Nancy -- The slow going is a good thing!! Glad to hear you're OK with it. It's better that way, at least that's what everyone says! Good luck on WI!!
--------------------------
The scale is back up to 130 (talk about slow loss). We'll see on Monday. I didn't eat a lot last night, but I also don't feel like I have exercised in the past week, mostly due to feeling sick. Today I'm supposed to go hiking, so that will be good! But then there's babysitting in the evening, always a pitfall. No binging!!!
Hey guys!
I have finally lost weight for the first time in months!
I am down 1.2 pounds...
I think I owe it all to my fast. I had a free day, and then fasted the day after. I am going to start doing that every week. It really helps me stay on plan all week, as I don't have the need to binge. The fast really helps me put stuff into perspective.
Other than that, I am still not working out/exercising! The cold weather hasn't really been helping me, as I don't want to go outside to run or walk. I just want to curl up on my couch and be warm.
shrinkinglizzy~ How was your hike? vdaybaby~ Congrats on the loss!!! ifindhope~ HI!
Felt like a long weekend because I didn't have to work the whole time for the first time in forever...
My antibiotics (I have bronchitis) have been cleaning out my system everyday, so I'm a little worried that any loss I may have this week may result from antibiotic side effects and I may just end up gaining next week or the week after...
I had my appointment last week with the specialist in Portland, OR and got good news. He thinks that, since my remission tests are still negative right now, that even if I do come out of remission at some point during the pregnancy, it won't be far enough to need treatment and that he thinks I can make it all the way through without having to go back on the medication. I am VERY happy about that because it means the baby won't be exposed to the medication AT ALL.
Oh and I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks. At the doctor on Thursday I was 182.5 (with sneakers and clothes on) so I'm guessing maybe I am up 12 or so now instead of 10? I should weigh tomorrow morning!
Good Monday Morning. Just a quick flyby for now. Things are hectic at work this morning but at least I have tomorrow off!! Gotta love that - gonna try to get some Christmas shopping done for the grandkids. So far I have 2 done and have 3 to go.
I snuck a peek at the scale at home - which weighs me the same nekkid as the scale at WW with clothes on - and it appears I'm down a pound or so. We'll see when I WI. Think I'll do it tomorrow instead of Wednesday so I can just go home after work instead of late after the meeting.
Better go for now. I'll be back either later today or tomorrow. Have a great day and stay warm!!! It's 23 degrees here and I'm not ready for it!!!!!!!!!!
modkittn~ I'm excited for you! Good news! chiquita623~ I feel you on the weather issue. I walked outside and was pelted by hail, sleet and snow all the way to my car and all the way to work this morning. I love snow, but it makes weight loss hard as I am a big walker.
The day has dragged on with the longest part of the day right now. I run a homework club which is pretty boring as I spend more time trying to control behavior then actually helping with work.
For some reason I feel ill everyday after lunch, it starts about an hour after I eat and continues until I eat something after school. I'm going to try not taking my multi-vitamin tomorrow at lunch and see if that is what is causing the nauseousness... If not that, maybe something else.
Kim - I know if I don't have something in my stomach when I take my vitamin then I get real nauseous too. I've started taking it in the evening when i eat dinner. That and my calcium pill too.
I also have no idea what to have for dinner. Maybe leftover spagetti or maybe just a salad or maybe even a hamburger with sweet potato fries. Decisions, Decisions. I do know that I'm making homemade chicken noodle soup tomorrow. YUMMO!!!!!!!!
Hey ladies. Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Hope everyone had a good weekend. I was sick all weekend (seems to be going around) but it worked out well because I got all my wedding invitations done. It is amazing what you get done when you cannot leave the house. So Wednesday is weigh in day, wish me luck! Last week I was up 1 lb. but it was my TOM so Im hoping I lose that and more this week! Everybody enjoy your day off tomorrow if your lucky enough to have it
Hey guys, I've been lurking a bit, so I figured now's as good a time as any to hop in the fray.
I'm in the middle of an exam block right now (an all day test every MWF for two weeks) and even though I'm only a day in, it's kicking my butt. I'm just glad I have a husband who'll help out with the majority of the laundry and cooking.
Welcome Zen! I've had a few all day tests and wow, they were something else. Good luck with your exams!
There's a lot going on this week, it's been hectic at home but I can't update quite yet. But it's taking all my willpower to stay away from the fast food places. I did reserve some points to have some wine this evening, though. I'm almost at my first 10% goal, hopefully in another week or two.
So my original plan was to do Turbo Jam this morning, but my knee really wasn't agreeing with that idea (I dislocated my knee the last weekend in August), so I went for a walk instead. I hate how my legs always itch whenever I walk when it's cold outside.
Doing good on points so far, I only have 7 bonus points left to get through today and tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I'll be okay.
I'll probably check in again in a bit.
Tonight is my weigh in and I'm not sure what to expect.
I'm still fighting this illness. I've been to the DR., am on antibiotics and nothing seems to be working. My cough is getting better, but I feel ickier and ickier.
I'd like to get my BMI in the 30s this week, if not next week... we'll see...
Hello ladies! I'm up 14 pounds now, a little higher than I want to be. The doc says I'm just fine though, so I'm not sweating it. Now that the first trimester nausea is over, I'm back to eating "normally". I'm getting impatient though. I have a couple of weeks or so until I can feel the baby, and I can't wait! Also, I have a few weeks (4-6) before we find out the gender. They're doing a bigger u/s than normal for me at the 20 week mark since I was still on my meds for a week and a half after I conceived. They think everything should be just fine (is so far) but want to check anyway.
Oh I also haven't really been exercising. I need to get my a$$ in gear and get moving. At least last week when I was in Portland, OR for the doctor's appointment I walked EVERYWHERE. Felt good, too!
Kim - Maybe it is just that time of day? Or maybe something you are eating? Did the nausea go away when you stopped taking the vitamin?
J Diddy - What's your wedding date? Don't worry about the 1lb, TOM always messes things up
Zen - I wish I had a husband who cooked! When he "cooks" it usually means sandwhiches (homemade) or pizza (ordered out). What are you studying?
kestrel - Because I was traveling last week, I got used to eating out. Now I want to go out for lunch every day. Bad idea! I don't have the money for that, and the food isn't good for me. So I haven't gone. I do have a lunch date on Friday with a couple of friends from the old department I worked in here. We should be able to go somewhere where I can order healthy, though
Kim: Being ill and not knowing what it is is no fun at all. Everyone here has been battling the crud for the past couple weeks.
Modkittn: I'm in my 2nd year of pharmacy school. Yeah, he's good. He learned when I was working on my masters thesis(yes, I've been in school forever) that if we were going to have more than kraft dinner or tunafish, he was going to have to make it.
He jokes that he's just practicing for his future career of house husband once I'm done with school and we can start thinking about kids.
Well, I made it through Tests 1 and 2, with only 4 more to go before a whole week of nothing but trashy romance novels, walking my dog, and maybe even a bubble bath.
The cold weather hasn't really been helping me, as I don't want to go outside to run or walk. I just want to curl up on my couch and be warm.
Happy Monday
