Weight Loss is Not Linear

This wont be long... The scientist in me...likes to extrapolate and predict what the results will be for the next few months...and when it doesn't happen I get ANGRY!   I've learned that it wont work that way. I've learned that there are trends but they are NOT linear.  So my formulas and predictions are not always accurate but that's real life.  I have to accept that....and thats OK.  Will I still make predictions and extrapolation...probably...its fun.  At the end of it all....there will be a trend line and I will be able to find its equation how exciting will that be... Till...

Here Comes the Muscle!

So I've knocked off 10 pounds...most likely its all water. I can never tell.  Still meatless.  Eating well but I know that its time to bring on the weights. This is what I am not looking forward to because I know the fast weight loss is over...the muscles are going to start building and the numbers on the scale will start going loco.  I must stay diligent.  I will start looking at the fat percentage on my scale to help my mind stay at ease.  So I am hoping to lose 5-7 pounds a month at this point, if I get more than that; FANTASTIC!  In November, I will begin to add fish back into my diet....and if I...

Not Today.

Get your tissues girls.... This is tear jerker. No more tears from this end...just frustration, anguish and disappointments.  Behind it all there is a light, there is something greater at the other side...but in the valley its a bit dark.  Today is one of those days....or weeks, months maybe. I don't want to dress up no more...whats the point comes to mind.  No amount of makeup or clothes that I own is going to cover up the fact that I HATE EVERYTHING I OWN.  No amount of compliments will make me feel like I look appropriate because I don't feel appropriate.  No cliches or quotes will suffice today,...

Ahhh! No food in the house...probably not true.

Did I mention my hair is mid back length?  That has NOTHING to do with this blog entry but God knows that is a big deal!  Exercise and eating veggies does wonders for the hair...that's for sure! The point of this entry is to talk about the phrase "I have no food in the house"  I often say it...and meant it.  Ive found that this is most likely not true... So today is day 10 without meat...well I had fish yesterday...long story... Well I will tell it... I forgot my breakfast and lunch which were contained in my lunchbox on the dining room table.... So I was foodless for the entire day until I got home from work...I was...

Till It's Gone...

"Now why you wanna go and do that?" I can hear myself upset about my belly even after making such progress...progress I couldn't see.  Rightfully so because I see myself everyday and gradual changes are not to be seen by the naked constant eye.   Until you gain the weight again and realize you had it pretty good.  MY BELLY HAS REBOUNDED LIKE NEVER BEFORE!  The saying is true that you don't know what you got till its gone...I'll take my old belly back for 200 Alex!  Its really amazing how we don't pay attention to the little changes good or bad that our body makes.   6.6 lbs down...

#TeamFat

#TeamFat. I hate this team!  Yet I keep coming back...well technically I never left but I was making progress...got to 17 pounds.  Somehow some way...17 pounds is now a measly TWO.  So here we go again.... Back to juicing and eating veggies and dusting off the Wii Fit and other tools of trade.  Gotta keep trying until it works... Seems like I always start when Im bloated already, further dampening my excitement...its been three days since I restarted my journey to health.  Logged back in to MyFitnessPal and saw how many people had made so much progress during my hiatus.  I hid my virtual face...
