Weigh-in

So I haven't updated here for a while. I got sick on Wednesday and took Thursday off (didn't even get on my computer all day), and then the weekend happened. Oh well. My weight today was 195, down 3 pounds from last week. Looking over my weigh-ins, that's a new low. My previous low was 196.2.

I'm surprised. I haven't been watching what I eat and figured I'd be over 200 again with everything I've eaten. Instead, I get a new low.  :) I'm feeling better after being sick last week so I'm going to do this.

The overnight girl is sick. She doesn't have what I had. Mine was a mild cold. She has a fever and I didn't so she has something else - something I would rather not catch. Anyway, Brad will work 11 pm to 11 am, then I will come in at 11 am tomorrow and work until 11 pm. 12 hour shift. Yay. NOT. Oh well. I always need the money.

Weigh-in and weekend update

Ate too much last week and didn't stick to my liquid diet like I planned. My weigh-in today: 196.2, exactly the same as last week. Ug. However, given how much I ate, I'm just glad I didn't gain.

Went to Old Navy yesterday. The only jeans shorts they have are on the clearance rack because it's now fall, so I spent quite a bit of time hunting around for a pair of 14 shorts (to fit me now), and a pair of 12's as my next goal. I finally found two pairs and bought them and took them home - and the 14s are skin tight. WTF?!?!? I have size 14 jeans from the same store and they fit fine, as do my size 14 jean shorts that I bought previously. Looks like I will have to lose a bit more for them to fit. I have to wonder if they have the wrong tag in them because they are just as tight as the 12's. Grrrr...

Onederland!

Weighed in at 196.2 this morning! That officially puts me in Onederland! Woot! Woot! I was 202 last week so that's a loss of 5.8 pounds this past week!

Had to have dinner with sis and brother on Friday. I told them I was on a strict diet and just drank my protein shake. April was worried about me and gave me a bite of salad. She also put a tomato and cheese appetizer on my plate. I cut a bit off with my knife and ate one bite.

However, my calories were pretty high because I had wine before and after the dinner, and while there I had two gin and tonics. At least it was diet tonic. Oh, and I had one margarita, and that was regular, full sugar.  :-p

On Thursday I noticed my size 16 jeans were getting loose. They wouldn't stay on my waist and kept falling down to my hips and I had to keep hiking them back up. Friday I tried on a pair of 14s and they fit! {happy dance}

Saturday is my eating day and I ate too much, but I am back on the wagon today and back to my liquid diet. I kind of miss the Master Cleanse lemonade. I might buy more lemons and make some more. Drinking one 32 oz. bottle a day seems to help keep my blood sugar up, and it didn't taste half bad.

"Alcorexia"

So I'm going to get about 1500 calories today, with about 950 of that coming from alcohol. Damn, I suck. I could restrict and lose no problem except for the damn alcohol.

My sister is in town. She wanted to see me today, but it didn't work out. So now I have to see her Friday.

My weight this morning was 198.2. I know it's just water weight, but I love seeing a number below 200. Maybe next week on my official weigh-in day (Sunday), I'll break the barrier.

Oh...for anyone who cares, here's the scale I use:

Weekend update

Ate a lot the last two days. I always eat so much on my days off. I even ate popcorn at the movies and I wasn't even hungry! And it was a big bag, too! I asked for a "little" butter on it and they poured it on.  :-p

Sunday is my official weigh-in day. Weighed in at 202 even. That's not bad considering how much I've eaten the last two days. It used to be a binge like that would have me over 210 the next day. I'm now so close to Onederland!

Liquid fasting today with the Master Cleanse lemonade with plain protein powder added. Juiced the rest of the lemons and made four more servings for this week. Now I'm out of lemons and still have a lot of maple syrup left. Not sure what to do with it.

On Friday I went to Costco and bought protein shakes - a healthier way to liquid fast than the lemonade since it's low in sugar and high in protein.

7 days liquid fasting complete!

Somehow made it through Friday and Saturday without eating until the wee hours of Sunday morning when my 7 days of liquid fasting was up. I was feeling like shit and really needed to eat, so I broke my fast about 1 a.m. this morning and had pot stickers and lasagna left over from Saturday's potluck.

And yet, even after eating last night, I still came in under 200 this morning at 199 even.  :) I'm so stoked about that. Starving really works. Makes me want to fast more and encourages me to not binge.

I'm eating today - healthy stuff. Let's see if I can hold that weight after a whole day of eating instead of just one meal.

4 1/2 days

I made it 4 1/2 days. I finally gave in yesterday (I could tell my blood sugar was low) and ate and ate and ate. Gained 5 lbs. of water weight and came in at 204 today, which I'm okay with. That's still 6 pounds lower than when I started. I'm 200 lbs. I don't need food. I must stop eating and keep my stomach empty. Restarting liquid fasting today.
