I finally weighed in yesterday after following BFC for over a week. Woo Hoo down, 0.4 lbs. Really??? This morning I was up a pound. I know that this will take longer for me as I am older but criminey, this long? I had hoped for at least a pound. I know I will not drop like others who lose a pound a day, or 2-4 per week, but I know that I did this faithfully last fall and for 5 weeks stayed within a pound. BTW, I also stay at this weight when I eat a bag of potato chips every day.
Someone has suggest dairying for MFP every day and I really thought I was being careful enough, but I think I will try that going forward to see if it makes a difference. The only thing, besides the crab sandwich and chowder Friday, I can think of I did out of line, was Sunday night I made a mixture of hamburger, mushrooms, sour cream and cauliflower and poured it over zucchini noodles. A rendition of a family recipe called Sour Cream noodles. I had 2 helpings and ate until I felt very full. I know that is a mistake and regretted it all evening. I am eating vegetables at almost every meal and no second portions for me. When I see what Rosalie eats, I wonder if I am eating enough in the mornings. That is hard for me. I'm learning to eat salad bar with lettuce, celery, mushrooms, turkey, small amount of blue cheese dressing for lunch from Whole Foods.
I am enjoying my job more and more. But I am sad to hear how my previous job is treating all my co-workers. I find I cannot talk to them too much as I revert back to the bad feelings and stress I had before I left. I am always surprised how such a negative environment can physically effect so many people. I have been given a gift with this new job and the time I have to work from home this summer. I do not want to take that for granted. When I review how the past 2 years have impacted me, I am less worried about my weight than the stress and fear from my past job........so disappointed but in the bigger scheme of things, not totally disappointed.
Just keep on working at it! Weight goes up and down day by day, and as long as you keep on trying the results will come! I have to make sure I limit my low carb food or I have trouble losing weight. I think that journalling will help figure out what you are eating too much of. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you notice clothes fitting better before you notice pounds gone on the scale. If you keep at it all of sudden you'll have a nice loss!
