But I did gain 4.2 pounds in one week.
Which? Is a rather impressive gain, particularly considering I was "good" Monday through most of Friday, and then KAPOW, the weekend was here and it was cheese for dinner and wine, wine, wine, and last night I ate a cheeseburger and shared a hot fudge sundae and also? I am supposed to start my period today so I suppose I could blame some of this on water retention. Which would be a pretty good excuse if last month on the day I started my period I hadn't recorded a 2.6 pound loss.
I weighed myself this morning and then I ate the rest of the cheeseburger for breakfast. This week is kind of a double whammy of negativity, with the weight gain and the period (meaning another unsuccessful month of trying to conceive).
But, I was just waiting for my period to start so I could begin the diet that will probably kill me. Because what I am planning next excludes the following foods:
- carbohydrates (except fruit & vegetables)
- peanut butter. Which I currently eat every day.
- sugar, including chocolate.
- coffee
- dairy (God help me)
- alcohol
All of this is effective the moment my period starts. Except if I go on vacation, which I may do at some point in the next month. And also except for one meal on April 30, because that is when I am going to eat tiny sandwiches and scones and drink tea while I watch recorded coverage of the royal wedding.
Also effective the moment my period starts is exercise, at least half an hour of it, every day, preferably vigorous.
Anyway. Because I gained 4.2 pounds this week, I now have to re-lose that weight, and then some, for a total of 40.8 pounds. What a freakin' bummer.
So, this week's item of clothing that I'm looking forward to fitting into eventually is my "More Cowbell" T-shirt. It's too tight, obviously. I just want to wear it to yoga. Is that too much to ask?
Ug. Me, too.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to hear what I'm blaming my unsuccess on??? I gave up coffee and cigarettes and booze. Do you now what coffee and cigarettes and booze help you do? In the morning? With a cup of coffee?
I think that as soon as I drink enough metameucil that scale will start moving.
Ahhh... Plugged up? I was having a bit of an issue in that department and started taking a supplement that has probiotics, which seem to help. There's always Activia. :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay. I hate giving this woman props because she is the most boring white person on the face of the planet with a SEVERE OCD problem but Kath Eats Real Food really helps show you how to eat well and healthfully without driving yourself crazy with cravings. I mean...if you can get through reading her stupid blog without throwing your laptop at the wall.
ReplyDeleteI kind of live to hate her but she might help.
"Kath Eats Real Food" ... typing it into Google right now ...
ReplyDeleteP.S. I just typed "Kath eats" and after Google guesses "real food," the next guess is "real food annoying" :-)))))))
