So I'm a little frustrated this week. First of all being in a flair up with my stupid Fibro and APS... So I hurt, and I'm just tired all the time.
Also.... I made it up to 3.0 with my saxenda. Stayed on that for I think about 2 weeks. In that two weeks, I have only lost two pounds... I really want to keep myself at that 2lbs a week. So yesterday I did as the doctor suggested and I brought myself back down to 1.8. Hopefully, this will work.
I have no idea of having a flair up is affecting my weight loss. I do know that saxenda has helped me a LOT with my sugar cravings but this past week and a half since I started flaring up I am craving sugar. It's driving me crazy. Luckily the only real thing I have in the house now that is sugar is freeze-pops.
I'm sure I should stay away from the frozen sugar water as well but they help to get me past the cravings. I still am not hungry often, but last night I was able to eat more than I normally am able to, however, it made me feel sick after. I know from past experience that when I flair up I crave things. I don't know if that is a physical thing or a psychological thing. It very well could be a psychological thing because when you feel drained, can't do much, you are in lots of pain and start to feel a bit down well depression makes you crave sugar too. Heck just going on antidepressants finally this year made me lose 10lbs.
So I guess I'm not sure where this leaves me. I'm trying very hard not to be upset that I'm not really losing weight at the moment and not beat myself up over it. I honestly don't feel like I'm eating a lot more than I was. In the past two weeks, I have had a pint of Ice cream that took 3 days in all to eat. It didn't even just sit and eat the whole pint. I cupcake with out the frosting at a grad party and freeze-pops. Oh yeah and a couple of suckers. But I'm not over eating sugar at all. If that is the bulk of the sugar I have had in two weeks that isn't bad and I should be beating myself up over it because almost every other thing I'm eating is healthy.
I will say I'm still struggling to drink as much water as I should. Water is pretty much all I drink so I have always thought I was doing great. But if all you drink is a bottle and a half of water a day I'm clearly not getting enough water into my body and I need to fix that!!! So I'm making that a new goal. I am going to make my first goal to get two bottles of water a day in. .Still not enough water I know because that is only 32oz. But once I can get myself to that I will up it again. I think it's recommended to drink 64oz. I don't know if I can ever get to that but it's really only 4 bottles of water so if I look at like that, perhaps I can.
So drinking water more might help the lbs to fall off faster as well and it might clean the toxin out of my body first and help me along... Hoping. My other struggle. Breakfast. I just can't seem to do it. I have protein shakes I got from Costco to drink for breakfast. But since I don't drink much lol.... I get one out and it takes me over an hour to finish it. So second goal... To work on the breakfast thing. Either a shake or something in the Am to get my metabolism boosted. So this week's goals. Water, breakfast. I got this!!!!
I guess if anyone is reading this. Which I don't think there is.. Stay tuned to see if I can achieve those goals and kick this weight loss thing in the ass.
