wtf?

STILL gaining. I dunno. wtf? I gained .7 more pounds. I wasn't that bad over the weekend. I don't think anyway. I think the food/exercise ratio is needing to balance out. I can eat a little more now than before, not much more, but some. I definitely don't think it was yesterday's eating that added the additional .7 lbs.

Here's what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - 1/3 cup potato salad
Lunch - 1/4 cup (or less?) potato salad
Snack - 1/2 Fiber One bar
Snack - 1 slice of American cheese
Snack - 10 oz. Nesquik Choc. Milk
Dinner - 4 meatballs, 2 tsp elbow mac noodles *

* I also had a small piece of bread, that I ..uh... chewed, but didn't swallow. I really like garlic bread, ok?? :P

So I think the worst thing I had yesterday was the choc. milk. But not enough to cost me that much in weight. I guess though, with having only been able to eat a few tablespoons of food at a time for the past couple weeks, it makes sense. My body was in starvation mode, which is probably also why I was trying to eat everything I could stuff in my face last week. It's better this week though. I no longer feel like I'm dying of starvation. I am eating a little more though, so I'm probably going to have issues with weight loss till it balances out and my body realizes it's not starving anymore. The doc did say that my goal is about 1 cup of food 3 times a day, and I think for the most part I'm still below that. And, the choc. milk is not something I have often, well, to be truthful it was before surgery, but I have tried to stay away from liquid calories outside of karaoke night.

Besides that, in NSV's I'm down to size 18/20 from the 22/24 I was wearing. It's good cause I have a few clothes leftover from that size, and they're much cuter than what I was wearing. I came home yesterday and my daughter asked me why I was "dressed up". lol I explained about the old clothes thing and she got it. The jeans I'm wearing now I think are a 20. They could be an 18, but the tag is all worn out, so I can't actually see the size. I have some that are definitely 18's that I can put on, and zip up, but they're too tight to wear in public. That and I think they only fit because they're stretchy. I'm guessing 10-15 more pounds down and I can wear them. If I can get past this stupid hump in weight loss. I shouldn't say that. I know I can. I just have to keep going and not give up.

I think my exercise today is going to be walking + DDR (dance dance revolution) later. My exercise yesterday was a long walk. Tomorrow it's back to running. Today is laundry day, and all my workout gear is getting washed, otherwise I would have run today.
