In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[chbc]

I no sooner sent the last message and my husband came in with cake from school. Costco cupcakes- I only had a bite, but not in my plan. I thought they were muffins and said oh I can resist that. The cupcakes were cut in half. The intention my husband had was to take home my daughters half from school. A teacher came along and loaded up his plate, now that plate is in my kitchen. I'll tell ya- I'm in here and they are there. I am no longer tempted b them this is therapy. I'm doing well not being tempted, but I have yet to go back in there. I'll let you know how it goes.

[goofyfan-12]

sorry folks... had to go and get my gray hairs covered up and it took a while.... I just got home, ate my dinner (JC pizza and a bowl of beets... sounds like an odd combination, but they were the only veggies in the house at the moment... I so need to do a grocery store run....) and I am soon to be off to exercise....

As you can see, the life of this single gal is so exciting....

Anyways.... back to Dawn's question about height... I am 5'-3" tall... basically, I'm short and still fat... granted, I am a little less fat than when I first typed that on this board, but I can't classify myself as thin yet, so that will have to do... I may not be able to change my height, but I am certainly changing the weight...

Have a great night everyone... I am off to sweat away some calories....

Goof

I spent a few days in Tuscany during my trip to Italy about 10 years ago and absolutely loved it there...
Amongst all the work, don't forget to come up for air from time to time...

I like the bacon ones better. I like sausage but my first love is bacon, for sure.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRUMPS!!!

Gotcha... Will definately try the bacon ones then... I am just always leary of microwaveable bacon... LOL!

 

[HockeyKat]

The bacon in there is almost more like bacon bits... I love the hormel 40% reduced fat bacon bits that you can get in the salad isle. 1 TBSP is 25 calories and adds some yum-factor to my salad.

And... drumroll... I am down -5.6 lbs as of my weigh-in this morning. for a total of -7.4 since I returned from Disney and weighed on Feb 4th.

W00t!!! grats!!!

Hang in there and keep reporting back. Even though it is hard for you to see him in pain and unhappy, he ultimately in the place he needs to be in order to heal.

So, I got on the scale...didn't even squeeze my eyes shut... and the scale said 143. Ok, so it is above 140, but I am ok with that. I should be under that 140 mark pretty quickly...it is in my sights. I'm good.

Ok, so the wait is over. Thanks so much everyone for supporting me through this! It really helped knowing that I was going to come here and everyone would be supportive no matter what the number was! Thank you for that.

Thank you... and...YAY!!!! You did it!!! 143 is great! I bet at least 3 of those lbs are from AF. I usually go up as much as 5lbs. Now you have to refrainfrom becoming obsessed with the scale. I used to be like you and even threw my scale out then once I bought a new one, I weighed myself everytime I walked passed the evil thing. Now I am a once a week weigher

It's funny, you fear the scale, and I have a complusive need to weigh every morning. I have been trying to break myself of this habit and haven't weighed since Monday.

After I weigh myself, I kick it under the bed far enough that it is annoying to dig it out more than once a week. I know, I have issues.

Today is the day I officially have lost 20 lbs!!!! I was super excited to see the scale this morning.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That must be a great feeling!

What will your reward be when you reach GOAL? (I am already assuming that we will all go out and get kick-a** new wardrobes, so that is a given! )

But what will it be for you...

So...what'll it be????

If I somehow win the lotto at the same time that I reach my goal, I will have a nip and tuck and the lopsided sistas lifted and evened out. And a mommy only weekend at a spa.

soooo...I know that I will weigh in tomm....but last week on Friday I was at 257.3.....and today...at 253.8!!! Is that a loss of 3.5#??? Can that be right??? Where in the Heck is my calculater????

If my scattered math is close...lots of encouragement to stay good today!!!!

That is definitely 3.5 down. Excellent!!!

I will get hair extensions...maybe..$700 for naturally curly hair.....and I will get a tuck in suck for the old tummy...and a hike and spike for the sistas!!!

I will also plan a dream vacation by opening up a map and pointing....always wanted to do that...drive to dream spot and make dream spots along the way!! Soooooo many cool places I have never seen...like my feet recently standing up and looking down!!! Or my Va JJ...I assume she hasn't left me too!

I read your post to my officemate, aka my cousin and we were both cracking up!! Thanks for the laugh!

It was a real happy time getting caught up on the board this morning. So proud of the 20 pound loss , the scale step , G'pa surgery scheduled , all the encouragement for each other.

That is why I love it here, everyone is so kind.

Okay, gang, off to Vegas now...wish me luck, and stay healthy for me while I am gone!

Have a wonderful time!!

Beets and pizza...ugghh! Trust me, the married life isn't too exciting either. I made a tent in my livingroom with a sheet and the diningroom chairs and sat in there with my kids and told ghost stories while my DH played on the computer.Then we went to bed at 9:00 because we are all sick. In fact, DS3 slept with DH becuase he is coughing and I slept on the couch. It was Valentine's Day, right?!?

It is on Grumpy Man!!! I will get #1000... Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!


Kat, Congrats on the loss!!!

Update: For whatever reason, they moved my granfather to the nursing home at 930 last night! He was scared and upset. Mind you he had yet to get out of bed since his fall and has not had the surgery yet. Last night, mydad got a call that he had fallen when he got up to use the bathroom. Not a great start to his stint at the nursing home. He hurt his elbow but his neck was OK since it is inthe brace. Apparently, they are going to do the surgery next week right in his bed. I have no idea how to spell this but they are debreading(?) his wounds.


Oh, and I am 5'8.

Congrats on the loss... That is awesome.... you'll be back to your pre-vacation weight by the end of next week.... and then it will be on to the next level.... you go girl....

Beets and pizza...ugghh!

I have to admit, it wasn't one of my best combination of foods, but I did eat my veggies...

From what I remember, it took a good 4 - 6 weeks before Gram really settled in to her new surroundings at the nursing home. The staff spent the first week alone trying to keep her seated until they had a better feeling for what movement she was capable of. Don't be alarmed when you see the seatbelts on the wheelchairs... they are a good thing and are tied to an alarm to notify the staff when the patient is tring to get up unattended. It may seem strange to see your loved one buckled in, but it really is an effort to keep them safe. Hang in there, it will get easier....

Oh, and I am 5'8.

Thank you for the update on your grandfather. My mother used to work in an assisted living home. Did you pick the home? If not make sure its a good one and he is getting everything he needs. My aunt got put in one and unfortunately due to her income it was not so great and my dad went to visit her and her hands were blue... The nurses apparently thought she was buzzing for them just to be a pain. So keep an eye open and don't totally disregard things he says. I hope all works out for you!

 

[born2bird]

Thank you Goof and 3DK... The one thing that makes me feel a bit better about him being there is that my SIL works there and will be able to keep an eye on things. We made it VERY clear that he is related to her so hopefully that will keep the staff on their toes. The seatbelts on the wheelchairs did concern me but it does make sense.

 

[born2bird]

#1000...take that Grumps!!! LOL
