T.H.E. Team (Trying Hard Everyday) Week 37

LosingIt4good

Hi everyone,

Kristi, thanks for getting the thread started this week. I was wrapped up in getting hubby leaving again last weekend and it totally spaced my mind.

Sorry I havent been in the check in or be very social this week. Saturday when I got up to take hubby to the airport I had a sore throat. That lasted for a day, then turned into the nasty head and chest cold I have been dreading getting this year. Its the first real "cold" Ive had in over a year so its really kicking my butt.

Im gonna be honest here and say that I havent been good during this time with my eating. IF i feel like eating at all.. its usually a craving for something salty or sweet (usually some kind of SODA) and Ive been giving into those things because its all that sounds good WHEN im actually hungry and Ive been in the "screw it" mode since I havent felt good enough to work out either. I know.. not good.. but when ya feel crummy, ya just dont care.

Well, yesterday morning I went to take a hot steamy shower and for some reason I just felt smaller. I popped on the scale and sure enough... Im down to 212.2. I knew that I had gained alot of water the past couple weeks and aparently it decided to migrate its way out my NOSE during this cold. LOL so Im off to change my ticker.

Im feeling like I have a little more energy today. Still coughing like mad, but otherwise my sinuses are doing better. I had a fever the first night but it didnt stick around and hasnt been back. Ive been disinfecting my house everyday to see if I can keep the kids and hubby from catching this crud and so far so good. We'll see what next week brings.

Today is "decorate the front yard for halloween day". Still havent done it but decided that since hubby is home he can help me with it once hes done with his remote work. I usually deck out the entire house but this year, only the front yard is getting decorated...

Im off to catch up on posts....see ya'll tomorrow for check in

Hey all. Well.. I had to make some more holes in the belt that I bought two weeks ago.... My pants actually stay up now... love it.

I'm only 24 so I can't really help with that stuff yet... I'm not there and have no idea about it sorry..

I am enjoying the fact that I have gotten back to where I use to be mentally. Back before I gained weight I used to be able to control my hunger for the most part with my my mind. If I had dinner and I was still hungry I told myself it was because I bored and most of the time I was. Well somewhere along the line I got out of that and started thinking that I was always hungry. I can't eat the same amount of food that I used to be able to eat. I get full a lot quicker.

I am so looking forward to tomorrow. I hope everyone checks in tomorrow and has some good results... this week hasn't been a very exciting thread :huh:

Good luck girls, and talk to you all later. Have a good night

I definitely noticed this of myself tonight. I traveled through my hometown on business today so I stopped at my favorite thai restaurant (it was an absolute must, seriously). I got home & shared the food with dbf and we had leftovers. About 5-6 hours later, I walked by the fridge & saw the leftovers and pulled them out fully intending to finish them off just as I would've done any other time. I ate a tiny bite of broccoli and my stomach immediately sent a "you must've gone absolutely insane, woman!" signal to my brain. I actually felt physically ill even thinking about eating more food even though I hadn't really overeaten earlier. So, I wrapped all the leftovers back up & put them back in the fridge.

I expect the sodium in the thai food will mess up my weigh-in tomorrow but it was so worth it! :laugh: There's no way I went over my maintenance calories for the day with the way I budgeted for my restaurant meal so it's not like I'm going to gain fat from it

Yesterday an almost-stranger (someone who works in the same building as me) noticed I had lost weight & was nice enough to say some encouraging words. That was the first time someone who didn't know I was trying to lose weight noticed I've lost. :drinker:

Hey,

I've had a crazy two weeks at school; fights pep-rallies and academic testing!!! But things seem to be simmering down a bit. I've been at a stand still the past three weeks so no weight change again but I'm not discouraged. I have lost a little in inches which means something is still going on.

SW198, GW135, CW170 = no change

I hope you ladies have a great week.

Good morning!

Despite my thai food indulgence last night, the scale treated me very well this morning.

jlb123 SW 270/GW 150/CW 247.8 loss of 4.4 pounds

Plus when I walked into work this morning my supervisor said "cute outfit!" I know I've worn this or something very similar before so in my mind that was her way of saying "hey, you don't look as bad as you did before!" :laugh:

:drinker:
