Pigged out today with homecooked food, that's why I backtrack on the scale every week. Took my GOLO pills though, and they seem to be working. I think I might have had 1600 calories today, no exercise. Scared of the scale tomorrow morning.

I went to a free trial rowing class at ROWHOUSE. I learned a lot but did not like it well enough to justify the drive and extra money, even at the discounted rate through my health insurance.

I got a bit chewed out about my weight by my doctor. But he was also kinda confused where it came from. So he is ordering some kind of test where I swallow a pill at 11PM and go to the lab at 8AM to get bloodwork. He says I need to be doing both cardio and weight lifting. He suggested I join a gym but I have an at home one and my VR thing. I don't think I'd do good at an actual gym.
I started a daily vitamin. My doctor told me to start one. Not sure if it will do much with my weight but it may help overall with my health so I have more energy to work out. I haven't eaten yet today. I had a sugar free blue raspberry sparkling water with whipped cream and a blue coconut vanilla diet Dr. Pepper but no food yet. So I'm at like 200 calories. Lol. __________________ I'm Blue |

Did really well today. I've lost a whole 11 pounds since late February, which isn't too bad! I am on the right track. Didn't do much exercise, but I did 969 calories for the day according to MyFitnessPal app.

The scale moved down this morning but I do not know if it is for real.
I went to an all treadmill class at Orangetheory fitness this evening, getting 12 splat points. 6 blue minutes 27 green minutes 12 orange minutes 128 avg hr 150 max hr Feeling really good after the class. I was at the steady pace of 3 mph and changed the intensity by changing the incline. Afterwards we did some really cool stretches. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

My weight was pretty low today. The lowest its been in 10 days. Of course I couldn't keep anything down yesterday and I didn't eat much in general.
I think I'm just going to use my VR headset as soon as my mom wakes up instead of putting it off until the afternoon. I feel ok now so its probably a good time to use it. __________________ I'm Blue |

Today I did 20 minutes on the VR, drank a Slim Fast, then I was sick all night. But I've eaten today I'm just not sure how many calories I burned and how many calories I threw up.

Over an hour of low intensity cardio with resistance added today. Half of it I did while wearing a 20 lb weighted vest. Yes!
I cannot wait to unwind with restorative yoga tomorrow evening. I have skipped several weeks and really miss that class. Miss the teacher, too. She is wonderful. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Gabapentin 1200 mg+Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications, some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity BMI ~ 38 |

I drank a Slim Fast this morning and a bottle of Pedialyte but I'm still sick so I'm not in the mood to eat much. I ate a sundae from Sonic so currently I'm at 1000 calories, 131 carbs, and 28 grams of protein. Minus whatever I just threw up.
I am also back on a med again which can lower my appetite. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; Apr 10, 2024 at 02:28 PM.. |

I'm down another pants size so down from size 22W to 18W. My next move will be out of plus sized clothes.
I also am down a shirt size in the tshirts I usually wear in the summer. Again, one more size down and out of plus size. The exercise is working. The diet helps but the exercise is the biggest help. I have to come up with the energy to do some exercise today. I'm tired; yesterday was a pretty big day. Still so close to breaking 200 lbs but just not quite there yet....... __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

That is literally what everyone tells me. I won't lose without exercise. Diet alone doesn't work. I need to try harder.

I know exercise is the main factor in losing weight, I have to get myself down to the gym more often or do more at home. The dieting is helping though because I am down 11 pounds. I had went from a size 16 to an 18, but I want to get myself back down to 16 before I feel real victory. My thyroid surgery really messed me up when I thought it would help.
