oops... i forgot the 1 serving of dairy

Morning ladies, I don't know why or how I'm awake, besides my stress I came home to my 3 year old having a croup attack. Thank goodness my 13 year old knows how to deal with it but that meant when I got in about 10:45 he was still yucky but much better and had to give him prednezone. (sp) you all know what that does to a 3 year old? OMG it was 2am before I could calm him down enough to lie in bed. Anyhoo... I'm going to not worry. I am going to see how things go in a day or 2, but i'm going to get out my la weightloss cards and try to revamp my eating habbits. right now i'm only eating protein and that is not great. Here is what i remember from them. 2 servings carbs/whole grain 3 servings fruit 4 servings protein 4 serving vegies 1 fat 1/2 salt water I know sounds simple but when you can't eat much more than 3oz of meat that is hard Well, either way, back to the gym today, drinking my coffee and then going to go workout. because I like going I might do more cardio every day and upper body weights one day and lower the next so I am taking a break - and on friday doing full body with weekends off and see how that works. I'll keep you all posted on the changes and if they are working. I hate plateaus

Hey where the heck was tracy KS today?

Jen thank you. I saw all you guys on and needed to relax, I'm worried, and that is enough to at least help me sleep tonight. I don't think I'm straining but could be just so bound up. I am going to get some whole grain bread and brown rice tomorrow. I try to do the veggie thing and that has not helped. anyway, I guess we will see tomorrow after the tea kicks in, but it is definately blood, that I do know. dbf was in the hospital last month for a week for a bleeding ulcer and had bloody stool (what brought him to the hospital) so that is why I worry something internal. I guess if it is really bad in the am I'll go to the hospital but hope it is nothing

Hi everyone. just getting in from work, early night. been catching up. Looks like everyone is having a nice relaxing day Ann - welcome, glad you were finally able to log on Terry - that does not look good. so...... I need some serious help - I know this is going to be TMI but I am actually very worried..... first = thursday night I worked the ovens and I started to get a pain in my port area, like i pulled it a bit. working the ovens involves the actual cooking of pizzas, from a small round to a 24 cut and they are heavy and lots of reaching, lifting and bending. so I was worried but I have been taking it kind of easy to heal and not as much pain... now you all know I have bathroom issues, I'm drinking tea as I type. Well, I have blood in my stool. I don't know if it is because I have not gone to the bathroom in 5 days and this has been a horrible cycle since surgery... or if I could have done some serious damage? What should I do...??? I know the tea might not be the best thing... but it breaks it all up and gets it out and I want to know how serious this is or if it is just from being so clogged up. help...

so because i'm slightly nuts I went on to the biggestloser.com and did a profile. I can't believe they charge money to be part of the website and get info, but anyhoo........did do a free profile. and when all was said and done, said I should be under 150 and that I should get 1533 cals a day to lose weight... so here is a thought... are we not getting enough and that is why plateau? right now I'm doing about900-1100 a day ... still much closer to the 900 mark.

Josieb - I am not stressed at work but i gain 2-3 lbs every night, it is gone by noon. I drank 90oz of water at work and 20 at home before I left - but it is so hot in there, sometimes i sweat sometimes not, but I know it is all fluid. I bring dinner or if i eat there it is a sm pc of chicken and some sauce, I don't eat pizza or pasta or anything. Doesn't matter, doesn't make a difference. I don't get it. How can I lose weight if i get up gaining 2-3 lbs every day. I need to go see my nutritionist this week. I am still not really eating so I don't get it. right now i'm 221 and once I wake up and can get some of this fluid out of me i'll be back down to 218-219. Does that make any sense. I'm on my feet getting a good aerobic workout for at least 2 solid hrs and on my feet working normal for the rest of the night. i can feel my muscles building. lots of lifting and pounding out dough

Hello everyone. Just kind of getting in from work. It took all I had today not to go to the gym but I didn't and I'm not going to go tomorrow. I am off on Monday and Thursday this week, I'm already tired of working 10 hour days but what can you do. Actually I don't think I would car so much if i had 1 weekend night off. anyway, I ordered chinese eggplant & black bean sauce for dinner. yum and hopefully the oils will help. I'm off to bed. I'll check in tomorrow when I wake up

Laura - you are absolutely stunning! I love the black & white's (they are always my favorites for some reason) I need to have that princess and frog sign... Love your Dad's shirt!

Just want to say good morning gals. I am going to look at Laura's pics that I'm sure are stunning. finally, got to sleep in Denise? I was told yest by a trainer that I got the the gym too much. what do you do there 6 days a week, that could have a lot to do with it!

That is so very sweet. and funny... Crack... Vegas is so very far, I would have to fly which would be horrible for me. I would try my best to do it but there is no way in the entire world I can go anywhere in FEB. I'll explain later my boy is looking for me... yes 1am!

TracyKS - WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO... congrats.... you are so cute Terry- Congrats on the Jeans.... I'm just happy I can get mine on Pamela, nice to have you back I am frantic, went to the gym and had 3oz chicken with salsa & sour cream and now shower and work in 45 mins.... whew......

Oh Friday the 13th. this is going to be a crazy night at work. LOL Well Judy - I'm trying to keep up with you. LOL It makes a huge difference when you are home. I would love the job I interviewed for the other day, but my first thought was, am I going to have time to work out? LOL But outside, walking and lifting job, so in the summer if I get to the gym 2 days I would be happy and winter averages 30-35hrs a week, so I will have time to go >LOL well speaking of.... I'm off in 5mins

lots of mixed emotions. how about atlantic city?

TracyK - I'm back down to 219 this am too and I am still retaining last nights 4 bottles of water. so I worked the ovens last night 3 hours straight without a break 8hrs in total. Hot is an understatement and 3 different heights. does that count as a workout?

Kat- that is the most romantic thing ever... how nice Morning all - very very tired, don't know why i got up... ok yes i do because I know kids will be up withing the next hr and by time i got back to sleep they would be jumping on me. so I'm going to have my coffee and watch the news in quiet.

Another great topic tonight I missed. I am a big huge (ok not as huge. lol) CHICKEN to do the online dating thing. My friends would make fun... I am a fat ass and think no one in the entire world would want to be seen with me... and then there are the freaks who just want cybersex! So although I feel so much better about myself, I don't know, but then again, will I ever see myself as a person that someone would want to be seen with. you gals seem to be pretty happy with your others... makes me wonder ...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

OK Michelle - I'm on my way... I'll have to pass right by you I'm going to do some research when I get home, off for real this time, be back about 11

Hey ladies if we have to fly to get to a cruise, how about leaving from VA? cheap to fly into Norfolk, or only a 9 hr drive for us who don't fly (MEMEMEMEMEM!!!) they have cheap cruises I looked into them last year

Amen:clap2:

on my fitlinxx website, there is a spot for lawn mowing so I say count it. I even have a calorie counter on the site so I count every minute I'm out there

TracyKS - only 13. you look great!

TracyK - I have never had one but I know now I am in serious trouble. I am waiting for my daughter to get home to watch her brother so I can leave. So here is something on my insane mind the last couple of days with all this TT talk..... So ya'll know I work in a kitchen... I hate that word apron so very much I refuse to wear one while I work. They all tell me to put one on but I try really hard to stay clean and believe in Bleach. Well tonight I am working on the pizza counter which I don't normally do, so I will have to, I'm too short to reach over the counter for stuff and always get a dirt/grease stripe on my clothes. I'd rather sweat my butt off working the 600degree ovens than have 2 aprons!!!! you all know I have crazy thoughts. I hope I can entertain someone with them... or maybe that someone else out there is slightly crazy like me. just so ya'll know - sad to say - these are all serious thoughts, but at least I can laugh about them now that I plan on changing my life forever

Judy - as usual, you are so wise and that is true. I started this journey Feb 2006 but consider my weight loss as of Jan 8,07, which was the morning I woke up and decided I was ready physically and mentally, which was why I finally decided to include total weight loss. so what a mess, I was cleaning out my email and outlook and screwed up my settings and now getting an error saying that I need to reinstall outlook. So of course... I can't find my program, but I am going to get up and get ready to go to the gym, that is more important than making a giant mess of my office right now. anyway, i'll be back to check in when I get out of work, I'm sure I'll miss a lot

AMEN!!!!! I'm right there with you on that one.
