Lorann - SW 285 / GW 155 (changed this) / CW 234 = -1 lb

Went to work this morning to go to a staff meeting.... what a waste of time.. of course nothing was accomplished... should have just taken the whole day off instead of just this afternoon. Weigh in day... I don't know if I look forward to this day or if I dread it... it's a bit of both :laugh: So even with my trips out of town and all that restaurant food I was still down a pound this morning... so that's a good thing the bad thing is I kinda overate at lunch today... but with all the cleaning I have to do today I should be able to work it off... but I'm going for a nap first, then will start to get this house in order... it's been a complete disaster since last week when I was gone.

I might not be on here much as I have company coming for the weekend, you all have a great day and weekend!!

First off Laughingfox....welcome. This is a great group. I have been here for about what 6 to 8 weeks now gang...they are so supportive and not just with your weight but in everything in your life. You need a friend or friends...they are here for you. So you have chosen a great group of people to have as your support system.

Pawprint...I have been getting some pretty painful ones too lately. But just to doctor's and after him just telling me in May I had cyst and then in June that they were gone he still says they are gone as per Xray last week. But man the pain...the other day was bent right over - so popping the ibprofen. But still waiting for my pelvic and abdominal ultrasound test...see what comes out of them In the meantime girl...you go get yourself checked out and ensure things are okay.

Prayerful mom.....going to try your advice to Pawprint with the interval walking. I have heard of that before....but had forgotten it...but thanks for reminding me.

Now for me...yep like Lorann I gained. I know it is because I have sort of falling off track. But this is a new week. TOM is over and starting to get my motivation back. Man I wish that thing would just go away...takes me way down...too far down emotionally, mentally and physically. Anyways, it isn't going anywhere for awhile so might as well stop complaining about it.

Well that is it for me....take care all.

Hugs :flowerforyou:

At least I didn't gain a ton lol. Way to go Mana on your loss. That's awesome. Tsk tsk you gainers lol. Good job on mainlining crazybee and prayerfulmom. Keep up the good work. Welcome Fox, this is an awesome group your gonna love it.

Well group out of here for a couple of days again. Hubby and I are on vacation again and taking off for 3 days. Going back up to Manitoulin Island for couple of days. On my way back will be stopping in to visit Cindeebee. I will let her know we are all missing her.

Anyways, will probably go off track for a couple of days as eating at restaurants and stuff and that is my weak spot. But starting Tuesday - back on track for me.

So talk to you all in a couple of days. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Take care,

Hey everyone!

My day has been rough -- emotionally, I am at the end of my rope, so, alternatively all day I have been fighting with the urge to A) overeat to make myself feel better or not eat anything, because sadness makes my stomach sick. I haven't done either, so, I guess I must be improving? Does anyone else here struggle with low mood / depression, and how does it affect your weight loss?

On a lighter note, I walked my usual distance -- 3.2 mi -- in a FASTER time than usual! And it is my TOM too! So I am proud of the speed I made, especially when I am feeling pretty awful, physically. Before I started diet/exercise, I couldn't walk up a whole flight of stairs without pitching a tent and resting for the night, LOL, so, going on a whole walk in less than an hour feels pretty good.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day, and a great weekend.

That's the way, laughingfox! You've learned to not turn to food... and we almost all struggle with that. You're doing great!

I'm in a weird mood the last little bit, it's really bad today though. I've been cleaning my house like mad, organizing stuff, just finished organizing my closet, went thru my stuffed desk drawers and pulled out important paper work to file in one place, reorganized my bathroom drawers and cabinets... I'm just crazy! I also redid most of the garage (my side). Hubby says I"m turning OCD. I think it's because (1) I've finally had a break for a few hours from the boys this past week, so I have energy to do the stuff I've been wanting to do and (2) in order for my house to be neat everything has to have it's own place, and I"m working on finding everything a place. and (3) the house did need to be cleaned, the laundry room seriously needed to be cleaned, and the garage really needed to be swept, so it's not like I'm cleaning already clean stuff, ya know? I'm not the best housekeeper but our screen door broke so when it's hot and we have the patio door open, we get flies, so I had to keep dishes out of the kitchen, etc. to keep the bugs away. Hubby's never seen me not have dirty dishes somewhere in the kitchen before, LOL. Another reason is dufus boy #2 will take anything off the counters, if it looks like food, he'll eat it (eww), if it is liquid he'll drink it, and pretty much touch everything (although the countertop is off limits). He cut himself with a knife, could have been bad, wasn't deep though, a few weeks ago, so I learned my lesson. Plus when hubby has some scotch sometimes, dufus boy has taken a drink of some leftover the next day.. not good!

So that's been my day, cleaning, organizing, sweeping, trying to get hubby to help (unsuccessfully). Ok on my food, had beans and leftover hot dogs for dinner, forgot the costco hotdogs were so high calorie. Dangit. Anyway, I didn't eat bad on purpose. DId have a Costco muffin for breakfast (600 cals) but I woke up late and skipped lunch, just ate a small snack, so I think I was ok on cals until dinner (have to log dinner to find out if I'm ok for the day). But at least I didn't pig out on anything.

update on me no change in weight but been sick all week - didn't have any energy, stomach hurt and ran a fever til last night about midnight. I am gonna try to get it back in gear this morning with walking but not pushing it hard cause not wanting to overdue. my water is like LI4G - some days goes easy and others is I don't want any. so we will see. hope everyone has a good Sunday and Monday - I work both days so no rest here. TTYL

yay! I just worked my last night shift! Got out early too since it was slow. I have the next couple days off, then work Wed-Friday during the day shift then Im finished. I caaaaant waiiiiiiiit!!!!!!! :0)

I got my water drank today for sure. About 3 liters worth! Dont know why but I was a thirsty girl today!
