Well, I apologize to those of you out in cyber world who actually read my blog, I haven't posted in over a week. And it's pretty obvious that I don't post as often when I'm not doing so great.
Yes, this last week and a half has not been any exception. This last week I was sick. Now, I have realized that there are two kinds of sickness.. the one that makes you vomit anything and everything that is in your stomach and allows you to lose five pounds in two days, and then there is the sickness that you say "Screw it! I don't feel good, I need to eat!" and you end up gaining about five pounds of chicken soup and orange juice and jello weight.
Being sick is not fun folks.. we all know that. And being sick and still consciously trying to lose weight, even worse!! I unfortunately, and yet fortunately, had the vomit kind of sickness. Now granted, the timing was kind of perfect because I had a joint bachelor-bachelorette party to go to a few days later, so barfing five pounds off my body was horrific but helped fit into my semi-new "I need to impress the cute groomsmen" dress.
It was horrible. I literally ate nothing that first day. I drank diet 7-up and Zero Calorie vitamin water and regular water. That's it! The thought of even considering eating made me want to puke! It was so terrible.. I was miserable and everyone at worked made it quite clear that I looked terrible. The second day, I pretty much did the same thing except in the evening I ate a bowl of soup, which did help get rid of the lethargic-zombie feeling I was going through due to the lack of calorie consumption. Later that night, I was tossing and turning, hot and cold, sweaty, freezing, but by the morning I think I broke my fever and had some pinkish color back into my cheeks. I still didn't want to over do it, so I just added another can of soup for lunch.
By Friday, I was down 5.2 pounds in four days. I finally felt better, but goodness, what an ordeal to lose 5 pounds! I honestly think it was my body telling me to get it into freakin' gear because it no longer wants to even smell junk food let alone digest it!
Hint taken. Clue gotten! Well, by the bachelor-bachelorette party, I was down a whole "whopping" 8 pounds from the beginning of this journey... No, not my best work, but it's better than being 8 pounds heavier!
I don't know how well of an impression I made on cute groomsmen, but I figure I have another month before the wedding! One month! Goodness time flies.. and my fat ass is wasting it! Off to the gym! I HAVE TO GET DOWN to 198 pounds! I was 198 pounds last year, I will not weigh MORE than what I weighed last year!! That's not progress!
I'm feeling a bit of a renewed spirit at this weight loss stuff... I hope this renewed spirit gets stronger and lasts longer.. it's really tough doing this on my own!
