Just another WordPress weblog
With week #1 under my belt, I weighed and took measurements to log my changes. I didn’t expect to meet this week’s goal because of the lousy start, but I was happy to see that I did make some progress.
I lost 0.8 lbs, and 2.5 total centimeters in girth. It could be anything. It could be a big dump, but I was gaining before. So I’ll allow myself the feeling of accomplishment.
It’s been almost 1 week since I started making a new conscious effort to be healthier. The first few days were not good because that Sunday Dennis went grocery shopping and bought things that I find impossible to resist eating such as Funions and Honey Smacks cereal. I wolfed down the Funions that day. And two days ago had the last of the cereal. I hadn’t told him not to buy the stuff… I just can’t have any of those foods around me because I WILL eat them And if I’m eating like that already, why not have a couple high fat delivery lunches, which I did. So in a sense week one was a wash. Not exacly a good way to start. But it hasn’t been all bad.
I cooked dinner yesterday and although I had a lot of rice and chicken, I also had a vast amount of salad. J kept saying “wow, you really like salad!”. When it’s with my chicken and rice, YES! I also haven’t had any soda so far, well maybe one. I’m trying find a way to keep that good stuff at work now. I need to keep myself surrounded with healthy things to eat. Cuz when i get hungry I will eat the bad stuff from the machines and I can’t stop myself from doing it. The plan is to have salad at work, fruits, yogurts, and water… and whatever else I need.
I’m also trying hard to cut down on the sugar intake. My feet are covered with tinnea pedis and I’ve hit it with all kinds of anti-fungals. I have 3 prescription creams and I use at least one of them every day. Plus I soak them in vinegar, otc anti-fungals, or prescription dandruff shampoo (which doctors use to treat tinnea) every night. Sadly, none of this has even made a dent in this infection. My feet always hurt or itch, and frankly it’s beginning to be a handicap in my life.d
Tinnea is a kind of yeast fungus that feeds on sugars. Thankfully I beat it everywhere else it was growing, but my feet are rotting in it. And I think the only way to beat this is to cut out the sugars from my diet. I won’t give up my morning coffee with sugar tho. But I have to cut the sugar out everywhere else.
On the frontpage of my fatblog, I counted 5 different posts where I announced things like ‘fresh new start’ and ‘brand new attempt’ (at losing weight). That’s FIVE posts on the front page. Considering my blog only shows 6 posts on the front page, that’s pretty F’ing sad.
But I’m still doing it again. I feel more ready this time than before, tho. And I’m not just saying that. I think I will stick with it this time because…..
I won’t elaborate on the last two in the list , but about #1… I will elaborate.
Ever heard of body squalor? That’s the body equivalent of what happens to your house when you neglect it. And that’s what I have going on, in my opinion. I feel it’s all connected with my frame of mind, depressive tendencies, the I don’t care attitude about my life, etc. That all has manifested itself in weight gain and in other ways as well including…
So I will stop there and say that I’m going to be focusing a little at a time on all of these things. And to satisfy my blogging needs, I’ll be logging everything on my fatblog. I’m hoping that will help keep me motivated too.
It has been a month or so since my last abandonned trek to good health, and I have gained 3 lbs bringing me to a whopping 189 lbs. Pretty soon I will reach 200 lbs if I don’t pull back on the stuff-my-face reigns.
I think it’s time to start planning a restart of said trek to good health.
sigh…
