March Weigh In

There is probably a rule (or there should be) that you don't blog when you're in a bad mood (just like you shouldn't text or facebook when you're drunk), but it is my monthly weigh day and so I want to record my results-- good or bad.

March 1st Weigh In: 92.2 kilos (202.8 lbs)
Weight Lost In February: 1.9 kilos (4 lbs)
Total Weight Lost: 37.5 kilos (82.5 lbs)

I was hoping to lose 4 kilos this month, but I only manged to lose 1.9 kilos and it means that I am nowhere near my weight loss goals for my trip this month. I was at least a kilo lighter a couple of weeks ago, but that loss seems to have disappeared.

I worked harder than I ever have this month to lose weight because I was crazy busy at work. So that meant squeezing in my work outs late at night or very early in the morning and often the only time I wasn't at work, was when I was at the gym. Unfortunately, I also ate at least half my meals out due to work committments, which means that even though I made good choices, it was still higher in fat, calories and carbs than I would prepare at home. I ate so much freaking grilled fish at fancy restaurants this month that if I see another piece of grilled fish I'll vomit.

Oh well, that is life and that is one of the reasons I have made changes in my life so that I won't have to work hours like this anymore or have to eat out so often. I just need to remember that I'll be on a beach in Mexico soon!

I did also go and see my lap band doctor today to have a little bit of fill removed from my band to make it more comfortable when I travel this month. I had 5.2 mls and they took it back to 4.8 mls (my band hold 6-8 mls) so that I still have some restriction, but I won't necessarily have so many problems with food getting stuck. The last thing I want on my holiday is to take an unscheduled tour of the public bathrooms in Canada, USA and Mexico!
