Chicago

So this weekend I was in Chicago. I got Chipotle in Omaha, I had deep dish pizza... not great for you, but I kept my points VERY well and with all the walking (we figured it up and Friday-Monday we walked over 30 miles), I ended up using only 1/2 of my flex points for the week. I went Tuesday to my meeting with high hopes, but ended up gaining 2 lbs. I was VERY frustrated. I'm not sure what to do about it, either. I do things wrong and I loose, I do them well and I gain. It's hard to know where to go.

So I don't have any goals this week. I'm going to track things and hope that I can find a pattern, but I'm almost to the point that I'm going to go back to the doctor and see what is going on. I just don't know what else to do. I want to be healthy, but it's really hard on my body to exercise when I'm this overweight. I can't figure out how to loose it, either, so I think it may be time for medical intervention.... I'll keep you posted.

Ucky.

This week has been JUST awful.

I honestly don't know what happened. I mean, I guess I knew I was kind of in for it this week, because I had a friend from out of town coming to visit AND it was Halloween.... but man alive. I didn't plan-- at all-- for my visit with Jenny and ended up dipping into flex points.... and then the rest of the week I just couldn't get my stride back. Part of it, I know, was just poor planning, and part of it was that this week I just seemed to be so HUNGRY. This week was also more stressful than usual, as my classes are winding down for the quarter so I have lots of projects, etc, due in the next few days. Then yesterday I went to a conference where all the food was provided.... and you know, when it's right there in front of you, it's really hard to turn down (halloween candy, I'm looking at you....)

My TOM is approaching, and that always makes me hungry, and retain water. So I am prepared to show a gain this week. Hopefully I can get my motivation back for the next week... I am still really hoping to be at 200 lbs by the end of January.
