Success?

Ok, so this week I started mushies.  Love them! (most of them) I am doing some really soft things too, and then mushing it with my fork.  It is hard to eat a lot of pureed food.  It changes the taste.  I just want to eat normal food so bad I could scream.  But I am doing my best to stick with the rules. 

The frustrating thing is...I gained this week.  I weighed in yesterday at 267.2.  Not what I wanted to see at all!  I called my clinic and she said she's not too worried about it.  They just want my body to heal at this point.  I texted my nutritionist and she asked me a few questions...am I drinking my water?  What about portion sizes? Where am I on my menstrual cycle?  I answered them all but she never got back with me.  I don't know what I am doing wrong.  I log all my calories and I am eating less than 1000 calories on a high day.  I am exercising and burning anywhere between 375-600 calories a day. I feel like it is going to be fine and it will start to come off, but I want it to come off right now.  My dear sweet hubby often reminds me, several times a day, that it didn't take a month to put it on.  It's not going to take a month to get it off.  I know. I know.  Patience has never been something I've had a lot of though.  I will just keep at it and try to get more water in.  That is one area I am struggling with.  It is hard to remember to drink a bunch an hour before you eat and then when I eat I want to drink.  But I am really working it get it all down and do it right.  Practice makes perfect, right?

Well the house is quiet. The 4 little ones are playing with friends today and the oldest is at the school doing band tryouts.  The hubby is sick so he's in bed.  I think I'll take a nap too.  I woke up at 5:22 this morning and never was able to go back to sleep.  It's time for a little rest. :)

P.S.

If you are following my blog, let me know who you are.  I will start to follow you.  I see that I have people looking, but no comments.  The blog world is what saves me some days.  So I would love to follow you.

Thanks! :)

Carry on/Weigh in Friday

So this week has been tough.  Really tough.  I weighed in today at 264.4.  That is a 2 lb. weight loss and I am still on liquids.  I don't understand.  I am so hungry and I want to eat so badly, but I can't.  My reward should be significant weight loss, right?  I guess not.  I am determined to follow the rules and do what I am told, but I am also getting frustrated.  I start mushies on Wednesday and I can't even tell you how excited I am.  I am ready to have something NOT SWEET!!!  I think it will be fabulous! :)

My feelings about this week....I am frustrated that I only lost 2 lbs., but I am also thrilled that I didn't gain 2 lbs.  I don't know if that makes sense, but that is how I feel.  I'll take it.  I'll carry on, keep going, and be grateful that I am loosing.
