Butterfly’s Journey to Health

Today has been a very stressful day so far and I turned to food to cope. I'm going to try to force myself to lift weights. I signed up for a yoga class on Thursday. If it goes well I'll hopefully go every Thursday.
 
Sending you one very big hug honey. Don't be too hard on yourself. No-one is perfect. Tomorrow is another day & you must be kind to yourself. That sounded bossy, but I didn't mean it that way. Take care of yourself, xoxo
 
Thank you Cate!

Great accomplish yesterday, I only had one snack all day, I usually have multiple. Yoga is tonight, looking forward to it.
 
I ate less snacks than I usually do once again. Yoga was cancelled, hopefully I can go next week. Tomorrow I'm going to a hula hoop dancing class, weather permitting (since it's outside). But it is supposed to rain, here's hoping it doesn't.
 
Thank you!

Well, I was doing well, some days anyway. But it's been a little over a week since my last weigh-in and I've gained 2.6 lbs. Yikes! I think I need to take a step back and figure out what happened. I honestly didn't expect to lose weight but I didn't expect to gain it either, I figured it'd be a wash this week. But no. I'll try logging my food again. I have been stressed, maybe I'm eating more than I realize. The journey continues...sigh.
 
It has a battery power bar, and all the bars are there, so it should be working well. However, I decided to put my scale to the test this morning and determined I need a new one. According to it I gained 1.1 lbs since yesterday when I got weighed earlier in the day today, I weigh slightly less with my shoes on than my shoes off, my dog who has been consistently 10.5 lbs has lost 0.9 lbs, even though her hair is especially long, and my mother who looks great and has been dieting has gained 5 lbs in a short amount of time. The shoes on weighing less is especially odd. I'll get a new scale and keep you all posted.
 
Scales are weird things. Really we all need three, as with atomic clocks, to not only decide whether or not one is off but also which one.
 
Yeah, they are weird.

I need to be like this mouse, skip the cheese and exercise.

Hula hoop dancing got canceled :(

New scale can't make up it's mind how much I weigh, it keeps fluctuating and doesn't stop at one number. Maybe I fidget too much getting weighed? I don't know.

I always say I don't have time to exercise but I'll be done with college soon for the semester and next semester I am only going part time. So no more excuses, let's do this!

I creep up on my scales! I first have to put my foot on for them to register & then I get on very slowly & carefully & just about hold my breath :D Boo to hula dancing being cancelled. Hopefully something else will come up!
 
:D I can just see Cate (in her nightie, to keep it pg) stalking the scales in the morning! I recommend bashing them over the display with a hairbrush until they surrender and show us a healthy weight. Can you tell I´m sort of sick of scales?
 
Type the medication name in to google and see if anyone else is having weight issues since they started taking it. I was prescribed pregabalin to combat back pain and nerve pain, apart from being highly addictive, they also help you to gain weight!! Im currently coming of these meds as im very addicted to them, its just awful! I put on 3 stone in 1 year! I cant say its all down to the meds, I also suffer from bouts of depression which render me incapable of doing anything. I refuse to take anti depressants, I hate the way they make me feel so detached from reality. I've reduced my meds, with a plan to get off them altogether. I'm eating a low carb diet, as I think the sugar was playing havoc with my sleeping patterns and i'm starting to move more. I lost 3lb this week! :) Tiny little baby steps in the right direction will keep you on track, good luck xx
