Ascendency

Boston was fantastic, but I regret to say that it was hard to resist the great food. I won't get into the mouth watery details, but I'm going to try to make it up for the weekend this week by adding more exercise to the plan.

I definitely won't weight myself until Saturday because I'm scared to see any gains! But hopefully itll be a neutral or negative weigh in come Saturday!
 
I figure I give an update since I'm bored and sick.

I'm feeling good. A very weird incident happened to me on Monday. While playing tennis, I felt so sluggish for the 1st 10-15 minutes of casual hitting. I could barely walk. I asked my friend to take a 10 minute break, he did. After the break, I had a tremendous amount of energy. It was the weirdest thing. My hands were jittery and legs were wobbly, since I took that break, I was re-energized.

Needless to say, on Tuesday and the most part of today I'm pretty sore.
 
awwwh. i'm sick too. :(
it sucks. I hope you get well soon!!
and good luck with your exams!! p'-'q
study study study!
oh and drink LOTS of water and OJ!!! it'll keep you from being dehydrated and the OJ for the vitamin C. or better yet... eat some oranges. :)
 
Thanks :eek: ,

I think I should drink a lot of OJ to try to get rid of whatever is ailing me. It seems to be going away though, I hope it goes away completely after this weekend.

Anyway, on to business...

May 6th, weekly Saturday weigh-in...the verdict?


316 pounds! This number really shocked me. Why? Because I drank soooooooooo much water yesterday it's not even funny. Even right before I went to bed while watching the Mets game, I drank a 32 oz cup of ice cold water. Throughout the night, I went to the bathroom 3 times and I still lost that much, come weigh-in.

Needless to say, I'm pretty happy. I feel better, more energetic and my clothes feel very loose. I am also happy to report that with another 2 pound loss, I will equal my weight from 3 years ago, which I failed due to no self control....but this diet, there is no turning back.

I got the power of this forum behind me. :D

edit: it seems that I have recovered from my trip to Boston, too! Thank goodness I did stay away from unhealthy/fatty foods and really only ate the good stuff.
 
I agree

Seriously, this forum is a godsend! My eating plan didn't go entirely the way I wanted it to this week, but it went a hell of a lot better than if I didn't have this forum to report back to. You sound like you're doing fantastic, keep it up!
 
Figure i'd make a post about what has happened during the week.

I'm following my plan and never have any urge to cheat or have temptations. Whats cool is, ever since i started the diet, my appetite has been sorta supressed. Yesterday I had a semi-big lunch and after finishing the plate, I felt a bit uncomfertable. I felt really stuffed, when usually before the diet, I could eat two plate servings full. This is a great sign I think, so after the diet, I can easily control what I consume and just walk away when i get the full feeling.

I got my fingers crossed for Saturday morning! If I lose 2 pounds, it'll be the lowest I've weighed in for nearly 3-4 years.
 
*crosses fingers for Kinyo too.... and legs too*

I hope you lose the 2 pounds! I know exactly how you feel. Right now I am 279. This is the LOWEST I've been since 3 years! It's very exciting isn't it?
 
Definitely very exciting. It feels like I have accomplished something I couldn't for 3 years lol.

But you know, even if I dont get the 2 pounds come tomorrow, I still have time to lose those 2 pounds later. I don't want to put pressure on myself now, or it'll set me up for disappointment. I'm only saying this because I've snuck weighed myself the past few days and the fluxuation is crazy...only time will tell if I make it tomorrow...:)
 
Weekly weight in..I didn't get it :(. It was a 1 pound gain, so I'm at 317. I'm not too worried about it as this whole week I was sick and felt like crap. Hopefully I can tackle the new week.
 
Late Saturday reply, but better late than never, right?

I didn't think I had a very good week at all. Since this is finals week, I didn't concentrate on what I ate but did have a conscious in the back of my mind to lay off the no-no foods.

And on goes to the verdit:

Before stepping onto the scale, I went to the bathroom to pee, and I'll tell ya, I forced every drop of pee I could...I was so nervous to see the number, and when I actually got on, I was so relieved to see 314. 314 is the same weight I had three years ago and then I never saw it again after that failed diet. Boy does it feel good to have a negative weigh-in after a terrible week where I was sick, and then finals week this week, and also the next. Hopefully I can reproduce next week as well!

Cheers, everyone ;)
 
You Can Do This Just Keep Focused On Your Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Weigh-in at this morning came out to be a 314 :(. No gain or loss, as this was my final finals week. Schools out til next fall. I sorta lost focused on my plan this week as it was pretty stressful with some classes.

Hopefully I'll make up for it with the coming weeks.
