Today is day 2! I woke up with a headache, I'm totally not shocked about that though, all this lack of sugar definitely is getting to me. Soon my body will adjust and I'll be able to function normally.. lol. It's also possible that I'm coming to accept my fate of no more sugar/wheat.

Courtnie - I always have issues with doctors, they never really answer what I want.. especially with weight loss! Hopefully all works out will the pill, or rather without the pill! Make sure you are protected, although a little courtnie running around could be cute

Shari - that is silly, a sore back isn't fun! I might need to luck with SBD! I am not fully following it - or I might be... but I haven't gone over phase 1, so I could be doing a variation of it.

I am off work today, and it's super sunny out Josh and I are going to spend some time together - he's going out tomorrow night without me, so yah. I just found out today that it's a guys night out, no girls allowed! Damn boys! I was kind of looking forward to a night out with some drinking and dancing! I need a GIRLS night, I just need to meet some girls.. lol. One of my good friends is gone for 6 weeks, she's the one I usually go out with too. Anyways, thats my vent for the day!

-Aimee

Aimee- I hope your body is able to adjust quickly to the sbd. You are a very strong gal ditching sugary foods. Well, with Josh at the boys night why not go shopping or call someone you haven't chatted with in ages. I love getting caught up on my friends lives. Since usually I don't have lots of spare time to just sit and chat.

Shari- I hope your back getting to feeling better soon. I feel almost new since I went to the chiro this morning.

Courtnie- Good luck with your sale tommorrow! I worry about family finding me posting online too. I just decided that me getting healthy is more important than worring about them. They can already see how fat I am. My family and irl friends doesn't know I'm doing wwers. I hope going off the pill helps you.

Thanks for the congrats. I hope this week is just as good. I went out to eat at a buffet for lunch. I got one meal plate not full with 3 different vegetables on it. I got a smaller plate 1/2 full of fruit. After doing so good with that then I get a slice of pecan pie with cool whip on it and almost eat the whole slice. Oh, well at least I mostly controled my eating there. I did alot better than I would of a year ago. I've just got to be careful with what I eat tonight. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

hsmomx2-Congrats on your WI!!! way to go on your eating. I wish I had that much self-control. Especially at a buffet. But you seem to have a good grasp on things so I'm sure you'll do good the rest of the day. Btw - have you been hearing that gas will be going up to 5 bucks tomorrow here in ATL? I'm scared about that. Money's tight as it is. I really don't want to have to be worrying about having gas to get to work .

aimee - do you feel good inside? I mean without all that sugar, you must feel somewhat great, right? I'd so like to try SB, but the withdrawal part is kind of scary to me. I'd probably go on a crazy binge if I was restricting certain foods. Maybe later on when I'm way better at the eating part I can try something that disciplined. Girls nights are fun!! I so need one. But I only like them with my friends back in CA. I don't have any friends here .

courtnie - ditto on being careful without the bc. I wish I was more careful. I'm not on any right now and i crap bricks everytime I'm supposed to start and I haven't (like right now!!) thats the last thing I need right now. Did you talk to your gyno or your regular practitioner? What a butthead if he didn't want to discuss your concerns. maybe its time to find a new doctor. good luck at your garage sale. Hopefully you make some major bucks so you can buy yourself something nice.

shari - stay positive about the job. Everything happens for a reason. You didn't get this one, so theres something bigger and better waiting out there for you. sorry about your back. Back pain from sleeping uncomfortably is a big PITA (i love this acronym!! lol) hope it feels better!!

Ok, I swear, swear that tomorrow I'm starting to get my crap together. I swear guys. If I come back here and say I haven't been doing good, please chastise the crap out of me. I'm spoiled so all I really need is someone to put me in my place. I have no plans for this weekend so I just really want to get outside and be active. Like play tennis and maybe wash the cars and do my workout dvd. Something!! Just as long as I'm not sitting down on my butt all day. Gosh, I hope I can do it!!

Hopefully I have some good news to report back to you guys tomorrow.

Have a great night everybody!

Rosario - I'm not at the point where I feel good yet.. mostly I just feel like crap! I have this headache that won't quit, sorta headache, I feel like my head is in a fog, and sometimes I get light headed, but so far this is only in my head, so it's doable. I've definitely experienced worse headaches, so I feel lucky at this point. I will start to feel good soon though! And it is worth it, especially if you are as addicted to sugar as I am.. I just feel... free almost. Also I have to admit every time I get on the scale its gone down - which is also good motivation. I don't really have any friends where I live either, it's SO hard to meet people.. most people I meet are really nice, but they already have their group of friends. So I definitely hear you on that - at least you have friends in CA!

So I made it through yesterday, that headache is definitely bothering me. And so far nothing will take it away, the only time I got a little relief was when I went for a walk - go figure! Hopefully today it'll subside, since I have to work a full day. I am NOT going out tonight, just gonna come home, maybe nap, watch a movie, something low key. My body needs to heal and detox itself.. and now I'm off to shower! Have a good one ladies!!

-Aimee

The headache passed! So the day went well! I also got on the scale, and it was down another pound, yay! I weigh in tomorrow, so hopefully that will hold steady! I'm also getting used to the idea that I can't have sugar or wheat for the next 50 weeks.. not fully there yet. Got any ideas on how I can accept this??

-Aimee

Day 4 went well! Today is day 5.. and I will be weighing in soon. I will be back last to post how it went!

-Aimee

So I am down to 264 this week! yay! I had been stuck at 265 for a while, so its good to see something below 265! I'm down 5 pounds.

Not alot of time to check in, I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Aimee- I'm glad your headache when away. I know you're excited about weigh in today. I hope it goes great.

Ro- I've heard of a few places over $5 a gallon. It's crazy. Dh's work was already going slow. It this keeps up it would be cheaper for him to take the week off even thought he's out of vacation time. That's sad.

Shari- Yay, I guess we were posting at the same time. I was wondering what team/s we were on. Now, we've got to rock this challenge.

Shari - thanks! It was hard hard work, and the with drawl was intense! But it's worth it if I get even just 1 pound closer to goal, I just happened to get lucky and lose 5 pounds!

hsmom - I am feeling almost normal now, a slight head fog thing going on, but thats totally doable since the headache is GONE! I can agree with the gas thing, we are paying 5.67/gallon these days. It's painful to fill up, especially since I have to drive to work. We've been paying this for a while though, so we're starting to get used to it. When we first got our car it was 40 bucks, these days its more like 55. yuck!

Well I am off to grocery shop and hopefully catch some sun! Have a good day ladies!!

-Aimee

Alright - so I'm taking these fibre pills.. omg! Tonight my stomach is ACHING from it! But otherwise I made it through day 5 just fine! I even exercised today, I gotta get my stuff together and get back to doing weights.. this week definitely.

-Aimee

WTG Aimee!!

You're doing great Aimee!

I made it thru today with no huge slip ups!! This is pretty amazing because I had the worst day at work.. its possible it could go down in history! I had a meeting with my cosmetics manager and my store manager to discuss some issues I had with her... and then I just got slammed. Turns out the cosmetics manager went to my store manager and said I was the worst assistant she's ever had. Yup, thats right... apparently I am pretty darn horrible at my job in her eyes. Thats not all, apparently some of the girls don't think I work very hard, and to continue on with the blows to my ego? She can't trust me to finish anything I start - and that I never finish anything ever. Pretty harsh words, especially since NONE OF THEM WERE SAID TO ME BEFORE TODAY. Thats annoying - like if she has an issue why tell everyone BUT me?? I wish this were it, but it's really not.. she also told the district manager almost all of this information as well. So, I was feeling pretty crappy, and at the end of it all? She insisted that we hug... it's like, yah sure punch me, and then tell me you love me.

The good news is after all of that? I didn't overindulge in anything, I came home, talked on the phone for hours, and then made a chicken breast, broccoli and corn! Go me! I'm still feeling pretty low, and I will have a chat with the store manager tomorrow.. since it's very clear I cannot trust my cosmetics manager at all.

Enough of me... hows everyone doing??

-Aimee

Aimee - that is horrible! Is this someone you work closely with? I dunno if I could work with someone after all that! I mean you can't fix what your doing wrong so if she doesn't tell you... how can you change it? I mean if any of that is even true! Maybe she is worried you are going to take over her position and she is trying to make you sound bad? WTF on staying on plan... yesterday was HORRIBLE for me, the weekend was okay - better then yesterday at least, haha.

So weekend went pretty good - garage sale went well, we made some money but still have a few things I am trying to sell in the classifieds. Sunday we did a lot of cleaning and cleared out a lot of stuff now that we have our garage back. We also set up our new tv room in the garage! haha

Yesterday, out of nowhere - I got a second job! haha It is only two days a week min. wage, but it should be pretty good for a second part time job. The place is really slow so I can bring in my laptop, watch movies or whatever as long as what I need to do gets done and I serve the customers when they come in. Should be not bad! On plus is Wednesday I will be gone 7:30-9:30 so hopefully being busy all the time I can stay on track! Sundays same deal, I will work 10:30-5:30 so working on day should help me to stay away from the junk food... no food court in this mall either and it's close to home, very close! I start tomorrow, eeeks.
