Wow, what a difference of week can make. I realize that I can easily gain pounds by going out to eat...I know most of it is water seeing that my dining out only happened yesterday and Friday, but that is crazy.
Well, I'm starting anew. I'm restarting by removing my previous weigh-ins. I have a separate excel chart that I will continue to track from my real beginning wieght (336lbs).
I realize that the Spike lifestyle is not for me, sorry Russ. My relationship with food hasn't mended enough for me to do that...possibly if I hit a plateau, I might re-visit it. The truth is, I lost 47lbs without plateauing with what I was doing before. I ate 1200-1500 calories with cardio and light weights 4 days a week. The only difference from then and now is that I will bump it up to at least 1500 with cardio and heavy weights 4 days a week. My focus will be more on changing my body composition rather than weight loss. Weight loss will certainly be a side effect, but not the ultimate goal: I want to wear a size 12 by my 29th birthday next October. I honestly don't care what weight I need to be to accomplish that, I just know I would look good. :-)
Also, I seemed to forget that I am a diabetic. My weight got me this diagnosis and my hard work this year brought me to normal blood sugar levels. This was the most exciting part of the 47lbs I lost earlier this year. I brought my sugar down and was taken off 3 out of the 4 meds I was taking. Now, I know I was wrong, but the last time I checked my blood sugar was in June when I was @ 289lb and it was 98 mg/dl...within normal range, I was stoked. I checked it this morning: 193 mg/dl. Not good, not good at all. Although it is a far cry from 374 mg/dl...that was my reading before I started eating better and exercising. This was due to my non-compliance, I wasn't taking my meds...I was, slowly killing myself in a sense. I didn't like who I was and it showed. That Melissa and this Melissa that is typing right now are two DIFFERENT people. I love who I am and know that I have people that love me too and I want to be around to enjoy this earth God created and enjoy my friends and family as well.
So, along with my weekly weigh-ins and monthly measurements I will be accountable to you, my FS buddies, about my blood sugar (BS) on a weekly basis.
