Yo-yo no more

Halloween Goal:

Ultimate Goal:

Well… I lost 1 entire pound this week!

I’m actually pretty happy about it though.  I believe that “the bloat” from TOM coming is a part in me not losing more.  I’ve done really well this week with not going over my WW Points, not eating after 8:00PM, exercising daily, etc.  Yet, the scale still reads the same exact number it read on Monday when I sneaked-a-peek.  But, I’m still happy…… why? you may ask….

1) I’m OUT of the 2-TEENS!!!!!!! That is VERY exciting!!!!!
2) A pound lost is still a pound lost.  I didn’t gain… “the bloat” didn’t cause me to go up 5 pounds like it did last month.
3) All the hard work I put into it this week, plus all the hard work I’ll put into it next week, minus “the bloat” (which should be gone by Wed. or Thurs.) should mean one heck of a weigh-in next Friday!

I’m still on for my Halloween Goal  

I haven’t given up on it, nor will I (unless I’m still sittin at 212 the day before Halloween, then it would be time to reconsider…haha!

 So, I’m happy with today’s weigh-in.  It isn’t quite the 210 I hoped for - but game still on!

My goal for this week is to not step on the scale again until Friday morning!!!  I’ve been getting on the scale every single time after I go to the bathroom (we keep the scale in the bathroom)… it’s almost an obsession.  So, I need to break myself of that and save up the anticipation for Friday.

and ta-da….  symtoms of an impending anxiety attack are here! yay!  Again, this is just me making a note of it on here.   I’m trying to see if there is a correlation between TOM (and ovulation times) when hormones are at their wackiest - and my anxiety attacks.  So far, there seems to be.  Interesting…..very interesting.  Indeed.

 Symptoms - started by feeling like a small child was sitting on my chest (no pains involved, no irregular breathing), I checked my pulse…. normal.  From that - I felt that tingly sensation in my head.  Now, I’m wondering if I’m dying of a heart problem (I should NOT have read news story about Isaac Hanson having surgery to remove a blood clot yesterday….. I’m SUCH a hypochondriac!!! Wonderful world of anxiety… how I love you so!

ETA: Well…. no wonder my anxiety attacks were coming full steam yesterday.  TOM didn’t wait til Monday to appear - he came last night!!!!!  Could my “wishy-washy” cycles be causing my hormones problems and causing hormone-induced anxiety attacks???? I will be bringing this up with a doctor.  I’ll give it a couple more months to see if the pattern continues.  I would think the only thing they could do for that would be to put me on some sort of Birth Control and I’m NOT going there again!  I hated Birth Control when I was on it…. but, who knows….. just glad TOM came today!  My bloating should be going away by mid-week. 
Today…… we’re going to the fair!!!! CORN DOGS HERE I COME!
