Today's weight - 237.8
Boo
But not unexpected. I have strong suspicions that my thyroid is off. Plus, let's be honest, I haven't been good at all about my eating.
All I can do it get back at it. And get my thyroid checked.

Let's Talk Numbers
July 21, 2015
Weight 231.2
Yep, that's a gain. I do not like it, but I am also not surprised. Not because I was eating horrible and not exercising (Minus one planned day of indulging, I was actually really low in terms of food intake. Hmmm, maybe that played a role.), but because of numbers.
My body has what I call "set points", which are weights that my body likes to be at. It is pretty easy to lose (or gain) my way to these points, but I get stuck there. I hit a plateau.
230 lbs is the first of those set points. It is frustrating. I work hard, but I gain for no reason. I give up, eat like crap and lose a bit. It takes time and patience to get through this. Once I hit 215 - 220, I will be in smooth sailing until about 200 lbs, but it is going to take some time to past the 230 number.
Patience.
Focus.
Determination.
(and maybe a little research to see if there is something I can do to help)

Weight -230.4Waist - 42.5
Hips -52.5
Thighs - 28.5
Upper Arms - 16
Bust - 43
I have lost at least an inch all over (and 7.4 lbs) since I last measured. Pretty good. :)
Feeling pretty good about being focused and determined.
All in all, feeling pretty good.
For the fun of it, here's a time comparison I am not convinced I see a huge change, but I feel it.

Focus, Strength, Determination
Weight - 235.4
About 3 lbs of that is a scale adjustment. (I finally got smart and put the scale back on the tile floor.)
The rest is just me being lazy.
Last night at yoga, I made it the focus of my practice to refocus, stay strong, and stay determined. In that spirit, I packed a huge salad for lunch. :)
As a reminder to myself, here are my rules:
1. One simple carb per day.
2. Fruit is good, but not your best friend.
3. Veggies, veggies and more veggies
4. One protein based snack a day
5. No caffeine
6. No calcium rich foods before noon

PMS is catching up with me. :)
I do think it is time for more pictures and measurements. I feel good. I feel strong. I feel leaner.

Weight - 229.4
Or something like that. I know I need to move the scale onto a hard surface, but I don't have a good place right now.
I ate HORRIBLE this week. Maybe I needed a break. Maybe I just need to get myself back under control. Who knows.
I do know that I opted to not have the ice cream after yoga last night.
Small Victories.
I'll take them.

It has been a while...
I got VERY busy with work and I just haven't had time to commit to this. I don't mind, things are trucking along (other than that one week, but they happen) and I am down 15 lbs! I went shopping this weekend and was down a pants size. Woot!
I will probably continue to post sporadically until I feel like I need additional support or motivation. Right now, I am feeling great, moving forward and in a good place.
I am sure I will be back. :D
