ugh, its that time of the month for me, and so I'm not doing well - I'm so bloated, and it doesnt help that its so humid here this week either. I seem to get more bloated if its humid.
I'm doing ok, food wise, other than the fries I ate yesterday at lunch, and the 3 cookies My engagement ring is normally too big for me, that I have to wear my wedding ring on top of it to keep it on, just barely fits. Thats how bloated I am!
Hi all! Just popping in to say "hello." Hope you all have a good Friday. I've decided to avoid the pizza and just eat my low-sodium ham sandwich on Ezekiel bread for lunch, a yogurt cup and some carrots. Won't be easy, but it's worth it in the end.
Shannon- I would do the same thing. WE have had numerous things here at work and I just eat what I bring instead of indulging. There is cake in the office next to mine right now but I am not going to eat a piece. It has really gotten to the point that this week no one has even offered me anything so I hope this trend continues. There is a girl who works here she lost a lot of weight about 5 years ago and she eats healthy everyday. She just eats veggies while everyone else eats pizza. She says even on Thanksgiving she brings her own food. I dont know if I am that committed but I admire her determination.
This weekend my husband has requested several things for his fathers day meal but I can resist as it is not my favorites but his. We are also going to a cookout at his moms but I will just bring my food there too.
We never eat out and we have eaten out on Wed and thurs nights. I thought I made good choices but I feel so bloated and like I have gained 5 pounds. Lets hope not!! anyway I weigh on Saturday so I am being good as gold today.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and stays on plan.
I can't cut out foods forever- I now enjoy anything in moderation & if I fall off the wagon- I do a self check & then say tomorrow is a new day, because I'm human & boy do I make mistakes.
My arms are dead from cleaning the stall. Unfortuantely I have to do more today. Hey, what the heck. Who needs arms?? I was 185.4 today, good number. I don't expect to lose any more until maybe the begining of July, after TOM. we'll see.
My goal is to be at 125 before I go on vacation to NY at the end of August and then I will indulge a bit! Of course, I'm going to be careful and work off any excess calories I take in. I figure another two months of working hard is worth looking steamy hot in NY and eating that NY pizza and chinese food!
Don't you love it when TOM decides to show up on your WI day?! TOM wi is 266.2 Sorry I've been MIA, nothing has been going on! Just looking for another job and being so tired, I just can't get on the computer.
Good morning ladies. The scales are up a little for me as a result of fluids I got in the ER yesterday morning.... seems my gall bladder was not finished giving me a fit. The only extra fat I ate was mayo in my tuna and that is something I have always done. I had only 1450 calories and 27% from fat, that is just ridiculous, that is NORMAL eating for me. I'll say it again.... can't wait for them to get this thing out of me.
I'm feeling 100% again and I guess will change my diet to very low fat for the next couple weeks. I'm not a fan of low fat diets or food but I guess that is what I need to do. Have a great weekend ladies. Hopefully Monday I'll be back down and not have to take a freebie for the week.
Here are a couple pictures Mack took today of me and Tyra. Sorry so slow in posting these but I forgot. I'm 5'3" and @ 144 lbs. Tyra is 36" at the withers (shoulder) and 147 lbs.
Cruise- That is so awesome!!! She is gorgeous!! All my daughter can keep saying is OMG!!! Last weekend I met one at our 5k run, black and white. It was huge also.
I am going to Chicago with my children. They are auditioning for American Idol. We have no plans for hotels, or where we will eat. We are free flowing. I will be back Monday night. I am posting tomorrow's weight, just in case I don't make it by Monday.
I'll tell ya all about it when I return. Good luck with weigh-in.
Wow. I bought a pair of size 8 shorts yesterday and yes, they fit... however, they are kinda big in the back/butt. So, I guess I've got to take them back to the store. There is just too much of a gap between my lower back and the shorts. Guess I've lost a lot of booty!
Anyone have this issue with pants/shorts? Any recs on types that might work better?
As for me, I've been a certifiable emotional wreck the last few days...and wouldn't you know it TOM hit this morning...UGH! I just can't seem to keep my head on straight lately and I'm not exactly sure why... Trying to hang in there, life just really isn't making it easy right now...

I have a hard time finding pants and shorts when I'm thinner -- if they fit in the tush, there's a big gap at the back lower back.....the one brand I've found that fits really, really well is Chic.
