I have reversed my weekend sabotage and are showing a 2 pound loss!!!! Hubby and I were talking, and we might change our weigh in day to be on Wednesdays...especially because this seems to become our most social part of the year. I know, you'd think it would be summer...but for some reason, we eat out more in the fall with friends.
My mom is coming down on Friday night, so we'll be going out to dinner that night...and then staying all day Saturday...so again, more eating out. I'll just need to make sure I don't splurge, and be better in my decisions this time!
Weigh-in:
165.5 lb
lost so far:
42.5 lb
still to go:
15.5 lb
Diet followed reasonably well

losing 1.5 lb a week

Self Sabotage…why do we do it? Weekends are a killer for me for some reason. I am able to be good during the week…plan plan plan…and have good intentions for the weekend. Then, the weekend comes, and its like I throw away all the rules to weight watchers, and eat what I want. This weekend we had dinner out for two nights in a row with friends. I definitely could have made better choices, but I think there will always be that part of me that says, no way, I want to eat what I want, don't "tell" me what I can't eat, and I'll be fine! Well…its not fine. I weighed myself Saturday morning, and I saw 166.4….a whole pound less than last week (yaaaay)….then…after my horrible eating weekend…I am at 167.5! (boooo) =(
I know what I did wrong and know how I can fix it, but I'm tired of playing catch-up! I need to somehow figure out why I constantly do this over and over and over again to myself. You would think that feeling better in clothes would make it so I wouldn't do this to myself. Maybe its because it just plain pisses me off that I can't just eat whatever I want, whenever I want to eat. That I will have to watch what I eat for the rest of my life, because that’s the type of body I have. Frustrating.
I've been on a diet rollercoaster ride ever since I can remember…and its always typical…I get down to my goal weight, feel great, think that I will never do this again…and then before I realize it, I'm back up to a 12, 14, 16 again. This is the first time that I've actually started this process when I have 17 pounds left to loose, but still…its happening. I NEED to reel myself back in, regain focus, so I can say no on the weekends. I really need to start thinking about this now, otherwise I will end up right back where I started again…and even heavier…as each year its gets worse.
On the emotional side, yesterday my parents ended up finally admitting to each other that they want a divorce. So now they are going to go through that whole process. I'm hoping they will be able to keep it amicable, especially after 43 years of marriage, but we shall see…lots of hurt feelings going on there. I'm just glad a decision was finally made, and now they came move forward in some direction, instead of staying in limbo.
I've also been experiencing awful hot flashes this month…which I'm learning seems to directly connect with Aunt Flo…because I still haven't gotten her yet…which is what I need for the next donor cycle. Sigh….waiting again. (and nope….not prego…because I took that test as soon as I was late).
Other than the awful weekend eating and emotions and hot flashes, my weekend was great. We went out with the honeymooners from the most recent wedding we went to, then on Saturday I had an old friend that I haven't seen in ages came over for dinner. She wasn't able to make it to our wedding, so this was also the first time she got to meet my husband too. We laughed so hard, my face was killing me! Hubby and I went to Ikea yesterday to have our coach cushion replaced, and purchased a long TV "stand" (can't think of what else to call it), that goes down below the TV…but the TV is mounted to the wall, so it doesn't really touch it. Our home really feels like its coming together, and looks great! We have been spending a lot of time on it, and its paying off. =)
Hope everyone's weekend was relaxing…and here's to being FOCUSed today! =)

Yesterday was not a good eating day for me. We met up with a friend from work who just had a baby, and she was craving Mexican food. I thought I did well, until I calculated everything into FatSecret, I found I was already at 19 points for the day! (I'm only allowed 21 right now). So I said "screw it", and ate over my points because I was frustrated with myself.
I'm back on track this morning at least, and plan to eat within my points today...although its hard because this is hubby's school night. So instead of watching TV, and munching, I think I'm going to do some much needed scrapbooking to keep my hands, and mind busy! I love scrapbooking :)

Finally caught up with work, and now getting caught up on journals. Its been pretty hectic with us. We went to our first donor egg seminar, and received more information on that. We did find out that we are mentally further along then many of the other couples that were at the seminar. So that was good to learn. Its also such an expensive process for a "chance" and no guarantee! Get this…if insurance covers us, then we "only have to pay $25,000 out of pocket". ONLY?! Dang! If they don’t cover us, then its $35k-$40k out of pocket! UGH!!!! I still can't get over the price…I'm in "sticker shock"!!! Sooo now we wait…again. Hubby has already had his testing that’s needed, so now we are waiting for Aunt Flo to visit me so I can get more testing that’s needed as well (apparently the tests expire every 6 months). The whole process for someone motivated, like us, apparently it 3 to 4 months…sooooooo maybe I'll make it before I turn 40. =)
Sooo please keep your fingers and toes crossed that once we go through the testing, donor selection (that’s a strange one too…you actually see adult photos of the donors!), that hopefully it be a successful transfer and we'll be parents soon.
I haven't been doing too bad food wise. Been good during the week, but then the weekends have been challenging. I always seem to have one bad day out of the two on the weekends. So far it hasn't bitten me in the butt yet…but figure it’s a matter of time, so I need to start focusing again, and not go all out.
We have been doing a TON of house work, feels great. I feel like I've been in a funk for a while now with this fertility stuff, so FINALLY I feel like I have my motivation back. You could eat off the floors. =) We have caulked the tub, fixed transformers for track lighting, repairing a leaky sink….going to paint a few walls that need it…been filing, going through old paperwork, etc. etc. etc.
Sooo that’s the kind of month its been. Looks for more frequenting postings to your journals now! =)
