Day 7 and Day 8, final days of the experiment.
I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take the bloaty, gassy feelings. I couldn't take the headaches and the heartburn. I couldn't take the way my clothes are (not) fitting. The experiment is OVER.
I weighed myself this morning. I'm not sure WHAT I was expecting but it CERTAINLY wasn't what I saw; 190.0!
Okay, an almost 10 pound weight gain in just a WEEK is madness! I "comfort" myself with the knowledge that I only went to boot camp twice in that time and the only other "exercise" I got was random errand running and chasing after my girls (what little of that there was).
I think back on all the NASTY things I put in my body this week and I want to barf, then cry then barf again (just to get it all OUT!!!). I went from drinking water to drinking diet soda to drinking regular soda. I went from eating a small bowl of raisin bran (primarily for the fiber) to eating BIG bowls (yes MULTIPLE) of Fruit Loops. I went from barely eating any bread, pasta or potatoes to eating waffles, bagels, sandwiches on 2 slices of bread, pasta or pizza for dinner and french fries like they're being discontinued. I went from having a sweet treat every now & again to (I swear) one day I'm pretty sure I ate very little OTHER than treats and candy. *GAG*
So, now I'm SO OVER IT!!! I'm ready to recommit. I'm ready to master physical myself & release all the pounds and fat that I have allowed to drag me down and hold me back. As promised, there will be pictures of myself and my scale tomorrow. I will post regular (weekly?) pictures of the scale as I make me way down to my goal weight. I will be scrupulous in my food tracking and I will be accountable in my intake.
I AM a beautiful, honest, joyful woman of light.

- I am an EXTREMELY happy stay-at-home mom of one boy and three girls. I was blessed enough to marry the love of my life on December 17, 2004. We have been living in AZ since April 2005 & we LOVE it! We can't imagine living anywhere else & are so happy to be away from the snow & cold we grew up with in MT. We also have TONS of family near us so that makes this the perfect place to live!

You can do it!
(and, yes, you are!)
@Bethany~It does stink pretty bad that it came back SOOO fast. Having this week of feeling so awful was good in a way though, I was able to see how I want to be healthy and not just stuff my face all the time!
@Olivia~Thank you, I know!
