Did okay on the WE & D yesterday. Went over on my calories, but I think that was more about getting rid of a tempting chips rather than really being hungry. I just wanted them out of the house and there wasn't that much left. So I ate about 1700 calories for the day, still much less than I have been eating lately.

I love the D in weed. And doing this daily. I stayed awake until 9:00 but that was amazing considering I had an awful headache and sleeping is often the only thing that will help.

I am curious, do any of you consider liquids like tea as part of your water intake? Sometimes it is hard for me to get my 64 oz of water in even though that is the only thing I drink besides my tea in the morning.


Today's WEED:

W - 64
E - 45 minutes of walking on treadmill (done)
E - 1200-1400 calories
D - spend some time on sewing project I need to put a dent in


Have a good WEED day everyone!

Haven't been here for a few days. TOM kicked my butt and I think I am ready to go get it all removed. My docs all want me to anyway, since I have this cancer gene thingy. I might be ready.

Was hoping that now that TOM has passed through I would lose some unsightly fat. NOT YET!! Dang. I have been all the way up to 190.2. There...I said it. It is ugly and more than I ever wanted to see again. Oh where oh where did the 170's go???

I just came in from a 3 mile walk/jog. Haven't done that in quite a while. Take that, unsightly fat!!! I'm getting pissed here.

PG, I do count my green tea! I do not count diet soda or any of that, but clear tea, absolutely for me! I love the D too. Makes me look for a positive in each day.

Mindy, I go back to the Dr tomorrow and that's what we are chatting about too...whether the rest has to come out. I just got back to running too, helps me if I can stay with it. Loved what it did for my legs and butt when I was running regularly.

Dottington, hope the PT session went fabulously!!

W 100
E Crunches!
E Did great today!
D I choose to be the best I can

mtiger-sorry you had such a hard time with TOM I'm sure you can make it back to the 170s! Keep it up!

popcorngal-I look forward to the D too

mavis-thanks! Yeah I love my pt sessions and really look forward to them now!

W-80
E-hiking!
E-1800
D-One day at a time!

W 100 almost, will finish up tonight.
E C25K, week 3, back to say, done!!!
E POP and done!!
D Good choices!

Yesterday's WEED went very well. Plus I even stayed up until 11:00 and woke up at 5:00. Just where I want to be on my sleep schedule. I'm expecting a headache with change in barometric pressure today so I may not make it to 11:00 tonight but I won't go to bed before 9:00.

The good news is I worked over three hours on my sewing project. That still leaves a lot to be done but I passed a great turning point on it and hope that the rest will be a little more efficient.

Mindy - I had a hysterectomy eight years ago at age forty and I don't miss TOM at all. It is so nice to not have to deal with all of that. I still have my ovaries so my hormones still wreak havoc with my diet and I need to be more conscientious about paying attention to the signs since I don't have TOM to mark the calendar. It takes a while to make a decision like this because any surgery is always scary. I can answer any questions if you have any.

Mavis - thanks for the info on the tea. I guess I will start adding that into my water intake. I am not much of a natural drinker of fluids so once I make an effort to monitor my daily intake I find I spend my life going to the bathroom. I must have a small, weak bladder. LOL

Dott - are you going to a physical therapist? What kind of injury are you fighting? "Looking forward" to the D in the WEED is a good way to put it. I try to make it non-diet related but something small and achievable so I feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. I think that is why I like this thread so much.


Today's WEED:

W - 72 (included the morning tea)
E - 50 minutes of walking on treadmill (done)
E - 1200-1300 calories
D - spend more time on sewing project


Sending good WEED vibes everyone!

popcorngal-actually pt stands for personal trainer I'm so lucky not to have had any injuries!

W-80
E-rest day
E-1800
D-practice!

Mindy, I am with you too. Went back to the Dr today, have one final test, Tuesday, but looks like I am back under the knife soon as well. What they did in August works on 98%, but apparently I am one of the 2%, so they are thinking total hysterectomy coming straight at me. At least it validates the pain, weight gain, depression etc I have been dealing with

On a good note, she put me on Wellbutrin XL for the depression which is supposed to at least, not cause more weight gain. Hoping!

Happy Thursday to all!

W 100
E Crunches, maybe some WII tonight!
E POP
D Love yourself enough to do what's best for you!

Yesterday's WEED went well for the most part but my body was plain tired. Hit the bed at 9:30

I am feeling the pain in my ankle this morning so I had to cut the treadmill short and ice my foot afterwards.


Mavis & Mindy - I am sending good thoughts your way on your possible surgeries.

Dott - oh duh - personal trainer. I guess I am still too focused on my injury to think beyond the usual abbreviation.


Today's WEED:

W - 72
E - 45 min walk on treadmill (done)
E - 1200-1300 calories
D - hit the sewing project as much as my body allows, too much bending over the machine is giving me a stiff neck


Have a good WEED day everyone!

mavis-so sorry all that you've gone through! I hope it all works out with the surgery!

popcorngal-haha its fine how is your injury doing by the way?

All my students canceled today boo But that means I'm going to Disneyland! haha I have a pass and its great exercise! Also figured out why I've been all depressed/starving/having issues staying within my calories....TOM ugh!

W-100
E-walking all day!
E-1800
D-don't give into the cravings!

MM- I say let's just go for it and get it done. I know I'm tired of messing with it. Because of my cancer gene they want to take it all. So..instant menopause for me. My biggest fear (let me whisper this) is sex. I am a newlywed after all and that whole "dryness" thing scares me. TMI??

Today was a low, low day for me. I thought I would lose a little, but instead I gained How?? No clue!!! I am truly at a loss right now. Just bought a new book by Jackie Warner. Gonna see what she has to say about the whole thing.

On top of all that, I think I've injured my shoulder. It has been hurting for weeks now. Think I will have it checked out on Sat.

So of course weigh-in couldn't be today, when I lost 2 pounds. How does this happen. I had Burger King last night..crispy chicken sandwich and a handful of fries. Does this mean I should eat like crap more often???

Did last chance workout last night..always a good butt kicking there.

Happy Friday girls!!! Gonna get some stuff done this weekend. We have a bathroom to finish.

Yesterday's WEED was successful.

Gonna attempt to make grilled fish tacos tonight. Went online to see the ingredients at the Mexican restaurant where I like to get them. I have been craving them since Tuesday and today is a "fish" day for us being Lent. But I didn't want to go to the restaurant and gorge on chips and salsa, so I will try to get as close as I can to the taste. I looked up some recipes online for zesty yogurt sauce so that will be the biggest challenge. I will experiment to get the taste I am trying to achieve.

Dott - today was my last day at physical therapy. She was pleased with my progress. I go back to the orthopedic doctor in three weeks. I still feel a little pain on days but that is normal. BTW I love Disneyland and so do my sons. They live out in California so they have season passes. My favorite ride is Splash Mountain. It was being renovated when we were there last Easter. Oh, and I bought a POPCORN hat with mouse ears when we were there. I saw a little kid wearing one in California Adventureland and had to have one. It was the first thing we did when we switched theme parks. LOL

Mindy - TMI information on the dryness? Probably for elsewhere, but not here. LOL I am not a newlywed, we have been married 27 years, but as I am approaching menopause (still have my ovaries) that can be a problem sometimes - and it really ticks me off. There are lubricants you can try.


Today's WEED:

W - 64
E - 30 min walk on treadmill
E - 1200-1300 calories
D - the sewing project continues, but making it my D for the day forces me to work on it.


Wishing everyone a good WEED Friday!

Well I don't post much been busy being stressed. I ain't been weighing, exercising, or eating right lately.. All my fault because I let myself stress eat... I am going to try and stay on plan this week..

I am had a pretty good day today and am loving life. Thankful for everything I have just stress about not having a job and all the bills that are due and trying to get school work done..

I will try and read everyone post prob tomorrow..
Hope everyone have a good weekend.

Mindy, I am with you. Both my Gram's died at 50 of female related cancers. My Mom had to have a hysterectomy at 29 and my Aunt at 30. I am 45, done with those parts and they are giving me way too much trouble, so take em away!! As for the other, I agree, don't worry about TMI here. I bought a little sample 6 pack of different lotions and such at WalMart. Might spice things up nicely Mrs. Newlywed! Look back by the feminine stuff. If you are too shy to buy in store, drugstore.com has great choices and ships discreetly. Sorry about the weigh in, you are doing everything right, look how far you've come, you know what you do works!

PG, yum, how'd they turn out? Glad you are done with PT!

Dottington, I have never been to Disneyland, but sounds wonderful!!

Barbie, Glad to see you! Hope things keep getting better!
