Since I went on a backpacking trip last Thursday morning – Saturday evening, I didn’t get a chance to weigh in on Friday. I like to weigh myself the same exact date and time to give myself a fair measurement for the week. So since I didn’t get to do that before I left, I have no idea how much I weighed while doing Nutrisystem for the week. I went out to dinner on Wednesday, so I have a feeling I went up slightly. When I got home from the backpacking trip on Saturday I was 195.5. The dehydrated meals have a lot of sodium in them to keep them preserved, so I obviously retained some water from the food, water, and walking.

I will talk more about my trip on next weeks post.

Look what happens when you stay home or “in” for the week and stick to your Nutrisystem diet plan. I did eat a couple of dinners that I cooked for the boyfriend, only because I got tired of the leftovers going to waste in the fridge from sitting in there for so long. But I know my limits, so I didn’t see anything outrageous on the scale this week.

I partially blame Guild Wars 2 for keeping me in, since it’s a fresh, new game and for actually not having anything planned. That’s a first!! Last month we had crap to do every weekend it seemed like, but not this month, except for Uproar Tour in about 9 days.

Anyways, if I keep the future weeks like this week, I should reach my goal of 40lbs lost in no time and then I can move onto 50lbs and be at my ideal weight of 180. When I was around 170ish, I felt like I had no shape, or behind, or anything, so maybe 180 is perfect for my height and frame.

I went to my first PAX this year as you already knew from my last post about it and I had a great time!! I was a little overwhelmed with everything there but that’s to be expected when it’s a crazy convention full of gaming folks such as myself. There were so many lines for EVERYTHING and I just wanted it to be quick. I compare it to Disneyland. You gotta wait to enjoy the 5 minute ride, or in this case the 15 minute video game preview and swag.

I didn’t do too well food wise since I felt like I was eating when I wasn’t even hungry, but knew that I had skipped out on meals and was basically just full on liquid so I ate anyways. I think I should order breakfast bars at least so that I can take them along with me when I go on vacations, that way I can stick to my Nutrisystem routine at least one meal out of the day.

I knew I’d gain weight, so I wasn’t expecting anything less. Le’sigh. One of these years I will hit 40lbs lost.

I am leaving for Seattle to go to PAX tomorrow, which is a video game convention started by the Penny Arcade. I am yet again not eating Nutrisystem food during the weekend, but that seems to be the norm this summer since I am super busy come summer time. Now if it was fall or winter, you best believe I won’t be having nothing to do but eat. lol

I do plan on visiting the Crab Pot that was featured on man vs. food, but I do not know if I want to bother with getting the Alaskan sea feast (a big bowl of seafood, sausage, potatoes, and corn) since that’s just too much food even sharing with someone else. I do plan on having seafood, so I should be fine during my visit, probably gain a pound or two since we’re going to some after parties where it’s open bar. I can predict the future in that, but I don’t plan on going overboard so that I can meet my goal of 190.

I AM ALMOST THERE WOOHOO!

The beach trip was fun! We went with 4 other couples and 3 of us couples had to sleep in built in bunk beds. Of course all of us females took the bottom and made the men sleep on top. Made for funny nights when you see the guys sleeping on the floor or the couches the next morning because it was too much of an inconvenience to get up and down during the middle of the night to pee after a long night of drinking.

I didn’t drink too much, and by too much I mean getting stupidly drunk, and when we had meals I didn’t over stuff myself. Like one morning I had 1 pancake, a slice of bacon and a side of mixed fresh fruit along with my  naked fruit drink. Even though I didn’t bring along any Nutrisystem food, I think I did pretty well considering. Once the weekend was over, I came back and only had gained 2lbs. Normally a weekend like this I would have gained 4-5lbs because of the drinking and the bad food. I knew part of it was because of the sodium intake as well, so I should be able to get this off pretty easily in the next few days. So as you can see, I am pretty much yo-yo’ing around 194-196lbs. But I know I can get lower, just going to take some
determination on my part!
