Christmas Countdown Challenge (Closed) - Week #10

Thank you for all the prayers for my son & me. I am back to normal. My son made a tiny bit of progress today but I guess it isn't enough for the doctors. They told my husband tonight if Ody doesn't start making real improvements that he may have to be permanently placed on a ventilator. We are going to have a meeting on Saturday with all the doctors to discuss everything. Please keep praying!!

JustJenn- My birthday was last Friday. I wanted Ody to come home for my birthday but I got to go see him which was my 2nd choice.

I did dance for 1 song today. Have a good night.

Just weighed in and down another Lbs
so CW 225

Forgot it was Friday, so I'll hopefully remember to weigh in tomorrow. Not expecting a nice number because of not having exercised at all, all the steroids I'm on, and just having a really terrible week overall... :ohwell: I hope I start getting better soon, but last night I still had a 103.8 temperature from this stupid infection, my heartrate was still too high, and my breathing is still more difficult, so no measurable improvement yet....:frown:

Angie, still keeping Ody in my thoughts!

I was so proud yesterday. My first class was cancelled yesterday afternoon. So I had an hour and a half between work and my second class. I originally thought Yay a break, I can just go home and relax and hang out for a while, but then I thought no... this gives me an opportunity to work out. So when I got home 30 day shred level 2 was on demand so I did that instead of sitting. Then I did dishes. So I felt really accomplished and to make it feel worth it, this morning when I got up I have lost the 4 lbs. I gained over the past 2 weeks. So now I feel motivated.

Thanks for all the imput earlier regarding fitting exercise into my aweful schedule. Only 6.75 month til things are back to normal. Have a great Thursday everyone! Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!

I am so impressed!!!! That is FANTASTIC!! Just remember this schedule isn't forever. Keep taking advantage of the time you have and you will feel GREAT!

Luvmypj - You are super fantastic! Keep up the good work...I'm working hard to follow in your footsteps!

my weight last week was 291.6

Haven't weighed in this week yet.
I've been a very bad girl lately so don't really WANT to see what my weight is this week. :sad:

Weighing in on Sunday this week if that's ok as i use the scales at work and am not in till then X

Gosh I don't think I should be posting to you today! During the morning I have written 3 long posts and accidently erased them all. Then I highlighted my first sentence just now on accident and it erased:explode: :explode: This laptop is the best thing I have ever gotten, but it has it's touchy issues.

Anyway Happy Friday Friends! I am sending wishes of good health and big losses!!!! If you are struggling PLEASE stay in the game!!!! It will come I promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have some good things to report

I am challenged alittle which I hate to say!!!! As you know I love to focus on the positive. Are any of you on the mentopause train?? I have been having signs here and there but maybe I have just bought a ticket!!!!! This week I have not felt like myself. Yes I have had stress but I feel in control and calm about that. I have been light headed and close to fainting, pressure in my head, burning hot face and hot flashes, and alittle nausas. The worst light headed spell I had I was DRIVING on the freeway!!! I was able to exit and rest, drink water and regroup. I am eating and drinking water, BP is OK. I have made an appt with my doctor but cant' see her for 2 weeks. I have lots of work next week and can't be feeling crappy! I also have to keep up with my workouts. I am on a roll and need to keep this positive habit! I rested the day of the big spell. Yesterday I had another one, I skipped my gym workout since that instructor would have killed me, but I took a 2.5 mile walk with big hills to burn some calories.

I have a couple more stories but will check in later. I don't want to take up a whole page by giving you a novel to read :ohwell:

GOOD NEWS - CW 186.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3.9# loss

See if you stick to it no matter what it will work!!!!!!!! You can do it.... I want to follow in luvmyjp's footsteps!

Let's go!!!!!! Back to work for me

Jenn & PositivePower, thank you. I'm trying. I'm headed back to the hospital tomorrow AM because I can't keep my fever down at all. An infection + being immunocompromised is a nightmare. :ohwell: I have a busy, busy week with school and work next week so I need to be functional!

CW 192.8. Loss of 1 pound... Yippee!!
I ate terrible today, not sure why but it happened and tomorrow I get back
On track.. Hopefully my hubby does not encourage not so healthy eating... Some times I swear he does not want me to loos weight... Love him with all my heart!! But sometime he hinders my diet... Oh well no excuses!!! Back on track tomorrow!! Yes I will do this...
I have about 10 pounds to make my CCC goal and I would actually like to loose closer to 13... That would be a big mark for me I'd be back to pre-pregnancy weight... Wow can't wait!!
Hope all is well and or looking up for everyone!!! Prayers to you all!!!
