla Challenge!
I got a comment!! Woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteNow for my dignified response to said comment.
ReplyDeleteAhem, I agree in that I wasn't hungry either when I was eating my way through the night and I actually had a lot of crap to do being as it is 11pm and I'm not packed for tomorrow yet. I wonder if today's issue was about just avoidance of the the 10 mile long to do list that I have. When I eat I don't have to think about those things. Not that they go away because of it. I just then have to deal with less energy on top of it.
What can be done for it though?
