Mad Monday Weigh in....Back to the basics...

Back to the basics! I am doing SO bad!!! I don't know what my problem is but I really need to figure it out FAST!!
Today's weigh in.....212.8! Gain of 2 lbs. NOT GOOD!! All I know, is thank goodness it wasn't more.
 
So my totals are:
62.0 lbs down since 8/22/12!
47.4 lbs down since surgery on 10/15/12!

How did this happen?!?! I totally know how, yep, it's called eating out, Cheesecake, Chocolate cake, Carrot Cake, baby bundt cakes, oh and 2 trips to DQ!! And that's not even counting the 2 or maybe 3 frappuccino's I had this past week! Was it good?!?! ABSOLUTELY!!! Was it worth it?!?! NO not really!

Have I been holding myself accountable?!?! Eh, maybe, I know what I have done, there is no one to blame and I am not going to use everything going on around me as an excuse. Why? Because I thought about my weight every time I put something in my mouth and I could have chosen not to eat it!

Am I beating myself up after the fact?!?! Of Course! Do I need to move on?!?! YEP!! Let it go Chris!

What have I not been doing?!?! Logging religiously, making sure not to drink 30 minutes before/after or during, blogging. Reasons?!?! Self-punishment for life's happenings? TOTALLY! Depressed? yep! Lazy? Maybe! Lack of GAD (Give-A-Damn)? Basically!

Don't you just love how I can remember every wrong thing I did?!?!

So now what?!?! Let me look at what I did do right.....
Last
Tuesday - Jogged 3.25 miles on the treadmill, Swim (600 Calories)
Wednesday - Swim, 4.37 mile bike ride (350 calories)
Thursday - Swim (100 Calories), Painted with a friend I hadn't seen in forever!
We had fun! We drank wine and painted wine glasses. Well we didn't paint actual glasses. Here is my painting.
Friday - Swim (100 Calories)
Saturday - Biked 6.21 miles, Jogged 3.2 miles outside in the beautiful weather (800 Calories) (I took pictures because I was amazed!)
Sunday - Biked 8.17 miles (360 calories)

What's planned for today? I had lunch about an hour ago, so I am heading into the gym around 2 - 2:30 today, I am going to use the treadmill for about 30 minutes and use the elliptical for about 30 minutes. Then I swim tonight at 5.

I went back and recreated my food log from Thursday though the weekend. Thursday, Friday & Saturday are looking pretty scary. So was my water intake!

Yesterday wasn't horrible and today I am off to a good start. I am working on staying away from sugar and bread of all kinds. It's evil! I am convinced!! This will be darn hard!

Today I had a 1/2 of a Baja Turkey Club left over from Red Robin last week. I threw the bread, the bacon, and the cheese away and just ate the turkey and a couple of green chilis with some egg salad I brought today. And I have had 72 oz of water so far. I will post today's totals later tonight. I am going to start posting my food log.

I did buy a bike. Friday night. I had to go on the cheap side. Things are a tad tight right now. So I did go to Walmart and I got a mountain bike. I replaced the seat right away and of course I got a helmet too. My daughter's bike was a tad small, but it was dual suspension and I like that. So I wanted a dual suspension bike. I talked to a few biker friends at work and found a bike that put my leg in the right position and it doesn't hurt my knees when I ride. The reviews online are so-so for this bike but so far I like it. It's a Huffy Rock Creek bike. I think it will be a good starter bike for me.
Yesterday the girls and I went painting because they were doing a fundraiser for the Children's Hospital. It was a dream catcher night. Was so much fun! Wanna see our paintings?!?!? Here's mine, and K's & J's! I drank water! No wine!
 
 
The weather has been so nice! Last night was a bit breezy! I was cold, I think my puppy knew it. He laid with me to keep my tootsies warm.
OK I'm sad, my shows are all over now. I have to wait until late September early October before they come on again. Obsessive much?!?! My hubby found an old jacket he had from years ago that has been in a box in the basement. It looks like one of the ones that Dean wears on Supernatural! YAY! I have a Dean Jacket!!
OK All, Have a great afternoon! Thanks for listening to me rant!

  2. Hi Chris! Well, you know what caused it. So when you see a restaurant, go the opposite direction! Honestly, you're doing great with your total weight loss.

    Remember to add all of your weekly calories together and divide by 7 to find your average daily calories. Yes, you have to add in *all* the indulgences into the average calories because they do not magically disappear just because you feel regret.

    A tad bit of chewing yourself out over bad eating is good, but never get down on yourself.
