50 Pounds to Subaru Journal

GAH! 182.8 again! 5 days in a row! I know I'm supposed to be starting TOM soon but when is it coming? When will this curse leave me?!?! I've been working so hard!
 
It'll come and the weight will go down! Don't stress! I keep having like week long if not longer stalls where my weight floats around the same few numbers then I will lose a few then it will float around again. It is very frusturating but keep your head up and keep working and it will pay off. Just counting the days. stupid TOM- sucks the fun out of all kinds of things!;)
Just wanted to say hi!! Hope your doing well!
 
maybe look at diet and exercise and see where you can make a change and see if that does anything?? Has TOM paid a visit yet? Are you gaining muscle with your workouts? No matter what the scale says how do you feel? There has to be a reason for this!! I agree with Pequin: hang in there! I am sure it will drop!
 
TOM never actually arrived, i just had double PMS. On Friday morning I weighed in at 184.8 and then Saturday I was back down to 182.8 without doing anything differently. I guess this month it a skip.

My friends are coming over soon to work out. I feel again like I have to start over. I hate starting over.

Saturday i made a pizza. It was delicious. I started out with two slices - perfectly in line with my caloric goals. Then I ate another one....then another. Two hours later I had eaten the whole thing. I was physically ill. That's the kind of thing I would do in my old life. Shame on me!

Today has been really good though. For the first time EVER I resisted doughnuts at church! yay!
 
oh god pizza is terrible!! So good and yet full of so many calories! I had some on Friday and it messed me up too. It is so hard to stick to one or two pieces!!! So glad for the 182! I hate being "stuck". I have been stuck for a week!! Good job on resisting doughnuts! Our work actually started serving bagels for us... mostly because the doughnut place went out of business! lol Hope you have a great Monday!
 
Must've been the weekend for pizza! I had it yesterday. No ill affects for though. But I had 4 good slices! Sometimes happens. Just move on!!:)
 
Well, this morning was 182.4. If I power down below 182.4 today it will be the lowest I've been this month! I feel like I've been stalled for 2 weeks but I haven't been doing anything differently. Oh well - time to keep moving!
 
Completely off topic: I run a little snack bar for the youth group of our church. We leave a little money up in the fridge if anybody wants something during the sunday service. However - we share our church building with another church as well - and while they are great customers of the snack bar (about 1/2 of our business) they also steal a large amount.

Their congregation is about 100 members and we had 30 sodas go missing in just this week. Granted - I'm sure we steal some too, but 30?! We don't even have 30 members!

I don't want to close the snack bar to them, but am planning to put up a snarky/witty sign to discourage soda theft. Any ideas? I'm going for direct - but not offensive.
 
I decided on a sign that just says 'Exodus 20:15" which when you look it up reads "Thou Shalt Not Steal" :) It may go over a few heads but I think it's cute enough.

WOOHOO, the scale is finally moving again! 180.8! It has been definitively proven, for me - doing an hour of moderate cardio is worth a lot more than a half hour of intense cardio. I feel about the same after but it finally budged the scale.

So - I'm going to go to the gym and wait for my friends to come there rather than wait in the apartment for them to come. This will give me a good head start on them, and may encourage me to stay longer overall than I even would have on my own.

170s here I come!!!!
 
The scale just keeps on a-going - 180.4. I can't wait to be in the 170s!

Today will be hard because it is my most sedentary day of all. We have DDR in the youth room - maybe I'll try to get on that for a while without the guys noticing :-X

I have given in to pressure and am trying to drink more water <sigh> I just dont like it. I'm not giving soda up - I don't have time for a caffine withdrawl right now - but a bottle of water a day wouldn't kill me.
 
It may kill you. No joke it is so cold here when I drink my water I think I might freeze to deAth!!:D water is good for you and I am glad you are starting to drink it. There are these packet of Crystal Lite that you can put in your water for flavor if that would help you. I don't think they have any cals but if they do it's just like 10 or less. that counts!!:)
 
I like the sign idea...I was going to suggest something like "thou shalt not steal" but, your all over that one. Yes, I know the shock is setting in, I have made a visit to your journal...one that is loooonnnng overdue. Sorry bout that. You are rocking this week, keep it up girl!
 
<guilty grumble> OK, so I haven't had any water yet today, but I'm going to go get some now! For real!

I have eaten a bit too much today - but it was that I was genuinely hungry so I ate a frozen dinner at 3. I'll probably eat again around 9. Should still end between my calorie goals.

I also have to put a fish down, so I'm going to take off and get some chemicals.
 
Oops - I glutted on Taco Bell tonight. I'ts 7:21 and I'm at 2045 calories.

I just have to remind myself that 2045 on my bad days now really isn't all that bad. It's reasonable. I can work off the extra tomorrow - nothing to panic over.
 
So - yesterday didn't end so well. But - going to do great today!

I was going to go DDR for a while at the office, but the TV was taken down and I'm too lazy to set it back up.

I need some calorie advice - I find that I hardly ever lose if I go over 1300 calories, but that seems really low. Am I supposed to be eating more?

That's how I am am. I don't gain if I go over but I certainly don't lose. But I was told my cals are screwed up, so I don't know. I am going to do one of those body cleansing things and see if it helps!:confused:
 
I can't believe how soon April 5 will be here. It's starting to scare me a little. It will be then - or a few weeks after - that I hit my goal weight. This is really happening. For reals.

After that I'm going to need to figure out something maintenance wise. I'd ideally like to be even under 160, but I will need to switch from a weight-loss mode to living every day life. I don't want to gain it back!

It will help that my best friends that are now starting their weight loss journeys have 9 months to a year left of work - so hopefully I can get my maintenance routine down while they are with me still.

It's also getting down to midriff bearing costume time. I'm kind of afraid - there is a bit of a younger crowd that tend to frequent anime conventions and I've heard stories of people being openly insulting. I wonder if I have enough self confidence to keep the self-consciousness at bay.

What was I thinking when I picked out this costume!?!?
 
You will do fine I am sure!!! You have done so well! And a maintinance phase is a good thing. I lost weight a few years ago and maintained for 3 years and now I am losing the rest. It worked really well and I was able to be ready for the next round knowing that I could maintain. Maybe you don't need that long of a break though:p I was lazy:eek:
