To put things in perspective, I struggle with completing tasks, I get so distracted by everything else and then get overwhelmed and say "screw it" and just stop. That's one of many reasons why I dropped out of school and have gone to college at least 7 times in the past 5 years. I've always been that way and always struggled, but no one ever seemed to take me seriously when I said I couldn't help it. It took me until now to realize I had ADD, and to get help. Thanks to hubby, who finally listened and realized I had a problem, I think I'm going to get better. I'll take these side effects if it means I can be a better wife, mom, and everything else!
Great news, and as long as it doesn't affect your health those side effects will just be the new normal and you won't notice them after a while as long as net/net your quality of life improves.
I'm hoping that it's just my body adjusting. I didn't notice too much of the woozy feeling today, but the nausea and loss of appetite are still pretty noticeable, but I can deal with that. 0 -
Everyone, thank you all so much. Yes, I'm currently crouched down on the floor in my kitchen and crying over some of the heartfelt responses, but you guys are so amazing, and so appreciated.
The grief bacon is strong with this one (beverages and cigarettes and pasta with alfredo sauce), but that's better than the dark alternatives I thought of constantly last night. And I hate that, I hate that about myself. But I was just so stupidly happy, that sudden shock has been so overwhelming.
I haven't been crushed like this in a very long time. And I actually know when that time was. Spring 2002, I was in England and was told by the boy I was there for that he rekindled with an ex from years ago. I did a semester abroad just to be with him, and I spent the remainder my time there just randomly sobbing for no apparent reason.
Aw, @KylerJaye - I do understand all of that. It's horrible.. but grief bacon is much preferrable to any darker such thoughts. Stick with the alfredo sauce, for sure, and have some for me. Or save some for me. I think I can justify carb-loading for my very first couch-to-5K zombie training session today, right?
Hugs to you, for real. Know that we are all here pulling for you and cheering you on and quietly sending you strength & love & hope even when you are feeling shattered.
Oh, man, if you are having alfredo sauce for people please count me in! I soooo can't eat it and I love it so if you are keeping tabs and having some for people please put me on the list. XOXOXOX0 -

Despite being lazy and feeling bloated, I did my run- 9 miles and went for our 4ish mile walk. Now, I will go and horrify everyone at the restaurant when they see just how much pizza I can eat at their buffet! Weeeee!!!!
Um...lol that's 13 miles! Go on and eat your pizza!
Exactly!!
Oh, trust me..I ate an obscene amount of food...definitely got more than my money's worth! One more bite and my husband would have been rolling me out of there!!!
I'll get one more walk in putting me over 20 miles for the day...but by my guesstimations on the food today, I will still be over my calories!!!
That's with a small breakfast..and no plans for dinner because there's no room in this body for anything but water at this point!!!
ETA: @kellyjellybellyjelly, I'm not sure I could choose a favorite. They're awesome there! I'm vegetarian and they asked me what pizza I wanted them to make for the buffet..because they had so many meat ones prepared!! It was so nice of them to ask...I didn't know what to say so I just told them any veggie ones.
The ones they made for little ole me included:
plain cheese
Portobello mushroom, spinach, & feta
Tomato, spinach, olive, and feta
Green peppers and onions
Out of embarrassment, I refuse to say how many slices I ate...but I also had greek salad and pasta salad!!!
Fello vegetarian here and these sound amazing! (Why does Fello look wrong. Felo? Feloo? Fellow? Ahhh its Fellow! (no squiggly line under it!).

I'm really trying to talk myself into continuing this streak, rather than diving into a margarita or three.
Skip the margaritas, put the $ in a jar and on day 31, go spend it on something worthwhile.

I haven't gotten back to what you are talking about yet, but I know I am already excited by whatever topic we are talking about if it involves shoes and purses!0 -

Thank you! I can't even begin to describe the look on my hubby's face when he came home and all that was done. Probably one of my prouder moments there! 0 -

Of course!
Never gonna happen, quik! I was even talking about you this weekend, referring to you as "my friend who lives in Iowa". I also mentioned @pofoster21, in regards to her taking us horseback riding and on a tour of NYC.
I am your friend in NJ and I am looking forward to it! We can go visit my Mom in East Hampton and go to Montauk and go riding on the beach!0 -

And now i'm kinda drunk and totally rambling. Sorry. But please know, you guys are awesome, and I really appreciate all the support, it's helping me in ways I can't even describe. Thank you all so much
I have a break-up songs playlist I can send you if you like. It starts off with the sad, sappy stuff then moves to the more empowering stuff. My personal favorite is Cake's version of I will survive (has some swearing). Love that song!!! I will play it here loudly shortly in honor of you. I do believe it is on YouTube too.

Do you guys think the scale will be nice to me tomorrow if I regale it with tales of my fabulous will power?
Good job on the walk and resisting ice cream! I know you'll get the fitbit!
Honestly, I don't think I will.
I've gained so much weight that, even if I don't mess up my calories even once from now until my birthday, it would still be unrealistic to hope for 65 kg. I currently weigh 73 kg, and that's nearly 10 kilos in two months.
How much is that in lbs?
(Raises hand here)
One kilogram is equal to 2.204 pounds.
8 (not 10) kilograms = 17.63 pounds.
@Susieq_1994 some of your gain must be water that will go away. You just keep doing the best you can every day and you will get there!!

Hi all! I was about 6 pages behind and have just caught up. I'm so glad @Susieq_1994 is feeling better! Are you still pain free today? I hope so!
I miss Laura, too and hope the trip is going splendidly!
@quiksylver296 - 9 days is a good streak! Keep it up if you feel like the alcohol is keeping you from your optimal health. I decided that I don't really want to drink my calories, so this is generally not an issue for me personally. But I applaud your effort to make a change that could improve your overall health!
@pofoster21 How's your recovery going?
My husband decided that he'd rather do a couch-to-5K running program than start the Strong Lifts program with me at this time. Soooo.. the lifting is on hold for the moment. We are gonna try the Zombies, Run! 5K program with our first night tonight. I got a stride assessment from the local running store so that I could buy the right kind of shoes and we got shoes yesterday. I also splurged and got a HRM! I'm excited to try it out tonight. I blame @pofoster21 for her enthusiastic endorsement of running as "fun" in my current decisiong to try it out again. And, I'll be running from virtual zombies, so it can't be all bad, right?
Yay for joining the running crowd! Just take it easy, don't push it, get shin splints, think its terrible and give up. Start slow. I don't know this couch to 5K or Zombie Run programs, but just starting with a minute run, 2 minute walk, etc. and slowly build up your time/distance and then speed. Going too fast = failure!
As for recovery, my stitches seems to be a bit infected (probably from doing too much even though I have been sticking to no running/biking/riding/swimming and got help with the heavy stuff on Sunday). If they don't look better by tomorrow, I am calling the Dr. to get antibiotics. I had some issues with repeated infections on my face about a decade ago that turned out to be MRSA (or however its spelled) likely from dogs (meaning I catch it from dogs, don't pass it onto others, but can infect myself, apparently it 'lives' in the nose? And touching my nose then the acne on my face (which I have mentioned before until I realized if I stopped eating dairy I had terrible acne and picked it like crazy, so open sores, but now have ZERO acne -- tip for kids with teenagers suffering from acne)) anyway it took a while to figure out that was what it was, then a while to realize penicillin-based antibiotics don't work on me and I need sulfur based ones. So... if its not better by tomorrow, I'll call and get some antibiotics. Thanks for asking!0 -

EEEEee yikes! Take care of you!
I thought of you last night and what you said about running really strikes home. I started running again to help daughter. I started off, literally, running races, 5K's with her. Of course I'm not in shape for racing and running was not fun. I remember (1) it taking me a long long long time to get a good base and then (2) adding distance became very easy (last time I was a regular runner).
Regarding that, last night I just took a slow jog. It felt so much better. I didn't worry about speed or distance, I just enjoyed the slow jog. It didn't hurt, my calves were not complaining. I probably was going a turtles pace but it felt good. So thank you for great advice that I will continue.
Edited because I had a (1) and no (2). It was silly.0 -

Also- I love your new picture!
LOL so do I.
I also like this one.
Yes! I've seen this one before and always laugh!
There's another that says something about being able to fit into the hoop earrings you wore in high school. I'm awful at remembering exact quotes...and too lazy to look it up.
This should be a shirt.
This is great. Its up there with the Shark!

Not to make everyone sad, but I read this secret ages ago on Postsecret, and it really stayed with me. Although it would be hard to stay with a pet until the end, after reading this, I could never leave.
My brother's girlfriend told me she has never and will never stay with a pet when it is euthanized and... I confess... I lost a lot of respect for her. How you can have a pet for years, say you love it, then walk away right at the end is beyond me. Yes it's hard to stay, but I think if they could pick, they'd prefer to have their favorite person/people there with them.
Yea this and also when people get rid of pets when the animals are sick or old. That makes me so sad.
The ferret place I sponsor recently had someone bring in a couple of ferrets that had been listed on craigslist for free because the owner didn't want them anymore. One has adrenal gland disease so they just need some meds (their hair falls out). The people who take care of the ferrets hate that animals are treated like old merchandise and given away when the person no longer wants them. I agree.
This makes me sick. Sick Sick Sick. These peoples should be shot. And no, that is not judgmental. Its fact.0 -

Pshh, who you telling?! Lol! Trust me, Gamecock football is a RELIGION in our family!

We ring cowbells in our house when State scores. And I am apologizing in advance to everyone here because I can't help talking football...
I despise football. Sorry.
I'm with you Patricia! Both American and English. Also, cricket and golf.
Oh, God, golf. WTH(eck)! You listen to some guy talk in a hushed voice while a guy in pale blue khaki's (with patterns) walks up to a tiny little ball, hits it, and the crowd oooh and ahhhs.

Real Chinese food, in China, is freakin' amazing. And nothing like the American version.
I went to China I was mildly sick the whole time. I ended up having to just eat white rice. Literally lost 10lbs in 10 days. Everything make me nauseous. I figure they must have cooked everything in chicken broth or something. I have an iron stomach, that was the weirdest my stomach has ever been. I did love China though.0 -

I have made myself stop for 30 days on several occasions just to be sure I am not addicted. Many in my family are. I have gone as long as 10 days in the last year, but that is it. I get stressed and I want to go sit in the bar and read a book and have someone serve me a nice meal and drink wine. Since losing all this weight I feel like crap when I drink. But, I can't seem to totally quit it this time. I never crave it per se. I just went the escape of the 'night out' with no responsibility. But that is too close to addiction to me so I am continually trying to quit (as long as the FedEx man will cooperate -- some of you will get this reference ) 0 -

In other news, its fairly certain that I will be having a baby at the end of September. Much as I hate my sister for forcing it on me, I am a little bit (a lot) excited. And not just because it means i have to sell my flat and buy a bigger house
Glad you are excited for your new daughter and try to manage all you are taking on! What can seem exciting now can be overwhelming when it all starts crashing in on each other (I know this from experience) and you seem to be putting a lot of irons in the fire in the next year.

We planted a morello cherry tree this year and i can't wait for our first crop of cherries to come, hopefully next year. I love cherries, anything cherry flavoured, and paired with almonds (so bakewell) is just pure heaven.
If you need any cherries recipes (such as a cherry cheesecake brioche, cherry trifle towers, cherry crumble, cherry scones, then i'm your gal!
I've also go some jars of cherry soaking in kirsch, with almond extract (bakewell cherries!). I plan to give those as christmas gifts. Yes its homemade and a bit naff, but tough!

I tried to take daughter to the weight room and show her it is not a scary place.... (FAIL)
So it was more crowded than normal. Our gym is a club and is very family friendly and welcoming...except, it appears, the weight room. There were two other women in there and the rest guys of various ages.
I start lifting and daughter comes to hang out with me. Right next to us a loud conversation started:
Middle age man # 1 "How is your injury?"
Middle age man #2 "It is ok, they have me full of antibiotics. I was taking a (SH word for pooh) and sitting on the toilet and pulled a scab off and nearly passed out."
Me in my head (Really? You are established adults paying good money for this membership that stresses family values and a safe place and you loudly describe this when it is very clear there are four ladies within 10 feet of you?!?!?)
Needless to say daughter did not participate in lifting weights last night. I wish I could have a private conversation with those men about appropriate conversation in public areas. Daughter admitted that the conversation was part of why she didn't lift.

I think I own page 1462 for the most part. Going out for a final walk to get my 12K steps in before midnight. I missed my bike ride as I got stuck on a conference call and it got too late. Hopefully I can kick my butt out of bed tomorrow to do an AM and PM bike ride to make up for it (on allowed stationary bike!).

Not all men. Mr Tubbs would ask them if they thought that was an appropriate conversation to have in front of ladies. He would also give them his Oprah look. He's braver than me. I'd think of something smart and withering to say 20 minutes later.pofoster21 wrote: »I tried to take daughter to the weight room and show her it is not a scary place.... (FAIL)
