Hello you all!
I managed to keep this day very low for calories. Actually a little TOO low!!!
The total was only 543 calories. I basically had chicken soup, made with a chicken thigh and 2 legs - no skin, some celery and broccoli. I also had a couple glasses of Cashew Milk, and some cream in my morning coffee. It is after 5pm now and I am hungry, but I am not going to eat anything more because I want to eat tomorrow at the Golden Corral, and try to keep these cals low for the rest of the week.
I can live with this fasting day without dying.
I will have my coffee/cream tomorrow morning and a glass of Cashew Milk before we leave for the hospital. It will tide me over until we eat.
CRICKET - oh how I was hoping you could have seen a loss!
I hear the frustration in your electronic voice and I truly sympathize with you. You are suffering from Diet Food Burnout. But the worst part is having to eat these stingy foods day in and day out, being strict and careful, yet STILL not seeing any true losses after all your efforts! I understand that all too well!
Please stay strong and diligent. You have an awful lot of medication going on, and a lot of inflammation I bet. I hope you see some relief in that shoulder real soon, and are able to cut down those meds and steroids and such. AND get some much needed rest!
KATHY - congrats on your loss! You ARE so close!
Basically back to square.
HIMI - At least you ended the week with a 1/2 lb loss.
A weekly loss is the whole point around here.
It's good to hear you were able to have some good on-plan foods for your holiday meal today! Bless your Mom for making something special just for you.
BARB - You did great this week! Losing nearly a lb is great!!!
I am sorry to hear you are experiencing some hair loss, though.
I believe that must have happened with me over the summer without me even realizing it because I am seeing all these little short hairs around my hairline!
Like a ring of very short bangs! I never even noticed it was happening. Funny how that happens. I am always so careful of getting enough protein. But it happened anyway.
Sigh! The woes of losing weight!!!!!!!
I am looking back at my weight chart now and it has been 6 MONTHS of me revolving around the same numbers!!!! HALF a flipping year!!!!!! Wow. You'd think something would have to give by now.
I was this same weight on the 7th of JUNE.
LARGE MAJOR SIGH HERE! Something has got to change.
Well, like I said previously, if I am doomed to do nothing more than stay at this weight for eternity, then that is what it will have to be. But I am still considered to be in the obese category, and I would really like to at least be considered OVERWIEGHT. That won't happen until I get under 200 lbs. 196.7, to be exact. So I have a good 20 lbs to lose before that happens. I refuse to go flipping RADICAL about it and starve/exercise myself to death trying to reach it quickly. I know that I can never sustain that type of behavior. I seem to be giving up so much just to be where I am today, and I have not much more to give. My supreme hope is that I can lose slowly as the years go by and perhaps reach that level doing as I am doing now. My carbs are very low. My calories are at the 1200-1300 range (which is considered very low and in the losing range!!!). My BMR is 1675 right now, so I MUST lose something, if you take the old calories-in/ calories-out theory in mind! You'd THINK! I just hope that maybe this week of lower cals will at least make a DENT in my progress!
And when I get my whole fibrous uterus thing fixed, perhaps that will help give me a boost, too.
(I will know more on Wednesday)
So on that note, I will say good night.
May you all have a good sleep, especially you, Crick.
Whooshie Wishes for all!
