I missed my weigh-in last week because I was not able to weigh in first thing in the morning on Saturday, which is typically what I do so I can keep my weight consistent. also, I felt like I was retaining water, and I knew that it would probably be discouraging, so I decided to skip a week. it looks like I'm moving in the right direction, but for the amount of work I've put in, it's discouraging that I've only lost 1.2 lb in 2 weeks. but at the same time, I'm glad that I'm continuing to move towards my goal. I've actually had a few meetings downtown at our headquarters due to a modernization project that we are working on and those meetings are always catered. it was extremely difficult for me to stick to my diet and eat what I had packed for myself when faced with the excellent spread that they put out for our catered lunches. in addition to that of course was also turning down the donuts and cookies and danishes that they provided in the morning while eating my banana and drinking my protein shake. thankfully they didn't have cannolis because that would have broken me. but thankfully I was able to resist everything and stick to it all week. I no it might sound completely irrational though but it was hard because it's emotionally taxing for me. I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to food and I genuinely feel cheated and my feelings get hurt when other people are having delicious food and I can't partake. I know that it sounds absolutely ridiculous and I feel foolish even admitting it. but it does take a toll. I feel somewhat Vindicated now that the scale is lower than it was the last time I weighed in.

(8 comments) Losing 0.3 kg a Week

13 April 2024

Not one goddamn ounce lost despite busting my ass and eating almost nothing. I must be able to absorb calories right out of the fucking sky. I exceeded my walking and riding targets. the only thing I can think of is that I had to cram all my exercise into just a few days at the beginning of the week because we had bad weather later in the week. so even though I did the same amount of exercise, I did it over a few days instead of spreading it out through the week which I normally do. I'm wondering if the days that I didn't walk or ride my bike because of the weather caused this? it's so frustrating. well I've further refined my diet to get it down to under 1140 calories a day while getting enough protein and nutrients. Maybe that will help. If possible, I'll try to exceed my riding and walking targets again this week and hopefully be more consistent because the weather looks better this week.

06 April 2024

So it begins again. I had 2 weeks of weight loss, and so now my weight has to go up. I intermittent fasted this week. I ate 1300 calories to 1400 calories a day. I got my protein targets because I'm using protein shakes while eating one meal a day. I got my fiber. the only thing I didn't do was exercise as much as normal because the weather was shit. even still, I managed to meet my minimum riding Target and was only 2 miles off for my weekly walking. naturally, I had to gain 6/10 of a pound. I don't understand why with as little calories as I am taking in versus what I allegedly need to just sit on a couch and exist let alone the exercise that I'm doing on top of it I didn't see weight just melt away this week. I can only imagine that I'm retaining water from the salt in a slice of pizza that I ate for dinner last night after a week of fasting and protein shake and greens and beans and chicken even with that, I still came in under 1500 calories for yesterday. But I guess the fact that it tasted good was reason enough for my body to just flood itself with fluid. I really don't know how I could possibly cut calories anymore with out also depriving myself of the nutrients that I need to stay healthy. I need protein because I'm exercising. I need vitamins and minerals, and I can't get all that from supplements. I need fiber because I'm trying to maintain a healthy biome in my gut, so I shoot for 30 g of protein a day and at least 120 g of protein a day. This is so damn frustrating. next Friday is my birthday and I was planning on behaving all week but then getting a hoagie for my birthday to celebrate. I don't think I'll be able to do that because the moment I take a bite out of a food that is pleasurable my body instantly gains weight. maybe I'll be able to have it after I weigh in on Saturday morning but I'm going to have to continue to suffer through Friday night and get weighed Saturday morning before eating anything in order to see if maybe by some miracle I have managed to actually drop any significant amount of weight despite the enormous effort that I put in. if this doesn't work maybe I will just go full starvation and stop eating till I get the results that I want. Fuck it.

I was really hoping to have lost more weight from last week, but I still dropped over 2 lb. so I am happy with that. I'm just going to continue to do intermittent fasting during the weekdays, go for my morning walks and my afternoon bike rides, and make sure that I get enough protein and fiber with a minimum of calories.

I broke through my 2 week plateau. Intermittent fasting, protein shake suppliment, chicken, beans, greens, and fruit, along with walking 10 miles and riding my bike 50 miles, got the job done finally! 4.7 lbs over the past week.
