Hi everyone!
Megan - A needle! Wow. I hope your foot feels better now that it's gone!
Lily - Glad your son got home safe after getting stuck (from last week's thread).
Anne - Glad the pregnancy is going okay! Although hearing about your DD's antics I'd be skeptical of having another!
LessIsMore Anne - Welcome back!
Libby - congrats on the 100lbs!
Susan - congrats on the grandbaby!
Meg - we've been having crazy wind too. It was so loud last night!
Hi to everyone else!!
I am feeling . . . fat.
The scale read 140 this morning.
Saturday I weighed 137.8 and I thought maybe the water weight from TOM, etc had come off, but Sunday was back up over 138 and today was 140. Now it looks like the 137.8 was a fluke. This means I have GAINED TWO POUNDS over the past month (11/1 I weighed in at 136). HOW did I gain two pounds on an average of under 1800 calories/day??? With exercise????? I know my eating hasn't been 100% clean but I have been carefully tracking all my calories, even from eating junk. And this is not one of those cases of the scale going up but the pants getting loose. All my pants are tight, even my SHIRTS are tight. I have three skirts that I can't even wear.
Ugh. I am tempted to go to my doctor and tell them I have "unexplained weight gain," but they'll probably say 2 lbs isn't anything to be worried about (forget that up until a couple months ago my weight didn't fluctuate at all, and if it did it would go up AND down, not just up up up!). My nails are breaking weirdly too, like the top layer is coming off. Maybe I will go and ask them to test my thyroid levels again. I had it tested about a year and a half ago and it was normal, but I know that thyroid issues can cause cold intolerance, tendinitis, brittle nails, hair loss, and weight gain, and my mom has hypothyroidism that started in her 20's, and at least it is something easily treatable.
Blah blah blah. Back to work!
