Had my weekly weigh in this morning and I am back up to 251! I barly got to enjoy the 240's Im not sure what happened, if its my period or just the fact that I didnt eat well this week. It might be a combination of both. It was not a good week..I craved sweets and junk food. I didnt go completely crazy but I did have a chic Filet milkshake not once by twice..they are so friggin good! and I just overall didnt eat very healthy..I have pretty good restriction but I can "eat around" that..I found myself grazing more this week and eating bigger portion sizes. I did still go to the gym and worked out pretty hard earlier in the week but really slacked off at the end of the week. I was a little upset after weighing in this morning but I figured it was my fault so I needed to buck up and not feel sorry for myself and just do better. To cheer myself up I went to do a little shopping today..I had a coupon at old navy and a gift card..I racked up in there! they had a huge clearance section and I bought a ton of spring tops and tee's. I also bought my pregnant sister some maternity stuff and my husband a few things..I spent less than a hundred and brought home 3 huge bags full of clothes. Before surgery I couldnt even get into their size 20 jeans and I was wearing their XXL tops. Today I simply got all XL tops and a couple Large and was able to fit into size 16 jeans!! I didn't buy any but I tried several on. The size 18's that I bought a few months ago are getting too big now and I have to wear a belt with them. I decided to wait a little longer to buy more jeans since I can techincally still wear the 18's. That did make me feel better but I am still upset when I don't do well and stray off the lapband path. I really want to lose another 20-30 lbs my summer and I can't afford a bad week if I want to hit that goal. Im definitly hitting the gym tomorrow and gonna go to the grocery store and get lots of healthy dinner and lunch food. I find that the more i eat out at work and not pack is when I stray the most and get the most tempted. I do have a funny story..........so picture this..Im in the mall and Iv got these 3 big shopping bags full of clothes...another store bag and my purse...im literally strugglin to hold it all as Im walking back to the door to the parking lot...I am wearing these flat ankle high boots with skinny jeans (yes, skinny jeans, whod a thunk?) and all the sudden my boot slips on the floor and i hit the ground...2 of my big bags bust and clothes go everywhere...there I am laying on the floor in the middle of the mall with clothes just everywhere around me!!!..LMAO...I could not even bare to look up..I quickly gathered the clothes up and stuffed them into the other bags, picked my butt off the floor and hauled ass to the door...I have never been so embarrassed in my life!! after I got out the mall I could breath again but than I thought...not one damn person even helped me or asked if I was ok or anything!! If I saw a woman do that I wouldnt of ran up and helped her gather her things at the very least! Needless to say my shopping trip was officially over..lol..I took that as a sign to stop while I was ahead. So hopefully next week I can say that I am back in the 240's again...I sure am gonna try my best!!
I hope you get back to the 240's soon. It's easy to fluctuate a few pounds, but it's the worst when you are right on the edge of a new decade. Sorry about your fall - totally sounds like something that would happen to me.
ReplyDeleteI have almost every size jean from Old navy (20-14), if you would want 16 or 14 let me know. I'm 5'4 so I'm not sure if you are tall or not. sometimes I get the short in jeans there. I'm in MD too - it's insanely cold today - stay warm.
Ive been there with "the fall" - you're not alone! And don't beat yourself up, you'll get back on track! I know you will!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the fall...I'm sure you're laughing now, even if you were mortified then! And, setbacks? Blah. I miss moving in decades...lol! I've been stuck in the 240's for MONTHS. We can do this!
ReplyDeleteNo one helps anymore. My husband and I were waiting for a table this weekend at a restaurant and a really old lady walked in and not a single person gave up their seat for her....except for us. What was sad is that it suprised her. Ugh! I bet your period has a lot to do with it and once you are past it you will be back in the 240's.
ReplyDeleteThat's so terrible no one helped you! I remember walking across an icy parking lot into the mall with my 2 week old son in my arms and my toddler holding my hand. I went flying...of course kept the baby safe doing one of those fan-dangled mom flips...but people just stepped over me and walked around...even with a screaming toddler and infant who were so traumatized. Unbelievable. I had forgotten about that story until I read yours! Hope you didn't bruise anything!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I really dont know whats wrong with people today...:)
