MrsKT's Weight Loss Journey
- Thread starter mrskt20
- Start date
Ok, yesterday afternoon was pretty bad. Didn't get to work out at all yesterday but I didn't really eat at all yesterday either. I went to eat with my husband. I ordered baked chicken and green beans. This was the greasiest baked chicken I had ever had. It made me so sick. I puked every where. Then my day just got worst from there. I just couldn't eat anything all day long. I tried to keep drinking water to keep from getting dehydrated. I feel much better today. We have our office Christmas party today and I'm hoping tonot over do it. I haven't ate anything today and I'm not hungry. I have looked at the menu and I plan to get a lot of veggies. I hope that works. Wish me luck!!!! I hope everyone has a great day.
I'mmmmm Baaaccckkkkk
Hi Dairy! I missed you so much. I knew i wouldn't get a chance to write during the break so I should have prepared for that. This dairy helps me in ways that I had no idea that it would.
Well just a quick update before I get into what went on during this two week break.
The first day of my weight loss journey (mental change) I weighed 201. When I decided to change my diet and my physical activity I weighed 197. I have currently loss about 9lbs and I plan to loss about 40 more. I am planning to loss this weight the right way! I plan to keep this weight off for the rest of my life. I loss about a pond and a half a week or you can say about 6 pounds a month. Ok, now that we got that out of the way. I am not perfect and I am at a stage in my life where weight loss is no longer easy but I am in this to win so I'm sticking it out.
I didn't weigh my self during the break. I didn't workout for 2 weeks. I did ok with food. I stayed with in my calorie range almost every day. My plan is to get back to the basics. Eat right and workout every day and weigh my self on Friday. I hope every one else did better then I did on there Christmas break. I'm just glad Im back.

haha, I think a LOT of us had so-so Christmas/new year breaks... I sorta pigged out on any chocolate that came with a 3 mile radius of my house, sooo yeahh.... Glad you're back too, have a great day tomorrow!
Hey Jess, Great to hear from you!!!!
I am focused ya'll (The lovely words of Jay Z) Got on the scale last night, which is crazy as hell, but the damn scale wouldn't stop calling my name. And I really felt ok after I got off of it. Well if you know me, you know I only weigh my self in the mornings, before I eat, with pretty much no clothes on. Well I got on the scale fully dressed with out shoes at 11pm after eating all day and it said I weighed 191. So in my mind I probably didn't gain any weight. I will know for sure when I do my regular weigh-in on Friday morning. I ate pretty good yesterday and I have did good so far today. I don't have to worry about over eating because I am way to broke for that. I will start back exerciseing tomorrow. My mother in law is keeping my kids at my house today so I didn't get to go home for lunch and exercise. I may work up enough will power to exercise this afternoon.

My eating went well yesterday. I only ate about 1200 calories which is pretty good because i didn't exercise. Well I do plan on exercising today. I am going to exercise during lunch. I told my friend that I would come see her during lunch and I will but I need to start back exercising because i'm scared if i don't today i wont for the rest of the week. I really miss exercising so I don't understand why it's so hard to start back when you have stop. My meal plan is the same as the day before but I did have a small cup of coffee today. I need to increase my water today also. I really would like to loss 2 lbs this week just in case I gained a lb during the holidays. I really need to try to get 30 min in everyday for the rest of this week including the weekend.
I am going to try to remember to post some pictures of my self when I get home tonight. Ok, I had a discussion with my husband last night. He is still tripping about me lossing weight. He loves my curves. I understand that! And I know I'm not that big but I just cant get him to understand how I feel. This is getting to be so frustrating. I just don't understand him. He use to love the way my body was! Why does he love this new body so much. I am trying to compromise but he thinks that anything under 170 will be too small. I guess I shouldn't worry about this now. Maybe I don't need to worry about this until I get under 170. But he knows I'm determined and he know I mean business. What if I told him I wanted him to gain 30 or 40lbs I wonder how he would feel. He has only gained like 15lb (Needed) since high school. And they say women are crazy
Well gotta get some work done. be back soon.

You are having trouble getting the exercising in and I'm having trouble getting my calories under control - too bad we couldn't swap!
Sorry to hear about your husband losing his job too - does it drive you crazy that he is home all day at home and you are at work. The mornings are the worst for me because I want him to get up just because I have to but he doesn't and then he is up later than me because he doesn't have to wake up early for anything so that is really driving me crazy. I try to give him a list of jobs he could be doing around the house but then when I get home and only some of them are done that drives me crazy too - it sucks. I'm trying to stay positive but I feel like he should be doing so much more and maybe I am being too hard on him.
That sucks about your husband not wanting you to lose weight - that must be really frustrating - my hunnie has made comments like "now you are going to run off on me" but he is really encouraging of the weight loss and just teasing. If only he could understand where you are coming from and how you feel and why you want it - maybe try to comment on the healthy aspects of losing weight more than getting slim and push that on him.
Keep it up and try your best to get some exercise in.

Happy New Year Mrskt20!
I'm glad to be reading your diary again. Congrats on your 9lbs lost! Thanks so wonderful, i'm so happy for you! I'm sorry your having a hard time with your husband, I think that he will love you and think that you are beautiful no matter what, and I think that you should keep going with your plan because it is your body and your health that you are doing it for. You will have so much for energy for him and your kids too. I think that your weight loss will really boost your confidence level and make you not only look sexier but feel sexier too, and I think once he sees that he will think that your new body and confidence will be too sexy to resist. I think that you are doing amazingly well, I don't know how you do it, a busy mom and wife and you still find the time to take care of your family and yourself and workout, I admire that a lot. Keep up the amazing work, your husband will come around don't worry.

Thanks Janvier! I think your right. I have a great husband and he will love me one way or the other. I am attaching a couple of recent pictures of myself. There's nothing to really compare anything to. I have loss 9 lbs but there's not much physical change.

Thanks Veronica! I am trying very hard and I hope my hard work is paying off.
Todays been ok. I wasn't able to work out during lunch because my stomach has been hurting so bad lately. I guess I need to make a Dr. appt. My meal plan and calorie counting went well over the weekend b/c I couldnt eat much of anything. I will see how things go tomorrow. If things don't get better I will go to the Dr. I have only had a couple of spoon fulls of chili today and water. I really wanted to push through the pain and work out today but I didnt eat breakfast so I will try again tomorrow. I hope everyone had a beter day then me.

Sorry to hear about your sore stomach - I can totally relate. Except mine is usually brought on by grease - you should look into it if it doesn't get better soon! I hate going to the Dr. so I understand you putting it off. I don't have a Dr. so if I want to see someone I have to sit and wait like 3 hours and they don't know anything about my history so they usually just tell me I will be fine.
Those photos are really gorgeous! To be honest I couldn't see much difference - I think you are beautiful in all of them. I could just tell you had more confidence in the red dress! Keep it up and get better soon.

Thanks Lisa, I feel a whole lot better today. I'm not sure why my stomach is giving me so many problems but it may have something to do with TOM since mine are so few and far between (I'm not complaining believe me).
There's not that big of a difference between the 170s to the 190s (visibly) with me but I am ready to get in the 150s so I can see some changes. The red dress was a size 10 so my confidence was pretty high at that dress fitting. I was in a wedding and I was the only bridesmaid that could get into a size lower then a 14 .I would love to be back there now! Thanks for the comments.
My day has gone well. I was only able to work out for 30 mins. (I had planned to work out for 45). Meal Plan for today:
B-Didn't eat anything :-(
L-Lean Cuisine
D-Baked Chicken, green beans, tossed salad, fat free dressing
My stomach feels better today but I am so bloated. I had to use oil to take my wedding ring off and my ring is usually to big. I'm not sure why I'm retaining fluids but I'm sure things will work themselves out. I would love to get a work out in this evening but I'm not sur if it's possible. i have so much to do at home it's crazy. I am ready to put more time into working out but I have to find the time!!

! Hope everything is going well, the retention went down, etc, and the workouts are still goin!Thanks for checking in on me Jess. Sorry, all 3 of my kids had stomach viruses and as soon as they got over it, I got it. It has been crazy
at my house. I am feeling a little better today but I'm still not really eating much in fear of having to run to the restroom. Last night was my 1st time eating in 2 days. I had crackers and chicken noodle soup. Today I've been sipping on some coffee and water. So there wont be any exercising for me today and probably not tomorrow but as soon as I can eat a whole meal I am jumping back on it. I just feel so drained. I am at work but I can barely sit up in my office chair.
I don't really have a meal plan for today. But I probably will try to eat some toast for lunch.
I weighed my self this morning just to see if my constant running to the bathroom had shifted my weight any and of course it did. I weighed in at 182.5 from my last weight of 188.2. I don't take this weight as a loss at all. It's just sick weight. As soon as I'm able to eat and drink again, it will come right back. I wish it would stay off but I have to be realistic. As soon as I'm well I'm gonna get back on track.

Hi Mrskt20,
It was good to hear from you and get some much needed support. I am sorry you haven't been well lately, first the stomach aches and now the stomach flu. Hopefully this is the end of it all and you start feeling better so that you can get back to your routine. Do you use a lot of salt? I do, and I know that is usually the reasoning behind my bloating when when I do get bloated, usually too much salt and not enough water. I know you already drink a lot of water, so maybe just try cutting back on salt or start paying attention to foods your eating that already contain salt, I started looking for products that say "reduced salt" since i already add it to everything. That is quite a drop in weight from being sick, it would be nice if it stays off, but it is probably just all fluids, make sure you stay really hydrated and take it easy when you start working out again. Any way, thanks again for your message, it lifted my spirits, and so far I have started my week out doing well, I just need to keep it up. I will keep you posted!
