Strep Throat

Ended up going to the ER tonight. I just couldn't take it anymore. Bad case of strep throat. They gave me a hefty dose of antibiotic via a shot. Ughhh I cant wait until it starts working. This is worse pain than my c-section or my lap band surgery, I swear to god. I can't handle it!!! The doc was going to give me some strong pain meds but im nursing so I had to pass. I wish I woulda just taken the stuff. If someone was standing next to me and offered me morphine or heroine lol Id be sooo tempted.

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.

OHHHH yayyyy MY journal!!! its baAACkkk!! yesss!!

Oh my gosh im so happy to have this journal back. I thought it was gone forever. I didnt even realize how much it was meaning to me until it was gone. OMFG yes! lol.   Im just sitting here staring at the journal entry screen with the biggeset grin lol.   Ok so back on track, gotta start journalling all my food again. I just got a fill on Wednesday so I've been on liquids. I can start eating more regular foods tomorrow. Tonight I blended up some soup with noodles in it, Im not sure if it was in my head or for real, but I seemed to get a full feeling quicker.. Or was it the soup?? or was it my band?? or was it.. lol. I'll find out tomorrow when Im eating regular food again.   Exercise well Ive got a toe issue. I had an ingrown toe and it grew out now but my toe is still swollen on one side. Dangit. Im going to give it unti monday to feel better and then decide what the heck to do. I really want to exercise. Im taking this new way of life seriously. I wanna be hot soon! lol well sorta soon, I don't want to lose all my hair. I have a funky neck, I keep my hair long to hide it. I just think my neck is fat. Once I get down to about 170, it doesn't bother me though. I think if I end up having plastic surgery I'll have the surgeon look at my neck and see if he can do lipo on it.   :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: Kissing my journal:kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2:

Sam

Sam's results came back from his blood work from Monday, everything is improving but not his testosterone levels. Next appt. in Sept. will be the MRI and blood tests again. Doc will probably start him on testosterone if his levels haven't improved by then. He's looking kind of peaked this week, I hope he's not getting sicker. What would I do without the love of my life? I've got to just pray that his tumor is shrinking. I've got to believe he will be ok and make it through this. At least he is eating healthier now that im eating healthier.. thats gotta be a good thing. Ive gotta get healthy and strong so that I can take care of him and our family if need be in case he has to have brain surgery. I can and will do this! You can take that to the bank.

Goodbye Pound 209

Yippee skippee, im down another pound. I was on #209 for almost a week. But today its officially 208! Yesterday during one of my many scale sessions (lol) I was at 207ish but I won't count that because it wasn't at that for long. Today I want to stay on track and eat healthy. I think I have a rib out of place so I don't think I'll do treadmil today. I want to eat something bad to reward myself.. some reward though if I end up gaining the precious pound I lost back! I won't reward myself with food anymore!   9:00 am Breakfast: Atkins + Unjury   12.00 pm Lunch: Chicken spread, 16 Kashi Crackers.   3:30 pm Snack: 2 SF pudding cups. Why did I feel the need to have 2???   6:00 pm Supper: Chicken and Broccoli.   Exercise: Walk with the family 1.5 miles.   Water: > 70 oz,   vitamins: Liquid multi, Calcium, Biotin   Goal: Treadmil tomorrow.

Getting Ready to Hybernate!

I read someones journal (Moorless) and she mentioned this time of year your body wants to put on extra weight for the winter, and I am so feeling that today. Im craving starchy fatty foods!

Yippee, I really pushed myself today. When I got on the scale it said 207.6... then later I weighed myself it said 209. Grr tomorrow if it says anything below 209 Im changing my ticker immediately. 209:fencing:207   Goal: I kept the calories to about 1000 today. I exercised pretty hard for my abilitys.

How did I go down another pound today?

I weigh myself every AM, I know its not usually a good thing to weigh yourself daily but it works for me. Anyhow Im down another pound and I feel like I have been eating so much. Im nursing my baby still though and I suppose she's eating more now as she is getting bigger.. 4 months +1 week old and weighing about 18 lbs. A very chubby cherub baby! But nursing makes it so difficult to gage how much I can eat. Its neat that I can eat more calories and still lose weight, but its difficult because I really do need to eat more calories and I think I do feel more hungry than the non nursing person. I would just like to know how all the celebrities do it??? *hmpf*

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.

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.
