Re: [Mindful i Mouse] January’s Month-end Weight and Reports

[Guest guest]

I totally understand about gains and how debilitating they can be to our dieting psyche.

In 2009, I ended with a net gain due to sheer laziness and in 2010 due to the injury and surgery, so 2011 is going to be spent playing catch up and then some for my program.

I was hoping originally to be at goal weight for DS18's graduation in May, but I know that is not happening LOL.

Good luck with home time.

[Mindful i Mouse] January’s Month-end Weight and Reports

Today will have to be my month-end wrap up.

I started the month just ending hometime, my weight shot up from 232 to 243.6 in December, my beginning weight in January was 242. I did have a few binges in December, plus being home nearly the whole month (pulled tooth) I just had a difficult time all around. My husband wasn't able to make it home for Christmas, I was stressed with pain and his delay had me eating more and drinking more than I needed. This weight gain was due to my own folly. What I did not expect was to see how difficult it was to lose the weight here in January AND get my BG's down on top of it. I have to say that this month has been the most difficult in terms of weight loss than any previous month. I believe that I am at a new level of weight loss, that my body has been fighting a loss for a long time.

Although there is a technical 7 pound loss for the month, I still did not manage to lose the full gain. I am very unhappy about that. Especially now that I will be on home-time starting this evening, and I just don't think I can tolerate another gain.

Weight graph from the start:

Here are my month's averages:

Here is my daily calories, but there is an error in the report as far as the calorie goal. I was on a 1200 goal, but recently changed it to 1100. So the excess calories show in red, while definitely over my target many days, it really only applies to the last 6 days:

So this is my January. I incorporated some mindful eating techniques. That went well, and I re-established my BG's back to a normal range through ketosis.

In those terms, I did well. But the calories have got to stay down. I talked to my daughter yesterday, the plan is for me to arrive in April and that means I will be off the truck for nearly a month ALONE and having to deal with that whole issue, which so far I have not done well with. Something has got to give though, I will never get this extra 75 pounds off the more I delay it with home-time treats. My plan is to stay 1100 calories and under for the next 4 days. When I get back on the truck, I will try to keep it under 1000 a while longer to get the weight to move. The hardest part of home time is to not have any brandy. So hard.....I am telling you....so hard!
