Nov lbs lost/gained: +2.6
Total lbs lost: 59.4
Overall November has been a difficult and trying month, and I have had my first real significant gain after a year of surgery. Disappointing, but realistic, and it is not so insurmountable a number, as to be defeating.
Too many meals out, too many days without water, too many “treats”
and not enough listening to my restriction.

I went home for a week long vacation and that is a seriously
difficult thing. It was emotional,
exhausting, and full of all the foods that I miss about home. So I over indulged, there was no scale to keep me
honest and I let it out of control.
Sadly. However, the sleeve did
its job and I managed to keep it to a couple of pounds.
However, it wasn’t a great feeling. Over Thanksgiving I really DID NOT WANT to
get on the scale. A clear signed that I need to get on it - so I made myself do it.
It was the kick up the arse that I needed.
Today is a nice 239.8 – which is back to an area that I’m
more comfortable with as a stable-ish point.
I really would like to crack into the
low 230’s on a consistent basis over this month, which is my goal.
OMG… I have a goal.
AHHHH! My first instinct is “prepare
to fail”. However, I’m going to start working at this and getting some more
fitness back into my life, as well as keep at my good habits. Water, eating at home, and adding in more exercise.
I spent the TG'ing weekend doing yard work and putting up the Christmas lights. I moved the bed around in the guestroom so that I can get to my exercise bike again, and I committed to starting to life weights with a friend again. So... December is going to be exiting!
All is not lost!
I'm considering the 5:2 diet. You eat normally for 5 days and then go down to about 500 to 600 calories for two days. The two days shouldn't be consecutive. It is supposedly a great way to lose those extra pounds and get donw ot goal and even use for maintenance.
ReplyDeleteI need to do something to jump start my weight loss. I am fluctuating within 3 pounds, but I can't seem to get below 180 again. It is frustrating.
Totally frustrating! I've not heard about the 5:2 thing, but that might be interesting...
DeleteI know for a fact that I'm not getting enough protein,and I'm overeating the sugars. That is my main food goal. Protein Protein Protein.
Of course, I have more to lose, so I know that will help me out. 180 is a lot different. Let me know how it goes!!
I know the frustration of the "gain during the holidays" as I did this last year and from Oct. - Jan. my net gain was +8lbs. So I threw down the gauntlet and swore that I would NOT be doing that again...so far, 2 holidays down (Halloween/Thanksgiving) and 2 to go (Christmas/New Years) with no gain. Don't let the holidays sidetrack you from your goals. (I know...easier said than done) but hang in there you can do this!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Yes. Todays gain has given me the jolt that I needed. Time to start being aware again.
