Just Another Entry

Well, My husbands hormone replacement therapy is working well! He is extremely energetic, its crazyyyy. Yesterday he was up and gone by 6am and worked all day on our business expansion. He arrived home at about 6pm, he had picked up some delite pizza so I didn't have to make supper . Then he popped it in the oven, we all ate together. He ran a bath for our oldest daughter while I took care of our baby. Then whilst she was in the bath, he cleaned the entire kitchen, picked up the house... I was getting dizzy just watching him lol. Then he made a pot of tea, and we all sat in the living room and visited until 8:30 both kids were put into bed. Then we sat on the couch for about a half hour and spooned, the next thing I knew he was carting me into the bedroom for a very long and fantastic romp. LOL its like he's 20 again omg. :clap2:

Thats being active too right? lol And I went appliance shopping, and Grocery shopping, hey thats walking.. maybe could be called exercise but my heart rate wasn't up so I doubt it counts. We'll see what my friendly scale says in the morning.   Goal: For the next 5 days no ice cream, no sugar period. If I eat any sugar I will have to post a naked picture of myself!! lol if that doesn't do it nothing will motivate me.

The scale did not move today boo hooo! I did really well yesterday too and ate less than 900 calories plus exercised. Oh well I guess its just making up for the days I ate ice cream and still lost a pound. Or maybe I need to eat more calories to lose? Ive read some ppls posts about that, the 'starving body' syndrome or something. :cry Hmm well Im going to keep on with eating healthy today at a reduced calorie level and exercise and see what happens tomorrow. And no Sugar today!!   8:00 am Breakfast: Atkins shake + 1 scoop Unjury.   10:00 am Snack: SF choc. pudding (chocolotaholic).   12:30 pm Lunch: 1 1/2 peices stone ground whole wheat/grain toasted crustless bread, 2/3 cup sloppy joe meat, 1 activa blueberry yogurt.   6:00 pm Supper: 2 instant Cream of wheat, SF choc. pudding   Water: 80 oz.   Vitamins: 2 Tbs. Liquid multi, 1 calcium chew, 1500 mcg biotin   Exercise: cleaned my entire house   Goal: I purposely ate more carbs today, I want to see what effect it has on my losing weight tomorrow.

Daily Food Journal

Hm well this is very interesting, I think I really do need to eat more carbs. The scale went in the negetive direction this morning. Or maybe the secret is to change it up daily .. one day eat more carbs the next eat less? lol I'll get this figured out yet!!   7:45 am Breakfast: Atkins + Unjury   11:30 am Lunch: Sloppy joe meat @ 1 c., 1 small tomatoe diced, 1/4 small onion chopped.   3:00 pm Snack: 1 instant cream wheat, 1 SF choc. pudding.   6:00 pm Supper: 2/3 cup egg salad, 3/4 cup potatoe salad.   Water: over 80 oz., stopped keeping track after that.   Vitamins: 2 Tbs. Liquid Multi, 1500 mcg biotin, 1 calcium chew.   Exercise: 30 Mins 3mph treadmil, did 3 minutes jogging, and an extra 5 for a cool down at 2mph.   Goal: Stay on with my no sugar challenge! It feels great to be succeeding at something healthy. Even if I don't lose weight its so good for my body to have a break from sugar and to be getting exercise. I need to hire someone to take over some of my office work, I just can't do it all anymore. Ugh it feels like I am admitting defeat but I have to look at it as a smart business decision. So I guess my goal is to finally get off my duff and make some phone calls to lighten my load. I will call tomorrow.

Journal Entry

Everthings going pretty good for me. Im down another pound .. YES! I even ate some cake at a baby shower yesterday and two bowls of chili. Weird lol. My life is so busy these days, we have multiple building projects going, a business expansion, a six month old, a five year old, financing procurements, holidays approaching, birthdays... my head is a whirlwind. I just haven't had time to even focus on my weight or diet. I think thats just a testement to the band, im sure that in the past I'd have put weight on right now instead of losing another pound. I know that if I had more time to just be focused on my weight I could probabaly be losing faster but I guess I just have other things higher on my priority list at the moment. I feel like im so lucky right now, it kind of makes me scared because in the back of my mind I always think you can't have everthing for long. Its like im waiting for something to come along and knock the wind out of my sails. Maybe thats a bad way to think, but I guess I only think about it when im journaling so whateva.

Gotta Love Long Weekends

My husbands outside pressure washing the front deck, the lawn is mowed, the house is cleaned, the kids had baths, and last and most importantly (jk) I lost another pound!! yes! I ate over 1400 calories yesterday and still saw a markedly lower number pop up on my scale. Exercise is the key! Im pretty much getting used to my portions now and have learned pretty well what I can/can't eat, and what pace I have to eat at. Yayyy, the band is great.   7:30 am Breakfast: 13 oz. Chocolate calorie countdown milk + 1 scoop unjury.   10:00 am Snack: SF chocolate pudding.   12:00 pm Lunch: 1/4 Cup egg salad, 1/2 cup tuna salad, 1/4 of an Avacado mashed, 15 Kashi crackers.   5:00 pm Supper: A few bites of ribs, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, a few bites of broccoli.   6:00 pm Desert: My husband begged to go to DQ, bad bad I gave in and had 1/2 a fudge sundae.   Water: > 80 oz.   Vitamins: 1 flinstones, 2 tbs liquid multi, 1500 mcg biotin, 1 calcium chew.   Exercise: 25 Min. 3mph treadmil + 5 Min. 4mph jogging.   Goal: Exercise! I think its key, you don't even have to lose a lot of weight to see a big differance in how you look and feel.

Journal Entry

I really don't like titling my journal entries lol. Anyways things are going ok for me. Im eating less than I ever have in my life. But Im still having this nagging toe issue that just won't go away. I've stopped wearing heels, and been donning wide clunky shoes that don't pinch my toe or bother it. I've been putting hydrogen peroxide on it to clean it out twice per day. Today my five year old accidentally stepped on my toe and I thought I was going to pass out! LOL it hurt. I know I should go to a podiatrist but my husband had an ingrown tonail one time and went in and they cut half his tonail off... it looks ugly and I like my cute toes lol. I get pedicures all the time and keep my feet looking super cute. Im fat, so my butt looks hideous and lumpy but hey at least the feet are cute! Ughh I really want to start exercising. Tomorrow I should just try the treadmil and see what happens. Grrr. I have this weird little callous on my thumb too that just is irritating. Sometimes I think maybe my body is retaliating about having a foreign object (my band) inside it and making me suffer lol. Hmf maybe?

Sick Baby

My little Luciana is sick for the first time. She's 6 months old. I think she might have croup. Poor little thing. She has a check up on Wednesday, I wonder if she can get her vaccines when she's sick? I guess I'll find out. I hate taking my kids to the pediatrician lol its so dang germy! I always say if they aren't sick when you bring them in they will be when you leave. I bet it was nice in the olden days to have the doctor come to your home! :sick     Well I finally bit the bullet and exercised on my treadmil for 30 mins. Yeahhhh! I bought new shoes that are 1 1/2 sizes bigger than my usual and it did the trick. I don't think my sore toe is any worse than it was before exercising. So if it doesn't look worse tomorrow, I have no excuse to not exercise again!

Bad day today.

Sam seems so edgy and busy all the time. I think its his meds. but worry its him getting sick of me. It makes me sad. Makes me want to eat eat eat eat. Only now am I realizing what an emotional eater I am. Sam wants to build another 4 plex, part of me wants to do that too but I worry its not the best thing for our family/relationship right now. I worry that he wants to keep so busy so that he can be too busy to work on our relationship. I feel like we are ships passing in the sea, don't reallly know each other anymore. I feel like im the same as always but hes changing now because of his medication. Often I wonder if his libido is coming back but I repulse him because of my weight?? Everytime I try to ask him about it he says he doesn't know if its coming back or not. Says sometimes he thinks it is sometimes he thinks it isn't. We got into an argument saturday night, he held a grudge until today. For me once I say my peice the arguments over and I move on, for him it seems he just stays mad for so long. I think its his meds because he's never been this way previously. I hate his stupid tumor! I hope when I get thinner things will be differant. Maybe Ill be more fun and outgoing and turn him on again. Patience patience patience.
