Sorry about the length between posts, I did promise I would be better about that, but c'est la vie.
I re-sprained my ankle a week or so ago, so that was a bummer. We were at the glow-in-the-dark mini golf course at Trafalga and I stepped off a ledge onto the green and it was not flat like I thought, so I rolled it and went down hard. Thankfully it wasn't bad enough to need the brace again, but it did further delay my return to full workouts. I'm just too scared to make it worse.
On the plus side, my face seems to be a little bit more clear, but still not where I want it to be. I couldn't find the "DIM" supplement my doctor recommended, and the pharmacist didn't know what it was, so I'll need to do some more research/call my doctor back. It probably doesn't help that I've been pretty stressed out lately and that makes me break out, and even worse, my stress coping mechanism is to pick at my face, so nothing gets to heal and the oil from my hands gets transferred to my skin. Ouch and yuck!
This morning I weighed in at 184.7, and I'm still in the "overweight" category instead of "obese" so I'm going in the right direction! I set my typical "5 lbs in One month" goal on my wii fit, which will put me in the 170s if I make it. The last time I got close to that, I rebounded and gain some weight back. The 180s are always the hardest for me, but that's to be expected since I haven't weighed less than 180.0 in a very long time. I'm not exactly sure how long, but probably high school.

Pre Thanksgiving
Alright, so I figured I should make a pre-Thanksgiving post so that when I've completely gorged myself on pumpkin pie and yams this week, I'll know what a bad girl I've been.
I weighed in yesterday at 191.8. Yay!!!!!!!! So from my highest point at 214, that's a total loss of 22.2 pounds.
I forgot to move my pebbles around, so sorry no picture, but when I dip into the 180s I'll take one I promise. I also need to get one of me in my size 16 jeans. They're too big! Annoyingly so! Unfortunately, they're not too big everywhere, so I don't know if that means I can go down a size. I can put my 14s on, but it's not pretty, or comfortable in some places. With my 16s I have to cinch my belt so tight to hold them on, it makes it pucker all weird in the back and stuff, and I could get them off without unbuttoning them or anything. But my hips are still too wide to go smaller, really. So I guess this is the weird/frustrating part of weight loss. I'm too small for the jeans I have been wearing, but not small enough to go down a size, so I don't look good in any of them. But hopefully that will work itself out soon. And I'm too cheap to go buy a pair that fits me right now because I don't plan on staying at the size I'm at for long.
The 180s are the hardest part for me since that's as far as I got, and where I've been for the last couple of years. I think I was at 187 on my wedding day, so it's really my "mostly healthy stage" in my mind. Obviously if I'm really supposed to be at like 136 (that's a 22 BMI), 187 is way above mostly healthy, but that was the reality I had to accept before I knew what to do about it. Also, when I did Weight Watchers before, I bottomed out at 180, but never went even a tenth of a pound lower than that. Even getting to 180 took me ages and ages longer than any of the other weight.
Since the 180s are so hard for me, I figured I would set myself some temporary incentives to get myself excited. So when I get to 185 I get to have my hair cut. If this happens by Christmas, I might even color it too. It's getting really long, which is great since I've been growing it out, but I've been almost a year since I've cut it and the ends are starting to split. I think my hair has been healthier since I've been starting all this, largely thanks to the multivitamin I've been taking and getting my thyroid under control. Hypo-thyroidism makes your hair really dry and brittle, which curly hair is naturally anyway, so mine was really bad.
Then when I get to 179.9 and finally see a 7 in the tens slot, I get to buy myself a pair of shoes I completely don't need. I figured that was a good girl goal, and hopefully it will get me through this pretty tough stretch.
So there you have it. Success, goals, and hopefully I won't stuff myself like a turkey for Thanksgiving.
