Back on the Wagon 2 days ago

Ok, so maybe I didn’t fall off the wagon so much as jump off. Maybe even swan dive… But I’m back, baby! Back at my starting weight, that is.

So here goes –
Re-Starting Weight (as of yesterday): 180.4
Current Weight (as of this morning): 179.0 (probably a fluke, but I’ll take it)
Ideal Goal Weight: 145
Realistic Goal Weight: 155

SparkPeople Program: Weeks 14 & 15 (November 1st - 14th) 4 days ago

Starting Weight: 155
Last Week’s Weight: 143.5
This Week’s Weight: 142
Calorie Consumption Goal: 8,200 – 10,150
Calories Consumed: –
Calories Burned Goal: 600
Calories Burned: 608

Well I’ve obviously been slacking on my SparkPeople program. The week before last was really bad – I only managed to work out twice that whole week. This past week was better though I’m still not getting 5 days of exercise in. I’d really love to work up to that this month. Barring a miracle I wont be meeting my goal of loosing 30 pounds by the end of the year. But I could get close. According to today’s weigh in I’ve lost 12 pounds, which isn’t even halfway there. But it’s huge compared to all the other times I’ve tried losing weight. So I’m just going to keep moving and hope I hit a stride eventually.

I decided last week that I’m not going to use the Nutrition Tracker for the time being. I’ve been using it since I started and it seems my caloric intake is pretty steady. And since my diets not going to change any time soon, I just don’t see the point. I know my diet isn’t healthy nutrition wise – not enough fruits and vegetables by half. But I can’t purchase my own groceries right now so I just have to eat what’s available to me. When I can start buying my own food again, I’ll probably start tracking again so I can determine whether I’m meeting my nutrition goals. Until then I’m going to skip this time consuming step.

Untitled 2 weeks ago

For the last 3-4 years I have wanted to lose weight that I have slowly put on in my 40s. I have tried several strategies and most recently had good success with Medi-Weight (appetite suppresant, very low calorie, vitamin supplement injections). I lost 16 pounds over about 5 weeks but felt such complete deprivation that when I fell off the wagon I couldn’t get back on. I haven’t quite gained it all back but I am discouraged.

SparkPeople Program: Week 13 (October 25th - 31st) 2 weeks ago

Starting Weight: 155
Last Week’s Weight: 143.5
This Week’s Weight: 147
Calorie Consumption Goal: 8,200 – 10,150
Calories Consumed: 10,332
Calories Burned Goal: 600
Calories Burned: 551

According to my numbers, last week was definitely not a good one. I didn’t really think it was that bad until I ran the numbers. Way too many calories & not enough exercise. And I weighed 147 this morning but I’m not too worried about that. I always weigh a lot the day after I eat a bunch of crap, like on Halloween. Plus I started my cycle this morning so I’m terribly bloated. I expect my weight will seem higher this week. Now if I weigh next week and it’s still 147, I’m going to be terribly disappointed. But I’ll worry about that then. I feel like I can get back on track this week pretty easily. The only concern I have is that I don’t usually feel well during my cycle and I’m afraid I wont feel like exercising. I going to follow the “something is better than nothing” mantra and just work out as much as I can tolerate. If I get started, I usually end up working out for longer than I intended anyway. Hopefully I can make that work for me this week. I don’t want to use one bad week as an excuse to give up.
