Morning, Chicks!
Mama, I feel you, girl! I'm hoping to dash through the cold to our nurse center for a check on my fat % and sugars (in case Type 2 diabetes has hit...
). I need to figure out what the heck is going on!
I hope your ob/gyn can help you figure this out, and I'll keep you in my prayers!!! Regardless of your weight, with all the exercsie you are doing, you'll definitely be in better shape for Peru!
Glad you are writing...I was
longing to write yesterday but have no time!
Bamie, what a good daughter you are!
Hope that the wallpaper comes off more quickly and provides good stress relief!
Chipper, good reminder about inches.
I lost three pounds last month total, but I did lose about 6.5 inches in the last month and a half.
DH had allergy shots for years. His dad used to take him and they'd go get ice cream after. Could you maybe start a ritual (not involving food!) for your GD? Maybe a swing by a park or a trip to mini golf...or just a special coloring book or making paper dolls...playing with play dough? I'm sure you could think of something special that you two do only when she goes for her shot...
Geekchick...have a
great day!!!
Nally, congrats on wanting to exercise!!!
That is GREAT news! I know how amazed I was when I felt that way! I
love Jazzercise...
it's so much fun!
Ah, Ruth, I'm so sorry it's such a crazy morning!!!
I hope this afternoon is nice and calm to make up for it.
: I don't know about you, but when the dog is barking or the bunnies are chewing the sides of their enclosure, it really increases my anxiety. I feel so rushed!
I hope you can ignore it better than I can!
Me:
Oy! That's all I can say. I got to my car last night after class and knew I had to rush home to let the dog out...she had been kenneled up since 12:30 that afternoon, and it was then 8:30 p.m.!
Poor pup! DH wasn't able to let her out last night like he usually does. I had frost on the inside of my car windows (don't you hate that?) and I did my best with the ice scraper on my side and just backed up...and hit a parked car.
I damaged their bumper and put a dent and a bunch of scrapes in mine.
So I need to go get an estimate and we have a $500 deductible. DH is not going to be pleased...
This morning I ended up with 222 again. I've been on a course of stool softeners and metamucil for the constipation, I'm guzzling water like a fish, and I'm eating the same stuff I normally do. In fact, I feel hungry much of the time...last night my stomach was even growling!
I'm just at a loss. I am eating a lot of food, so I doubt that's the problem. Here's my menu (just in case):
Breakfast:
1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese
1 cup grape tomatoes
shake of Lawry's salt
8 oz skim milk
Morning Snack:
1 cup FF plain yogurt
1 Tbsp SF apricot jam
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
Lunch:
3-4 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup shredded red cabbage
3 big spears broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup-1 cup grape tomatoes
1/4 pound lean roast beef
1 oz shredded red-fat cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp (might be 3?) Bleu cheese dressing
2 Tbsp soy nuts
SF Jell-o
2 Tbsp Cool Whip Free
Afternoon Snack:
Braeburn apple
2 Tbsp natural PB
Dinner:
1 Carb Conscious WW bagel (I checked the ingredients)
1 chicken breast
1 slice full fat American cheese (I know...I was eating in the cafeteria at school)
handful iceberg lettuce
1 Tbsp Mayo
1 Tsp mustard
Salad (romaine, cauliflower, chickpeas, tomatoes, sprinkling of full fat cheese) w/ 2 Tbsp bleu cheese dressing
1 cup cannelini beans with green peppers and onions
Dessert:
1 slice splenda cheesecake with blueberries (no crust!)
2 Tbsp Cool Whip Free
