Hi everyone I believe I've checked in here a few times before but I'm at that point in myself where I really need to make a change and be the best person I can be. I weighed myself today, and it was a horrifying 210 pounds. I'm almost certain that the number is a bit off (that time of the month, and I've been hitting the gym for the first time in 2 years this past week.) Either way, something needs to change! I just had a really good job interview today, and while Im nervous about how I'll be able to juggle it with nursing school and weight loss, Im quite confident I can do it.
Today:
Breakfast: granola bar (170), coffee x 3 (100), english muffin with egg/ham (240)
Lunch: protein shake (400) 1 slice toast with honey (200)
I hit the gym yesterday for an hour and I plan on going again tomorrow with my boyfriend
Anyways - it's nice to see so many others checking in and staying accountable. I hope it helps me too!

Its been a pretty good day! Looks like everyone here are having their ups and downs. I guess all we can do is just hang in there and keep trying.
Here is what I had to eat today.
B-Eggwhite omelet with canadian bacon. Veggie juice and then one cup of coffee.
Midmorning snack Pistachio nuts
L-small flank steak with big salad 1 chocolate cookie. Diet Coke
D-Chicken and squash. Jello Diet Ginger Ale.
Lots of water in between times.
20 minute walk this afternoon.
I ran for about 50 minutes tonight, no idea about distance so I will estimate. I guess the key is NOT running when I am emotionally run down. Tonight went fine.
I made homemade beef stew and I am completely sodium bloated. It was very good though.
I did not check in yesterday as I was preparing for today's colonoscopy.
As A result I ate nothing yesterday, drank only clear fluids and stayed close to the bathroom.
Great results, my doctor said the test was perfect, no problems detected at all and he will see me in five years for the next test. YEA!!
Ate lunch, dinner and a snack today. Soft foods only for today per my doctor's orders. My total calorie count today was 1,243 which is well under my goal.

I love that 10 Minute Hiit Cardio workout. There is nothing fancy and no up and downs to the floor. Just a really good intense workout. Here's a link in case anyone wants to do it. It's a free youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_K9jrexquw
Diana thank you! I will look for glucosamine at the store....I knew someone would know!
we've continued to have a rain and windstorm with varying intensity but I got some nice autumn pictures for anyone who has me on facebook (Ruth Beattie)
stayed late tonight for meetings BUT had a wonderful compliment from our new principal...who has like a 40-year history in the schools...and she commended ME in front of the whole group for how well my program is run
my knees stopped aching today...second day that I didn't do the leg extension machine that I think is causing it...and the TOM week is almost over...still no bleeding (TMI) but the rest of the symptoms are here....sometimes my body does that....so 99% of me is okay with that and the other 1% is like OMG pregnant??....but I really don't think I am
and I spent an ENTIRE HOUR doing one on one safety with a student this afternoon who was getting into unsafe things, kicking, yelling, hitting, into electrical cords etc....ughhhhh....
Hi, I'm back after another small holiday (went out of town for my grandmom's birthday) and, once again, watched what I ate a bit (but not too strictly), and exercised quite a bit.
I've noticed that for the past 20-30 days, I've been stuck between 212 and 214 lbs and I'm getting a bit demotivated. In the beginning I lost 6 lbs in less than a moth, and now it's just going up and down between those two lbs. It's quite frustrating. But I'm going to keep at it. Let's see how it goes.
Last night I added on: Short Rest from AM PM Yoga for Beginners
I have noticed (and so have others) that I am starting to have an angioedema flare up. I was at the grocery store last night and the lady that was ringing up my order said "I love your lipstick. What shade is it? Is it Bobbi Brown?" I briefly explained to her about angioedema. I think I should have just thanked her for the compliment. I'm not sure how bad it will get, hopefully it will stay to a minimum. But this is the reason I have not lost any water weight since TTOM ended. Hopefully I won't show a gain either.
Calories for yesterday: 1480 +
Weigh In: 160.6
No Change
Another really tough one today. It's grinding me down. Father in law is still in intensive care. So I have had to work at home and look after the kids while wife visits. Tough. Anyway, the only thing I have control over at the moment is what I put in my mouth. So I am going with that. I could not exercise today so I went back to my old diet. A small salad with a little ranch light on the side. I need to put less in if I'm not working out. I hope I can get a run in tomorrow.
No change in weight today.
Breakfast: 2 pieces of toasted low-calorie bread with raw mushrooms and mayo light. A few olives. 1 coffee, milk, no sugar.
Lunch: Sockeye salmon, lettuce, tomato, pickled garlic, corn, kidney beans, olives, hemp seeds, light ranch on the side.
Dinner: Will drink beer (Green Flash Palate Wrecker).
So yesterday I hit about 2000calories. My weight is down -2 pounds to 208 today. Phew. Feels good to be back on the wagon.
Today I hit the gym for 45 minutes and have had 1000 calories so far today. I haven't had dinner yet, (not too sure what it will be) but between 300 - 450 calories. We'll see

Congrats on the interview. I hope it works out for you.
