I have only myself to blame!
A bit dramatic, but I have taken a step back, and I do not like it! I have an up-blip to 383.4 lbs today. I did it to myself, and I knew I was doing it. I did it anyway. It's not a bad one, and I hope I don't have to suffer a plateau or a graph wobble like I did at the beginning of this month. I blew my target of losing ~18 lbs by the end of the month, and I'm scared to see how blown it is. Only time will tell.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 383.4 lbs ⇧
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs
There are a few things that contributed to this up-blip. My husband is super sweet and really supportive. He has to remind me daily to stop obsessing about my caloric intake. But the problem is that I can't. When I take in too many calories, I either don't lose as much weight as I'd hoped, or I suffer an up-blip like I have today. He brought home a Starbucks's Pumpkin Spice Latte (in a bottle) after going grocery shopping, and he did it because we had been talking about it lately. He'd never heard of it, or the meme surrounding it. He thought of me, and that was lovely.
It was a total of 280 calories for the bottle. I drank half of it. There is half still left for me in the
refrigerator for later. This isn't what caused the up-blip. Not this all by itself. In addition to that, I decided that I would made tamales today. To make tamales from scratch I have to d a lot of tasting. A little tasting can't hurt, but I also decided to eat a normal meal, too.
What I should have done is forego all meal-eating in lieu of the "meal" I was getting just from tasting. I made some of the pork carnitas I made into burritos for us. I had a half of a burrito, and my husband had two-and-a-half burritos as is the norm. I didn't need to eat that half burrito. It was so good, though.
I had spent a good amount of time walking around the Walmart the night before, and I felt I might've burned off some calories and could afford a little splurge. In fairness, I did burn off, like, 300-400 calories. And I think I need to drop off some treasures for the porcelain fairy. So these are the many things that have contributed to an up-blip today. It's not terrible. I'm at the weight I was two days ago. I didn't go back in time, like, 10 days. This is a manageable up-blip.
Tamales are worth it graph:
Interestingly, my husband has been hovering around 240 lbs this whole time I've been dropping my weight, and he realized today that he's eating 5 times the amount of food I am. He has decided to try the Shangri-La Diet. He will do it so long as I do all the thinking and planning and just tell him what to do. I can do that. I have gotten pretty good at this. I was thinking I may document his journey alongside mine just for funsies. He will start when we get home from work.
