R4VLCD11 - 160

Weight: 160

I am very pleased that I dropped a pound, but I have been freezing this entire week!

Is it the diet?  Is it my thyroid medicine?  Is it that it’s been cold the last 3 months?

I don’t know, and frankly, I don’t care!  I’m tired of being cold!

I don’t mean “put on a sweater” cold, I mean downright dead-body cold.  No, really!  I try to warm up before I touch my husband, so I don’t put him into shock.  The only way I seem to be able to get warm is to touch a human body, a warm teacup, or steal heat from a puppy.

Sigh.

Blood pressure has been up, too, but there are several factors: stress, lack of sleep, minimal exercise, and probably my thyroid medicine needs to be lowered, now that I’m down almost 50 pounds.

I’m not one to complain about the weather, but I’m sure ready for Summer!

R4VLCD9 - 161

Weight: 161

I was pleasantly surprised when I got on the scale this morning…161…although I could tell that I was probably lighter before I even weighed myself.  Bittersweet:  only 4 more pounds to reach my lowest weight from the last round.

I’m feeling very good, I have lots of energy and haven’t been very hungry the last couple of days and getting in all my water.  I even took a walk yesterday.  It was raining today so I didn’t want to go out in it.

I had a very stressful day at work but I did NOT succumb to the chocolate that someone brought into the office!  I keep reminding myself that I am 15 pounds away from goal weight, without any wiggle room if I am to do a short round, although only having to do a short round would be a bonus and not something I’m counting on.

Most days are not as stressful as today was, but something will always come up, so I need to figure out some effective measures to deal with these sorts of situations.  Exercise is a fabulous way to work off steam, and I remember many 3 hour long workout sessions.  I don’t want to commit that amount of time any more, but that is a great outlet.  If I could just get over not wanting to be rained on….
