Bouncing around

This last week has been crazy on the scale. After dropping down to 126.6 really quickly, which was was sooo happy about, the scale jumped back up again. I knew that it would but it was still disapointing. I've been at a high 128 for most of the week. I'm still kind of in a plateau, which is super frustrating. At least seeing 126 on the scale was a good motivator for me, now I know it's close and I can get down to it soon.

The most frustrating thing about this week is thatI totally binged last night. I ate till it hurt. The pain hit me kind of fast and it was really bad, I purged a little of it just to reduce the pain. I laid around the rest of the night because I felt so crappy afterwards.

This week I definitly need to stay on track, since I have a formal event during the weekend. I'm not getting too dolled up but I still want to look my best. I hope that it will keep my mind on track and give me the push I need to get past this plateau for good. I'm thinking about fasting at least one of the days, maybe the day before, although I don't usually do too well with fasts. I have a few goals this week.
1. Try some milk alternatives. I few of the blogs I read have been recommending it very
highly. I've got some in my fridge now and will try it this week, probably tomorrow.
2. Weight train. I always focus on cardio cardio cardio, I need to build some muscle and push
my body in a new way
3. Fast at least 1 day. enough said
4. Be vigilant about counting calories and being aware of everything I eat. I have felt myself
getting a little lazy about this and I need to keep my focus so I don't mindlessly away all
my progress.
5. Put the Peanut Butter where I can't reach it. I've been taking little tastes of PB when I'm
working on my computer or wacthing T.V. and it's really adding up. I always think, one
spoonful won't hurt, then bam I've had 4.


Hmm, it's wierd posting this in blogger land not knowing if anyone will ever read it. I have 2 followers which means that at least 2 people have stumbled onto my blog. either way I'm still gonna post it.

  1. haha - i feel the same thing about posting and people reading - it feels good to write, but also in a weird way, you want people to read what you write on here - just not certain people you know.
    i've been stuck too. i did see 129 on saturday, but i'm back up and it's depressing. you've got good goals written down. that's what i have in my head. i think i need to write them down and attempt to stick to mine. you can do it.
    i love getting cardio in - i'm a run/walk person on the treadmill -- but i also love my weight train class - i get such a rush from pushing my muscles - but knowing that muscles help burn the fat - that's nice too.

  2. hey, you could put a counter on your blog that shows you how many 'hits' you have.

    Also weight training is GREAT! it makes you lose inches like crazy!

    milk alternative, i've tried the brand SILK (soy milk) and i was really impressed with it.

  3. I love my unsweetened vanilla almond milk (40cals for 8oz) in my oatmeal or cereal.

    Also, the scale is sweet sweet Satan. Terrible.
