I would be less than honest if my weight loss blog didn't include the good, the bad and the downright ugly.
Friday and Saturday were ugly. Not just bad days, but truly ugly. I did pretty well until Friday evening and then I went off the rails in a big way. My bad eating behavior continued on through Saturday afternoon at which point I finally stopped eating everything in sight. I probably only stopped because I was so stuffed that my stomach hurt. I considered typing out everything I ate, but sheesh, it is already embarrassing enough and pretty unbelievable.
I am pretty certain that my weight loss weigh-in on Wednesday (May 11) will be a negative experience. Based on what I ate Friday and Saturday, I'm not sure if I will lose any weight, I could even gain weight. Yes, it really was that bad.
So, trying to turn this negative experience into something more positive, I'm back on track today! I'm currently enjoying an HMR Multigrain Cereal. I let it sit too long so it is no longer hot and it is kind-of chunky. It doesn't taste all that great cold. :-) However, out of all of the things I put in my mouth this weekend, none of it actually tasted that great, after the fact, so I can deal with some cold cereal. No problem!
I'll do some PA (physical activity) later today. Maybe I'll try and do a little extra each day so that the Wednesday weight loss/gain won't be as bad as I think it could be. I refuse to weight on my own scale, because I just don't want to know..
It's beautiful outside today, so off the computer shortly, to the shower, to my shoes and out the door!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteYour progress the first 2 weeks is amazing. Clearly I am not here to give full on advice as my success has been fleeting over the years...but I will say that the ability to recognize the bad pattern and will yourself to get back on track is one of the more important skill sets when starting a new way of living.
Your achievement will come in getting back on track ... the temporary carb induced insanity will not be a failure ... just a hiccup!
Keep it up. It will get easier.

It is good to find a blog by an HMR dieter.
ReplyDeleteI am going for my first info meeting next week.
However, I cannot find ANYWHERE on the internet a mere inkling or hint of the cost of the program at a medically supervised center...any idea how much I will end up paying out of pocket initially
to lose about 40 lbs with monitoring?
It seems to be a big secret.

I just want to say that I enjoy your blog very much. I just started HMR ( I had done it once several years ago and loved it - so I am starting again and happy about it). I agree that your progress is amazing - and the fact that you got back into the box and out of the Gap right away is really great and not an easy thing to do. I look forward to the next post. Thank you again for your posts!

@AM - Hi and thank you for the kind words! New post coming soon. :-)
ReplyDelete@avid - The HMR Decision Free Diet is kind-of pricey because of the medical management component. To date, I've spent $709.34. Wow, that works out to $28 a pound. Some of the weeks are more expensive than others because of medical management fees and class fees. It will get cheaper for me as the program continues (which I will appreciate a great deal). My best guess is that if you are doing the Healthy Solutions plan, you will have the class fee, $20 per class (pay once every 4 weeks, so $80) and then food. The HMR 500 shakes are 36.50 per box. The entrees are $3.50 each and Benefit bars are $1.25 each. Your HMR program will hopefully give you better details at the meeting! Good luck with your program!

ReplyDeleteI'm super annoyed that blogger deleted a bunch of comments. At least my main post is back again. Yay.
