I had my first official weigh-in today and I am down to 306 from 325. WOW! I am almost in the 200's. Unfortunately, when they took my pressure it was high so therefore they cannot refill my Phentermine. I hope I can continue to lose the weight while I try to get my pressure down.
I am so close and I do not want to mess anything up. I truly need some encouragement. I AM SO CLOSE...
When I weighed in this morning I was indeed shocked to see I am now 14lbs down. I am loving this! More importantly I would like to congratulate myself for going to lunch with my coworkers and still ordering the right foods and not being swayed and not cheating not even a small bite. I went to IHOP yesterday with the family, and I ordered an omelet. If you ever been to IHOP you know the delicious pancakes comes with your omelet. When the pancakes came I gave them to my son and his dad to share. Pancakes are my weakness....WAIT! Pancakes WAS my weakness! YAY!!!! I didn't think about it twice when they came I just put one on each of their plates and went about eating my omelet. This feels good and is starting to become second nature. Tonight is soccer practice so I wiil get there a little early to practice with David before everyone gets there. That is one way I'm trying to incorporate exercise. Have a GREAT day!
So I weighed in this morning and I a, now 314. That is 10lbs since last Monday. Man oh man, I am so pumped and ready to lose another 10 by the end of the week. I just have to keeping saying to myself, keep focused girl, keep focused girl, keep focused girl...
I believe it is working. YAY!
So I started the Atkins Diet this past Monday. Boy I never realize how many foods I at that has carbs. Anyway, I've done really well all week. So Monday I weighed in at 324 and today I weighed in at 317. Now, now I know 7lbs is not that much but at least I see the scale finally moving. So far exercise is getting a little easier to make happen every other day. I tried getting up at 6am for a 30min workout but that didn't happen. I'm too much of a night owl and hate waking up early in the am. Yesterday I was able to do the elliptical for 18min burning 300 calories while watching Americas Best Dance Crew. Then I went downstairs to put a load of clothes in and started working on my abs and arms, while watching two 30min episodes of Golden Girls. So working out for 1hr and 18 mins is awesome to me.
So I'm really looking for some snack items for Atkins and there really isn't much. I have pork skins and beef jerky(yuck). I hate jello(makes me gag) so I guess I will head down to Wal-Mart to find the Atkins granola bars. I think that would do it for me. I hope I can keep the exercise and the low carb diet going to see more results. I would love to be in the 200's. Well it's going on 10 minutes to midnight. I guess it's time to go to bed. David has his first soccer game in the morning. There is nothing like a bunch of 4 year olds running after the ball and not really knowing what to do with it. Too funny!!! Well goodnight!
Here I sit tonight at midnight just finished working out. I worked on the elliptical machine for a little over 18 minutes burning 300 calories. Then I took a load of clothes downstairs and as they were washing I did my ab workout while watching two episodes of Golden Girls. I'm actually real proud of myself.
Kaiser Permanente has podcasts for guided imagery. It is suppose to help you lose weight sort of like self hypnosis. I guess I will download it to the MP3 and listen. Hopefully it will put encouraging words in my sub-conscience so I can stick to my plan. Well good night for now...
I weighed myself this morning and yes it read 318 from 324. I thought I was going to explode. I know it's not alot but I've been waiting for two weeks to see some type of loss and it is finally happening. Thank Goodness!!!!!!!!!!
Well I decided to take the Phen later today around 9:30ish. I went in to work and weighed myself. I could not get an accurate reading because everytime I stepped on the scale it gave me a different reading. UGH! I wish I had a Doctor type scale handy. For breakfast I had an orange and water. For lunch I went to Wendy's and got a side salad and two orders of nuggets. So out of the 10 nuggets I ate 8. As the day went on I started getting hungry (3pm) and as soon as I felt hunger panes I would take two gulps of water.
Picked my son up from daycare (5:30) and now I am starving. I wanted to eat right then and there so I prepared hot dogs and a can of baked beans. Can you believe I ate two hot dogs and the beans! I am so mad at myself and my doctor. I emailed him two days ago to see what type of plan should I be following and he has not emailed me back. I want to know whether or not I should stay away from carbs or just focus on calories. How many calories per day, etc. What about energy? Am I suppose to have energy while on Phentermine? If so, where is my energy? I would love to have the momenteum to get up and go to an aerobic dance class or something! UGH!!! Am I starting to fail already? It has only been 3 days I know but it's not feeling promising. Well tomorrow is another day let's see what happens.
So I woke up this morning at 6:30 and took my pill at 6:40ish. I was pretty good all day. Went to work and ate half a banana and water. Went to lunch with clients and ordered Calamari (which I love) and interesting enough I did not pig out. I had a maximum of 8 pieces and that is on the high side. My lunch was the grilled chicken salad and I didn't even eat half of that. I just didn't feel like it. Well came home and had leftovers. David(son) had a turkey burger with mac & cheese. I had mac& cheese and 3 wingettes. I was shocked at myself only had a desire for three wingettes when usually I can eat a minimum of 10. The craziest thing about it all is the last bit of my wing...I couldn't swallow it. I actually spit it out. I just didn't want it anymore. Now being that I am a midnight snacker I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal. Poured myself a small bowl of Frosted Flakes, needless to say I ate of couple of spoonfuls and am done with it. I really like not having the desire to want to eat like before. I hope by the end of the week I can see a bigger change in my eating habits and an even bigger change on the scale. Goodnight...
