Weigh-In Day

-


Let's start with a recap of yesterday per usual.

For breakfast I had a bowl of weight watchers cereal, then I snacked, and snacked, and snacked some more (borderline binged). Barbecue corn chips, sour scream and onion potato chips, wheat thins, rice crisps and butter cookies, throughout the day. For dinner I had two fried pink salmon pattie sandwiches (with mustard), and two hash brown patties (with entirely too much ketchup). I consumed a grand total of 3,155 calories (cut it pretty close this time).

Today

I was really concerned that my eating from this past weekend might effect today's weigh-in, I took in just an insane amount of sodium on both days, and had about a ton of sugar, all while staying below my default calorie goal of 3,680. So how did today's weigh-in go? Quite well. I'm actually blown away, I had to double check to be sure.

Last week I weighted 514 pounds, this week..... 506! Down 7 pounds, I'm quite shocked by the results, I lost more last week than I did during boot camp week. This puts me a lot closer to dropping out of the 500s than I anticipated.

Even with this weeks great weigh-in, I'm continuing on with my plan to eat between 1200-1500 calories, I originally made these plans because I figured I'd have a hard time exiting the 500s by May, but now that possibility seems a lot more likely, still the plan remains. This new calorie goal will be in effect for the next 3 weeks, minimum, including the weekends.

This week I have quite a few appointments, I have to schedule another appointment with my general care doctor, I see my dermatologist tomorrow, I have therapy Wednesday, vision work Friday and today I'm meeting with my case manager to go over some things. So busy week in terms of appointments, and I just realized I need to schedule an appointment to get my knees looked at. This afternoon I'm going walking with my buddy again at the park.

Something interesting happened earlier I got a call from Meijer's (US retail store chain, à la Wal-mart) they are hiring in all positions and had my application on file from when I was applying like crazy at the beginning of the year.  He asked me if I'd be interested and I said yes, and I have to call him back for a phone interview later today. My mom is in high protest, and I don't know what my thought process was or is, I just feel like another employment opportunity has fallen in my lap and maybe I should take it. The fact remains however that I'm still a big guy, still have social anxiety and plantar fasciitis they haven't gone away. The truth is I likely won't call him back, I'd be a fool to jump back into the same situation I was. I just wish I could understand why I'm even considering it.

Smooth Sailing

The week seems to have just glided by, it's almost over. I've been sleeping well, this morning however I woke-up feeling kind of out of it.  A recent comment mentioned going down in shirt sizes, that's interesting because my therapist has been saying I should do this for weeks, new clothes, it's a touchy subject. I'm not quite sure there is enough of a difference to warrant me getting new lower sizes. As I told my therapist (whom thought I was being ridiculous) I've laid in these shirts in so many different ways and contorted them that it's really no telling if weight loss  has anything to with this appearance. So I really don't want to go down lower in sizes and be disappointed, and then wouldn't going down in size make me look bigger anyways? I know the logic in that last bit is odd , but it just came to me, I can't rationalize it, but it seems valid as if this sentence. Mentally I'm mostly stable, however that picture of me by the campe...

I Watched Some Picture Films

-
I always like when people refer to movies as "picture films." I actually watched some movies over the weekend several days in a row. I even watched one this morning called The Loft , yesterday I watched The Account with Ben Affleck (so good). Its been really nice getting caught up in movie worlds for a little bit of time again, especially the horror ones, I really love a good spooky film. I watched one called From The Dark that was really good and I actually have a few to watch tonight so that should be scary fun. I got some Canadian bacon because I was told this was better for me than regular bacon because its considered lean or whatever, I also got some peanut butter 2 that I'm planning on making on an Instagram story video thing maybe today, its basically this powdery peanut butter you add water to that turns into normal peanut butter that has less fat and calories than regular peanut butter, so if you're following me on Instagram be looking out for that. How ...

Boot Camp Week Day Five

The final day of boot camp week is upon us. Today the exercise goal is to complete the four mile challenge, which would give me a new miles per week peak. The food goal is simple once again, and the consistent goal of the week. Stay below 1,800 calories. I got news yesterday that my oldest nephew might be coming down for the weekend. That's pretty awesome news. His spring break starts today, but he'll only be here the weekend (versus the entire break previously), but   it wasn't set in stone so I'm not expecting anything.  He has been getting all A's in school this semester so far so I'm really proud of him. Today I'm getting blood work done, and will likely schedule  that follow up appointment.
