Got another run in last night.  Was much better, though still not back to normal.  I'm thinking it was the altitude and maybe even some attitude adjustment.  I also got on the scale while waiting for my wife to finish her workout.  203.2  (down from 205.4 Tuesday).   And that was after a donut binge (I don't  know why my wife brought home a dozen donuts for three of us).  Maybe I'll make my goal after all.  Just over 3.2 to go with 9 days left.

pdbman:  Doughnuts are cheaper by the dozen so we buy a dozen.  What I haven't figured out is why I think that I have to eat them.  If someone brings doughnuts into my house or cookies or ?? I feel like it is my obligation to eat as much as I can.  I personally will VERY SELDOM but junk food,  but if you bring it into my house AND it is open you had better keep your hands out of the way.  That is my other little quirk,  I won't open the junk food,  but once it is open look out.  Since my wife thinks I am too skinny (WTF?) she insures that there is cookies in the house ALL the time.

I weighed myself yesterday on my home scale (the new one) and was 141.9.  Now, if I only believed that I really had that much weight loss (down 2.5 pounds) since Wednesday, I would be ecstatic and dancing in the streets.

134.2 for me this week, think that's down a bit probably because I've been doing more training now the school holidays are over.  I too, really want to get into those 120s.  I've missed my goal for July which was 132 but down 1.6 on the month.  After weeks of rain, we've finally got some sun and blue skies so went for a longish run yesterday.  Was beautiful running across the top of the escarpment overlooking the river.  The hill is still looking very sad after some moron decided to torch it during the summer but come spring it'll burst into life again.

Weigh-in day again, and again I am posting 278lbs. I can't seem to bust through this plateau. I have taken some time off work and I am spending my days training so I am expecting some good numbers next week - or else!!

Last Week: 278lbs

This Week: 278lbs

Difference: 0lbs (Sigh)

I know! I know! I know! We eat all that people bring into the house (cookies, doughnuts etc) because we're nice people and we don't want to hurt their feelings! Like, imagine you visit somebody, bring cookies and your host only eats one- how do you feel then? Obviously upset and you keep beating yourself up that you bought the wrong cookies. That's why we eat as much as we can. Similar rule applies to not being interested if food is not open- we're simply polite.

Well, that's what I think anyway...

And just a quick upadate

Got some more results back- no lupus or arthritis and also I don't seem to have a tendency to clotting but they said this might be influenced by warfarin (coumadin) so I won't really know until a month after my planned treatment is over. Also my INR is all over the shop- from 4,3 to 2,2. I have a feeling they don't really know what level they want me to be at. Got an appointment to see my consultant who was looking after me during my hospitla stay (for the 11/08) but it's just in OPD so all we're gonna do is chat ????!!!!

Other than that I haven't done anything in terms of training in over 3 weeks (now that includes hospital stay of 1,5 weeks). I went for a walk maybe 3 times since I got out but that's it. However I'm scoring perfect 10s in the "stuff your face" competition. I eat everything and in outrageous quantities. Well for the first week or so I thought I'm just reacting to the ever delicious hospital diet but at this point in time it's totally out of control. I was trying to get up early today to go to the gym and do some treadmill walk and then some sit-ups (my muffin top belly is back!) but I just couldn't. I keep hoping I'll go for a walk around my neighbourhood this afternoon but TBH chances are very VERY slim. Don't even have the guts to get on the scales.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Hate myself like that! I'm literally sittng back and watching myself putting on weight.

July 8-205
July 15-203.4
July 22 202.4
July 29 199.4 WOOHOO!!!!!!

Well, I survived my mini vacation of pure gluttony and actually managed to lose weight somehow.....finally below 200lbs again. It has been a few years I would say. It feels good, but it feels even better knowing that I have found something I love to do that also helps me lose weight, and that....I have really only just begun! My first tri is not even until the end of November, and I am already planning the next one after that...St. Anthony's in Tampa if anyone is interested.

Obviously it is also great to have lost well over 4 inches from my waist in just about 2 months.

Jo
You're going through a difficult and stressful time.  Don't be too hard on yourself.  I went through a similar thing when I had some medical issues.  The hardest part is just not knowing.  When they figured out what it was and was able to treat it, things got a lot easier.  Be patient.  Family and friends can be a great support,  You may want to ask the hospital if there is a support group that you can go to for extra help.  Just sharing what you're going through can help and when you know that you're not alone and others have also gone through it and are ok it helps even more.  And God is always there for you too.  He will comfort you and give you strength if you ask.

Weigh in:
This week  135
Last week  135.4
 
Basically I've stayed the same for the last 3 weeks with minor fluctuations. Better than gaining, and I do feel like my nutrition is back on track so hopefully the scale will start showing it soon.

Woo-hoo!  Not eating delicious ghee-filled curry for 4 days in a row seems to have paid off, and I'm down to a solid 148.  New goal is 140... let's see how long it takes for me to get there

Jo -- I'm so sorry that you're having so many problems right now.  You're in my thoughts and prayers.

gratz to the losers

start = 281.6
Week 1 = 277.4
week 2 = 275.4
week 3 = 275.0
week 4 = 275

Injuries meant no exercise for the last 2 weeks so it looks like exercise is the only way I lose weight.

I feel so much for you.  But you have the first step taken - knowing what is going on.  If it would help, I would be willing to be an email buddy with you so that you don't undo all of your gains.  I know how that feels and want it never to happen to me again and I know you don't want it for yourself.  Send me a PM and I will be happy to help in the ever-so-limited way that I can.

Down 0.6 to 143.8.  I was hoping for 6.0 pounds, but got 0.6 instead.  I will take it.  Finally broke throught 144 barrier where I have been for a while.

A day late for official weigh-in... I was away from home yesterday.

This week's weight: 151. My goal for the month was 153 - so -- YAY!! ALMOST sub-Athena! Ultimate goal is 140-ish. August is gonna be tough with a total of almost 3 weeks of vacation.... I think I will be happy if I can just manage to stay where I am for the month.
