I had a nice day today. Spent the afternoon with my daughter. We got our hair cut and then had dinner at Subway. We both have relatively long hair, so with this heat it was time to get a summer cut. My daughter has thick gorgeous dark brown hair. All that hair is kind of hot around the neck so she got an undercut. When her hair is down you can't tell but when her hair is up you can see that half the back of her head is shaved. It tickled me to see it, but it looks real cute pulled up in a ponytail.
I got my Jane Adams yoga video and tried it out today. I really like it because I can do every move that she does. And that makes it fun.
Nichols You are in my prayers.
Larry Nice to see you. I'm glad you are doing well!
Diana Thanks for noticing. I am really close to the 180's. Maybe it will happen this week. I will be so relieved. I have been in the 190's for so long it's beginning to feel like it will never change.
eek! 3 pages already!
The past two days haven't been good. Wednesday was my last day of work before vacation, so I wound up buying some wine and chocolate after a very large pasta dinner, then stayed up late and made more pasta and waffles, too.
Yesterday was a train day. The train was over an hour and a half late (this was after already waiting at the train station for an hour and a half due to the bus schedule), then it stopped for an hour due to some broken part. I got into NJ 3 hours later than I was supposed to. So I ate a whole frozen cheeseless pizza when I got to my parents'. Which, other than the salt and empty calories, wasn't that terrible. But after a very large and salty lunch of chinese food, it wasn't good.
I also weighed myself today for the first time since march= 173.2 lbs. So, I'm basically the same. I'm sure I have a lot of water weight on me from the salt and wine, so it's probably closer to the upper 160s.
I'm debating on buying a scale for home, but I don't know if I need it (I'm also not sure I want to spend money on one considering my unpaid internship). What do you guys think? It could be a good way to keep up my motivation and to track progress, but I know it can also get obsessive.
In other news, today is a new day, and I started it right! A 20 minute jog up and down my street and a banana and water for breakfast (I'll probably add some grapes to that). We have a long car ride today and will be eating lunch out, so I want to stay as low sodium as possible for the time being.
I have the day off since we decided to close up today.
Last night I added on: Intense Stretch from Perfect in Ten Stretch
This Morning: Oxycise Level 2 workout
I woke with a lot of edema in my face. Yesterday I noticed some stomach pain coming on (angioedema). I took 1 pill of the prescription I use for this. I usually have to take 3 or 4 to get it under control, once it gets in full blown mode. It calmed down with the 1, so I'm not sure if I overreacted and took one unnecessary. But, yesterday I felt I had the compromised breathing going on and it was especially noticeable during dinner. I even mentioned it to my DH at the time. And then the facial edema this morning, it seems like something is brewing or hopefully it has already peaked. Time will tell. I always feel like I'm a ticking time bomb, waiting for something crazy to happen with my body. So, I am surprised that I had loss this morning, but I will take it.
Calories for yesterday: 1410 +
Weigh In: 172.2
Down: .4
Morning all. Back down to my ticker weight (223) today and within 13 lbs of the "red dress weight." Trying not to be upset with myself for essentially wasting the last couple of months, but am glad I've managed to pretty much maintain. This has been a very slow weight loss this time (30 lbs since Thanksgiving) . . . maybe it will stick.
Diana - I hope whatever is going on has "peaked" and is on it's way out. I'm sure it must be very frustrating.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July weekend. I have a huge "to-do" list of things I want to get done around the house, so hopefully I'll be productive (in between grandbaby times).
Have a good weekend!

had pretty good and clean eating day yesterday, but had vodka shots last night so some water is expected. Holiday weekend, so it isn't like I'm gonna get rid of it before next week, anyway.
not sure about food today - need to go get my truck washed this morning. DH wants to go to the gym so a little later we're doing that. Maybe a walk, too. We'll see.
I'm having that stomach pain again tonight. I'm not sure what's going on with that. I don't usually have stomach pain unless it's from the angioedema or TTOM cramping. I decided to take the prescription that I take for that purpose.
30togo170 Swimming is great exercise and sounds fun!
syckgirlsfv Sounds like you are having the start of a fun weekend.
Magistra Yay for the new DVD! I got another new DVD in the mail today. I can't wait to give it a try.
Kelijpa Good job on the pound! Enjoy your weekend!
Retrorabbit I need a scale, because I have a bad history of gaining weight. Maybe you can measure yourself and gauge by how your clothes fit.
Kris Good job maintaining. It's better than sliding backwards. That 30 pounds is awesome!
We went to dinner tonight. I kept my breakfast and lunch light so I could have a few extra calories for dinner. I ate a bit too much, though. I will try to do a little better tomorrow.
Total Approx 1740 calories +
Breakfast (190 calories + )
Organic Valley vanilla shake
Hey Everybody!!! My weight has stalled...Eating around 1200 calories....thinking about reducing it, but I've heard that women shouldn't have under 1200 calories per day. So, I'm probably going to wait it out and push myself a little harder when I exercise. I wish I had time for personals tonight but, I have an assignment and some reading to catch up on, then my workout....so, maybe tomorrow. Have a great evening and happy July 4th. a little early!!
