I'm a little under the weather today and I have a lot on my mind. I woke up with a sore throat and I had drainage all day. The stuff drained into my my stomach so my stomach was upset all day. Not to mention the pressure in my head. I hate allergies and sinus crap. Because my belly hurt and I was hungry this afternoon, I wolfed down a piece of chocolate cake without even thinking about it. Now why did I do that? That was stupid. Oh well I will compensate for dinner the best I can.

So I weighed myself this morning and I went from 207 on Monday to 203 this am. Man, my body is wacked and can't decide on a weight from day to day. I can't take too much stock in it, but it is good to see the scale trending down again. I really think that eating whatever for the last week jumpstarted my body again.

I also talked to my dietician yesterday. She called me to say good job (after I gained 1.5 lbs of fat according to them) so I took the oppurtunity to say "Hey, I'm confused...what should I do". She said to continue following my calorie goal this week and we would re-evaluate Tuesday on my next weigh-in. She told me that I may need a new metabolism test and to set a new calorie range based on that. I am supposed to be done with my program in about a month. I still have about 2 weigh-ins left and a metabolism test. After that I can extend the program at 6 month intervals for a discounted cost.

So that got me thinking..... (and I welcome any advice) if I am going to pay for metabolism tests and bodpods, maybe I should NOT pay to continue the program and invest in a Bodybugg or Gowear fit instead. The major advantage is I would actually save a lot of money by buying a Bodybugg (vs my current program) and I would have the equiv. of daily metabolism testing. Then I could make and maintain my calorie goals based on Bodybugg data vs. a metabolism test every 3 months. I would save a lot of money up front and even more down the road. And I think the Bodybugg would be great for the maintainence phase (when I get there!). There is also a program that goes with it that evaluates your daily burned calories and gives you a target calorie range to eat in. Also, my hubby is a big work-out buff and he is working on becoming a personal trainer in the future. If we got the Bodybugg, after I used it for a while, he could wear it sometimes for a "metabolism check-up" and get in calorie range in check too (although the company advises against that because it compromises their on-line system). Again the savings would add up.

The downfall would be that I would have to wear it all the time. Which I think would be a hassle, but I would be commited to it if I got it. Esp if it meant I could loose weight. What is worse, a black thing on my arm 24/7 or carrying 80 extra pounds of fat on my frame for the next 50years and feeling like less of a person for it.

So I talked it over with hubby, and he is supportive. He agrees that I should drop my current program over the Bodybugg (or at least give the Bodybugg a whirl) because of the cost savings and the fact that he could use it too. I would save $100 right out of the gate by going with the Bodybugg, and if my husband used it instead of getting another metabolism test that would be another $85. And then per year the Bodybugg's online subscription is way cheaper that my current program. My hubby tells me not to worry about the cost of buying a Bodybugg because it is nothing compared to the lifetime cost of being unhealthy.

So...anyone have any thoughts or advice.

Ok I'm back on the wagon. I quit counting calories for a week and took a break. I didn't go crazy, but I just didn't count calories. I figured that if I was eating too few calories, maybe an off week would spur my metabolism again. Who knows. I have a metabolism test coming up in a couple of weeks, so maybe I will get a different calorie goal that will actually help me loose the fat and stop gaining. I think I HAD to be eating too little calories, because I worked out like crazy and ate between 1100 and 1500 kcals/day. So there is NO WAY I could be gaining weight unless I was going into starvation mode. I hoping a new metabolism test will shine some light on my problems. Either way I am still down 5 lbs, and the scale is moving down again this morning.

This weekend kinda sucked. We had some friends visit (a couple) from out of town. They were having relationship trouble, so they fought all weekend. She cried at least once all three days (Fri, sat, sun). It was very stressful for me and hubby. They should have just called and cancelled the visit. I drank some and ate like crap. So of course, coupled with the stress, I felt like crap. But I'm getting over it. I had a food hangover. Ha

I haven't been on here for a couple of days because I have been so pissed, confused, upset, stressed, etc. I have followed my calorie goals to a T for TWO WEEKS. I didn't cheat. I counted everything. I stepped on the scale on Tuesday and I went from 201 earlier last week to 204.5lbs. I wasn't upset because my weight fluctuates so much day to day anyway. And I was thinking "I have been so good, the it just has to be water weight". So I was ok until I weighed in via the Bodpod, which told me I had gained 1.4lbs of fat over the last two weeks. Then I weighed myself on Wed morning and I was 205lbs. I was so discusted I quit my diet for 2 days. I still ate moderately but wallowed in self-pity dessert and I took it out on my husband. I am just SO PISSED because I did everything I was supposed to and I worked my ASS off. I walked 45 mins 3-4 evenings and even did some aerobic videos for 50mins. UGGHHH

I can't figure out why I jumped up so much. I can only figure that I usually weigh at my bodpod during the morning before I eat anything, and this bodpod was in the afternoon after water, lunch, breakfast. But that is the whole stupid point. The bodpod is supposed to differentiate between lean mass and fat, so even weighing more at the end of the day should show up as lean mass not fat. So either I/my body sucks or that bodpod is wrong. And if the bodpod is wrong, then why am I paying for a weightloss program that is not working!!

I just had to vent. I think what I have figured out is that I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP. I will continue eating 1100-1500 calories per day and watch my trending for the next week or so.

So I am picking myself up and dusting off and choosing my attitude.

Its chilly here today. High will be about 78. Hubby and I are going to a state rec area and find this place I have been telling him about for 10 years, but have forgotten where it was. I found out, so we are going to see this really neat little waterfall with a river bed with hallowed out holes that you can sit in. It is too chilly to swim, so we will just get our feet wet and take a nice long hike.

I put my favorite jeans on this morning and they are getting too big. They are baggy in places they have never been baggy before. I loved these jeans, but their days are numbered (unfortunately and fortunately) I guess I will have to find a new favorite pair of jeans because these won't fit and look good much longer. I told hubby that I will have to go to the store and buy the same jeans in a smaller size, but then I realized I got them from Lane Bryant and I might only have one size smaller before I "shink" out of their sizes available. I'm mourning for my favorite pair of jeans, but the good def outweighs the bad. I'm NOT heartbroken to get Lane Bryant out of my life. I also put on a tank top and hubby just raved about it. I am wearing it for him, but wearing a light jacket over it because I am always cold. But the clothes are making me feel good about myself today.

Also we are getting a treat for lunch. The boyscouts in our area have a ham stand every year where they smoke whole hams 24/7. They are out of this world and they sell the ham in pounds or sandwiches. They also cut up the ham and add barbeque sauce (really light bbq sauce, you almost can't see it but you can taste it). OMG sooooo good. So we are going to stop and get a couple of bbq ham sandwiches and pack some other goodies and have a lunch picnic at the park.

Hope everyone have a good holiday weekend!
