This past week and a half my eating went pretty much completely out the window due to me being so sick and tired, last minute things popping up and hubby shopping with me at the grocery store ugh and been overeating a bit too and just in general eating too much take out food. So I stepped on the scale today to see the damage and I have gained back 5 pounds whew.. At least I haven't gained back all of the 10 pounds I lost in the past month. Guess what I was doing was really working and that really hit me today when I saw 211 again. So I have chicken thawing and have a bunch of salad fixings to help drop some of that off as quickly as I can. I also have a bunch of oatmeal and fruit to stir in my oatmeal in the mornings. I did get some breakfast turkey sausage to have as well and will only have one small serving at a time. I am also planning out some homemade beef stew and some homemade chicken noodle soup. For some reason soups are very filling and satisfying to me and I don't need a lot and I would like to cook them more instead of doing canned since I noticed I seem to be sensitive to sodium.

Weegreenlassie-So glad you are back and you are okay! That is great you had someone taking such good care of you.

have a great day!

Wee- So glad you are on the mend. WOW!! A kickball?? That must have felt horrible inside you. Kuddos on the 6 pounds. Hope you're up and at em soon.

This- You're not the only one having struggles. Hang in there.

Gary- A walk on the beach? OOHHH!!! Yesterday we had a heatwave. It hit 40, I think. And then that stupid groundhog sees his shadow today. 6 more weeks of this crap???

Cakses- I'd be happy for 5 pounds since Jan. Things just are not working well lately.

Brit- I have been doing more cooking myself. Made beef vegetable soup yesterday. It was good yesterday and still good today. Wish I had more time for cooking.

I was back up to 199.6 yesterday, 199 today. TOM is just a few days away and screwing with me. Can I just hit something?? I need to take out my frustrations somewhere.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hit 180 on the scale this morning

Not sure when the last time I was there....need to check journal....doesn't really matter when I was there last 'cause I am here now...

I watched the game alone yesterday....not that I mind Neighbors were thinkin' about coming over but I talked them out of it Just wanted to spend the day with my wife and mutts....even though the only thing Angie watched was Bruce at half-time. She was in her chair doing cross-words and stuff.

I did not have anything to eat during the game except dinner....hamburger w/cheese and lettuce, tomato, onion on a bun and one w/o the bun. I did pick up some kettle chips....another downfall.

MINDY ~Actually the walk was not on the beach....dogs aren't allowed....but we have a sidewalk that goes right along the sand and the water is less than 50 yards away.

BRAT ~ Looks like it is time for both of us to get back on track!

CAKSES ~ I think 5 is much better than the rest of us....good for you

NIECE SERENTY ~ I like the new attitude I think you are ready to hit it hard again!

SUPER-J ~ An hour is good! If you do that hour daily....and....stay away from the fast food BIG CHANGES will happen in no time....assuming the non-fast food eating is good

My friend died of cancer. I just found out this morning. I knew he was bad but...

I just mailed him a scarf he bought from me as a gift for his best friend. He left behind 2 amazing kids and a wonderful wife.

I'm so upset. I can't stop eating and for today, I'm letting it go. I haven't stopped crying yet. I just want to crawl under my desk and cry the whole day away.

I'm still going to work out though.

[preetyladyserenity]

Aww hugs Jeannette!

It is so terrible losing a friend from such a horrible illness like cancer. I felt so sorry to read about your friends.

[mtiger]

Jeanette- Man I am so sorry to hear that. It is really tough. Hang in there.

Gary- What's up with that number??? Pull yourself together man. I'd hate to have to come out to Cal. and rattle your cage.

I'm certain that the impending TOM is what has my weight so wonky lately. I was down a bit to 198 today. These huge swings are infuriating. Let's move on already.

If you come remember we have "sun" here....you wouldn't want to melt....bring your sunscreen

Down to 179 this morning....whew....

[Jeannette311]

Thanks, everyone. I've been pretty down.

I still worked out yesterday. I ate 200 calories over my allotment. Today isn't too great. I ate a sonic burger and tots for breakfast. And tonight I'm making meatballs. For lunch I have an apple and strawberries so that's good at least.

Tomorrow's a new day.

[preetyladyserenity]

With TOM gone I start to loose the bloating weight. I also lost an extra 400 grams this week. So happy!

[blondebritbrat17]

Jeannette- I am so sorry about your friend. Cancer sucks simply put.

I have been trying to get back on the wagon this week but have been foiled somewhat by how bad I feel still so I haven't done much cooking and my hubby is not much help in that department. I am still back down to 209.4 already which is 2 pounds and something I think from earlier this week so hopefully next Thursday I'll be back down to the 206 point something I was ten days ago. Fortunately I go to the specialist this coming Monday and hopefully we can figure out if it is my tonsils and that the infection is that bad to where I just feel so fatigued like I do now and then get my tonsils removed as soon as possible. I'm about to eat some dinner then dash off back to my night class. TGIF tomorrow!!

[weegreenlassie]

Jeanette-- I'm so sorry to hear that It's always hard to lose someone you love

I'm still somewhat bedridden... I couldn't sleep last night because my nerves are waking up! Gross..and painful. Anyhoo-- I'm sticking to about 1300 calories a day... And really aiming for good fiber #'s and drinking anything and everything!
I'm losing weight really fast, and it's kind of scaring me... but I know that it'll slow down soon

i realized last night that I'm currently the same weight I was when I was "maintaining" in WW when I lost weight the first time! I'm still wanting to lose about 20 more pounds, and I think that with this support system, I can do it (I kinda got jipped through WW).

TOM is hitting hard today. I did WATP for a little break from all the tough cardio I've done this week. Scale was back down a little, 198.4. Not as low as last weeks 197.6 though. Maybe tomorrow??? Maybe this weekend??? Tomorrow is weigh in at school and I am hoping for at least a maintain.

[Jeannette311]

Thanks everyone. I think I'm finally accepting it. Still not so great with the emotional eating. Gotta stop that.


I worked 10 hours today and then worked out for 75 minutes. I just got home and I know I should go to bed but I"m so wired. I also haven't had much to drink today so I know I have to force some sort of liquid down my throat. I'm just not in the mood. I just want to sit here.
