    Great job eveyone on the weight loss. Tamm - congrats on hitting your goal early! Thats great. I lost 1lb this week and am frustrated. I did really well last week and exercised alot, I thought it would be at least 2 lbs. Oh well, 1 lb is better than nothing. I will keep trying..

    I'm going in the wrong direction. These last 2 weeks have been so busy, that I haven't been able to exercise. But tomorrow is the last day of school for my son, so I should be able to get on a good summer schedule here soon!

    Congratulations to all you "losers" this week!!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks Ladies!!! I am working very hard over here. Kel I felt like the weight came off slowly. I do have a personal trainer now though. I work with him two days a week.

    Well... I'm off to bed.

    Hi ladies, you are all doing so well!! I am excited to see all the good news abounding!!

    My ulcer flared up yesterday. I was waiting for it to perforate and require surgery, seriously. It was rough. My doc referred me to a GI doc. You know how referrals go... you wait and wait, and finally they call to say you have an appointment in a week's time. Not this one -- they called today with an appointment for tomorrow. I must say I'm excited. Of course, I told the doc my health benefits run out at the end of July so I am sure she pushed this hard. I do love my family practice.

    I'm not sure what I will do when my insurance coverage runs out. If I don't take my ulcer meds (which run $125 right now monthly w/o insurance, $250 a month on the double dose I was bumped to yesterday), I run the risk of my stomach blowing a hole again. That was a $25,000 surgery, with all the insurance discounts. To the regular person, that bill woulda easily been $35,000 to $40,000. This is where people end up in so much trouble. I have been a gainfully employed citizen, paying every bill on time, paying down my debt, owning a home, a great credit score, paying for all my medical drama in the past. Suddenly, I lose my job and my medical coverage. Thanks to an uncontrollable ulcer, I risk having a medical crisis that will cripple me financially (not like I'm financially in the good anyhow) and ruin my credit for 7-10 years. I am not one for a socialist nation, and I'm not a proponent of "free healthcare" but I do believe our medical system needs an overhaul. It's not right to charge so much for lifesaving medications (like my ulcer meds, because I can literally bleed to death from this without these meds and proper care) but allow other meds (like VIAGARA) to be covered for reasonable amounts and on public healthcare programs!!!! I don't care about your "quality of (sex) life" when I'm prepared to struggle to survive!!!!

    Sorry. Pet peeve. I lived without insurance for a lotta years and went without a lot of healthcare that I should have had. Sheesh, my beloved kiddo is the result of improper health care. HELLO- the doctor I saw told me the antibiotic wouldn't adversely impact my birth control!!! WTF.

    I'm just venting some of my stresses here guys. Please ignore my rants.

    I can't weigh in yet today. If I remember, I'll weigh in after yoga tonight. No cardio for me until my ulcer is in check. I'm too nervous to work out hard. (Monday night, before the Tuesday morning attack, I did 30 min running intervals, with a 12m10s mile! :noway: , bicep and tricep weight training, then an hour long spin class for a total of 950 cals burned. Made me realize I have to buy some Gatorade soon. No more plain water if I'm burning more than 500 cals, methinks.)

    {{{hugs}}}} to you Lauryn! Shesh! When it rains it pours. You are going through so much as it is. And you rant all you want about our healthcare! Sometimes I believe it wouldnt be so bad to live in the neighborhood to the north of us! I, myself have gotten a good dose of reality with the healthcare and insurance system these days. Got my bill for MY part of my surgery hospital bill....just the hospital...not the surgeon, not the anesthesiologist, etc....$3006.00! Yikes! That's more than I can dish out in one shot right now.

    Hang in there Lauryn! Take it easy and feel better! :flowerforyou:

    Whew, I'm late this week... late posting, I mean! lol... Up a couple of pounds from last week... Not sure how that happened, although I have not been tracking my food. I did stay up all night last Thursday (slept from 10:30 to midnight) to decorate cupcakes for field day at school on Friday. Did the same thing Monday night (slept from 10 to midnight only) making end of school cupcakes for the kids and mini cakes in chinese take-out boxes (used a round tip to make the frosting look like chinese noodles) for the teacher appreciation bags as well. Had to alternate between the boxes and the cupcakes, because squeezing that bag for that long was awful. I'd go for an hour or so, and wouldn't even be able to open my hand flat for a bit.... Still had 4 cupcakes and 15 boxes to go with an hour left before I had to deliver. Begged DH to squeeze frosting for a bit.... Those 15 boxes would have taken me almost an hour (my hands had gotten very weak by then, lol) and he squeezed them out in about 20 minutes for me, while I finished the cupcakes. I did have to go and do some finish work on the boxes, but he saved me soooo much time, I was actually able to change into clean (not frosting and sugar covered) clothing before leaving:laugh:

    No workouts since last week, been too tired with these all-nighters.... and then some bad eating on top of it.... a couple of breakfasts out with friends and other school parents... a couple of times grabbing fast food on the run... late night munchies with leftover frosting on graham crackers... I need to whip my booty back into gear!

    Went to Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Pauls yesterday. I'm looking for clothes that can be adapted into pirate costumes for our Disney cruise. Lucky for me, St. Vinnies had their bag sale going yesterday. I got a whole bag of possibilites for only 5 bucks. Included in that bag was a nice leather jacket for me, and a pair of jeans I fell in love with. The jeans are 36 waist and gargantuan long. No idea how long, but they overhang my feet by about 8 inches. I don't care though, like I said, I fell in love. They have flowers embroidered down both outside seams, all the way down. And they lace up, instead of zipping.... I tried them on last night, and they fit... a little tight in the hips and thighs, but still wearable! Woot woot!

    OMG Petmybunny you wore me out just reading about your last week. How wonderful your cursie is going to be. Tony and I would love to hear more about it. Where are you going? And what kind of activitives? It sounds like so much fun. I remember the days when I used to do the cupcake nights or the last minute school projects that weren't quite finished the night before they needed to be turned in. I'm sure you are looking forward to your trip.

    Hi ladies.

    I'm doing a fast today (only since midnight) for a blood draw to check my gastrin levels (to see if I overproduce stomach acid naturally). After that lovely stick, I'm having an endoscopy done (a tube with a camera stuck down my throat into my stomach). I will be put under, sorta -- it's called "conscious sedation", so that I'm still awake and such, but drugged as hell, or at least I've been told. They will spray a numbing agent in my throat so I don't gag on the scope. I'm petrified of this procedure and will undoubtably start crying as 2pm nears. Until then, I'm occupying myself with whatever else I can find.

    Robin, I cannot believe the sleep you forgo in the name of cakes! You are a better person than I. I'd totally just chip in some money for teacher appreciation gifts and be done with it. Those pants sound super cool. Are you going to hem them? You might be able to make a top outta that extra 8'' from each leg! hahaha

    Kristin, why are y'all selling the bike? Still might be something fun to have for when Wee One is with the grandparents for the afternoon. (I'm assuming you are selling it due to Baby.)

    Rhiannon, post away m'dear!

    AmyLou, have fun in Colorado!

    PDX Amy, will they work out a payment plan for you? I'm really worried about the financial part of mine too. The scope today costs $350 + 20%.... whatever that is. I'm sure there will be more fees added on top of that. Not having health insurance means you are SOL, having health care means you are still screwed just not for quite as much. It sucks.

    Lauryn- I have had a scope done 2 times in the last year. I feel for you. I got very anxious both times! I wish you the best of luck!

    As far as the hospital bill is concerned, they sent me some financial aid forms to fill out to see if I can get the bill cut down. Hubby is self employed contractor. We are doing ok but dont have any savings to speak of right now. In the end I am sure it will all work out. You cant get money from someone who just doesnt have it!

    Happy Friday everyone!

    I so feel for you guys with health care. Honestly, being born and raised in the health care system I've got I can't imagine how on earth you guys do it. The stress alone must create its own vicious cycle. I remember when an American friend of mine told me how much it "cost her" to have her baby. My jaw dropped. I didn't realize you had to PAY!!! :frown:

    Lauryn, thoughts with you today!!! xo

    I totally agree with your statement, Lauryn. I have insurance, but I'm still scared of how much going to the doctor will cost me.

    Lauryn & PDX Amy - My thoughts are with you. I hope you both get the treatment you need and recover quickly. :flowerforyou:

    How is everyone's weekend going? I hope well!

    I just spent some time looking over my menus from my peak success period in my first 6 months of this journey. Interestingly, the trend at my most successful times was that I regularly went over my cals (which were already higher than they are now... though I did weigh a little more) and I also allowed myself a daily, controlled treat. Such as a soy chocolate ice cream sandwich or a tbsp of nutella on a half a banana or something. And as well as having higher daily cals and usually going over by 100-200, I was burning more cals from exercise. I'm taking that under advisement. It's my mission to regain my sense of momentum but at the same time I have to honour the level of training my body is entering with the 1/2 marathon. They actually strongly recommend that you don't do too much calorie cutting or trying to lose weight during the training but I figure since I've got my finger so tightly on the numbers I'll be okay. I just need to make sure I set up & subsequently adequately replace my glycogen stores to support the sport :happy: I'm still reeling in shock from the fact that I've now had as many months in this journey of maintaining or gaining as I did in losing. More in fact. The first 5 months I shed 53 lbs and for 7 months now I've been fighting! Just goes to show what momentum can accomplish!!
    I haven't been posting so much because I'm feeling really analytical about my process and I'm dissecting it all and me coming on will just encourage THIS kind of post :tongue:

    Almost done this challenge! Who's up for naming another?

    Robin- Glad to hear from you!!! I see you are very busy. Try to take one moment to BREATHE. Keep up the good work

    Tiff- YOU CAN DO IT!!! Good luck w/ the test. YAY

    Lauryn- I'm so sorry that everything is falling apart at the wrong time. LIFE is ridiculous sometimes huh. When I was in dental school I didn't have insurance for a while either. Just cost way to much for me. I agree that we have to find a way to help people w/ health care. I hope everything went well for you. Take care girlie!!!

    Amylou- Enjoy your trip!!!

    Rhiannon- Congrats on the review. I do the same thing. I always try to regroup every few weeks so I know what I really need to do to succeed. Congrats on the training for 13.1 miles. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

    Cathy- How is everything at the new house???

    Well... I just wanted to check in. I have been just sitting around doing nothing really. I'm just having a blah moment in life.

    Take care,

    Tamm:drinker:

    Redneck and Amy - Hello ladies... glad to see you both hanging in there. :)

    The endoscopy went well. From the moment I walked over to the gurney to get my IV port, I couldn't stop crying. When they took me into the procedure room, I started panicking and sobbing. The doctor and nurses were incredibly nice and understanding, calming me with breathing techniques, then knocking my *kitten* out. "Conscious sedation", my foot. It was great. I remember nothing. The medication leaves an anmestic effect, so I have patches of the entire night that I remember nothing at all. In fact, Jay told me that I was sleeping in the car so heavily that my head was almost resting on the gear shifter. :laugh:

    I do remember having the world's BEST sushi for dinner at a new restaurant. I will be frequenting there again. I love sushi. Wish it wasn't so expensive.

    So the good news -- I DON'T HAVE AN ULCER!!! :drinker: (although, wth? I mean, I've been treated for an ulcer for almost 3 years, medicated.) My stomach looks great, the doc said. But I am having lots of GI SPASMS. Wth does that mean??? Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound forthcoming Wednesday (which is/would have been my 8th wedding anniversary). I guess that will answer more questions?

    In the meantime, I am no longer taking any of my previous medicines, but now on yet another new one. This one I hope works -- because in addition to treating GI spasms, it happens to be an anti-depressant. Couldn't have come at a better time.

    I'm not weighing. I'm not logging food. I hate being fat and gaining weight but I have no motivation to try to fix it. I haven't been to the gym in a week, although with all this medical BS, I think the hiatus was warranted.

    I'm going to go take another nap. Depression is exhausting.

    Good Morning Ladies,

    Sounds like for the most part everyone is doing okay. I haven't been doing all that well either (just okay). This weekend was a weekend of DRAMA. My one freind came over with personal problems, as she had wrecked her truck earlier this month. She decides to go to the river and her truck won't start.
    So she had to hike to where she got a signal called us. And off to play rescue 911. Only to bring her home after pulling her truck into a safe zone. We get home and here is my brother all upset cuz he and his landlord got into a big yelling match and was told to move. With hardley any work no drivers lic. he has no where to go. He is my brother but he drinks way too much to come live with me and
    Tony again. In the mean time my poor dog has a swallon nose. So I have been worried about her waiting for this morning so I can get her to the vets. It looks so bad. I have been give her benadryal all weekend. So I am thinking that the planets must be out of sorts.

    Lauryn I am glad that you made it through your proceedure okay. And the best of luck this coming wed.
    I can't believe that you have been taking ulcer meds and didn't need them after all. Just think of all the monies you could have saved. Let alone thinking you were sick with something only to find out it wasn't it after all. Hope you get some anwsers soon.

    I am not looking forward to check in tomarrow Iam sure I didn't do very good.

    Talk at you all Later.

    Hugs and Kisses to all
