A little over three weeks have passed since I last entered my weight here. I've been sliding--really for the past two months. Maybe a little bit longer. I stopped counting my calories on a daily basis. I stopped going to the gym and when I sent I stopped entering in my specific accomplishments. I canceled on my personal trainer a million times. I just slid backwards.
I gained a little bit of weight back in all of the sliding. I was surprised that I didn't gain more, honestly. My highest was 259 which was very scary since I did not want to enter the 260's again. I was starting to feel really bad about myself and starting to get really depressed and I didn't know how to get started again.
I thought back to how I started back in January and I remembered that I just did it. I just started. And so, on Friday (5/25) I just started again. It's harder this time. I was so happy and enthusiastic in January and the pounds came off relatively easy--of so it feels now looking back. This time I have to work to find the enthusiasm.
I am feeling better though and more energized. I've been to the gym twice since Friday and have counted my calories 2 days in a row. It's the small things, right?
I've decided to set more rigorous goals for myself. I'm going on vacation in 6 weeks. I'd like to lose 20 pounds by then. It's a bit of a stretch but stretching is good!
I'm also upping my minimum amount of times per week to go to the gym to 4. It think that will be doable since school is just about over. Once school is officially out I want to hit the gym between 5 and 6 times a week--maybe more. We'll see.
I think that I'm also going to make myself weigh-in here and jot down a few things everyday. Maybe that will help to keep me more accountable.
So, here's to stopping the slide and regaining my enthusiasm and continuing my quest to be healthy!

losing 1.7 lb a week
29 April 2012
A lot has happened over the past few weeks. I was really sick. Probably the sickest I have been in years. As a result I was totally out of whack for a few weeks. I got to an all time low (253) because of not feeling like eating. Imagine being that sick! I really shouldn't have entered that weight because it wasn't a "real" weight. I did, though, and I do feel like I've gained more than I really did during my hiatus from healthiness.
As I was starting to feel better, I started to eat again and I just wanted comfort food. I think that I may have experienced something like an addict might experience. Just a taste of sugar, fast food, crazy carbs sent me reeling. I just wanted more and more. As a result, I not only went back to my pre-sickness weight (255) but gained 3 more pounds. Also, since I couldn't breathe for several weeks I stopped going to the gym. Since I've started the breathing process again, I've only been to the gym 4 times in 2 weeks.
So, what have we learned class? Well, I've learned that I probably have some sort of food addiction or at least chemical addiction to the stuff that is in "bad" food. I seriously couldn't stop eating and got to the point just short of bingeing. I used to binge and I haven't done it in months and months. It's kind of crazy how quickly it came back. The good thing this time is that I was able to stop myself. I take that as MAJOR progress.
The other thing that I learned is that routine is paramount to my success in eating right and getting to the gym. I can't deviate too far from my routine for too long because it's really hard for me to get back. I seriously had to push myself to go to the gym those 4 times. I'm going to go again this morning and I REALLY don't want to. It's getting better, and I'm going to go but it had gotten to the point where it wasn't a big deal for me to get to the gym prior to being sick.
The last thing I learned is that even though I had a fitness melt-down I didn't really gain too much. Realistically I only gained 3 pounds, not 5 pounds. That's pretty amazing given the fact that I really eat a lot and stopped exercising for several weeks. My body fat percentage did really spike, though. My Gold's challenge ended and I had my final weigh in and my body fat had really increased whereas my weight in pounds didn't change as much.
That's a whole other thing that is upsetting to me. My Gold's Challenge, my challenge with my husband, and my work's Biggest Loser all ended during my down time. I really wanted to finish stronger. A lot stronger. I did win my challenge with my husband (I love you iPad!) and I did lose 20 pounds at work. I think that the bigger thing is that I see that I still need to lose 80+ pounds and I just want it gone or at least going and I hate that anything kept me from my goal and that it was so hard for me to get going again. Even counting calories has been a chore.
Somehow I have to remember that this is going to be a long process and that there will be ups and downs. At minimum I figure this is going to take me about a year total to get to my goal. It would be so awesome if this were an easy process where results were instantaneous but that's not how the world works. I need to accept my faults as well as my strengths because otherwise I freeze and just get down on myself and get no where.
One last thought I had this morning...After I get going again, and my weight loss becomes more regular again, I'm never going to be 255 again. I realized that even with my setback this time, I didn't get out of the 250's. So thus, hopefully, if I have a setback in the 220's or something, it won't mean going significantly backwards if I don't let myself. I can do this!!!
