Sorry for not updating. It's been another weird week.
I started the week off well. I'm definitely in a better mood and started eating right and exercising. Then the humid weather started up 2 days ago again. It's been rough. Last night was probably the most humid night we had, and before bed I ended up throwing up, and my eyes and head hurt so bad, and I was so lightheaded. It doesn't seem to matter how much water I drink in a day (yesterday it was around 15 glasses). Luckily I did get some sleep last night, so hopefully I'll be less cranky today. It's also a lot less humid today, or seems like it. There's a breeze and it's overcast so that helps.
My eating has mostly been okay. I've been eating well up until yesterday. I forgot my lunch yesterday, and thankfully it was a Wednesday. Every Wednesday at work there is a free lunch downstairs, so instead of paying $8 for parking in one day, I had the free lunch. It wasn't the best - I ate a salad and they had chicken burgers with unhealthy buns. But I was starving and ate it. Then I went for dinner with a friend and we had popcorn shrimp with delicious peppercorn ranch dressing. But since I knew I ate some not-so-good things, I ordered a huge salad for my meal which was nice. This hot weather, especially when I'm at home, makes me not eat very much. I think that's why I haven't seen any dramatic changes lately - I'm not eating enough. But I'm trying. And I'm going to my parent's tomorrow where I know they'll feed me and I'll eat because they have AC. I'll also try to work out a home this weekend - go for a run on the treadmill at least. And my mom is giving me an extra fan to bring back so I can put that in front of me and hopefully I can work out here on humid days. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing about feeling so sick in this weather. I guess a part of me is considering moving home and just commuting, but I love living on my own. I think I may just try out the extra fan first, and if that doesn't work, I'll keep an eye on the weather and maybe just go to my parent's on days when it's supposed to be really humid, and stay here the rest of the time.
I did weigh myself this morning though and I'm 191.8lbs. So at least there's a tiny loss. Less than 2lbs to go before the first milestone. I feel like I should be there already but... I guess I have to deal with the fact that I'm losing slower. But only 1.8lbs until I can get my new iphone case! I'm excited because I want a new one so badly. Hopefully after this weekend the scale will hit 190 and I can get one. And then it'll be on to the next goal - to hit 180. Hopefully with increased exercising, once I figure this whole humidity thing out, we'll start seeing the pounds falling off faster. I'd like that anyway.
I guess that's it for now. I'm trying my best to stay positive, even if this weather puts me in a terrible mood. But at least this weather makes it very unlikely that I'll binge on bad food, since I can barely stand the thought of eating, haha. I guess I'd still prefer weather that wasn't humid though. I really need to move somewhere with gorgeous non-humid weather...

Woohoo!! Congrats on being at 191.8! You are so close! I know how good that feels.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been yucky here, too. But the temp has suddenly dropped off in the last couple days, which is weird. Either way it makes me not want to work out. lol
Have fun at your parents!! :)
