WI Week of Nov 5 - 11

  • Wow, not much activity going on around here. Where is everyone?

    On my Sunday Weight-In, I lost 1 pound. I was aiming for 2, but I'm happy to take 1. Halloween week was okay for me. Didn't indolge too much.

    Yesterday, I was working from home, and I got really stressed out trying to do some work that was urgent. The darn thing wasn't working. It took me all day to get it working. Anyhow, I binged and didn't eat healthy all day. But I forgive myself. It's just 1 bad day. I'm hoping it will not have resulted in a gain for this week for me. Today is a new day.

    I have just been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. This is probably the reason why I have so many problems with my energy level. So I started taking new medication to bring it down to the normal range. It's going to take about 8 weeks before I get there. It's a long time but at least I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. I'm hoping this really is the reason why I have all this energy problems and not something else.

    How is everyone doing?
  • Hey there....I'm still hanging around. Congrats on releasing 1 lb....and I bet the new meds will help the weight loss too.

    I presently am still just watching calories and STS. I have a Dr. appt. on Weds. for my kidneys and she will probably put me on a more strict diet so I am enjoying being able to eat what I like at this time.

    We are leaving the end of the month for a two week trip to Seattle and a week on the Oregon Coast. See my sister and her family. For those of you who remember my brother-in-law has bone cancer and is in a remission of sorts at the moment....I really need to see him.

    I am going to start back on my walking dvd to get in better shape and will do some of it everyday until we leave and that may help me drop a couple lbs.

    Come out of hiding ladies......Francine needs your company and those holidays are just about here.

  • Phyllis, pack your fins!!! Its been WET WET WET!! here on the west coast. People might wonder why you grew gils on your vacation!

    flemay - congrats on your 1 lb! I'm betting also that the thyroid meds will help with the weight loss. Keep on going!!!

    My son is now 4 weeks old and its been crazy at our house! LOL! THe other kids do great with him and he has been a good baby.

    ~~~I am only 2 lbs above what I was when I got pregnant!!! I have started out light on the elliptical trainer but wont start any weights for another 2-4 weeks. OMG! The first time back on that thing I did 20 minutes very slowly and thought I was going to die!!! Surgery and sitting on my butt hasn't helped much So glad to be back in action.

    Have a beautiful day!
  • Wow, only 2 lbs up Donna that is so great.

    I'm hoping the rain will stop or slow down before we get out there in a couple weeks.....

    Hey, living in Florida shouldn't I have fins already???? lol

    Glad the baby is good....always nice to have a happy one isn't it.
