Week 32 Weigh In

Week 32 was not the best week. The scales at the clinic showed another 1 lb weight gain.
So right now I'm gaining and losing the same 5lbs. :-(

I have 20 lbs to go before I get to my goal weight and it is going to be a battle of wills.

I spoke w/ my health educator about it and we decided that it would be good at this time to take a step backwards and go back to just shakes and veggies for now. Our current theory is that the MR's are too loaded down w/ carbs (pasta and rice) which is throwing my weight loss off. I have to admit that I feel relieved to be doing something about my plateau. I feel much better after my meals - more energetic, less lethargic... This is a good lesson to learn for maintenance. Pastas, rice and high carb foods cannot be daily items on my plan.

By the weekend, I was showing a 3 lb drop on the scale - very exciting! Then I ran my 5k on Sunday and did a 4mile run/walk yesterday and the scales are up 2lbs. :-(

I know it is just temporary due to all my PA. But I really want to see a good number this week so today and tomorrow I will be 100% shaking. Hopefully that will prompt my body to release the water weight.

I will blog about the race itself later. To sum it up, it was awesome and I will definitely do more of them!
