Day 11
Weight 205.8 - up 5 lbs after my feast day from 200.8 yesterday
So now the real test begins ... let's see what happens this week. Will I reach a new low by next Saturday? How quickly will this 5 lbs disappear? How will I handle today?
I sort of lost it yesterday. I started off really well, counting my calories but I felt really out of sorts!! Almost panicky!! At some point during the day I stopped counting calories. I'm fairly certain I exceeded how many calories I was supposed to eat. Hopefully next Saturday I'll be a little more practiced and not so obsessed with eating everything in sight!! By the end of the night I didn't feel so well. I didn't sleep well at all. I feel okay this morning though. I already exercised and will have breakfast soon. I'm not overly concerned about the 5 lb gain ... those of you who frequent my journal know I can have an increase on the scale when I've been well within my RDI. Extra sodium yesterday, way more carbs, even sugar passed my lips!!! Of course I'll need you all to remind me about being patient, and not stressing out if I don't see an immediate decline by tomorrow. And, I need to plan better for the next "feast" day. Sort of looking forward to it actually.
Today is laundry day and work at home day. Also hoping Goodwill is open today because yesterday (much to my husband's dismay) I loaded up the car with a donation. We need to get rid of stuff we no longer use. The clutter in the house is driving me nuts!!! LOL!! I'm confident I'll do well today with my calories. Hubby will make stir-fry for dinner tonight and I'll cook up some cauliflower rice to go with it for mom and I. Today will be a good day.
I'm also excited that I have today and tomorrow off work. Hoping to get a lot accomplished. Yesterday was a goof off day, other than loading up the car that is (which was actually a fair amount of exercise I did not log). Today will be a positive, productive, and fun day. Funny how positive I feel even with the increase on the scale.
Did I tell you I ordered one of those "smart" scales? Yup. I sure did. It hasn't arrived yet but I thought maybe it would help me stay focused. A little nervous about seeing my fat percentage ... but I also know it isn't necessarily completely accurate. But it will give me more than one way to measure progress.
Today I am grateful for ...
... the awareness of how important it is for me to plan what I eat EVERY DAY ... that left to my own devices I am prone to excess!!!
... feeling positive and hopeful about making progress and making this way of eating work well for me.
... getting in 46 minutes of elliptical time first thing in the morning.
... starting to lighten up my life in more ways than one!!!
... knowing I have great support here, to keep me focused, positive, and on track.
And of course ... knowing that I MUST continue to practice kindness towards myself and actively pay attention to my choices. Hoping you all have a wonderful Sunday. I will not feel bad about yesterday. It was a learning experience. I will figure this out. I will reach my goals. I am worth it and I can do this!!!

And so the race to reach a new low begins! :) I am right there with you. I gained INSANE today! It's be off before I know it.
This is the first time I went crazy over the allowed Indulgence Day calories, and it won't happen again like that in a LONG time. I did, however, fully enjoy the day/night, but it's not something to do again and again. Too much indulging WILL threaten the rest of the week. :)

Hey moose...Your journal opens like an episode from, How the Stomach Turns! I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day after that (LOL). My guess is that the 5#'s (of food and booze) will process by the end of today and you could be down 5 by tomorrow morning! Tomorrow, we'll see if I'm right...and I LOVE being right! (haha) Hope you get a lot done, working on 'the Lord's Day' (just kidlin). Actually, I hope Goodwill is open too...I'm lookin for things for the new place I just moved into. (Oh, there's a story there which must wait for another episode from my saga). Too bad we're several states removed...I could probably use some stuff that's in the back of your car! Have a great day!

I hear you and agree. Yesterday was fine but not something I want to repeat every week for certain!!! I'll be interested to watch my progress this week. I don't expect I'll see much, if any, of a drop tomorrow because typically I fluct up for a few days before I drop again. But I KNOW I can do this. I will stay within my calories this week. I'll be kind to myself. I'll be under 200 by at least 5 lbs by the new year. I have wonderful friends to accompany me on this journey.

Doit2it ... you are too funny!!! I wish you were closer too. I'd be happy to give you what is crammed into the back of my Escape!! I doubt I'll be down 5 by tomorrow. That never happens to me. It's okay if I'm not down at all. I might even be up!! But ... I will do it to it ... this week!!! And keep you entertained!!

Hey ya Madaboutmoose! Just read in Kingkeld's journal so I thought I would pop in and tell you I think it's great you "let your hair down" yesterday and had a mindless day from all the counting and measuring.
Sometimes we all need to do that. I know I do and I appreciate hearing that some of my other buddies on FatSecret are of the same mind.
I wouldn't worry too much. It might take a few days to get your body back on track but was worth it. You did it because you can. LOL! Now you go back to working on getting under 200. It's something I want so I can relate to you being that close and taking a deep breath and then GOING FOR IT!!!!! You go now and don't look back, girl! I am pulling for you! ;)

I gained 5 pounds over Thanksgiving (4 days of sustained high days) and it's still bouncing around-literally bouncing. I am a zig zagger too. I usually lose a few days after a high day and a gain. Sounds like that is your pattern too. I am hopeful you will have a similar experience. I know the feeling of panic-actually consciously choosing to eat more. I am so much better at that when I do it unconsciously-and there lies the rub. I had the fat to prove it! Lol.
I am wondering if you felt you were eating more or differently than you wanted? DId you enjoy it? This process really changes our relationship with food-and it can be quite disconcerting. Ahhhh change!

I did enjoy it once I relaxed a bit. I found I was trying to "fit" everything in I wanted ... thus the calorie excess (more than intended). It wasn't as "mindful" as I had hoped but there is always next week. I think my favorite thing was making a big sandwich ... bread, mayo, mustard, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, and chicken breast!!! That was a treat!!! I usually just eat my meat "plain" ... along with a side of cottage cheese!! I really enjoyed biting into that dagwood style sandwich ... thick and tasty!!! Oh. I did enjoy the cake and ice-cream too ... LOL!!! Okay. I confess. I enjoyed every bite!! The difference is today I don't want to do it all over again. Instead I find myself strangely rejuvenated ... and ready to focus. That is new.
