Curves Update #2

I bet it's good for me.

Curves Update

*ow*

Every six months or so ...

I drop in here.

Sorry to be inundating you like this.

Joined Curves last week, and even, you know, went and Did Workout Things yesterday.

Am not dead yet.

Go me.

Seriously the slowest weight loss in history

HOWEVER.

I am STILL within 5 lbs of where I was when I stopped the rapid weight loss of a few years ago, so I am choosing not to hate myself.

Also tomorrow I am going to do better. Maybe even today I will eat copious quantities of fresh veggies because I do so love the veggies.

"God bless God. Sometimes He just knows what He's doing."

(No, I don’t remember where that quote is from, but it stuck with me.)

 

So …weight loss, you say?

 

You may remember that I lost somewhere between 20 and 30 lbs almost a year ago, and then lost nothing for months on end.  I bet some of you even wondered how much of it I’d gained back in the interim.

 

The answer to that is – none, as far as I can tell, until Christmas.  I gained 5-ish lbs over Christmas, I think.  One Sunday, about a week ago (maybe a bit more) I woke up and said to myself “Right, then.  This is the day.  You know what to do – you know how many protein and how many vegetables and you know what worked for you.  Do it.”

 

And I did.  Monday at work I walked past the smorgasbord of goodies without even caring.  All week it went like that – one day I had a kiwi-filled chocolate just to see what they tasted like (ick) and another day I had another sort of candy thing – but both times it was a matter of choice, not a lack of self-control.  Amazing.  By Friday the Christmas gain was gone …

 

Several times that week I almost posted here, thanking whoever it was that was praying for me, because that’s the only explanation I had – and late last week, came the e-mail:

 

“You’ve been on my mind all week, so I’ve been praying for you.”

 

Thank you, and thank You.

Okay here's the deal

Dear Stupid Person In Charge of This Body:

Remember that insulin resistant thing? How your body CAN'T HANDLE sugar?

The next time you think "Oh I'll just have a muffin" and then "and a donut" and then "and one of THESE donuts" and then "well it's just SMALL" please remember this feeling.

It is three hours post-donut-binge and your brain has sprouted talons and is trying to claw its way out through your eyeballs. This would bother you more if you weren't trying so desperately hard not to puke.

Good thing you don't work a full day on Fridays.

Oh wait, you do.

Man, that was thinking.

Well I lied a bit

I do have some clue what I weigh, and I do care. I've been stuck at the same weight since March. HOWEVER, I have not gained.

I'm back to jokes about getting my lips sewed shut, which have worked so well as a weight loss plan in the past. (Not)
