Dub Dub Weigh In

{Week Four}


+0.2 lb
Change since restart (first week of 5/11): -3 lbs

So I gained this week, which is a TOTAL bummer, even though it's only a very slight gain. As you may already know, I missed last week's weigh in because I threw out my back and couldn't really do anything or go anywhere. I really did not want to miss because I knew that almost every time that I do, I have a bad following week. The accountability of the weigh in and the meetings really give me the motivation and the drive to do well.

I had a hard time tracking this past week because a) I was on drugs that made me super loopy and tired and b) I threw up three times, soooooo do I count those points?? Confusing. And I also couldn't work out at all, I mean I could barely move, there was no lifting of anything or Zumba dancing in my near future for a while. Also, those drugs really didn't, errrr, help "things" move along smoothly in the slightest (TMI, I know).

So this week I am going to be SUPER strict, especially since last night we and The Hadleys (Noel and Sarah) went to The Dokko's (Brian and Vanessa) house and were treated with a gourmet dinner made by Brian. We're talking cocktails, cheese and bread, poached eggs on asparagus with garlic croutons from scratch, beef sliders (cheese sliders for me and Noel), pork wontons for everyone else, the most delicious au gratin potatoes, cookies and homemade ice cream. Yeah, I tried to track all of that food and I'm pretty sure that I ate my entire extra weekly 49 points. That means I'm going to be ridiculously meticulous with my tracking... especially since I still can't work out because I'm still in pain from my back. Let's hope that I don't gain again next week!

awww honey it is only a small fraction of a pound. That is honestly less than our body weight changes throughout the day. WE fluctuate a good three pounds from morning to night naturally so that was just pee that you didn't release :). Your doing great and seeing you take your health seriously has sparked something in me. I have began once again journaling my daily food intake and so far I haven't overeaten which is a blessing. I am tempted to count calories but I'm not sure if that would promote sanity or insanity so for now I am just sticking to writing what I ate (at what time I ate it) and how I felt after the meal and what is working and isnt working. Also talking about if it tasted good or not is helping me because it allows me to only want to eat what tastes amazing and for some reason food that taste good promotes LESS eating on my part.

WEIRD.

But my novel on your page is done. lol Your beautiful!

@Hannah, thanks so much for the encouragement!

@Cheche, yeah I know how our body fluctuates throughout the day. I weigh in in the morning before I've eaten or drank anything at all, which is the time when your weight is most accurate so it was either because I gained this week or because of the giant dinner I had the night before. Who knows, haha! I'm so happy that I have been able to inspire you to be more healthy. I think that in our society taking care of our bodies has seriously been pushed to the back burner. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll feel so great!! I'm rooting for ya :)

@Mar, I'm so excited that I got the treats!! Thank you love!!

Jessica said...

what an incredible thing you are doing, working hard to live a healthy lifestyle. i'm proud of you and will pray for you. keep up the good work.

danielle @ take heart said...

keep it up, girl! you are doing awesome and are an inspiration to me!!

Jess said...

You are still doing an awesome job! Losing weight is hard work! Gaining a pound or two here and there is not a big deal (our weight fluctuates that much on a daily basis). I can't believe you have lost 33 pounds in 4 weeks! Hang in there! You're doing great :)

Unknown said...

@Sam, thank you darlin!!

@Meredith, thank you! you are so sweet to say <3

@Jessica, thank you SO MUCH for the prayers and the support. they certainly do not go unnoticed or unappreciated!

@Danielle, awwww, wow! thank you! <3

@Jess, Thanks!! I actually did not lose that much in four weeks (I wish!) I lost that much since I started WW in 2006. Well, I actually lost 50 lbs from 2006 to my wedding in 2010, but then I gained 20 lbs back on my honeymoon in Europe, which is why I'm back on the plan and trying to lose the honeymoon weight. I've lost about 3 lbs in the last 4 weeks. If you're interested, you can read about it all here, the post where I started this journey online: http://hecallsmewifey.blogspot.com/2011/05/dub-dub-ww.html

thanks so much!! <3

Just look at the weight you've lost! Holy achievement! In all goals there are setbacks but this one is so tiny it hardly counts:)

Unknown said...

Oh man...I have big goals for the rest of the year to lose all of this baby weight I gained with Penelope. Your face in this picture is exactly how I feel about it. :/

Congratulations. You're making fabulous progress! What program are you using for this. Looks like a simple enough, yet reliable tool. Let me know.

Unknown said...

@Bronson Family: Thank you so much, that is so sweet!

@Denise: I would still love to be a part of it! I'll check out your blog again :)

@No Model Lady: Thank you! I actually have only lost 3 lbs in the last four weeks, but the weight I've lost in the past few years has definitely been a great achievement. Thank you!! <3

@Erin: Hahaha, ya I try to convey what I'm really feeling in those photos HAHA. Good luck with losing the baby weight. That's something that I think about when I start to have kids. I just think, every time I get pregnant I'm gonna have to lose that weight all over again, but it's worth it I'm sure!

@Alaina: Aww you're welcome girly! And thank YOU!

@Cassie: Thanks! I'm using Weight Watchers online and also going to the meetings. I've tried so many diets over the years and WW is the only one that has EVER worked for me. You should definitely try it if you're looking to lose some weight.
