This has been a very bad week for me. Trying to watch my calories and they seem under control but I had a few slip ups! Plus the Miralax still does not seem to be working as well as it should. Thurs I had 2231 burn calories and Friday 2205 burn calories. I just need to watch what I eat and eat healthy. At this point I don't think I have lost a lb and might have even gained a few. Not sure. I feel very bloated at the moment. I wish I could exercise more than I am able at the moment. I am getting a bit discouraged.
I guess the main thing is to remember that I am trying and that it will take longer this time and that I am doing this in the long run for my health more than looks, etc. I just need to get on track a bit more I think.
On the plus side....my bi-cep went down an inch, my bust 1/2 inch and my thigh a whole inch so that is good. Guess I have to look at every little part to get the big picture. I just want to go down 6 lbs a day I guess !!!!!!! :) Suggestions besides watch going out...which dad wanted to do a lot this week. We ate at a place Jimmy Jack's last night. I ate only 1/2 of a plain pulled pork sandwich, 3 fries and a tiny bit of corn bread. I also did not get any ice cream when he stopped at Dairy Queen !!!!!!!!!!! I realize this is a problem as of late but I also know I have also eaten less when we do go out. As soon as he gets working full time the going out will quit (thank goodness) because he will get home at 8:00 and I will have time to prepare better food.
seems like your attitude is better...that will help immensely.
ReplyDeletetake an extra dose or two of Miralax...it will not hurt you. it is the same idea of the stuff you take when you have a colonoscopy except on a much smaller scale. taking more to get things going will not hurt.
why is dad controlling the menu? why can't you say....hey, I'm making such and such tonight. It would not hurt him to eat better also. If I remember correctly his cholesterol was iffy...eating crap is not good for him either. even if you are eating less...it is full of unknown calories...sometimes a meal eating out can have 1500 calories....even if you eat half of it, you are probably getting more than you want. Not to mention all the saturated fat, plain old fat, sodium, etc etc etc. I honestly think for this to work in the long run you will need to address this eating out issue. It is a bad habit and I have been there before....so I know. i know it sucks to have to come home and cook something when that is the last thing in the world you want to do. that is where planning ahead is important. it is okay to tell dad that you are not going to be eating out as much...perhaps once a week? nothing bad will happen. what is he going to do? go eat without you?
Your attitude does seem better. Plus, your body is losing inches, so there is progress going on even if the scale isn't showing it. Keep it up.
