Today I feel puffy. For some reason, I am retaining water. Not really sure why. Guess it happens. The scale was up a smidge, my ring is tight, and I can feel it my legs. I'm puffy.
10/10
Calories: 1800
Exercise: None
I managed to do well at Bunko last night. I saved 410 calories for dessert and ate only that. It was doable, lucky for me, the munchies weren't my favorite. Today is water aerobics, so it should be a good day.
I had a weird dream last night. I went in for weight loss surgery and when it came time I just couldn't do it. I was so sad and crying because I felt like I had to explain to everyone that I just couldn't do it. It was a very helpless feeling.
The book - I think I am going to only post about days that I think are good. No need to waste time with stuff that is repetitive or silly. So if I skip days - that's why. Day 11 - Two purposes of food. 1. To fuel your body 2. To appreciate flavors. She says to look at food as fuel. Fill your tank in intervals, stop when it's full and use high quality fuel. She talks about eating frequent small meals. I am really starting to see this. My breakfast is usually 200 calories, my snacks ate about 100. But at lunch, I always have my sandwich with something. Grapes, an apple, baked chips...something. Lately I have been finding that I don't really need the something. I am just fine with the sandwich (about 380 calories). I'm sure the WW bread has something to do with it. So that usually leaves me with 900 calories for dinner & dessert. I usually end up at about 1800. So I eat the same about during the last 5 hours of the day as I do for the first 10 hours. This can't be good for me, but it seems to work. Is that bad??? I guess when I need to start cutting back calories (as the weight loss slows) I know where they can come from.

Sorry but I don't think you should just post about days that are good. The good, the bad, the ugly, we have to accept it as part of who and what we are. Nothing is silly or repetative, besides getting into the habit of exercising, counting calories etc may seem repetative but it's the only way you are going to break old habits. This is an old habit only wanting to post your successes and not your failures. One more thing, why do you weigh in everyday??? Honestly I think it is the worst thing to do because a little gain can take the wind right out of your sails no matter how well you know in your brain that you are doing.
Okay getting off my soapbox.

Jen - I think you misunderstood - I meant that I was not going to post about every day about the Book - 100 days of weight loss, not about me. You'll get to know how I am doing, good bad or otherwise.
I weigh every day because it makes me accountable. I like to see it going down, it keeps me motivated and it makes me more cautious when it doesn't go down. Makes me work a little harder. I like knowing and it doesn't mess with my head, so it's a good choice for me. :)
Hi hon, I'm sorry I'm so far behind! So first of all just let me say how unbelievably proud I am, not only for your tremendous weight loss this week, but also for your continued determination to stay on plan in spite of the obstacles thrown your way! Awesome job with the chicken and rice the other night, btw, now that's what I'm talkin' bout!! Bless his heart, that honey of yours certainly means well, doesn't he? :) I also wanted to comment on how impressed I am with the amount of exercise you've been getting in lately, knowing how much you adore the stuff! ;D Way to go girl!!
Yeah, I figured there would be some repetitiveness in the book, I mean 100 days, what could they possibly put in there that's different each day. It's your plan hon, you just go on and do whatever the hell you want to. Just so long as we get to go along for the ride! ;D And what a ride this is gonna be, woohoo!
BTW, I like how you stopped yourself the other day when thinking about only having to do this for 1 1/2 to 2 years. You're right, this is forever. Ups, downs, obstacles and triumphs included, it doesn't just end one day when you get to goal. Complacency is not an option, as I've so personally discovered lately. But together hon, we can do anything!!
Love ya!

Sandi: you have inspired me to go find the book you've been reading. I've read the other book by Linda Spangle and really loved it.
You're doing awesome!
Another good day, you're really racking them up!
What works for you is the route to go, even though I'm totally against weighing every day and just hope water retention, hormonal changes and the such don't get you down as much as the losses keep you up.
I love how you're approaching the "difficult" times so well. I'm talking dinners out, special occasions, Bunko, etc. I know they used to really throw you off, but you're in control and fitting things into the plan. Way to go and keep it up! xox
