Makeover update
Okay first the good news. The 6 week body makeover really really works. I lost 15 pounds in my first week. Now the bad news. I had a freak-out with a job situation and got off plan for 4 days and gained 10 of the 15 pounds back.
Basically it works, but I’m an idiot. I found myself getting more and more irritated as I prepared homemade spaghetti, hamburger steak and a plethera of other yummy dishes for my husband twice a day and then had to sit there while he ate that and I had 2oz of baked chicken.
It’s completely not his fault. It’s my fault. I’m so mad at myself I could just scream. That’s it though. Payday is Friday and I am going through my house and getting rid of everything that is not on plan. I’m not going to feel guilty anymore about not cooking him a 3 course meal. He needs to lose weight too, and he also needs to understand that I’m 150 pounds overweight. That’s life-threatening. As is I’m already so emotionally wounded by it that I don’t want to leave my house or get up in the morning.
I finally found something that works and I have to stick with it. I never want to watch another sitcom and hear “That would be a good size for you” .. um yeah . . .that’s like a size zero on the screen there buddy . . .nice try.
First of all, 15 pounds in one week? HOLY CRAP. Remember something I once heard: The slower it comes off, the longer it stays off.
Also, I can’t believe that the doctor said that about skim milk. I thought it was very beneficial. What about all those campaigns that say if drink 3 glasses a day while on a diet, you’ll lose weight faster? Or is that just for people who have 10 lbs to lose? (Clearly not you or me!)
Wow…15 lbs…15!! Dang. I have his 12 day makeover book that shares exercises and tips…cant remember what was said about food..but sure its in there…guess who’s going back and not just doing the workout…but checking the food section a little more carefully! lol. Good job girl…keep up the good work…scratch that…keep up the super work!! Even with the gain…girl thats 5 lbs that you are down!
Thanks . . . one thing to keep in mind is that a lot of that was probably water weight . . .and another thing is that the milk commercials are paid for by the dairy counsel . .
I was worried about the milk thing too, but I have completely not missed it at all . . .
Also after the 1st week the weight loss is supposed to slow down a bunch . . but we’ll see. I’m starting over on it as of today.
