Over 200 New Year New Me Part 48

Hello!

I've had a rough week! Monday there a great start then MEXICAN and $2 Margaritas. Alcohol is evil not just the empty calories but the bad choices it encourages! (not wine of course - wine is nothing but good!)

Tuesday was a trip to Ray's Place - a bite here and a bite there of fried foods add up fast!

Today I went to the Indian restaurant and only made one trip to the buffet! However, there was about 400 calories of Naan alone *sob*:sad: :sad:

So...
Monday:
Calories OVER
Water GREAT
Exercise :huh:
Proud - that I didn't eat the table or chairs - omg Mexican food is amazing!!!

Tuesday:
Calories - OVER
Water GREAT
Exercise :ohwell:
Proud - I didn't eat more than 3 wings?

Wednesday:
Calories: OVER
Exercise :indifferent:
Proud- I didn't go back for dessert?

I was "expanded" again Tuesday and now "the girls" are the same size! Of course the right side is pointed off the the right side like it's distracted by something shiney. It's also about an inch highter than the left side... but hopefully things will even out by the end of the whole process (and the final surgery).

Yesterday it felt like I had a screwdriver digging into the left side just below the expander. I emailed my nurse because I'm not scheduled to go in for a few weeks and she said that I've been doing much better than expected with the expansion so having this pain is probably just the stress on the muscles (pulling/tearing away from the chest wall as the stretching takes place). She told me to take it easy until next week... It hurt so badly today that I came home a little early and took some narcodic pain meds for the first time in weeks. Booo!

On the up side - I haven't had anywhere near the discomfort with the muscle expansion up to this point and they've gotten them up to about a C-cup and about the same size so I can back off and wait a few weeks and if things settle out OK this couild be the last of the expansion sessions! I'm hoping I can put off the final surgery until this fall and give myself time to lose 40-50 lbs.

I love you guys!
:drinker:

checking in for yesterday:
calories: over
exercise: good - an hour of step at the Y
water - not so good

I didn't have a great night last night - I made a double batch of a hamburger, sweet potatoe hash that I was going to have half of for lunch today - but instead ate it all last night. :sick:

Checking in for Wednesday:

Calories: about on
Water: under :grumble:
Exercise: none :grumble: :grumble:
Proud: Didn't pig out at Jr. High end of year gathering.

Good morning! It looks like there are some good things happening here again!

Allison: Welcome back from the beach! I look forward to seeing you on here more in the near future.

Melinda: Congrats on the C cups!

Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: On target
Water: 76.9 oz.
Exercise: Three hours volunteering
Proud: That I only ate two of the three tacos I ordered for dinner because they weren't as satisfying as I hoped they would be.

Shame on all of you for coming to my state without letting me know. :frown: Or maybe shame on me for not reading the parts of your posts about where you were going. I remember just assuming Allison was going to a beach in VA. I'm a few hours from Myrtle Beach since I-20 stops in Florence & the little highways have much lower speed limits, but damnit, Lauren, I can zip down I-26 and get to Charleston in just 1.5 hours!

mstahl - sounds like you are recovering well , sorry about the tough week.

Jess - good luck in your initial weigh in.

kdmallon - welcome to the group!!

i am being optimistic about weigh in tomorrow, of course my obsessive stuff i have been weighing in a couple times a day - but after dinner weeks ago i was sitting at right at what i was 2 weeks ago (last week i was up )., so hoping that maybe i can be out of these dang 270's for good this week.

I am feeling good though, been under cals everyday and working out every day

Renea.....-3.2.....1.28%
Julie.......+2.0......:huh:

I gained 1.8 pounds overnight on Sunday and stayed there all week. Then I gained another 0.2 pounds overnight last night. I've had an incredibly sodiumriffic week and I'm retaining so much water I can even see it in my ankles (I think I may have the beginning stages of cankles, even!). I'll be doing better with the sodium thing over the next few days to see if I can drop some water. I don't mind gaining weight, but it irritates me when it happens magically overnight.

Renea.....-3.2.....1.28%
Julie.......+2.0......
Lauren.....0.0....0.00%
Jess.......-2.8.....0%


I lost 2.8 pounds this week since Monday! Must be water retention! I'm not putting a percentage because I don't know what I used as my last weigh in so I will start next week from here.

Renea.....-3.2.....1.28%
Julie.......+2.0......
Lauren.....0.0....0.00%
Jess.......-2.8.....0%
debra.....-1.3.....0.48%

Proud: That I only ate enough cheese curds to satisfy the craving (6 curds) and threw the rest away.

OMG I cheese curds!! I'm so jealous!

Crazy, crazy week! Next week looks to be even crazier! (We're FINALLY moving!!)

This was the weight I was the other day. Now that I know what day I'm supposed to weigh in I'll be sure to do that! I know this morning I popped onto the scale and I was at 199.8! I almost fell off it!! I really hope that silly thing wasn't lying to me and I've broken the barrier!!

Proud - Went to yoga, enjoyed spending time with my girls afterwards.

Lauren... way to RUB IT IN!!!


heeheehee

Ann - Looks like you have a plan.

Well 1st dy today being over all week long but i am still proud of my self, my inlaws are here , and we ordered pizza, we didn't really have anything to feed them. We got 3 pizzas, a meat lovers, a cheese lovers and a pepporni lovers. Yeah the calories on any of them wasn't nice, but i opted for the cheese, and like 380 or so a piece. So i ended up like 358 over. Even though i was over i am proud as i could of gorged on pizza and been thosusands over.

already planned tomorrow out.

Well the morning hubby is making his parents breakfast burriots, i don't eat eggs, so planning on making me some french toast, , lunch is sandwiches, and dinner is spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread and salad. And desert, 1st plan was getting some cookies, but then i decied to do strawberry shortcake things, Got fresh strawberries, fat free cool whip, and little desert cups at 60 cals a piecfe.


Overall i am very proud of my choices.

AND I just checked a conversion calculator and it looks like I have about a pound of saline in each expander now... you KNOW I'll have to mention that every time I have to list my weight "196 - but really two of those pounds are in my tissue expanders!!"

Of course! It's the same reason I have to mention my pregnancy induced cankles & sausage fingers!

Those things will be gone soon

Started my weekend off good, got up and spent an hour at the gym. I was dragging at first i think cause i didn't eat, i think i should eat before i go ...but after a while i kicked it in and ended up burning close to 600, like 580 something i think

My goal is to log everything this weekend , it will be the 1st time in my re-start that i think this is happend, so hopfullly i will still to my guns.
