Thanks, guys! :)


Calories yesterday- 1350
Calories today- 1600

I ate a little more today. Not too bad though. I'm not worried about it. Took pictures this morning. I can definitely see a difference in my face. I can see maybe a little bit of difference in my stomach and hips, but not much. I wasn't really expecting any spectacular results with only losing 15 lbs. I have a lot more to lose than that, so 15 lbs isn't a whole lot. I am pleased with them though. :)

It kind of irritates me that I'm losing weight I've already lost before. Ok... "kind of irritates" doesn't really express my true feelings. My true feelings on this would involve a LOT of curse words. I have a 'weight loss' album on my phone and some of the pictures are from a few years ago, when I was much smaller than I am now. I'm using them as motivation, but oh my gosh do I want to slap myself silly for having to lose a big chunk of this weight again. What were you thinking, Jen?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! :banghead:

*sigh*

I know I can do it. Obviously, I've done it before. It's just annoying and I feel like whining about it. :p

I'm off to bed. I haven't been sleeping well at all. I finally took some stuff to knock me out last night, and will probably do the same tonight. :sleeping:

Tell me about it. I've had two spans of significant weight loss in my life. First time was 330 to 260, and it worked its way back up when I stopped behaving (kept justifying another break day, until every day was a break day, then it was just "aw, fuggit, I know how to lose weight"). Second time was my first diary here when I went from 348 to 299, then Xmas came, and life did what it does.
 
I know how you feel Jen. I did exactly the same thing. Losing the same weight over and over- drove me nuts. I finally made the decision to stop stuffing my face and get things under control. I had to change my attitude big time. Hopefully it will stay off this time-lol.
 
I have done it all my life really Jen. It's very hard to stay vigilant, but unfortunately, it's essential. You can do this hon & hopefully this will be the last time you regain xoxo
 
Thanks, guys. I'm not happy you guys are going through the same thing, but it's nice to not be alone at least.


Calories today: 2300

I had a very bad day. I'm not going to go into it, but I found out some pretty devastating news about one of my very good friends this morning. It's been an emotional day, so the diet went out the window. It also happened to be the day my son started selling chocolate bars for a school fundraiser. So yeah... Horrible news + a box of 60 chocolate bars coming home from school = Nothing good :(

Back on track tomorrow.
 
Thanks, guys. :grouphug: It never feels good hearing bad news... In this case, that one of my dear friends has cancer. :cry: I went to visit her on Friday and that got my weekend off to a rocky start. Very emotional. I wanted to eat everything. EVERYTHING. I still kept track of my calories though, and I managed to stay at(or just above) maintenance. So, considering the circumstances, I'm ok with it.


Yesterday I kept myself pretty busy. Chef and I cleaned the apartment(mostly Chef..haha) and I cleaned up my art area. I have a project I'm going to be starting soon for Chef's mom. It will be a Christmas gift that she's going to be giving to someone. I'm a bit nervous to start it, because the reference photo is not the best at all, but I'll do what I can. I also spent a good bit of time yesterday making myself a schedule and a to-do list.

This morning I did an upper body workout. I'm going to try to do the treadmill today too if I can fit it in. That's what I was planning to do this morning, but it's in our bedroom and Chef is sleeping. I forgot he had the day off from work, and I'm pretty sure he would not have appreciated that. lol!

....and now I have to start working. Also I just noticed that my sweater is on inside out. Hopefully that's not a sign of how my day is going to go. Luckily, I did not get out of the car when I left the house this morning. haha!

Oh, I totally wouldn't have minded if she joined me for some "exercise."
 
Sorry to hear about your friend, Jen. Sounds to me that maybe you might owe Chef some exercise if he did all he said he did-lol.
 
Jen- every wife has the right to use the word "we" :) You did a great job! What a team :D I'm glad you & chef found one another xoxo

Aww.. thanks! Me too! He cooks, he cleans, he makes me laugh every single day, .... and he puts up with ME. haha! :p


----------------

My calories right now are around 1350, but I plan on having a little snack later, so they'll probably be around 1450 or 1500 by the end of the night. I did not get around to getting on the treadmill, so I'm going to try to get that done tomorrow. :)
