Austin Pride Parade 2010

Today's Weight: 141.2 lbs
Yesterday's Weight: Unknown, I decided not to weigh myself.


Round 2 Phase 4 Day 9







Last night I actually marched... skated... in my first parade. My husband and kids marched also. They got to ride in a fire truck as part of the Austin Police Department and Fire Department. I rolled with the Texas Rollergirls. In front of 45,000 people. I didn't even fall! It was overwhelming to say the least but I'm glad we were there to support the gay and lesbian community as yesterday was the first day the City of Austin officially backed the event.


I ate my first all natural mango ice pop. Hopefully I skated it off. It didn't really show up on the scale this morning. It was difficult not to eat all the junk food at the parade or at the after dinner invites. I was good and kept to my diet though. However I did eat some chocolate the day before which I didn't notice had some milk in it and I paid for it dearly. So today I ate some DARK 80% chocolate. :)) I'm sure that will end up showing up on the scale tomorrow morning but I REALLY wanted to eat it and strangely enough I haven't craved nuts today. 


I think my problem is always portion control. I eat too much food. When I'm hungry, I eat. I'm hoping that a few more round of HCG will help me control that hunger. I also eat late. I have exercise and derby usually at night and when I come home I'm super hungry. I wish the schedule were different but I can't get around it. If I were to eat before boot camp or derby practice I would surely vomit. Ug! And again, that's great if exercise works for some but it doesn't work for me (as far as losing weight). Eating the right foods ain't the magical antidote either. My husband is under 150 lbs now due to the "right food" I have in the house. He is getting so thin I actually bought him chips and bread. I really hate that. It's so NOT fair. And I hate hearing those health nuts (nuts? Yum) talking about "fat people" just needing to know how to eat right and get off the couches. Oh that makes me mad. 


I'm not a size 4 now but a size 6. Oh well. I can totally see how I could use to lose another 25 pounds for sure. I once that that would be too thin to be in my recommended weight for my height but not any more. You would think a size 6 is thin but no. The weight is on my arms and back. It's odd looking. One step at a time. And it's not about the size it's about the health right?! I keep telling myself to overlook all the 'weight' stuff and focus on the bigger health picture. But it's tough. Even though P2 and P3 are difficult and I can't say I look forward to another P2 round I am eager to see how much weight I can lose. I try not to but it's near impossible. I think all of us shouldn't beat ourselves up for our weight but society is so quick to give you positive reinforcement for your size. "Oh you look like you've lost weight you look great". 


Ok, I'm done bitching. I'm going to try to catch up on all ya'lls blogs today! Thanks for the support and for reading. This wouldn't be as much fun without all of you bloggers/readers out there!
