Wish I knew

I weighed myself today and GAINED 2.4 LBS (1.09 kg) this week for a total loss of 74.6 pounds( 33.84 kilograms) LOST in 61 weeks.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON..I worked out 6 days this week! I am putting a call into my doctor today to see if I need the band tightened. I cannot believe this. I am soooooooooooooooo ashamed, I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE...I even did a liquid diet 2 days this week, to try and shock my body into working again, and NOTHING! I really wish I knew what was wrong here, but I have no clue. I have gained weight the last two weeks and my Venezuela trip is approaching and I need to LOSE so that I fit into the SEAT! OH MY GOD, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS WRONG HERE!

WHAT THE FUCK???

I weighed myself today and GAINED 1.4 LBS (.64 kg) this week for a total loss of pounds( 35.11 kilograms) LOST in 60 weeks.

I worked out 6 days this week. I wanted to try something and see what the outcome on the scale would be. Although it is hard to say since I got a surprise gift, 10 days early, yep my period AGAIN! Sooo weird, going to the doctor to make sure it is not related to that cyst that I have on my ovary.

I really do not know what to say. I did not stray from the plan and I committed really hard to my work outs this week, I was anticipating breaking the 80 pound (36.29 kg) this week. I really have NOTHING to say except that I am PISSED!

If you have not heard, I was offered my contract for next year. SO EXCITING! I am so grateful to God for honoring me in this way. I worked really hard and I am just thrilled to be at the school that I am at with a boss that I respect and who is an overall NICE person!

Anyway, I really have NOTHING to say at this point except that I am beyond disappointed and just sooooooo angry, I need to stop typing before I throw my laptop across the living room! Thanks for reading, hopefully, next week, I will have better news!

Sweet!

I weighed myself today and LOST 1.4 LBS (.64 kg) this week for a total of 78.8 pounds(35.74 kilograms) LOST in 59 weeks.

I can TASTE 80 pounds, and I am not giving up! My goal is 100 lbs (45.36 kg) by Venezuela. I bought my ticket this weekend. Praying that I continue to lose and I can fly somewhat comfortable. I just do not want to spill over into the seat next to me. If I can do that, I will be really HAPPY! I will be going from July 26-August 16, 2011. I am really excited and the only thing that would make it better is if Frank could go with me, but his job is just too demanding. Thankfully, he understands why I need and want to go and he is supportive.

So this week, my friend helped me clean out my closet. I am really grateful as I needed her to say "LET IT GO!" and help me purge my closet. There were 7 trash bags thrown away of clothes that were just too big. That's always a nice feeling!

I worked out with the trainer this weekend. I told him about my injuries and how my legs were just THROBBING from running so he curtailed the workout and he still KICKED MY ASS! He is really good though, wish I had the cash to get him here more than once per week.

In the process of cleaning out the closet, I found tons of work clothes, with tags still on them in various sizes. I am now wearing a size that I have not worn since High School! People at work are starting to notice now, which is always awesome.

This week was Mother's Day and it was single-handedly, THE HARDEST DAY that I have had since my beloved mommy was taken from us. I felt such an emptiness and it was really painful. Seeing all the mom's with their flowers and all dressed up at church was truly an agonizing experience. Thankfully, the Lord comforts...

So this week, I want to add another workout to my regimen. Hopefully, an extra day will allow me to have a higher loss next week. We shall see, thanks for reading!

Annoying!

I weighed myself today and only LOST .2 LBS (.09 kg) this week for a total of 77.4 pounds(35.11 kilograms) LOST in 58 weeks. PATHETIC!!! I cannot figure this out, I did not cheat at all and I am really pissed this morning. I did have an awesome loss last week, perhaps, my body is balancing out...no idea...sooooo annoyed! I need t0 lose 22.6 pounds more by my trip! This is soooooo hard, even with the band, losing weight is a constant challenge. Daily, I have to make the right choices on my diet, exercise etc...Just once I would like not to have my this pressure on myself, no such luck I guess...

This week was pretty uneventful, EXCEPT for the time I spent shopping for the DREADED BATHING SUIT! The good news is that I am SEVERAL SIZES smaller, HOWEVER, I may be the object of some local whale harpooners! I would rather do ANYTHING than have to look at my body in a 3-D mirror, I mean really, it is the most OBJECTIONABLE NIGHTMARE known to the female species! Someday, maybe I won't mind so much, although I do not know many women who enjoy bathing suit shopping...

It has been one week since my cousins have gone home, and I really miss them..It is the strangest thing, because I saw them once when I was 4, Once ten years ago and then last week..yet the bond that I have with all of them is very strong. For those of you who have read this blog and have known me for years, you will know how I always hoped and prayed for a big and here is the key GENUINE extended family. I am so grateful for technology, like Skype and Facebook, which allows us to stay in touch and I am really excited about my trip.

Speaking of my trip, truthfully, I AM FREAKED over flying and TRIPLE FREAKED at having to fit in those seats! My plan is to continue doing what I am doing and hopefully I will be 100 lbs (45 KG) lighter!

I returned to teh gym tonight, went to spin class, feeling great! I have been walking and I will be talking to my trainer about incorporating speed walking in our weekly workout sessions. Anyway, thanks for reading!
