Weight Loss: Week 2 in Review

By lunaKM on September 23, 2007

Alright folks… the verdict is: 311. Yup, I’m still 311. No loss, no gain. It’s one of those good and bad things. I’m happy I didn’t gain any weight but kinda saddened I haven’t lost a single pound yet. Not that I’m too surprised, it is just the beginning of a long journey. It is also the beginning of my bloat week so… after that’s all done I could have lost 2 lbs or something and never known it

I did pretty well with my eating and exercise mainly because I brought it to Master’s feet and asked him to be my conscience. We have a dry erase board with letters on it; one for water, diet, exercise and strength training. I have to cross them off as they are completed. If I fail to succeed with it, I get one day to make it up (only if that day before I didn’t have time to do it). If I don’t make it up I get a cane stroke added to my tally and the punishment is handed out that day. Master was generous to start the tally at 5. We started this method on Thursday so the jury is still out on whether it works, but I think it will only have a positive impact as I hate the punishment cane so much that I don’t want to see 6 strokes on the board. The only way to get a stroke removed is to be a perfect score for a whole week.

I’m thinking of upping my strength training as supposedly I selected 30 mins workout but it’s only taking me 15-20 and it’s not taxing me a lot. I don’t even feel the burn anywhere but my stomach for about 5 mins after.

I lowered the food calorie range that SP.com keeps upping for some reason. The website diet says my high range should be 2450. I seriously doubt my metabolism is up high enough for me to eat that much. I lowered it to 2000 as my high range and when I start feeling hungry after I eat 2000 then I know my metabolism is working higher and I can up it.

Next week I am of course working towards a perfect score. I can’t make the tally go down any (since it’s at the starting point) but I sure as hell don’t want to see it go up. Today I will up my strength training regime and make sure that my cardio is at or more than 30 mins (30 mins still pushes me so I think I’ll stay there for now). Let’s hope for weight loss next week!

luna hey I'm proud of you my dear! You didn't gain this is great, & TOM (time of the month) sucks it messes w/ everything! Usually never lost that week & then would have a big loss the next. I think I told ya Saturday I am joining you on your journey w/ my last 50, so that means you have a second conscience if you would like it. Accountability is everything my dear. So I'll be cheering you on as if I wasn't already , but we are gonna have a little Subbie Biggest Looser! Just we all win & I don't have a million dollars to give away… Love ya girl! Good luck this week. I start today but I like my w/i (weigh in) on Wednesdays so I will weigh in in 2 days. Talk to ya soon!

Hello Luna, I can't remember how I found your link but I look back at your blogs time to time see how things are going with your weightloss.. I've never been to SP.com so I'm really not sure what that is so I wont pass judgement on something that I'm not aware of but when I was heavier (245 lbs.) and was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, pill/diet control I was put on an 1,800 calorie diet, It was hard, yes, very hard but it did work. Over the last 11 yrs. I have battled with the ups and downs currently on the downslide again whoo hooo! but it may be something for you to consider. I just noticed the 2450 and you said you lowered yourself to 2,000 goodgirl and dont give up! Your goals are in arms reach just set your mind to it and watch the glow on your Masters face as you succeed and push that scale below the 300 mark. Goodluck hun.
