Back up to 246

I have no words right now. I know I was sick but before that I was at 242. I got better, went camping and now I’m back to where I started.

I was in tears this morning when I got on the scale. I got off and got back on 3 times to make sure that was right. How is this POSSIBLE? I knew I’d gain some weight back after being sick. I know I didn’t go to the gym while I was sick but I did hike and run around at the campsite.

This weekend was pretty healthy actually as i ate mostly Vegetarian/Vegan foods while camping. When I did eat at a restaurant on the road it was grilled chicken fajita or something and I didn’t even use all of the sour cream etc.

I don’t want to give up but this is more discouragement than I have ever felt. I feel like I totally did everything for nothing. I don’t normally get this emotional over a gain. I get a bit ticked, then I get over it and move on. This one though, no this is serious.

So I’m hitting the gym tomorrow. I can use the bike even though I have an effed up ankle. I think the eliptical will be put to use as well since I won’t put too much strain on the ankle. I fell right before leaving for camping and twisted my ankle pretty good. Doesn’t hurt much anymore but is still swollen.

I can’t think of a question for the day. I’m off to do homework and make some jewelry.

Well I am back up to 245 and for the life of me I cannot figure out why!

I stayed within my calories except Saturday and last tuesday. I worked out 3 days last week burning over 200 calories. I ate fruits and veggies instead of processed foods for the most part. I was GOOD!

I measured myself and no inches have been lost either. I want to blame it on my TOM but i know that’s not the case. I know that I shouldn’t have THAT much water weight a day and a half after it goes away.  The only thing I can figure is Saturday night REALLY effed up my whole week.

I’ve been super discouraged since weighing myself today. I feel like everything I am going through is for nothing. This is exactly the point I always get to in my weight loss where I say ëff this it’s not working.” I need to get past it. I need to keep going but it’s so hard when results just aren’t happening.

The problem is I know that I shouldn’t let the number on the scale tell me weather I should keep going. I know that just because I am not seeing results that doesn’t mean I’m not healthier. But when you weigh yourself and see a gain, then measure yourself and see you’ve not lost anything that way either, what are you supposed to do?

I’m sure many of you have gone through this and I’m wondering how you deal? Comment and let me know!

I’ll be back tomorrow with a better and much more uplifting (or at least less whiny) post.

Watch the vlog for the excitement that is weighing in and haircuts!

Stay tuned to the blog this week for my updates on my situps/squats/pushups and a great resource for those who are doing the C25k program! Yes, this does mean I am starting it

As promised here is the weigh day vlog that was supposed to appear yesterday. I updated it because i wanted to add some things. Check me out yo, no makeup!

Well today was my first weigh day. i have good news!
I am down a pound!!! my goal is 1 1/2 pounds a week but I did go a little over budget on the calories after being sick! no excuses this week! I’m not sick and have no reason not to work out.
i did go over budget again today. it’s hard when eating situations are out of my control. I was out with my parents and had chinese food. I didn’t have time to plan what would be a healthy option. I ended up just having small portions of each thing. This is a goal I am going to have to work on.
i have a vlog I’ll be posting tomorrow. the internet here is down and I’m writing this from my iPhone.
I’ll be posting my daily reports tomorrow as well. As always, any advice is always appreciated.
