Friday weigh-in

Just a quick post to say how my weigh in this morning was.......yea not good!! LOL!! Though I never really expected it to be. I've ate like crap most of the week. Not super bad, but bad enough. Then with Brannen's birthday being yesterday we went out to dinner last night. Yea.....not good choices were made ;) lol!! Fried zucchini for an app that I shared with Tab. Plus I had a piece of Brannen's and a piece of Jason's app's too. Then my dinner was completely fried.

Anyways, I was up 2.8 pounds. Last Friday I was at 218.6, and this morning I was at 221.4....yeah no good. But after what I ate last night, not surprising at all. I actually laughed when I say the number come up on the scale this morning.....lol!! That's what I get for eating fried food an hour & a half before I go to bed :p

So next week is my period. Going to try and get back to watching my calories. Not sure it'll be a great week, but I'm going to try my hardest.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! :)

Damn BC!!!

So I was watching the The Doctors yesterday (I don't make a habit of it, but nothing else was on & it caught my eye). Anyways, so as I was watching the show it said that weight gain & increased appetite can be a side effect of birth controls pills. So I immediatly googled my BC, and guess what?? Yep! A side effect is weight gain & increased appetite!! Are you kidding me?!?!  Two issue's I've been having!!

I've been saying ever since having Shawna that I can't seem to get my eating under control, well never in my wildest dreams did I ever think to chalk it up to my BC pill. The weight gain too. And it's not even that I've gained all that much weight, and I think that's cuz I've been doing enough exercising to keep it under control. But I haven't been losing either, I've just been maintaining. The under controlled eating has definitely been an issue though for sure!!

Needless to say Brannen & I had a long talk last night about me getting off of BC & us getting something else figured out in the way of bc, whatever that may end up being.

I'm just so happy to finally have answers to more than one question or problem that I've been having. Though in my defense I really just thought it was the after effects of having Shawna. And again, never for a minute did I think that my BC pill could affect my weight & eating! Anyways, we'll see how weigh in tomorrow goes. Honestly I'm not expecting anything great. The whole watching my calories didn't make it very far this week, as it's the week before my period. Basically I eat everything in sight! LOL!! Wish me luck!! :)

It's a new week.....

So last week I decided to start counting my calories. I found an app for my phone that tells me based on my current weight, height & how much weight I wanna lose how many calories I can have in a day & has a food diary where I can keep track of it all. So I started it last Tuesday morning. Did it all day Tues, Wed & Thurs and then weighed in on Friday to find I had only lost .2 of a pound!! :( Was not happy about that. Yes I understand that I can't just watch my calories for 3 days & expect to lose massive amounts of weight, but I did expect to lose a little more than .2 of a pound! If nothing else, in water weight. I've always been pretty good about drinking water all day, but tend to max out at about 5 cups. Well those 3 days last week I was hitting 8 cups a day, so I expected to be down a little just cuz of that, but I wasn't. Needless to say I was a little discouraged all weekend. Ate a burger Friday night, fatty breakfast for dinner Saturday night, and then a fatty breakfast Sunday morning to help soak up all the alcohol I drank Saturday night. So bye bye .2 of a pound....lol!!

It is a new week though, and I'm going to get back to it!! I worked out 3 days last week, and plan on doing it again this week. I'm going to eat good all week until I weigh it again on Monday, and see how I do. Again, yes I do understand that losing weight takes time. I get that! That's why I'm going to give it another go this week, and then go from there. Yes over all I need to be watching what I'm eating anyways, but just really want to get some weight off for the wedding, and then for the honeymoon too. So this week I'm going to try my damnedest to never go over my calorie mark. I can do this.....I CAN DO THIS!!!
