You are doing a great Desiree! Keep up the good work!

 

[Desiree]

Thanks Tracy!

Yesterday I did fairly well. My back is still a little sore but it really doesn't hurt bad, just a little annoying, nagging ache. It hasn't stopped me from cardio or sit-ups.

I got all my water in yesteday and did the Elliptical for 30 minutes. Yesterday's food:

B- Nutrigrain
L- Tuna Fish sandwich w/ 5 baby carrots
S- Another nutrigrain (I was really hungry yesterday for some reason)
D- 2 soft tacos

Well that's it! Off to start my first 32 oz of water! Have a great Thursday everyone!

Well didn't make it to the gym yesterday. My grandma is back in the hospital and I'm probably not going to make it to the gym today either. She's in ICU, originally for asthma but now they think she may have had a mild heart attack. I've got to go relieve my mom and aunt after work tonight. I'll try to squeeze in what I can here and there at the gym this weekend.

Yesterday's food:
B- Boiled Egg
L- Grilled Chicken Caesar
D- 3 chicken fingers and a handful of fries

Desiree,

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I hope all is well. Do what you can with the exercise, but first things first. Take care of yourself, too!

My thoughts are with you and your family!~ Please keep us updated!

Be sure to take care of yourself!

 

[Desiree]

Thanks everyone
I went to the gym and did the Elliptical for 35 minutes this morning then went up to the hosptial for visitation hours. She's looking much much better this morning! Her oxygen levels are up and the asthma seems to be in check. But she still is in ICU but hopefully later today they will move her into a room.

Weigh in this morning is 191. I was hoping to be under 190 but at least I am down another pound. So since being back on track since the 1st I'm down 2.5 pounds. Not as much as I had hoped but with the bloat fairy here last week and me not able to exercise the last 2 days, I'm not really surprised. And the last two nights in a row I've had fast food albiet in moderation, I'm still right at the 1200 mark in my calorie intake for each day.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

[wilderness01]

Glad to hear your Gram is feeling better. Congrats on losing that pound.

Great news about your Grandma! Keep up the great work! You have the 180's in your sight!

Good morning everyone! I haven't been posting much as I should but I'm trying to hang in there! I spent most of the weekend on and off to the hospital. But I did manage to get to the gym twice since Friday. I think the real challenge is going to start when my grandma gets home from the hospital though. Before she gets home, I'm going to head over to her house and clean it from top to bottom. There is just layers of dust everywhere. She is a packrat so it'll take some time going through and organizing just to start the cleaning process but with her Asthma, I think anything would help at this point. And she is going to be needing alot of care from this point forward I think. She's not as independent as she used to be. We're thinking of a home health nurse to come and check on her often but I think she may need more help in other areas too (like help getting to the bathroom and getting her food). So we're just in the discussing and planning stages of figuring this out and how we will manage. All of us (grandma's two daughters, my aunt and my mom, and myself all work), so I think we're going to have to start making decisions on a few things. But I think a Home Health nurse is a step in the right direction.

And as I discovered today when I woke up that I'm starting to get a sore throat and feeling a bit icky. I'm so glad I managed to clean my house yesterday. I know I won't feel like doing that tonight. I will be heading to the gym depending on how I feel later on this afternoon.

Well that's about it for now. I'll try to hit a few journals in a bit!

Oh I forgot to mention, I'm going to sign up for a weight loss program at the Gym. They're holding a contest starting next Monday. I figure I could use all the incentives I can get to get me on the downward slide!

Hope you all have a great day!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Not the sore throat!!! (I think DH has strep... He is going to get it checked out today!)

 

[plutosmyfav]

Hi Desiree
Hugs to you and your family as you go through this difficult time. Maybe the sore throat is from inhaling the dust while cleaning yesterday. The gym challenge sounds great. Maybe it will give you something to focus on while making tough family decision. Keep up your great work, take good care of yourself while helping out!

Hope you're feeling better soon. Good luck with your Gram helping her get the assistance she needs.
