Yes, I am a bloatational device.

Weight: 388.8

In case of a water landing, y'all might want to hang on, cause I'm gonna bloat up and just float along! I know a lot of is water, but I'm ok w/ that.  As long as the weight is down, that's what matters.  It seems like if I eat anything other than salads and small amounts of lean meats, I just bloat right up.  Ugh! I suppose it's a good thing I like eating green things! As for the holidays, I've been doing really well so far - very few extra treats, etc.  We're going out for our usual Chinese food, so I'll be a lot better off than at Thanksgiving with all those delicious fattening leftovers! LOL!

It's amazing what stress will do when it comes to losing weight.  I used to be a stress eater - if something was up, grab a shovel and fork folks!  Now though, I just have no desire for food.  I know it's to do with dealing with the holidays, mom's cancer, etc. So this past week, although I haven't been going to the gym, I'm still down 5lbs.  Damn!

I haven't gotten much of anything done today, although I did make it back to the gym and it felt great to take all that tension out on the treadmill.  I've also been cutting back the intensity of the workouts, so I'm gonna track it for the next week or so and see if there continues to be improvements with dropping more pounds.  I will say, I'm feeling a lot better physically since taking a little break.  I think the overdoing it might have been what was holding me back.

Even though this is turning into the most difficult times in my life, I'm still determined to make a change.  Not just for myself but because it's what mom wants me to do.
