I suppose you've noticed that I haven't written much in this blog lately. I haven't been the best with the lifestyle over the last few weeks, and my body is yelling at me for it. I haven't weighed myself in a while, I imagine it won't be pretty the next time I do. But I haven't given up, I'm just doing as best I can with the nutty life I have right now. I'm travelling a lot and on duty a lot, so food and exercise just come when they can. It'll be OK though. I noticed today that the little pads of fat that have been living on my hips for the last few years are not there anymore! That's pretty fun. 09999999999999999998 That's Midnight saying hi. He likes to walk on the keyboard while I'm typing. So as I notice things I'll write, and I'll keep you posted when I start weighing in again!

April 13, 2008, part 2
So according to my new scales, I lost 5 pounds this evening. I'm taking it back.
I'm back to using my old faithful dial scale, which says I'm at 173. I'm going to the Health Center tomorrow morning to weigh. Once I get a good reading on how much I weigh now, I think I'm going to start the plunge again, from point 0.
I took my measurements again, and since Feb. 23, I've lost 1.5 inches from my waist, 2 from my chest, 3 from my stomach, and .5 from my hips. Yay!

Well, I'm questioning the reliability of my new scales. In a matter of three hours last night, I lost 2.5 pounds. But I think it's set now, after moving it and resetting it. So the number is 173.6, which is much better than last week. I'm not sure how much better, but it's over a pound. Maybe 2. So that;s good, because I wasn't good at all this week. I think the scale wasn't weighing right last week. And I still feel like crap. I need to get a job and get settled down again. Garh. But I'll keep trying to be good anyway!!

April 8, 2008
Oy. I've been bad. I bought a scales on Sunday (my happy birthday to me present) and found that it weighs the same as the one that I weighed in on for the Pound Plunge does, so we'll go back to that calibration. According to that scale, last week I weighed 172.4, so the 2.5 pound gain stayed.
Today I weighed myself in, and I weigh 175.8. That is a 3.4 pound gain. Yikes! So now I'm not past the 10 pound mark, which makes me mad. Which is good, because in past diet phases, it would have made me depressed and I'd just give up. But not now! I'm pissed at myself (besides the fact I feel like shit physically) and am determined to lose the weight I gained in the next three weeks. So I need to make sure I"m being good for the next three weeks, and then stay on the damn wagon! A few stumbles are OK, but this is an all out face fall, and that can't keep happening.
So on Saturday I ventured into the world of rice. I've not ever really had rice, because it feels like maggots in my mouth. I can do rice krispy treats, but rice krispies themselves even freak me out. But it's good for you, so I got this Lean Gourmet that was three cheese chicken on rice with broccoli bits. I hate broccoli, but I figured that since it was smothered in cheese and paired with chicken that it would be OK. I found that the rice didn't bother me too much. But I could definitely taste the broccoli. But then I started gagging as I ate. I don't know if it was the broccoli or the rice that did it. It could go either way, because I really hate broccoli, and other foods that are texturally weird for me make me gag, even though I like the taste (applesauce comes to mind). I've never figured that one out, but after I gagged at the dinner table at Grandma D's after taking a second tin of applesauce I decided I should probably not eat that anymore. At least not in public.

174.5, so yeah, I did gain, but I didn't gain all the weight I lost! I was really really not good during the conference. I wasn't good today either. And I feel like crap, and I'm depressed. Not depressed because I gained weight or have any other reason to be depressed. It's the chemical imbalance depression. Yeah, I can believe the drugs have stopped working, but it happened pretty darn quickly. I'm more inclined to believe it's the nonstop sugar, carbs and bad foods.
I'm discovering a lot about the power of food with this whole lifestyle movement. It makes me want to do more research and stuff on it. I'm probably not going to. But I sure am going to start eating better again. I don't really have much else to talk about in this blog...It's getting kind of boring here, huh?
