Still sick but feeling better with drugs.
Weightloss is suffering even though I've been on program throughout.
Don't understand it.
I thought people lost weight when they get sick?
Not me though, huh?
Figures.
I've caught my husband's cold and I'm feeling downright SICK right now.
Like knock-me-out-I'm-done sick. *groan*
I've been sleeping on and off all day long today and I've missed my mid-morning snack because of it.
I am trying so hard to stay on program but I fear I may be losing the battle soon.
Help!
w00t! w00t!
Got on the scale this morning and found 3.4 lbs. gone!
It's working! Yay!
Note To Self: Work on on getting to bed and waking up at the same time every day!
I am currently doing the New Lifestyle diet.
I was on Medifast for a month and found the food there not to my liking but I stayed with it because I was dropping weight. Then I came across New Lifestyle after stumbling upon their message boards. I ordered a month of their product and found that the food tasted much better and so I switched. But then the whole thing with the pregnancy/miscarriage happened so I had to stop the program and have recently started back up again after my doctor's go-ahead.
In this post I will be keeping track of my taste preferences with the NL food packets. Please keep in mind that these are just my personal tastes.
NL Shakes/Puddings
Chocolate - Very Good
Mint Chocolate - Good
Mocha - Very Good
Vanilla - Tolerable
Strawberry - Tolerable
Chocolate Marshmallow Pudding - Not Very Good (tastless pudding; maybe mix with less water?)
NL Drinks
Berry Creme Smoothie - Good
Lemonade - Very Good (a little on sweet side; add more water)
NL Soups
Minestrone - Good
Creamy Chicken - Good
Vegetarian Sloppy Joe - Tolerable (very sweet tasting to me)
NL Bars
Butter Pecan - Good
Lemon Crunch - Good
NL Snacks
BBQ Crunchy O's - Good (a little too spicy for me though)
Totally messed up yesterday's eating plan.
Unexpected things came up during the day and I was unprepared.
First official weigh-in has me at 2.8 lbs. down my first week.
Damn... that 4.4 looked a whole lot better. But a loss is a loss. *sigh*
Loss might have been more if I had actually started on the 7th instead of the 10th. But for bookkeeping purposes, I have decided to keep official weigh-in days on Mondays and therefore on the charts have stated my start date as 1/7/08.
I am determined to have a better week 2.
Monday is my official weigh-in day but I've been keeping track of my weight daily because I'm compulsive like that. I keep it to weighing only once a day though. When I was younger I would weigh myself every morning and night... and every time I ate or went to the bathroom. I know. Sick. I'm over that. So just once a day now.
I stepped on the scale this morning and voila... 4.4 lbs. gone!
I have a real problem with eating within the recommended time increments.
Must work on that harder.
Otherwise, I'm doing okay.
Food's not all that bad.
Headaches are killer though.
But I've lost 2lbs. already so that's a... *thumbs up*
I've noticed that it's pretty quiet around here. I've read many posts where people are asking where the other members are because they never get any comments when they post. I don't mind that's it's pretty quiet. I blog my normal life elsewhere and I get my "comment fix" there. I came here to blog about my weightloss because I didn't want to explain myself to IRL people about my weightloss choices. I know they won't be very supportive and that's the one thing I don't need while I'm on this journey of mine. I want to have a baby and I will do whatever it takes to lose this excess weight so that I can have a healthy pregnancy.
I'm tired of losing out. I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of short-changing myself out of a good life. So I'm changing it... quietly.
So here it is, the beginning of 2008 (already 10 days into it in fact) and I am still not where I should be. *sad sigh*
Things have changed dramatically since starting my last diet back in October. Shortly after starting, I found out I was pregnant. Great news until about 8 weeks into the pregnancy when I started spotting which eventually turned into a miscarriage. Right about here we cue depression and of course more weight gain.
It's been a month now and my OBGYN has given us the go ahead to try again. And as excited as I am to try again, I want to do something for myself first. I want to get rid of this fat once and for all.
Ten days into 2008 and I have begun a new lifestyle. I want to lose and never look back. I want to lose and finally have a healthy pregnancy.
I want to lose and gain my life back.
2008...
It's been far too long now.
I've neglected myself for far too long.
I need to do this.
This has to happen.
The time is now... because I am running out of time.
