re: Weight loss journey

I've seriously fallen off the wagon and can't get back on. It's extremely infuriating.  


My energy just isn't here to workout and if I don't workout, I'm not encouraged to eat better.. so it's a double.

I'm GOING to get back on tomorrow, I hope.

I feel ya! The thing that has helped me in the past is to make myself exercise for 5 minutes and if I still dont want to, then Ill stop, but usually by then Ill just keep going. 5 mins might not sound like much but I can usually get in several sets of weight lifting in that time

SO got a job!! He starts once he graduates college in May! I am so relieved   Its enough money that I can cut back to a parttime job. I am looking for one now and I am so excited!

I have gained like 8lbs in the last week. Son of a bitch, haha. How is that even possible!?!

I'm guessing it's a mix of maybe the meds I'm on, the tooth infection I have, my stress/anxiety, and now my period.

I do not like it though.

Hey ladies   So Alyssa you were right, AF is pretty much gone as of today and this AM I'm down to 168.7! Yay  

Love that's great news congrats!

For those struggling just get back on, was past is past just keep trucking and you'll lose it all again and then some!

And yeah it sucks to wait in one regard but then again it'll make Sophie older and therefore easier to be away from her.

My problem is if I don't work out first thing in the morning, it's hard to talk myself into it later, at night. And if I eat something that's not good, then all hell breaks loose and I say, "tomorrow."   Like this morning, because my energy is completely gone.. I got a double shot breve, the calories, omg. So, I'm probably going to get take out for dinner since I work a 10 hour shift and tomorrow.. I will re-commit. Or all of you can kick my butt.

Hopefully take the stress off of your job now too while you're looking for another one.

I saw your post about the liquid diet, I wouldn't be surprised if the meds he has you on help you gain weight to get you ready for this liquid diet.

I'm sure it'll be off soon!!

YAY!  

And exactly! It'll all work out the way it's supposed to.

Just remember it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound, so even if you slip up on one thing it's better to stop there than add to the calorie count that day because it doesn't only matter what we have in a day but what we have all week added together..... Not a total butt kick but maybe it makes you feel guilty enough. Lmao

I hope so! I'm thinking the infection is messing with me. It's horrid, I can't take anything for pain during the day right now because I'm not allowed Ibuprofen and I can't take my Vicodin while I'm home alone with the kids. Just tomorrow, then Friday morning I am getting it all done. Then yay for liquid diet! haha

I'm trying to be positive, but it's not working, haha

I bet you'll lose on your liquid diet. Idk if you saw my response but I didn't add that I lost a few pounds that week lol.

Alright, confession time.

My baby fever is bad, like I can't even try to go into detail of how bad it is. Seth's ready for a baby now. I'M ready for a baby now.

But gosh darn it, we decided it'd be best to wait until July to try like way before he deployed and in all honesty, I know it'll be best to wait until then for purposes like 1) we'll know by then if he's getting his promotion or not 2) I'll be able to get a job with the school district next fall without feeling like I need to hide a pregnancy 3) it gives me time to lose more weight (I said I didn't want to try until I'm under 150, preferably under 140). and so on.

But dammit. I want a baby NOW.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry you're dealing with all of that. I wouldn't be able to stay positive either.    

I hoping the rest of this week and next go by fast so then you can go back normal!
