208
This is my second go-round with the Optifast, this time I'm also trying to hike Mt. Whitney!
Today I weigh 210, so I'm back to where I was before my "bad week." I haven't measured myself for the week yet so I don't know if I have lost any inches. Probably not, since I haven't been exercising much. I go back to the dentist on Wednesday to get my permanent crowns put on, so hopefully I'll be feeling better after that.
I cheated in many ways with many different foods last week. I take two steps forward and one step back. Luckily I only gained back two pounds, so at least I'm not back at square one. I think a big part of it had to do with the dental work I had done on Tuesday. It hurt and I felt bad. It still hurts a bit. I was feeling sad, run-down and hopeless.
I'm having a hard time staying on course today. Yesterday I had some dental work done. I bought some regular soup because I was feeling kinda crappy and just didn't want to cook for a change. This morning I got on the scale and was 2 pounds heavier - in just one day! That is just so fucked! Two cans of soup and I'm two pounds up. Gah! It's so discouraging!
Happy Fourth of July! I'm down to 210, so I have lost 10 pounds since I started the diet, and 15 pounds since I started trying to lose weight. This was a slow week for weight loss. I only lost 2 pounds, but at least I lost something.
