Progress

Week 15: November 16-22, 2010

This week I:
– Lost 0 lbs. Seriously, 2 weeks in a row, 0 loss. /fume (289.6)
– Drank all my water everyday. 66oz/day.
– Went to the farmer’s market (leeks, carrots, wheat shell pasta, gigli pasta, walnuts and pink lady apples)
– New recipe this week:

I still need to:
– Finish cleaning out the fridge

I’m feeling a bit frustrated. I spent the first half of the week about 3 lbs up. Then Friday Saturday and Sunday I ate whatever because I just gave up. So then I dropped those three lbs to end the week exactly where I was last week. Add to that, I’m in my second week of diahhrea. I visited my doctor yesterday and she ran a few tests and at this point is calling it Gastroenteritis (stomach flu). I feel better today.. so maybe it’s tapering off.

I recognize that gorgonzolla gnocci and pizza are not the best foods to eat if you’re trying to lose weight. That said.. I’m starting to feel a little fatigued with always being good. I don’t want to “quit” because that would be silly.. but I also want to see some progress because I’m being good. Hopefully not being sick will let me get back on the weight loss track.

We got an XBOX Kinect and “Your Shape: Fitness Evolved”. I’m enjoying the workouts and actually kind of like the soreness afterwards.

Now at least I can tell myself that “muscle weighs more” and that’s why I’m not seeing progress on the scale. Whatever. I’m in this for the long run, so let’s get on with it.
