To say I have been struggling with my weight loss lately would not be a completely accurate statement…

…mostly because, in all honesty, I wasn’t really trying.

I didn’t throw in the towel, not by any means, but I wasn’t doing much in terms of trying to eat right, work out, etc…etc…etc… I’ve allowed work to basically consume ALL OF MY TIME, in the hopes of building up my savings in preparation for my move.

Unfortunately, this lack of effort paid off, and for the first time EVER, I managed to hit the 300lb mark.

BOO!

I’ve since flipped the switch back on, at least diet wise, and am back in the 200s (294 as of this morning).  But…I need to make more of an effort to strike up a balance between work and life.  I don’t mind sacrificing parts of my personal life, because it’s short term and I have a goal in mind, but I can’t sacrifice my health.  Besides, starting a new life in Pittsburgh isn’t going to do a whole hell of a lot of good if I’m not comfortable with myself.

So, while I still need to keep work on the frontburner for right now, I want to move my weight loss journey off of the backburner.

Mid-burner, perhaps? Is that a thing?

 

I will do a weigh in post on Thursday (it’s been awhile, right?). We’ll see how it goes. :)

Have a great weekend, and stay safe.  To my fellow East Coasters, don’t get hurricaned away! :)

Can I tell you that it’s been a hellaciously busy week?

 I’ve been trying to work massive overtime this week, while finishing up my assignments for this semester.  I have until the 30th to get everything done or I am suspended from Financial Aide…ACK!  Luckily everything is submitted, and now I am just waiting for it to be graded or come back for revisions (which it hopefully won’t)!

Next week I am housesitting for my aunt, which will hopefully buy me a little peace and quiet, but I’m not counting on it. :/

Anywho!  There is a giveaway going on in these parts, and you have up until midnight EST to comment on THIS POST!  The winner will be chosen randomly, and will get two Promax LS energy bars and a $15 iTunes gift card.  Awesome, right?

That’s all I got for now.  Anyone have any fun weekend plans? :)

Starting Weight:  292.4 lbs
Previous Weight:   ???
Current Weight:  276.2 lbs
Total lost: 16.2 lbs
BMI:
40.02

I am still posting as gain from two weeks ago, but I have undone some of the damage from last weeks weigh in, so I’m happy.

This next week coming up is going to be a big one.  Not only is Fitbloggin coming up, but I have to go to my office (which is 2.5 hours away, ugh)  next Tuesday, AND, I turn 27 on Saturday. :)   So I have a lot on my plate, but it would still be nice to kind of “rock it” this week.  If I step up the workouts when I can, and make sure I stay with in Weight Watchers points, I think I may be able to pull off a nice loss.  We’ll see how it goes, though.

How’re you doing with your goals?
