Weigh In Six

by JM

130.jpgIt’s that time again – weighing in!

I haven’t gone to the doctor, but I am weighing back in again because I have gone the way of assistance.

Starting weight: 256
Current weight: 254

Yes, I gained a bit of weight back during my time off the scales, but I’m keying in on the pounds lost.

What I mean by ‘gone the way of assistance’ is that I am trying an herbal supplement that is supposed to help you lose weight. Now, I know what most of you are thinking, but it’s herbal first off so I don’t mind giving it a try.

What am I trying? FatBlaster (what a stupid name, I reckon) from Naturopathica. I started it on Saturday.

So far things have been good. I’m a bit thirstier than usual and a bit gassy, but those are the only side effects so far. The thirstier part is a good thing, I think, because it will help me keep drinking enough water.

Today is Labor Day here in Victoria, so I’m not at the gym today, but I plan to get back to it starting tomorrow with more determination than ever.

Who knew two pounds could do so much for motivation?

In the future I hope to get some meal replacement powder so I can start having full, nutritious breakfasts. I love my protein mix cereal, but I think it might be making me tired.

How are you doing with your weight loss? Have you lost any? Gained? Plateau? Are you having troubles with anything? What is your plan of action for this week?

    Sometimes we just need a break and it sounds like yours did you some good!

    I myself am down five pounds. I’m not entirely sure how I pulled that one off but I’m loving it. It’s been two years since I’ve been at this weight.

    I really need to watch my evening/night time eating this week. I’ve been snacking entirely too much this past week and I don’t like it.

    I have been doing fantastic with my water though so I’m going to keep that up.

    Here’s to a good week!!!
