Over 200 new me part 53 (open group)

This scale is plying with my emotions.....*that is all*

I so need to get out of this scale addiction. It is sad to say, that I literally "obsess" over the scale. It just cannot be healthy to my mental state for me to be weighing several times per day.

Since I have started back on the journey, I have fluctuated between 5-7 pounds lost. Most of those pounds were lost in September, and since October has started, I have been fluctuating between losing. So let's just say, I have not lost any pounds for October. Just very frustrating.

Yesterday was an amazing day of "doing it right" I stayed focus on being busy, not the food plan and by the end of the day, I was successful! This is the first time in like forever that I can say that. Usually I do the workouts and cringe at my eating choices. But yesterday was good!

Thanks momma24! I still prefer to flush with water but there are days that its just ice tea - decaf and splenda that is.

10/17-11
Under calories: YES!
Water: YES!
Workout: YES!

PROUD: I showed myself that I can do this "according to plan" and not having to have those "oops" moments that make me sweat the results at the end of the day. GEESH! Lots of quotes with me today. lol!

Hello you beautiful women! Lots of new faces to this sensational group of women look forward to getting to know you. Unfortunatley I have put on 10 lbs. this year so I am working on gtting my head back in the game to finish this weight battle and get to a HEALTHY weight to maintain. Posting with this group I was the most accountable and successful so I plan to finsih with you gals. On my own I just stalled and then gained. At my yearly exam my Dr. put my goal weight less than I had orginally planned, part of me feels like I am starting ALL OVER AGAIN! Thanks again to those of you who sent personal messages it is deeply appreciated.

Thanks sweetie! Congrats on your beautiful, most presious little munchkin. AWWWW, I have a tender spot for newborns.

Sooooo.... This past weekend was a "Farm Fling" weekend. A group of friends, a weekend to the family farm, fun, lots of food and alcohol... Not much good. On Sunday I helped my sisters cut firewood. My little sister (6' tall thin as a rail) is due with her first in two weeks. It is NOT COOL that she can out work me!!! That girl wields a chainsaw like she was born with one on her arm. GAH! Needless to say I was exhausted by Sunday evening and started to feel really sick. By the time we got home (about a two hour drive) I was aching all over and my nose was running like a spigot (sorry -gross I know) and I thought I was going to throw up. Monday was awful. I literally stayed in bed all but one horrific hour* around noon. Today I was up at 11:30 and worked from my couch for the afternoon/evening. I feel better now but what ever hit me hit me like a freight train!

*Not for the faint of heart or animal lover to read
So we have this rooster named Sirius - and he's been a big bully to another rooster named Ginny (we didn't realize she's a he) and we decided one has to go. I put Sirius in a crate in our garage after a rather nasty fight last week and we were trying to get the guts to butcher him since that is the practical thing to do and just killing him was wasteful and you can't really get people to take in your cranky mean rooster etc... Yesterday while I was dead to the world my dear husband let the rooster out into our front yard area assuming that if he wasn't in the chicken yard he wouldn't get into trouble. I guess he booked around to the back yard so he could attack Ginny - who ran to the fence and they started going at it. At this point Ken realized we really had to do something. He also (at this point) appears to have stopped thinking. He got a stump that we use to split firewood, and an ax and "dispatched" Sirius in the old fashioned way. Then... having a dead "pet" rooster and no idea what to do next... he picks up "both parts" and goes into the house, up to our room where he bangs open the bedroom door so I wake up to see this man holding our rooster... the body in one hand and poor decapitated Sirius's head in the other. He then DROPS the head onto MY floor. Picks it up and kinda shuffles and says "Now what?" OMG WTH:explode: :explode: :explode: I get up and put on flip-flops and follow the blood trail to the kitchen where I find my 70 year old husband SOBBING trying to pluck a rooster. OK that's just pathetic so now I can't be mad at him but I have a mess in my SINK and the kitchen isn't clean and there's no room to work and oh by the way I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. I decided to just clean it like a rabbit - so I removed the innards and skinned it and chilled it down and now there's a reasonably "normal" looking chicken in the meat compartment of our refrigerator that needs cooked. I'm still grossed out. I took all the remains and bundled them up along with the cutting board and threw it all in the trash. I literally threw up twice in the process. :embarassed: :sick: Then I went back to bed and had nightmares all afternoon.

REALLY?

Yeah.


But tomorrow is a NEW DAY and I will do GREAT! I'm feeling better and I'll go and work out and things will be fine at work and I'll eat right. That's my plan and I'm sticking too it!

Ugghhhh. Im over calories today, and i can totally feel it. It's my boyfriend(s birthday and I did ok today.....until I had some birthday cake I seriously lacked in water today, only got about 20 oz in which, now that I mention it, MUST be why I was EXHAUSTED this afternoon, and unusually achey. Tomorrow I start 30DS. Part of me feels I'm too big to bother starting, the other part feels that regardless, it'll do me good. Good night ladies, ill be back to being ME tomorrow.

I started 30ds this week and i am surely not doing it great, but i am trying to do it and that all that counts.

Hey everyone! Just by way of introduction, I am a mother/wife/student. I am busy busy and I feel like my health goes on the back burner, but I am just feeling downright crappy as of late, and I am ready to MOVE (preferably down). In life there are no guarantees and in my case that is the truth. My situation in life is all over the map, stressed, calm, happy, sad, yadda yadda. I am currently at my highest non pregnancy weight of 215. Blech. HELP ME. I need easy, quick, simple, ideas for eating right. I just got a bike so I am riding like crazy! I need ya'll,
