I missed you guys yesterday -- I was going non stop from 7am to 10pm and did not get my exercise in, and therefore could not check in here. Today I did it though (I decided to start walking to my local transit terminal instead of driving), so I'm back and ready to catch up!
I am so happy to see February go, I am up 3+ lbs since starting the month and I think FEbruary sucks, and I sucked in February. I feel like I didn't do anything majorly out of line, but I just have been gaining and gaining for the last 3-4 days through this TOM and I haven't been sleeping well at all. Bring on March, I'm so ready for it!
Diana -- Our temperatures here are just above or below 0 (in Celsius) I'm not quite sure where that lands in Fahrenheit, but I would guess around 30-40F. I am keeping your mom in my thoughts and prayers and hoping for the best possible outcome. Diana, I think I'm experiencing the restlessness you mentioned during your last TOM...I'm sleeping only 5-6 hrs a night for the last 3 nights, I'm completely wiped out. If I wake up in the early morning I just can't get back to sleep...so frustrating. I'm sorry about your gain today, I'm sure it's from your lack of sleep and a bit of stress over your mom. I'm so sorry about her possible leukemia diagnosis; I hope you get to sit in on the appointment so you can understand what's going on and how it should be treated. Hopefully she'll be willing to have the treatments.
I know this must be scary!
Kris -- Good job on your losses for February!
Julie -- Amazing loss yesterday, you must have been over the moon!
Kelly -- Congratulations on your 1lb yesterday!
Amanda -- Good job on your exercise yesterday
Ona -- Sorry to hear you are holding some water weight; I did find it weird to be having a second TOM in February, since it's such a short month, but c'est la vie. That's life. It was good for me to read what you wrote to Jinky -- I think I've been kidding myself with carbs this week. I know that when I eat too many carbs, regardless of my overall calories, I just don't lose weight. I think I just go back to it because I get a bit tired of the stuff I'm eating, or of not eating some things, and each time I hope it will be different, but it won't be -- I won't be able to do this until I get to maintenance. Okay, back on my phase 1 plan tomorrow....here we go again...
Jinxy -- Congratulations on your whoosh!
Rennie -- I'm so glad you are back, I've missed you! I already started a March thread on the weekend, though I like your thread name better
