Week 25 252.8

This is my week 25 check in. 

This week hasn't been easy for so many reasons. First of all, I'm still sick. The holiday was this week, then there is Black Friday, which starts the day before now, and today we have a wedding to go to. Strange week to start my 25 week challenge off on.

I don't know why I lose so much at first. I don't think this is the way to go. I have been ravenously hungry to the point that it keeps me up at night. But I'm not hungry in my head, I'm hungry in my stomach which is somewhat easier to ignore. But sometimes I think I have hunger psychosis. I start dreaming about food which is just ridiculous! I hate how my body fights against me even though I'm trying to heal it and do something good for it :(

I think I'm going to include a few more carbs in at least dinner. I've been eating just lean meat and veggies for dinner and it feels like my body is lacking something. What I'm saying is that I'm afraid if I eat too strict that I'm going to go crazy and go on a binge. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

What has really been hard this week for me besides food is exercise. I want to exercise so bad! I'm exhausted from being sick, woozy from the meds, and coughing like crazy which gets worse with movement. I did a little exercising this week before things got crazy busy. I just feel so weak. I want to get to feeling better so bad. I can't hear out of one of my ears which makes everything a blur.

Hopefully, in the next week or two my health will improve to the point where I can go a lot harder at exercise. It gives me energy to do other things in my life and I like that feeling. My range of motion improves as well, and my immune system strengthens. So, there are all kinds of benefits I will get if I can just get well enough to do it.

I've had so many challenges this week, but I know every week won't be like this. I think next week will be easier when I have a normal schedule. You can't beat 7lbs in 5 days, but I know that most weeks will just be a few pounds and that's okay with me.
