Over 200 New Year New Me Part 17

Woo hoo! Today at my BL weigh in, I lost 4.5 lbs! That brings me to 8.4 lbs total by their scale. That felt good after 2 weeks of small gains there (0.8 and 0.2).

heather and littlespy, I'm with you on the ice cream, maybe even worse. I was so addicted that I have not been able to have any since I started dieting. If there were a tub in the house I don't expect I would be able to control myself, not yet anyway.

I used to get through 2-3 Ben and Jerrys pints a week !!!
I'm so disgusted with myself looking back.

So I'm trying something new and daring for the next few days......I'm cutting out ALL sweets, refined sugars.
I have been giving myself chocolate every day since I started dieting because I knew I could not quit cold turkey but I'm feeling ready to try for a few days to go without. No promises to myself that I won't go back but I'm going to try and see what happens.
I'm eating my veggies and cutting the chocolate.

For the next 3 days I set my goals at 1100 calories, 30% carbs, 40% protein, 30% fat. I'll be eating all my exercise cals.
Does anybody else use those percentages??????

I'm a little bit ticked off, but its my fault so I cant be too mad. Scale is still holding steady at 205lbs even though I drowned myself in water yesterday, it didnt budge one bit. I know I ate tonz of calories but not enough to constitute a 4lbs gain...yes I am well aware that it is water but it still makes me mad that it hasnt gone down even a tiny bit. Usually it takes 2 days for my body to let go after a metabolism shock so if by tomorrow morning it still says 205 I am entering panic mode! :explode:

Today is weigh in day at the gym BL - I am not even going...I know it will make me feel discouraged so I am going to avoid it like the plague and hope that I can drop under 200 by next week's final weigh in!!!:embarassed:

Meook- I eat weight watcher and skinny cow ice cream. I dont do it too often but I MUST have ice cream here and there. They are under 200 cals and delicious! I love the weight watcher cookie dough sundae and the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches...yum! Good luck cutting out sweets! Sorry to temp you :laugh:

Miranda- YAY FOR YOUR BIG LOSS ON YOUR BL COMPETITION! SEND SOME OF THAT LOSS MY WAY!

Jess- so happy you are home and safe!:flowerforyou:

Oh my goodness gracious it is soooo good to be home! I weighed myself this morning and only have a 3 pound gain! I'm dang proud of myself! I know that's probably all sodium because everything I ate was pretty sensible (till yesterday) just high in sodium. That's hard to control when your eating out. I plan to drown myself in water today. Not bad after sitting on my butt in a car for 2 days if you ask me! Thank you all again for the thoughts and prayers. We were freaking out on the way home.

Miranda-Congrats on the loss! Sounds like your muscles were just retaining water!

LittleSpy-I saw your pics from the zoo. Wow girl, you look amazing! You are such an inspiration. Once you put your mind to something you do it. I feel ya on being unmotivated.I have a huge sack of laundry to do and I just don't feel like doing it!

Meokk-I'm not sure what my percentages are but I know they are very close to those if not exactly.

I realized something. I am a changed woman. I couldn't wait to get home and get back to normal. I missed working out. I missed my good healthy home cooked meals. I love my family but dang, they know how to cook bad for you food! So glad to be home. Now, laundry awaits! Be back later to stalk!

Jess - SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU MADE IT BACK OK!!! I live in a tornado area (not like Oklahoma or Kansas but we do get quite a few) and I think of myself as being pretty nonchalant about them - but I was very worried about you last night.:frown:

LilDebbie - you'll find a good way to fit in the gym time! :drinker:

LittleSpy- Our gym is closed for intersession (between end of semester and summer classes) so I need to be getting up just as early and getting in my cardio on my elliptical. Have I? NO. I have to stop this lazy streak!

Ken's spending all day every day watching his dad - so our whole schedule is tossed out the window right now! George is not interested in doing ANYTHING. He wants to be left alone to watch TV, and he's losing his ability to walk. My brother in law wants to put him in a home, and Ken keeps talking about getting him a wheel chair. I know that might be needed but I also know we need to keep him up and moving until he gets through the first stage of grief because he could perk back up a bit after the shock wears off.

Stalk ya later!:glasses:
