Weight: 272.1 -4.1
I feel: confuzzled
Wednesday Sept. 8, 2010-just realized I never posted this...duh!!
How do you lose 4 pounds in one day?
high blood pressure medication + diuretic = pee all day
So I know it's all water fluctuations but I am still stoked because I am that much closer to getting back under 270. I didn't mention this before, but although I committed myself to my goal on Labor Day, I have been working on this effort since early August. It took 3 weeks of mediocre effort to convice me I was going to have to attack this in the way all the experts say will work, the way I KNOW this will work, and the way I totally didn't want to do this because it takes EFFORT and I am lazy. :)
ugh with the honesty, even...
but this is how we grow.
So, 4 weeks ago, I started walking every morning for a week and started a Workout Wednesday with my best friend at her house. I took a salad for lunch every day and was trying to be more mindful of what I ate. Then the weekend hit, I didn't walk...I didn't go grocery shopping so we ate out...blah blah and so the excuses begin for why I laxed, haven't walked, missed Workout Wednesdays. Excuses is what I call it...but in reality, it is just easier to say...eh fuck it.
However, the small amount that I did complete got me down to 267 for 3 consecutive days. That was significant to me.
Honestly, just getting that 7 to change to a 6 and stay that way for awhile is going to feel so good. I am angry at myself for letting my weight get this out of control. I rationalized for years that I looked basically the same and I was just fluctuating the same 10 pounds over and over. But those 10 pounds brought me from 240 in 2002 all the way to 272.1 in 2010. My base weight is getting higher and higher.
I exercised 2 days...but today I didn't...there are no excuses. However, I did sit with the samurai and work out our finances for the month. We mapped out all of our expenses and where we bled money this month. we also discovered that if we did this money thing with some thought and planning instead of being all check card trigger happy, we do have the potential to save money to do the upgrades on the house etc. So small moves to making financial gains.
onward.
