Weight loss and exercise #2

I was 149.6 this morning. I went out to lunch and had a few regular cokes. So I’ll probably be at 150 or 151 tomorrow.

With yesterday's additional stupidity, I have taken it to the limit - 159! 160 is my scream weight - my maintenance range is the 150s. I know a lot is water and if I go crazy light today and hit the gym, I will be ~157 tomorrow. I do feel a bit more panic and believe more strongly in reversing the trend. One of the excuses that fueled my stupidity is that I am still in my maintenance range and I am allowed to run it up into the upper half every now and then. I do not have that excuse now; another bad day could make 160+ show. I have a 10 pound range because I don't even allow spikes to get out of range.

I am eating what I want within reason until my birthday is over next Saturday,but not eating enough to gain too much weight I hope.

Crazy, crazy swings. Yesterday I only ate about 900 calories and did 90 minutes of cardio without logging it. I was committed to making sure the 159 I saw on the scale yesterday morning didn't rollover to 160. It didn't. I was 155 this morning. I knew the rise over the last few days was too quick to be be a true body mass gain. Mostly water. Not long ago, after a light day of eating with a lot of cardio done late I was 152, so there has been a recent gain from over eating.

EDIT:
I didn't have sweets at all yesterday and haven't today and so far looking like I will stick to low (but not aiming ultra low) calories. Sweets seem to be my kryptonite lately. I can't seem to stop at just one or two. I used to have more control. I need to get it back. Trying to avoid them won't work long term.

I was 149 on Friday. Yesterday I was 151. Today I was 153. Although yesterday I didn’t think I did that bad. Defiantly not bad enough to gain 2 pounds. I really need to get back on track though. That’s an 8 pound gain since the start of February. I bought some some Slim Fast, some Pure Protein, and some Muscle Milk shakes from the grocery store. I’m also going to stop my topamax for a couple weeks and then start it again. I think I might have become immune to it and it’s not working as well as it used to. I’m hoping stoping and starting it will work.

The first thing my mom said to me when I came downstairs this morning was “you look so skinny.” She hasn’t said that to me all year.

Go figure.

Naughty me,I ate toffee popcorn,as well as packing in the calories they are sugar laden so that means weight gain and high sugar,my sugar is 24.9mmol/L,or 448,that is so very bad.Gotta get back on track tomorrow.

I browsed back a couple of pages and it was Feb 22 when I got a weight of 152, 2 days after a spike to 157. This time it was one day dropping from 159 to 155. This is why I am a fan of frequent weighing and not getting too freaked out by extremes. Yesterday I was 7 pounds heavier than I was on Feb 22. Today I am 2 pounds lighter than I was on Feb 20. From looking at the ranges and the more common readings I got in between, I think I have gained ~2 pounds.

I think I figured out why the scale bounced so high today. I had corn beef and cabbage last night for dinner. I vaguely recall a decent size spike in the scale last year after my yearly corned beef dinner. My mom said her weight went up too.

Today I had about 1200 calories. I had a Pure Protein shake. Are those meant for weight loss? because it just made me really hungry. I had a slim fast later which was better for my hunger. I agree with the weighing frequently. I think I’ve put on about 3 or 4 pounds of actual weight.

156. A pound up even though I only ate ~1500 calories because I am not as dehydrated this morning.

I don’t have access to the scale until Wednesday morning. So far my hunger hasn’t been bad at all without the topamax. I didn’t get the ravenous I need fast food type of hunger I usually get after I work early. I’m hoping to finally make it to 135 pounds.

I gained a little this last week. I haven't been eating as well. Less vegetables and more sodium. I've just been tired and opening cans of soup. I see my GP next week. I want to try to do better starting today. I plan to make a nice salad.

I had a fried breakfast today and I ate a bar of Snickers chocolate.Not good.

I feel like I look like I weigh 160 pounds. But the jeans I’ve had for over a year and my hoodie are really big on me. So I can’t have gained much of anything. I’ll be able to weigh myself tomorrow. Today I had around 1200 calories.

I keep bouncing between good days and bad but staying near the middle of my range, the 150s. 157.

I was 149.8 today. So the 153 on Sunday was probably right. I gain like crazy so I have to keep track of it carefully. A doctor even told me one time I can gain alot in a short amount of time but then I can lose it very fast.

Got back on the diet,I ate 1,294 calories today and won't be eating anymore today.

I had just under 1200 calories today. I had a medium cheese fry from Sonic, a Dairy Queen ice cream cone, a 220 calorie TV dinner, some flavor shot Doritos, and a 230 calorie Lean Cuisine. It wasn’t totally healthy but I burned off more than I ate and I don’t feel deprived or anything.

I keep bouncing between pigging out and penance. I went nuts again yesterday after starting the day at 157. This morning I did over 90 minutes of cardio and have eaten only 710 calories with lunch already finished. I plan to stay under 1500 today and not log the exercise, so I will likely be close to break even between the two days (yesterday and today) and weigh about 157 again tomorrow, maybe less because of lower water retention after light eating days.

I was 149.4 today. Which frustrated me. I thought I did really good yesterday but maybe what I ate had more then 1200 calories.

Lost it today,had a normal day's diet food of 800 calories then ended up at the pub,had burger 584 calories,chips 597 calories onion rings 348 calories,chocolate brownie and ice creme with chocolate sauce,I don't know how may calories that is must be about 1200 on it's own,then I went to the coffee shop and had a flat white coffee and apple juice and a shortbread biscuit,large.So I have definitely had at least 3000 calories today.NOT GOOD!
Get back on the program tomorrow definitely without doubt,I have let myself down.

I was 150 today. Which isn’t bad I mostly just ate a meal at Chili’s yesterday and that was it for my calories for the day.

Rounded up to 158 and being stupid today.

The diet has been ruined again today!I ate fish and chips and a bar of chocolate.I am so disappointed.I must get back on the program soon.

I thought I was going to mess up today. But I talked myself out of it. Plus I wasn’t feeling good today. But I had a small iced coffee at 140 calories. Then a TV dinner at 400 calories. I thought I messed up because I had some chips and salsa. But I don’t think I had a ton of it. But I have no idea on the calories. Then I had a chocolate Silk soy milk at 140 calories. The chips and salsa was when I thought I’d mess up. But I ended up just having a can of soup for dinner at 150 calories.

So adding up what I know for sure equals to 850 calories. That will leave 370 calories for the chips and salsa. Which may very well be correct. So I possibly did stick to my 1200 calories goal.

I lost the extra weight after adding whole wheat back into my diet along with more fruits and vegetables. I also tried to drink more fluids and reduce sodium. I'm not counting calories. I'm just eating based on what a diabetic needs to eat to keep blood glucose low. That's how I lost 30 pounds.
