Did I kill the thread? This was a weekly thread before wasn't it? Come on, I know you all are still trying to lose. And if it isn't gone well for you, well we all understand that the holiday's are rough for most people. And if this was a New Year's resolution that you feel like you've already broken then how about thinking about this. It is only broken if you stop. So what if you gained a few, as long as you keep working on it, they will go away eventually. Somedays you just need a special treat and if that blows your weight for the week then so be it.
This is a bit over a week, but I kept forgetting to "officially" check. In these 9 days I've lost another 2.2 pounds.
I'm still on my super low sodium diet and trying to stay around 2000 calories a day since I'm still healing. I'm going to try and keep that spreadsheet even after I stop watching my salt just because it has helped me to know that I've already planned on a snack and so don't feel guilty when I have to have one in the afternoon. We started planning our menu out a few weeks in advance in October to help with the shopping (no last minute run out and get X because we got it over the weekend). This to me is just the next step of that process. Actually seeing how many calories are in whatever we've planned.
I did lose my weight limit restrictions, but I was WAY optimistic in how quickly I'd be ready to do "real" work. I'm pushing my endurance every day, but it isn't coming back as fast as I had hoped. Right now just one of our normal route family walks would likely wipe me out. Shannon still isn't letting me feed, but I've gotten an OK to cook and deal with the dishes so at least I'm not just sitting there all day now.
So everyone come back and lets get this going again. Remember slow and steady wins the race. And just like the stock market don't look at individual days or even a single week, but look at the general trend over time.
