I have tried to start journals in the past and have failed terribly. But here I am......trying again.
I decided to get a new screen name and start completely over. I have been telling myself that as long as I didn't get over 200 pounds I was okay. Today I weighed 200.2. I want to weigh 175. That is 25 lbs. I can do 25 pounds. Several years ago I lost from 275 down to 192. Then down to 156.....up to 165....up to 175.....up to 185.....got married May of last year.....now up to 200. Over the last 3-4 months my exercising has decreased dramatically and my eating has went to
in a handbasket. I exercised yesterday using the 4 mile lesli sansome dvd for the first time since the middle of January.
Today so far I have eaten terribly :
serving of corn grits with sugar (4 pts)
1/4 c all whites with half slice american cheese (1pt)
peanut butter and jelly sandwich (7 pts)
3 very small chocolate chip toffee almond cookies (6pts)
cinnamon toast crunch (no milk) (3 pts)
I know I haven't tried very hard today. I am a stress eater and I have been stressed today. I have had ulcerative colitis since I was 12 years old. My ulcers decided to flare up today. My ulcers are triggered by poor diet and stress. I haven't had a flareup in years until today. I have a dr's appt today with my GI doc and I am concerned that they are going to try to put me on steroids(which have made me gain massive amounts of weight in the past). The nurse also told me on the phone that she wants me to get a colonoscopy
. I think that is unwise since my ulcers are actively bleeding (but whatever.....she's a nurse and I am not
). Also, the bummer is that when you are having a flareup you are not supposed to eat a lot of fiberous foods (like veggies, fruits, whole grain breads, nuts.....all part of a healthy diet that would help you to lose weight). If you have any healthy food suggestions let me know.
My job is stressing me out. I work at the mental health center as a secretary and since they are shorthanded, I am currently doing the jobs of three different people.
Unfortunately, I sit on my duff most of the day which contributes greatly to my inactivity.
I am not sure of my specific goals yet.....I just know that 200 is too heavy for me and have been on an upward trend for the last couple of years. It needs to stop before I am back where I started. I want to lose 25 pounds.
My first mini goal will be to lose 5 pounds in 1 month.

so I had to get stuck again). The lady that did me today got it on the first try
......She had told me to drink gatorade before and I think it worked. I stayed home from work again today because my stomach was still hurting me. Today so far I have eaten:
......but we will see how the ulcers take it
)
so that will burn a few calories.
. The peach one has the most with 15 pts. That was what I was originally going to go for but I think I might get the cookies and cream one since they are all about the same.
