So, I didn’t lose any weight this week, (Disappointing) and in fact ended up putting a pound or two back on. (Also disappointing, until I realize your weight can fluctuate up to 8 pounds a day depending on what you eat.)

Still, I’m getting back on the right track, been eating a LOT of rice and beans. Complete proteins for the win! Also trying to keep the fat content and sugar content low, while doing more walking. My back hasn’t hurt this bad in a LONG time. Feels like someone is stabbing me in the back, even when I sit or lay down. I would have thought the pain would lessen as I lost weight, but the opposite effect seems to be happening, and in fact I’m finding it harder to get up and walk since my belly is starting to lose the fat, but leave loose skin behind. Still, it’s good for me in the long run, and I know I’m going to have over a hundred pounds of flesh for them to cut off of me when I finish losing the weight. Honestly, I can’t wait.
