Well it's not the changing that has stalled. I'm still adhering to my nutrition goals with less and less cheats every week. But....the weight has stalled. Craptastic! This sucks! I was down to 141 lbs. and super excited last Friday. I was so close to breaking out the 140's! And then Sunday night JD said let's get some wings. And BOOM! Back to 143. And that is where I have stayed all week. Not one ounce of loss. PISS ME OFF!!! But here's the big thing. I have pinched a nerve in my back. So I have been living on Ad.vil and Ro.bax and I've only run 2x this week. Both were pathetic runs too.
:(
But I'm going to keep trudging on. My body fat has gone down. But I'm bloated, retaining water (advil) and I'm a little backed up...uncomfortable... I've been having stomach pains all week as well. I feel like such a write off. I've got too many things working against me right now. But it's not going to defer me from continuing on. It's not about the scale, its about how I live and feel. And I have goals for this month that I think are going to help me achieve my good health and maybe just maybe start getting my scale moving.
#1. Get my thyroid panel run...
Very important. I haven't had it run since I had Lucy. So I am still on the dose I was at 170 lbs. I'm sure that needs to be adjusted. Plus I've adjusted how I've been taking it in the last 2 weeks and I think the change is actually hurting me not helping me. So I will go back to taking it only a 1/2 hour before eating rather than 4 hours.
#2. Get to my GI appointment.
Yes I have an appointment booked with a GI to discuss getting a colonoscopy done. Yes I am young for this. But we have a family history of bowel cancer. And bowel diseases. So this is preventative. Plus I have had nothing but poop problems for 4 years now, so I do think it is time to get some assistance and maybe some helpful ideas.
#3. Dream Board
I know this sounds wonky. But I'm doing it. Since I now have a treadmill in my basement, I now run staring at unfinished walls and ceilings. Instead I am going to make a couple of inspirational posters and a dream board of my goals that will be in my line of sight. I'm hoping this will make the first 16 minutes of every run much more enjoyable. I tend to struggle for the first 16-20 minutes of every run. But after that the runner's high kicks in and I love it!
So here's my recap....
Starting weight : 153 lbs. (January 2)
Current weight : 143 lbs. (March 9)
Not the greatest or fastest. But again I'm not dieting I'm changing my lifestyle. And 10 pounds is still 10 pounds. Still I will admit I'm disappointed. I'm working so dang hard. I think I should be seeing more loss. Oh well there is no other option but to continue on. That's all for today folks. Foodie Post coming soon!
Much Love!

DUDE, 10# in 9.5 weeks is amazing. The trainer I used to work with said that any loss about .5-1.0# per week is REALLY hard to maintain because it's not actually about a lifestyle change. I think you're doing amazingly well! I know you're frustrated about it not falling off faster, but 10# down is a heck of a lot better than 10# up or even the same!
I know you're working with a nutritionist, but are you sure you're eating enough calories? There's such a fine line, and if I dip too low, it actually stalls my weight loss. Maybe try upping your cals by 300/day for a week and see what happens?
I do think that is the problem Josey! I seem to be short every day. Lack of time and energy is killing me! I always fall short on either a veg or a fruit. This week I am going to make a concentrated effort to eat everything!
Thank you for the encouragement I truly appreciate it!
Keep going! I have thyroid issues too! Your #1, 2 and 3 are great. www.mommy-dreaming.blogspot.com
Still sounds awesome to me. I'm sure it is annoying when you know how much effort is going in though. I hope a little tweaking and checking on things will help you get where you want to though. Best wishes.
