May. 16, 2008 - Waistward De-Expansion Project Part Deux
Sigh.
I'm not sure what happened to the days when I could lose weight easily. Those days are gone! Seth and I have been on a diet and I've been trying to cook lean, given up drinks at Sonic. I eat crappy diet food like weight watchers frozen lunches and zone bars. So far in three weeks I have lost two pounds. And that's hard earned too! Last week I had lost two (to date), and then on Mother's day the Flitton men cooked for the moms and so I ate that meal which was chicken cordon bleu. I didn't overeat but it was fattening. I had a small portion of ice cream for dessert. Just that cheating on mother's day negated my two weeks and two pounds. So I've been really good this week, except for the day Seth got home and we went to Arby's - but still i didn't over eat, and didn't have soda. At least I got my two pounds back off. I guess I should be happy. The only thing is, I'm not happy. I remember when I was younger I could diet like this and expect 5-10 pounds in a week or two. Certainly a good ten pounds in three weeks. Seth hasn't been depriving himself nearly as much and he's lost 11 last I checked. Darn men and their metabolisms!
Oh well. I'll just have to resign myself to the fact that it's going to take me half a year to lose this blubber, and then it will be time for the holidays again. Maybe I'll luck out and get pregnant. With Luke my metabolism was fantastic and I ate like a pig to gain weight. I'm all backwards - hoping to get pregnant to lose weight. Oh yeah, and we decided to start trying to get pregnant for real now by the way which means I'm taking Metformin again and feeling sick. I also am taking a quadrillion supplements that I was taking when I got pregnant with Luke. I'm trying to gear myself up for doctors appointments again. In a couple months we'll have to start follicle monitoring and oh so pleasant shots in the hiney. I don't know how it's possible to get pregnant on accident.
