Taryn- You're so SWEET! I feel so special that I was missed! I had three clients today and didn't have much time this morning. I just got home at 3 and have been doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen and watching the neighbors kids for a few minutes.
Glad it was for a productive reason! I was worried about your weird feelings yesterday!
. I'm working on another bottle of water, one over my usual amount, so go me!
WAY TO GO!!!
3lb weight loss. I have been really good with my HH though. I think I will be 21/21 again. Trying really hard! I haven't missed a day of exercise since I started journaling on Jan 4th. I think I only missed one or two days since Christmas.
As of today I have lost 11lbs in this challenge but even better I've lost 35lbs since I hit my all-time high of 237 almost 2 years ago. I'm going to try and get better at responding to people. I work nights so when I come back the responses are usually old but I am going to try and join in more!
That's awesome to get those HH. You are really setting yourself up for success! I am so proud of you! Reply whenever, old or not, it's fun to jump in!
ANd great loss this week!!!!
DH had a not so great day at work so I thought we could use a pick me up! I'm very happy to say that things are picking up at work!
Sorry Brian had a bad day. I know the feeling, doesn't make for a fun evening for anyone! Soo happy for you that things are picking up at work. You know, I heard Joyce Meyer say on tv the other day that you have to be careful w/ money. If you don't have any and are jealous of other people that do, it's just as bad as having a lot and being greedy. That really hit home with me, and realized I do fight jealousy sometimes, so I was really pleased that I was happy that your work picked up!
That will really help that cruise fund!!!
Ha-Ha... I wish I had been 137 2 years ago.. Definitely would not have been an all-time high... more like an all-time low in my adult life. I think maybe 8th grade I was about 137?
I don't think I was even then...
Your and Tracey's little conversation gave me a chuckle tonight!
CC--
I know it's hard. I have really been there. And I have had days where I've eaten like that. I've had days when lunch was a half a bag of lays, dip, chocolate and diet soda. You have to replace the food with something else. It's filling some need for you right now. It might even be that you are afraid of success.....does that make sense? string cheese, small serving of pistachio crisps, nuts (unsalted), apples, bananas, spoon of organic pb, a veggie burger (no bun), mint luna bar, peanut pretzel cliff thingy--can't remember what it's called, and very rarely a tiny bit of ice cream. And on days I have long runs I have salted pretzels--as many as I want, because I need the salt to avoid nausea! I am really glad we have two threads, because it's been good for all the new folks, but I miss my old friends!
Funny how you've moved to ice cream. Is is chocolate flavor or do you just not want the chocolate anymore? I totally agree with everything you said to CC! I need to find these Luna bars. And I know exactly what you mean about the 2 threads!
Today has not been a good day after Physical at doctors yesterday I had a spot removed on my leg today. The doctor does not like the looks of it. Now I have 4 stitches and was told to keep my leg elevated tonight because I bleed easily. No excerise tonight so will have to double tomorrow. I will not know the outcome until next week of the biopsy.
Did the doctore clear you for exercise tomorrow??? Be careful!! We will give you a reprieve for a few days, I promise. You might have to extra watch the calories, but I want you to be careful!!!! Sending prayers to you!
We have started off this year with an unexpected death in the family, an unexpected death of someone I have gone to girl's night out with (a 35 year old relative of a friend) and most recently, a traumatic brain injury of a 19 yo daughter of a family that we have been involved with over the years (school, church, ptsa). I have been struggling mentally to keep on task and also have been thinking about maintaining and whether I will always have to have this tight focus on food and exercise--which seems especially relevant when we have been reminded that there are so many important things in life and how fragile life is. I won't share the gory details, but I'm having too many issues after my runs to ignore. So even though I had a fabulous run today, and even forced myself to go a little slower, I have decide I can't ignore what's going on anymore.
height 5' 7.6"
weight 142.4
bmi 22
body fat 20 percent
body fat mass 27.9 pounds
This puts me in the excellent category for body fat, which leads to the question, do I really need to lose anymore weight?
Ready for a session with Dr. Taryn? YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL! That is an excellent reading. I have read that to have defined abs, you have to have a body fat percentage of less than 15%. I think that is fabulous! I had something like that done for a wellness screening back in Oct for work, Those numbers can really, really, really mess with your head. I can't tell you where you need to be, what you need to be at, but I want you to be HEALTHY! That's so sad about the TBI of the girl, I am sure that makes you miss Tom even more! Glad you are getting checked out. Have you pm'd Kathy? I remember you guys talking about this a bit a while back, she might have some more info for you.....Just take it easy, stressing over what the dr. may or may NOT say isn't going to change what he/she says, so just take it when you hear it. As you said, there have been sooo many things to remind us of the fragility of life, and don't waste it worrying.
Time to watch Ghosthunters with the family before the girls go to bed! Good bedtime show
And they still sleep before 8pm? WOW! I am impressed. AK would still be up tomorrow!
AI is on, so we watching it. I am really hungry, just ate an orange and an apple, and still hungry. Gotta try to get busy and stay out of the kitchen. I've had 100 oz. of water and a 10 cup pot of coffee today, not sure what's going on with me this week. It really is hunger, not boredom, or anything else. Had a spoonful of pb before dinner, ate some nuts today, so I've had fats. I've had at least 5 serving of fruit and veg, just don't know what's up.
Worrying a bit about Sophie, she's not learning letters as easily as I would like for her to at 4, and her small motor skills aren't as well defined. I am worrying about when I dropped her, and afraid there is something in the brain that we don't know about. Don't know what's up with stressing over this today...
Might be back later!
Taryn
your way that there is nothing to worry about re: biopsy.
Did you live in MO at all before/after college? (assuming you're a Mizzou alum based on your SN). I live in St. Louis. Be glad you're in TX now - we are getting buried in snow here! 
pink days ahead!!!!
Usually I can figure it out, but today is a mystery. I am off today and really happy about that!
