Still above 200lbs. I feel so down about this. It feels like all this hard work I've been doing and continue to do is just worthless. I tried so hard to get under 200 SOOO HARD! It took like two weeks to break my plateau and now this. It's taking everything in me to not eat everything in sight. I did go over my calories yesterday but I think I over shot when I logged it. Better to log over than under.
Last night my roomie and I went to this new Westcoasty restaurant called Surf Shack and it was taco thursday. I had a puleld pork, pulled chicken and fillet mignon taco. But instead of the tortilla I had them lettuce wrapped. YUMMY! and then we shared a little pineapple upsidedown cake. we each had a couple little bites and left the rest. It was sooo good. So I didn't eat horrible but it might have had a little too much salt. GRRRRRRR! I had to sit there andd watch her eat her fried fish and shrimp tacos w flour tortilla wraps and be frustrated. Not bc hers were fried and wrapped in bread. That didn't bother me so much bc I guarantee you mine were a lot more tasty. It was the fact that she is so skinny (116lbs) and she can just eat whatever she wants and not gain a pound. She actually has to TRY if she wants to gain weight. And I'm sitting there w my lettuce wraps giving myself a hard time bc I know I am eating too much.
I felt so bad, I ended up going to the gym at 10pm last night and got in a 40min workout. Not a full workout but it was good. I've been teetering around 200lbs all week and I just cannot get my mind off of it. What can I do to stop this? What am I doing wrong? I try to look at my calorie intake and I think (especially on days I go over) I was eating around the same maybe a little more than this last month! What gives? Once I get back from my vacation, I'm going at it hardcore again. I can't deal with this. And I'm not going to cheat to an extreme either and I WILL workout bc I can't deal with the scale going up anymore than it already has. I've just had it. Ugh!
On a lighter note though, I'm going on vacation! Yay! I'll be gone for nine days. Much needed. I am not liking work at the moment and I just need a break. I get to see the bf. I can't wait to spend some good quality time with him. So there it is. Things to look forward to this week in a BIG way :) It just had to be a bad week before I left so I can appreciate my vaca even more :)

So I will try to give you some advise but I am not a nutrition specialist by any means.. Weight loss is math, Burn more than you take in.. 3500 calories is about 1 lb so if you burn 500 calories more than you take in per day you should lose about 1 lb per week, 1000 calories less than you burn = 2 lbs per week and so one. I don't really believe the calories burned is accurate so I subtract 500 from that for good measure. I am willing to bet that if you could hold your daily calories at about 1200 you would start to see progress in the first week. keep an eye on your daily diet calendar and try to keep your fat intake down and your protein up. Every pound of muscle burns more fat so feed your muscles. The first thing you need to remember is that the fact that you are doing something means you are already on your way and once you start to see results it is almost like a high.... Enjoy your vacation.
