Oh, my goodness, I'm missed!!!
LOL Ella, thanks for noticing I'm gone! Sometimes I wonder if I'm just spinning my wheels with this blog, but it appears I do have a reader out there, so I guess I'll just have to update today.
Well, the Biggest Loser II challenge is over, and I should have been kicked out because I quit sending in my progress. I quit sending in my progress because I quit having any!!! Oh well, the damage wasn't all that great. It's not like I gained back the whole 30 pounds I lost.
With that being said, I got on the scale this morning and was HORRIFIED by the number I saw!!! I'm still under 200, but just barely, if this morning's weigh-in is to be believed. Now, I'm sure some of that is retaining water from all the salt I've been consuming, but still it doesn't make me feel very happy. When I weighed on Friday I was 196.6, and this morning claimed 199.6. I know for sure I didn'really eat enough to gain three pounds in three days, although I wouldn't be surprised if one of those pounds is for real. It ain't been pretty, that's for certain.
This morning I'm back doing Medifast again for the time being. I'm not doing it exactly right, by their standards anyway, but I want to take off those holiday pounds quickly before I get back to my old slow progress again. Medifast, I've found, is fine in small bursts. I just don't like doing it for too long at a time because I start feeling tired and my complexion doesn't look pretty. I'm adding a little of my 100-calorie popcorn as an afternoon snack. Carbs, I know, are naughty, but honestly I know I will lose weight just with the calorie restriction anyway, regardless of how many carbs I'm getting.
So this is my update. Hopefully I'll have some better news to post here soon. The battle continues...
