Another Week, Another Weigh-In, Another Ramble

We had our Biggest Loser weigh-ins on Tuesday and I didn’t gain anything which is always good… I lost two pounds for what it’s worth. I could complain that it was the beginning of that time of the month but at the same time I could argue the opposite in that, for every weigh in, it has been at the beginning of that time of the month!

I am glad I didn’t lose but was feeling much better the week prior and know my numbers would have looked a lot better. I want to lose 10 pounds for the last weigh in… that will be a total of 15 pounds I think. I know, I want to lose double what I have lost in the last eight weeks but I am okay with that. I have been eating pretty well and more active this week than I have been in the last, well, eight weeks.

This has been yet another month where I ended up not pregnant (which ended up being a good thing considering events last night that I rather not get into right now) but still… when I think about how we have been kind of trying for the last four or five months with nothing if I could have lost at least seven pounds each month I would be 30 – 35 pounds lighter right now. So I am disappointed in myself and once things get in a little more order at home over the next couple of weeks I am really going to focus on myself. The weather is getting nicer and it makes me feel good just to be outside. We have bicycles now and I really enjoyed the ride we took this week so I need to get more used to the bike. Plus, I want to start running again – nothing spectacular but I would like to be able to run four or five miles without it killing me and right now I think a quarter mile would kill me!

I weighed myself this morning and it was 274.4 which kind of surprised me but I am chalking it up to still be that time of the month and being bloated. That said I am planning on not weighing in for a while and going by the way my clothes fit me; right now they are fitting better… my clothes are looser and so are some of my shirts. I need to go shopping for pants since I obviously cannot wear corduroys during the spring but would like go down one size; I am currently a 22 and would like to shop for 20s so we will see as I am in desperate need for clothes, especially pants, and don’t know if I will be able to wait until I am down a size.

Oh well, we’re going to the in-laws this weekend and it always screws up my eating…
