week 13 day one

LOL ok, so i was on quilting retreat all weekend.. four days of sewing and eating bliss!! the result?? +4. which was expected. i totally cut loose and had zero control over what i was eating as each of the ladies was responsible for providing one meal for all of us. it was wonderful! and i put on four pound as a result. i am not beating myself up for it because i picked up my orthotic shoes today. then i found out i have to spend a week getting my feet used to them. LOL. i am gonna go put them on for my hour, right now.

week 12, day one

weight -13!!! mom has been here, and we went a little hog wild for the first few days, plus march break. i suppose i made up for it with all of our walking, because i am down another pound!! completely unexpectedly, very happy!

on an unhappy side bar, i had what i think was a gall bladder attack. holy christ that hurt!! hubby had his gall bladder taken out a few months ago, so i called him (he is out of town helping his mom pack up and move) and he agrees. i will have to go see the doctor.

mom and i are heading out of town on retreat for a few days later this week (i cannot tell you how excited i am!!). there are 7 ladies going all together, and everyone is to supply one meal for everyone. my diet this week will be entirely out of my control! i will have to make sure i go for walks so that i am not on my but in front of my sewing machine, packing on the pounds :)

week 11, day 1

weight -12 i am so stinking happy!! and totally on track for my year's goal. yay me! on the downside, it is march break. and my mom is flying in tonight for a two week visit. this means that my routine and eating are going to be off, and my life way off schedule. not that i am complaining, it is good to shake things up. but let's cross our fingers that nasty things don't happen to that -12

week 10 day 5

i am not off the wagon.. i didn't track today but i have been.. been good on green tea, been getting my fruits and veggies. i was told on wednesday that i have bronchitis, and today i took my boy in to see the doctor. he and i are both on anti-biotics. so my energy levels have been at an all time low. but i took the boy to his gymnastics, i ran after him for an hour. i was DEAD when we got home, but my friend K came over and she offered to help me put a bed together. my mom is flying in on monday so it needed to happen. so we did it. this was all yesterday and i am still trying to recover. my body is aching everywhere, but the knees... oh the knees.. if i could do without them, i totally would.

hubby asked me how long i am on the treadmill for a time, i told him 25 minutes and i did not volunteer that i have not been on it in weeks. i called my chiropractor to see when my othotics are coming in and it turns out they were waiting to hear from her, they had left a message for her that she never got. hopefully really soon.

today's sodium overload is thanks to subway. where i thought i was making good decisions. i knew the cold cuts were going to be a bit high.. 1200?? was double what i expected.next time, chicken breast i suppose.

week 10 day 1

no day that starts off with a speculum, should hold any accountability. didn't need to know that? i wish i could have skipped it too.. i saw the ob/gyn that delivered my son. she is amazing. i HATE paps!! i cannot stress that enough. i know that no ones likes them, but i HATE them! there are very few people with whom i am not in agony! and she is one of the few. it was quick, mild discomfort, then done. it threw my day off horribly though, and i am trying very hard to fight off a cold. in spite of this i managed to clean the bedrooms, put all the laundry in the laundry room and then quit for the day. LOL did you know that laundry will not take care of itself if you leave it conveniently in front of the machines?? so tomorrow will now be laundry day. along with everything else i was supposed to do today. i managed to track my calories, but pretty sure i missed something.. i can't think of what though.

if i gain weight, i have already called my friend K to tell her that it will be her fault.. LOL.. my mom is coming out for a visit and she requested that i borrow a bread maker. we don't own one and have refused to do so because we will gain 400lb each. my friend K loaned me her bread maker today. i had it in my house for 10 minutes and i found myself pouring ingredients in it for a chocolate loaf. stupid. i was going to make raisin bread, but it would be lovely fresh as my daughter got off the bus and she hates raisins. i thought it would be cruel. idiot.

i think, that it doesn't matter what you order from mcdonalds, it will throw off your numbers for the day. i has to. the sodium alone, in any of their foods, will kill whatever good intentions you have for the day. but the children love it. i am not eating out again ever, it simply isn't worth it later in the day.

week 9 day 3

i am in SHOCK! my thyroid levels are totally fine. alright.. time to stop procrastinating i suppose. i wish i was feeling better, though. maybe my body is is fat loss shock from that 9 lb.. yah think??? is there such a thing?? LMAO

i totally took today off. my daughter was in school, my son was in daycare, and all my cleaning was pretty well done. nothing required my attention. it was beautiful. i sewed, i lay down, i went out for lunch with a friend, i read. i didn't go crazy, i was aware of calories but didn't write anything down.

week 9 day 2

first of all, damn knees!!! i walked once! and they are aching!! well, i did spend 2 hours walking around the mall in the first set of shitty shoes... they have become my new outside shoes. i think they are trying to tell me something.. but i am not quite getting it... hhmmm....
