I can think of two terrible things that can really mess up a dieter. Weather being the first, just when you find yourself getting into a groove and wanting to go out for walks, mother nature seems to turn on you and you get hit hard with rain or snow or extreme temperatures. We've had some rain here in AZ lately, but nothing to really interfere with my progress.
The second thing I can think of that can truly mess you up is the common cold or flu. I got hit fairly hard by this one recently. I started to feel run down and my sinuses were bothering me since last Thursday. Over the weekend what I thought was just an allergy flair up ended up being all out sick. 3/4 of a box of lotion tissues later I am finally starting to see an end is in site.
On Monday I had to stay home from work, I was still contagious and there was no way I could have driven to work with my eyes watering as frequently as they were.
The up side was that I wasn't very hungry at all and saw my weight dip down a little. I actually managed to get down to 192.7. As I am starting to feel a little better my appetite has also returned and I gained back a tiny bit of weight. Overall I am down over where I was before I got sick. I weighed in at 194.6 this morning and I am rather pleased about that.I have less than 10 pounds to go to reach my goal of 185.
How is everyone else doing? If you are following the blog please let me know what you think about it. Have you tried the recipes? Which is your favorite?

I have stabilized much better this time vs. the injections. My weight has not fluctuated beyond .6 pounds the whole time (2 weeks) in Phase 3. Last time it went up and down and up and down. I have even traveled, not counted calories and have eaten starches (not crazy amounts but nonetheless). The downside is I have not lost anymore but I feel this time my hypothalamus is being reset moreso than last time. Who knows. But I am going to start working out and we'll see how that goes. But, now lower than I have been pre-kids and pre-wedding and that is a GREAT feeling. I still want to lose about 10 pounds.
ReplyDeleteI think I too have stabilized better this time round but I wonder if that is just because I've been rounding out my meals better and really not felt the need to pig out. I still think I prefer the shots just for the convenience of them. I also find that taking fiber pills is preventing me from wanting to snack all day/night.
