Wow, am I bad at blogging. Ugh, I don't want to be one of those people who is constantly apologizing for not posting, though, especially since I post on tumblr pretty frequently. It's just that my tumblr is a lot more like twitter, it's just random thoughts and images, whereas on LJ I like to be a bit more cohesive. Especially since the focus of this journal right now is on my "weight loss journey" or whatever. On that topic, things seem to be progressing pretty well. I "fell off the wagon" there for a while, what with the beautiful weather and all. There's just something about 90 degree days that makes you want to sit outside eating ice cream or something equally bad for you. Plus there's all these summertime deals, like Red Lobster's Seafood Feast which was amazing but it was waaayyyyy too much food and I'm sure it was like 2,000 calories. Actually, let's look that up. I had 3 biscuits, a Caesar salad, a cup of clam chowder, the cajun chicken linguini, and the cinnamon doughnut bites for dessert. I took half of the linguini home and only ate a couple of the doughnut bites, but still, the total meal comes to: 3(150) + 270 + 480 + 1260 + 540 = 3,000. Holy shit, that one meal is literally 3000 calories! Since I ate only half of the pasta and a couple of the donut holes, I still consumed over 2,000 calories in that one sitting. 2,080 by my best calculations. Ugh, that's gross just to think about!!!
Miraculously, I've still managed to lose some weight. Not as quickly as I was before, that's for sure, but I've been really making the effort to work out recently, which has paid off in the form of 275 lbs, so that's definitely some progress considering I was back up to 279 lbs at the beginning of the week. I'm only 5 lbs away from my original goal and I still have like a month left, yay! And I'm going in for my weight loss consultation at the Center for Medical Weight Loss on the 15th, so it would be really great if I could lose a couple more pounds before then. And once I start getting the shots, I'm hoping to see even more improvement! And my mom also ordered Nutrisystem, so I'm thinking if I can even replace two meals a day with Nutrisystem that will be even better!
