Reflections on a bad or mediocre week...

So I weighed this morning and saw what I expected. No weigh down and 2 pounds up from my minimum. It is disheartening once again. I will get over it and it is not going to make me cheat, but it really is depressing.

Anyway, in the good news section we are going to find out the sex of our baby today! Boy or Girl? We shall see soon I hope. I am excited and of course this means we will be shopping. We are going to Lexington this weekend so we will conveniently be near some good shopping for my wife. I am committed to 5 hours on Saturday!

As far as food went yesterday I upped what I was eating since some people said I wasn't eating enough for my size:
Breakfast:
Venti Iced Coffee w/ heavy cream
2 sausage patties
2 eggs

Lunch:
6 Grilled chicken tenders with hot sauce and blue cheese
Side Salad w/ blue cheese

Dinner:
2 Baconators (double cheeseburgers w/bacon) from Wendys

2 Sprite Zeros

That is it for posting. I doubt I will be able to update over the weekend. Hopefully I will drop in on Monday with a new weightloss! See you all then. (All 3 of you!)

Ho Hum...

Well I am not weighing until tomorrow. It is too depressing over the last few days. I imagine it is mostly water weight, but at this point I really don't care. I just hope on Friday I am where I started the week at. Bleck. Anyway regardless here is what I ended up eating yesterday:

Breakfast:
SB Venti Coffee w/ Heavy Cream
Bob Evans Farmer's Omelet (3 eggs, onions, spinach, hollandaise sauce)

Lunch:
Wendy's Double w/o Bun
LC Ketchip

Dinner:
Burger King Triple Whopper!!! (w/o bun)
Leftover hamburger patty
LC Ketchup

And yes... The last 4 pieces of Sugar Free Chocolate I am going to have. =( I think it is my problem and we shall see going into next week.

argh

328 =( Not much to say about this today. Maybe I should not weigh again till Friday.

Yesterday I ended up with:
Breakfast:
3 Sausage Patties
V Starbucks Coffee

Lunch:
Splenda w/ Iced Tea
Cobb Salad w/ Avocado and Ranch dressing

Dinner:
2 Huge burgers with cheese and buffalo sauce
Green beans w/ Bacon

The bad:
6 pieces sugar free chocolate (this stuff really is gone now!)
2 Sprite Zeroes

It is hard for me to believe that the SF Chocolate and 2 Sprite Zeroes could do that to me.

Anyway back to work!

Again with the frustration!

So... I know I said I would get over it and not care, however.... I am up to 327.4 again. I know this is just bloat/normal fluctuation but it frustrates me. I feel like I should be in weightloss freefall for about 40-50 pounds. I guess if it is easy it would be called eating. =/

Anyway yesterday I ate more than I had been since I was oddly hungry. I ate:
Breakfast-
Starbucks w/ Heavy Cream!
3 sausage patties
1 egg
LC Ketchup

Lunch (yes I ate a lunch)
3 Double Cheeseburgers (sans bun)
LC Ketchup

Dinner-
Crackerbarrel Chicken Tenders (grilled 6)
Side Salad with Blue Cheese
Green beans

That is much more than usual so maybe that is why I am bloated. Also... I am sad to report that I had a diet coke at Cracker Barrel. Maybe this poor behaviour is why I am rewarded with 1 pound gain! WHY!?! Ok anyway I will calm down. The reason I went to Cracker Barrel was my brother and father-in-law were in town. My F-I-L had been on Atkin for 5 years and maintained weightloss that had kept him happy. Of course as I go on he switches to Weight Watchers.

This morning I have had 3 Sausage patties. Hopefully that will keep me through till dinner.

On another note we received a neat little gizmo yesterday that is supposed to help us organize our lives and other cool stuff. It is the HP Touchsmart PC. It is really really sweet but... The programs that come with it seem very rushed and have little true functionality. We were excited about the calendar program that would let my wife and I keep track of our crazy schedules. Well, it does not show text in the month views just that there is an event. So we can't see her workschedules or what event is going on unless we zoom into the days. It seems like that would be the most basic feature. There is no file management inside the touchscreen software for your videos and pictures. You have to go out to Vista to manage the files. It just seems like they could have done more. On the other hand it is VERY cool looking and the touchscreen is fun to play with. I hope they add on to the touch applications. It has good possiblities and is a great Kitchen PC for us. With our old computer going away in the room that will become the new Nursery it is the best place for a PC for us.

Anyway, enough with my rambling about new gadgets and back to work!

Beginning of another day!

No change in weight this morning which is good. I hate it when I seesaw upwards. This morning I had an egg and three sausage patties. For the last 3-4 days I have only eaten breakfast and dinner. I have been impressed with not needing the food.

Yesterday I cleaned the our two cars out. Had a nifty little spotbot we purchased to clean up pet messes. Turns out it is great to shampoo car floor mats and floors. It worked like a charm and she is very happy with her vehicle this morning. It was quite a workout since it was hot here yesterday.

Last night I check my keto level and it was as high as possible. I am glad about that since I have cut so much out of my diet to get there. I am going to continue eating the way I have been. I need to keep the losing up and adding things to see when it stops seems counter productive until I plateau for awhile. Then I will change it up so that I can reset myself and get past the plateau.

The last time I low carbed I plateaued every two weeks which became quite frustrating. The only bright part of that was after it broke I just woke up 3-5 pounds lighter and moved on. I really hope I can get to 20 pounds lost in the each of my first two months. That would put me close to where I was before my last major slip up period. Realistically I only lose 10 pounds a month max so I need to keep that in perspective.

Anyway, hope everyone is having a great day.
