Day 253 - As the Tummy Rumbles....

I think that my lower belly must be full of rocks - at least it feels that way. I am definitely F.O.S as things just haven't been working out right for the past couple of weeks. For a good long time, I had a lot of success eating a spinach salad every day for lunch and taking a couple of colace, but it seems like the charm of that has worn off, despite increased fiber and water as well.

I've gained (are you getting this - GAINED???) seven pounds in a week and a half, but at least three of them came back off, leaving me at 195 yesterday morning.

Husband and I have a new hobby - woodcutting. No, we aren't carving, but rather we have been selling firewood. He does most of the work during the week as his job gives him a lot more flexibility than mine, but we're out there every weekend getting a load or three, and I took off a day last week just to go cutting. It's funny to me that things that were so heavy just a month or two ago are now getting plumb light, and it is so easy to drag things around that used to just plain herniate my fat ass. LOL I've put on a decent amount of muscle, and I realize that is partly responsible for the weight-loss slowdown, but I sure would like to see the scales move again. It seems that I have been stuck forever.

On the bright side, this past month I bought my first size 14 jeans since I was in JUNIOR COLLEGE. Yay! While I hope that this isn't "it", I sure am glad to be here than where I was a year ago.

Highest weight: 294
Weight yesterday morning: 195
Weight last week: 191
Current size: 14/16
