Still stuck at 180...

Didn't I call this yesterday?

And hubbs was a very bad influence last night.
Which in short, means I didn't work out.
& we ate out.
But I did have a salad, sweet potato and steak tips that I barely ate because they were gross.

Ever since researching that blood type diet my stomach curls at the thought of red meat and what it's doing to my body.

Slowly but surely my mind is getting to the right place, maybe...

Observation

I worked my ass off last night.
Or maybe I should say Bob worked my ass last night.
Well, that doesn't sound good either...

ANYWAY, I feel a difference.
But I'm not sure where.
I assume it should be my face or arms,
but I don't see anything there.

So, I'm standing in the hubbs' bathroom naked, staring at myself in the mirror. Naturally, he walks in. "WTF are you doing?" he asks. "I feel like something is different but I don't know what." I answer. Without a second to even think, he points right to it. And all be damned if he ain't right on the money. I have to stare for a little while longer just to be sure, but he's found the spot. Of course, it's not anywhere that is a measurement area.

It's the ab area right under my breasts and right above my prego appearing belly. They used to look like 2 halves of donuts. But not anymore! They'e not completely fat free by any means, but they are smaller. That is instant happiness. Makes me feel like just maybe my hard efforts are working!

Tomorrow is weigh in day.
And we all know I will still be stuck at 180.
But I am going to get my lipo shot tomorrow, that I didn't get last week, and maybe that'll pump something into gear! *crosses fingers*

Struggling

I am still stuck at 180.

I've been taking phentermine for 11 days now.

My original 5 lb loss was before the phentermine.

I am straight up livid.

I knew better than to get my hopes up and assume it was going to work for me like it has everyone else. The only thing it's done is make it hard to eat and sleep.

I slacked at working out last week,

but have been doing good this week so far.

I may have lost inches.

Hubbs is going to measure me tonight.

Hopefully I can find where I wrote the last ones down...

Cuteness

I got this in an email:

With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good grief, look how smart I am!

Must be where 'Smart Ass' came from!

180, still

Yes, I know I said I wasn't going to weigh.

But I tried on a pair of shorts that I got from a friend last weekend and they fit different than they originally had so I got super excited.

I begged hubbs to get the scale out of hiding.
He originally told me no...
But obviously gave in with time.

I should have waited.
I haven't lost any.
Yes, I realize I haven't gained either.

But 6 days of phentermine should have shed at least a few pounds!

I am trying really hard to not get discouraged...
I am not going to get my lipo shot today.
I lost 3 lbs without it. We shall see what happens.

3 days in

Got phentermine Friday.
It's not Adipex, it's the generic.
But, it only cost me $5 for a month supply.
If it works, that's awesome!

It's made me feel funny, but not bad.
I'm hoping I will get used to it and that will go away.

I also go my lipo shot.
She did it nice and slow so it didn't burn too bad.

Best part is, I almost chickened out.
But they were out of the lipo pills so I had no other choice.

Hubbs still hasn't hid the scale.
So, of course, I got on it this morning.
It said 180! I almost died. Right there.
That's a 2 lb loss since Friday.
He's supposed to hide it today though because I don't want to weigh for 2 weeks. Yes, I changed from the original 4...

I am sooo scared of losing it too fast and getting flabby.
I'm going to bust my ass this week doing strength training.

Blood Type Diet

Went to chiropractor today.

He asked me my blood type.

I told him A Positive.

He then told me I needed to be a vegetarian.

Um, what?!?

He believes there is specific foods to eat and not eat for your blood type to maintain a healthy body.

So, you know me, I Googled it.

Turns out he's not the only one to think that.

I looked into it.

It makes sense, but then it doesn't.

My first thought was "oh, I could do this and eat seafood."

But most of the seafood I would eat is on the 'not allowed' list.

I'm considering it, kinda.

It's not like I haven't tried everything else.

Why not try this to?
