Weigh-in #7 - 2014

I gained 2lbs this week.

In the last 2 weeks I've gained 4lbs.

That means I've only lost 1.75lbs since the start of the year.

Awful.

I did eat a lot last week, so I think I deserve the weight gain.

I definitely stress ate before my operation so there's that...

Now it's done I can focus more. Bring back the healthy food.

Weigh-in #6 - 2014

Gain this week: 2lbs

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Blah.

Bad times, I suck.

Gotta keep on going, though.

Weigh-in #5 - 2014

Loss this week: 2lbs

Pretty happy with this, although I'm convinced it's muscle that I've lost from being in bed for most of the week.

Weight lost 2014: 5.75 lbs
Loss from HW: 30.75 lbs
Inches lost 2014: 3.5

Not bad, not bad. It's progress in the right direction at least.

Need to step up the diet in February and step up the exercise once my wrist is semi-recovered. Spinning is gonna become my friend again, I think.

Weigh-in #4 - 2014

This week I stayed the same. 

Cool. 

Not terrible, but not excellent. Obviously I need to up my game and pay more attention to Le diet. 

Life learning is haaaaard.

Weigh-in #3 - 2014

Loss this week: 2.5lbs

Yay!

Very happy with this, although I'm concerned that I might be slightly dehydrated from last night and that is skewing the results.

Oh well.

Seeing the word 'lost' so much looks funny. As in, weight 'lost' makes me think of something you want to find.

It should definitely be something like "weight disposed of" instead.

Tired ramblings...

Weigh in #2 - 2014

Loss: 1.25 lbs

Wooo, win!

Sucks that it isn't more, but slow and steady wins the race, I guess.

Looking forward to next week!

Loss since 2014 start: 1.25 lbs
Loss from HW: 26.25 lbs

Weigh-in #1 - 2014

Soooooooo I gained....

4LBS!

Since I last weighed myself on 30th November.

Not too terrible, but not great either.


Loss from HW: 25 lbs
Gain from LW: 39 lbs (ouch!!)

We all took our weight and measurements this morning too. We'll be weighing in weekly and taking measurements every two weeks. At least we have a starting point...

My mum & grandma went out for a 25 minute walk this morning, which I'm so pleased about! If they keep up consistency with walking then they will definitely be ready to walk a 5k in a few months. I will be unspeakably proud if they achieve that!

Went grocery shopping today and I have to say that my trolley looked awe-to the-some. Healthy food looks so pretty!

Still really excited about the coming year, I hope it doesn't fade out!

Saturday weigh-in 23.11.13

Not great by any means, but still a loss. Yay.

So tired today. Merlin is chilling on my bed right now, I think he's tired too.

Saturday weigh-in 16.11.13

Loss this week: 2.5 lbs
Gain from LW: 33.5 lbs

It's been just over 3 weeks since I revived my blog and posted about weight. In that time, I've lost 2.5lbs. Truth be told, it's been this week that's really done it, especially since the last few weekends were alcohol based.

I haven't taken my inches, but I probably should. Maybe next week. I'm on my bed now and therefore too lazy to go downstairs to get the tape. I'm also naked and too lazy to get dressed. Whatever, it's the weekend.

At least the scale is moving down after not changing for so long. Onwards and downwards!

Blog resurrection!

So, it's been just over two years since I had my short stint of blogging. A lot of things have changed since August 2011, so I'll give you a brief overview of the last two years:

• Wedding happened. I looked amazing, not gonna lie. It was awesome.
• Divorce is in progress. Unfortunately, some people turn out to be epic douchebags. Strong enough to walk away from a bad marriage? This is awesome.
• I have more friends than I had this time 2 years ago, this is awesome.
• I'm fitter than I was this time 2 years ago, this is awesome.
• I'm fatter than I was this time 2 years ago, this isn't awesome.

I actually really enjoyed reading over my old posts, so I'm going to keep them. I had a good few giggles over them. This time, we're (well, I... not 'we') going to be sensible and not do a crazy 500 calorie per day shake diet that you're destined to fail at (hello unsustainable lifestyle choices). Yeah, sometimes I don't have the brightest ideas. Shut your face hole.

The goal is to get fitter, healthier and stronger. Gain muscle, lose fat. Eat good food, limit food that is not-so-good (take it seriously, Ani, limit means limit) and exercise.

Simple, yes? Simple if you don't love food like it was your goddamn first born child and your natural activity level is about that of a sloth.

Maybe that was an exaggeration*.

Some stats (obviously not posting my actual weight on here because I'm not down with that. I mean, duh I'm fat. If you look at me, it's not hard to miss. Just something about the numbers. I know it's stupid, whatevs).

Weight
Loss from HW: 28lbs
Gain from LW: 36lbs (ouch)

Inches from biggest measurement
Waist: -7
Bust: -7
Under bust: -4
Hips: 0 (thanks, hips...)
Total:  -18 inches
(I forgot my thigh and arm measurements)

There are a few things I attribute the weight gain to:

• Not putting 100% into eating well
• Not moving enough
• Health issues

Two are my own fault, one isn't. The health issues kind of definitely contributed to the lack of movement and poor food choices (oh hey meds that make you the hungriest ever for high-sugar carbs and slow down your metabolism). Ext-to-the-reme weight gain was pretty much expected by my doctor due to the medication side effects. It's sort of an excuse, but still not really good enough.

Anyway, weight gain happens; such is life. Let's deal with it and move forward.

*it wasn't.
