Gargh!
Stepped on the scale this morning and...nothing. The darn batteries are dead. I just replaced them a couple weeks back. I caught my cat sitting on it the other day, I suspect now that it may be a common occurrence.
Breakfast
Nope.
Lunch
12 oz coffee with raw sugar
Dinner
4 oz turkey breast
12 tortilla chips
1/2 cup salsa
20 oz water
12 oz coffee with stevia
No breakfast or lunch today. Woke up with a pretty sore throat and just feeling a bit under the weather. No real appetite to speak of until about 4 pm. Gonna try to get to bed early tonight, instead of my usual 2 am. Gotta go out and see about picking up new batteries tomorrow.

Seem to have hit a snag.
Last year, I began weight watchers in February, at 360+ lbs. I lost weight very rapidly, until about the end of March or so, where I reached 312. My weight leveled off, and I gained back a bit of the 50 lbs I had lost. I stopped doing WW in May, as my work schedule was crazy, and I just wasn't able to take more weight off, no matter what I tried. I tried coming in at my alloted point amount, I tried 3/4 of my points, even tried half a time or two. I stayed more or less the same until October, when I came down with swine flu. Between that and pneumonia, I dropped to 309. Once I began to recover, I didn't watch what I was eating, and I shot back up to 335, at which point I began my current weight loss attempt.
This week, I have just felt off, and periodic checks of my weight have show that, despite eating fairly well and sticking to my WW plan, I seem to be steadily gaining all week. Today, I stepped on the scale, and confirmed it. 319. 5 lbs in a week! I know I haven't been eating enough to account for that.
Earlier today, I was taking my vitamins and using my allergy inhaler when it hit me. My inhaler is a nasal steroid, and I started using it the same time last year. The same week I began having trouble losing. Shit. I also stopped using it some time after spring, which is when my weight leveled off again.
I have to figure this out. This inhaler is the ONLY thing I have found that helps my congestion, other than the now prescription only Sudafed etc. I have no medical insurance, so Sudafed is not available to me. When my allergies act up, I can't breathe right, which means I don't sleep, which makes it VERY hard to watch what I eat. Further, this inhaler is like a miracle drug for me. It works better than anything I have ever tried.
Do I drop the medicine, and try to deal with the lack of breathing? Maybe I can increase my exercise to offset the steroid effects.
Oh well. At least now I have a reason for my sudden halt in weight loss. I can figure this out.
Edit:
Ok, so after my earlier stress and freakout, I rechecked my weight. I made sure the scale was level, and checked my weight three times, with the same result, 317. So, only a gain of about 2.5-2.75 lbs. Not great, but not as bad as I thought. I could be retaining extra water, I have really slacked on my water intake this week. Normally I drink a lot. Of water, I mean. So, more water, and I am going to see if I can do some more exercise. I decided last night to take the rest of the week off of the situp/pushup regimen, and restart next week at this same level. My abs are feeling overtaxed, and I don't want an injury. Have to replace that with other exercise, though.
Slept in late. No breakfast.
Lunch
12 oz coffee with raw sugar
Got busy doing research, forgot to eat
Dinner
12 oz beef round, broiled
1.5 cups carrots
1 bell pepper
I'll be at a bellydance party at my studio tonight, so hopefully the snacks don't prove too tempting for me. We'll see.
Didn't do terrible tonight.
2 tbsp cheese/salsa dip
16 tortilla chips
assorted cucumber slices, carrot sticks, celery sticks
8 oz coffee with raw sugar and fake creamer

Busy day...
Started my own earache last night, so I slept late this morning. As a result, my morning coffee was closer to being lunch. Busy with chamber of commerce and work stuff, then had to do Walmart for a while. A bit off today, but I think fairly well, all things considered. This week has been rough, diet-wise, I am dreading weigh in. I guess, looking at what I actually ate, I did pretty well, but it feels so out of routine...

I need protein...
I know this. I've known this for a long time, that I do much better if I eat a diet high in protein. It was reinforced when I began dieting, because I became much more aware of both exactly what I was putting into my body, and how my body was reacting to the different foods.
I got a reminder this morning. See, last night I ate most of my calories midday, which was fine. However, my late meal was almost purely starch, with no protein to speak of. This morning, I woke up and, how can I put this? I was a monster. I was awful, cranky, grumpy, lashing out, depressed.
I had some protein early on, and that helped, but it took until midday and several protein sources to get my mood back to normal.
Have to remember, I have to eat protein late and night, as well as first thing in the morning. I am simply a much nicer person when I have a good source of protein. Also, being low on protein makes my carb cravings much worse, and nearly impossible to resist.
Breakfast
Ham(4 oz) sandwich on wheat(2 slices)
13 tortilla chips with 1/2 cup salsa
1 small apple
Snack
1.5 oz beef jerky
14 cashews
Lunch
2 oz ham
3 small mandarins
Dinner
Ham(4 oz) sandwich on wheat(2 slices)
13 tortilla chips with 1/2 cup salsa
Supper
2 cups black beans and rice
6 small corn tortillas
Gah! I was so hungry, and decided to give in. Back on track tomorrow.

In which I ramble senselessly...
One thing I have learned, if I am hungry, I have to find something at least somewhat healthful to cram into my mouth, or I will eat something REALLY bad! Which is why I keep about 20 of those darn MetRx meal replacement bars around. If I feel my willpower fading, that's it, my meal is decided. More carbs than I'd like, but it fills the hole in my gut, and has plenty of protein to keep me satisfied until next meal.
Another thing I do(which may not work for you) is I have tons of crap in my house. Seriously, cookies, candy, chips, soda, all of it, it is in my cupboards. For one, I have a 5 year old. So it's gonna be around.
The other thing is, sometimes, I have a craving. Most times, I can ignore it. But there are times where if I don;t satisfy it, I will keep trying to substitute, and end up eating three plates of something, rather than the 12 chips with salsa I really wanted.
Lately, as my diet progresses, I find I have fewer and fewer cravings. When I do, it is fruit, veggies and (always) protein that I crave. I have an entire shelf filled with fruits and vegetables in my kitchen. I go to the local fruit stand every two weeks and stock up. Apples, oranges, mandarins, bell peppers, garlic, bananas, cucumbers, papayas, tons of healthy natural snacks. All of them on a shelf at just below eye level.

Breakfast!
I ate breakfast today.
2 cups Texas Chicken Soup
12 oz coffee with Raw Sugar
20 oz water
And now I have my daughter's illness from yesterday. Thankfully, it seems to be a 24 hour bug, as she is much better this morning.
Snack/lunch
1 medium apple
1 large mandarin
1/2 banana
1 mini bagel with 2 tbls Nutella (bad for me, I know, but I have been resisting Nutella for a couple months, and if I didn't have a small bit of chocolate, I was likely to eat a whole bag of something)
Dinner
MetRx bar-didn't really want this, but I needed to eat something, and I was far too ill to prepare a meal for myself.
1 medium apple
3 strawberries
2 small mandarins

Sick kid
No chance to eat anything so far today. My daughter came home sick from school, so no chance to head downstairs for food, just taking care of her. Hopefully she'll feel a little better soon, so I can grab something quick.
Had some coffee when I first got up, was about to get food, but no luck.
8 oz coffee with raw sugar(didn't get to finish my cup).
HA! Ran downstairs, grabbed an apple! The wife should be home soon, maybe I'll get a break then. Daughter is almost asleep though, so maybe even sooner.
Finally! Mom's home, and I have 2 cups Texas Chicken soup, a carb free turkey sandwich, 1 cup carrots, 1 large mandarin.
Ok, a few more hours, and I had the chance to grab two more large mandarins, and a MetRx meal replacement bar. At east things are spaced out nicely today. We ARE supposed to eat several small meals, right? lol...

Well, not so much progress today...
I didn't sleep last night. I mean, at all. Not a second. Stayed up all night. Had a meeting at 11:30 this morning. Now, I am not a breakfast person, but my meeting didn't get done until after 1, then I had stuff to take care of...what it comes down to is, I didn't eat breakfast, I didn't eat lunch, now I don't want to eat dinner. Too much stress, not enough sleep=no appetite for Byron. Blech.

Weekly weigh in tomorrow....
Pretty sure I am screwed. Had a few rough days this week, being busy and out and about. HArd to stay on track, so I think I will see a weight gain. But, I did pretty good today, logging a LOT of walking, as well as only going over my diet slightly, even with being out and about all day. So, we'll see. If I gain, that just means I have to kick back into high gear to recover lost ground.

The first month...
Weight record:
329.8 lbs-2/1/2010
324.4 lbs-2/5/2010
323.2 lbs-2/6/2010
323.4 lbs-2/7/2010
335.0 lbs-2/14/2010
326 lbs-2/21/2010
323.2 lbs-2/23/2010
322.8 lbs-2/26/2010
321.8 lbs-2/28/2010
320.6 lbs-3/2/2010
As you can see, my first two weeks went slowly, and were completely derailed by Valentine's day. I had been slipping back into my old habits already by then, but that day was the final straw. I was at an event that day, as a vendor, and my wife was performing, so I ended up watching the booth. I had expected to be able to go out for food that day, but what happened was I got stuck there and ate the choice I had available to me, which was hot dogs. Then of course, it was the chocolate and candies and a big dinner..I was headed right back into fatland on the calorie express.
I decided I needed to join WeightWatchers. Again. I lost 50 lbs with them last year, over a period of about three months or so. I kept that weight off for 9 months, until illness and job loss, combined with stress, put me back to gaining weight. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention lack of will power, or rather, failure to exercise it.
No More. I will not allow fat to control me. I will be around when my daughter has children, I will be healthy, and I will not let the flab beat me. With hard work and a bit of luck, by March 20th, I will be under 300 lbs for the first time since 2003. That will reverse 6 years of weight gains. Worst case, I can see it maybe taking until the end of March. We'll see.
