OK I am going to attempt a journal on here... it might not always be pretty I get down on myself and well MY hubby is about to throw out my scale and move out cause I was having a really bad week last week.
OK I started out at 343lbs as of Jan 2.. and had gotten down to 323 as of Feb 16th.. well..then it all went down hill...I am a slave to my scale... I am on it all the time.. normally it doesn't do anything but motivate me but last week it started to creep up really fast and got to 331 again... I was so mad. and confused cause I am not doing anything different.. eating really good...doing my workouts plus added my elliptical and wham..my ankles started to swell a lil again. and then the pounds came back.. I was like there is NOWAY that I ate enough calories to equal that much weight gain..that is 28000 cal I would have had to consumed over last 11 days being there is 3500 cal in a pound...that comes down to apx... 2545 cal extra a day....I would know if I ATE THAT MANY EXTRA So needless to say I was not the nicest person to be around by this past weekend... ready to cry at the drop of a hat....POUT
Well I am feeling a lil bit better as of today.. I took some herbal water pills and my ankles are starting to deflate...lol. and I was back down to 327 this morning. Hopefully by wed I will be back down to my hard earned 323...or less!!! I think I am seeing a pattern with the water weight and my menstrual cycle but need another month to be sure...
My sister thinks I am making excuses for gaining. she laughed cause I told her it seemed to be happening when I ovulate and then during my period(swelling) well...not and excuse more like a theory.
Well I shall march on...and hope for the best...
