  2. All your travels sound so much fun!! But very tempting with food and less working out!! How is the couch to 5k going??
  3. Eating and motivation hasn't been there for a couple weeks just need to get to it! Put back on about 3 lbs but I know I can get that right back off. Work ugh high stress this new boss is not working out! It's aweful at work! The new boss and I had words on Friday. And earlier in the week me and another supervisor were in his office and when I went to walk out of the door he put his finger up and not thinking twice I said who are you fingering meaning putting your finger up to. And his response I'm not fingering either of you and the two burst into laughing I said you know I didn't mean it like that! It's uncomfortable at work now but I have to have a job. We just built a house and have three boys to support. Ugh this is really stressing me and not focusing on my weight. I feel sometimes like I'm over reacting because everyone else likes him or laughs that stuff off. My father in law is doing great he said he has never had so much energy now that he has a stint in!! I keep saying only 47lbs left to lose I know I can if I just get my head back in the game!!!
  4. Don't quit posting your doing great!!!! Sorry I havnt posted it seems life sometimes throws curve balls and you have to dodge them along the way! My father in law has been Having heart problems an luckily Friday night my mother in law got him to the hospital just in time he was having a heart attack. I also have a new store manager at work this made me supper nervous he has said really inappropriate comments to me before I lost weight and the first time I seem him he said man Teara you are smoking hot while looking me up and down. Kind of made me a little uncomfortable. So working with him has been a testing zone and making sure no boundaries will be crossed. This has also made me focus on my husband. Didn't realize how loosing weight would change our marriage and reassuring him I'm perfectly happy not looking to someone else. The dr said a the beginning of my journey he said this would happen as it does with a lot of marriages but at that time I didn't think twice about it. On an amazing note my last dr appointment 20lb loss!! Happy dance happy Dance!!!!

  10. Your being a crazy lady! Just freaking out, we all do it though when the scale goes the opposite way of what we want it to! I would give it a week at least to see how your body is going to adjust to the more food more excise. you said that when you switch up your diet you gain a pound and then lose the following week,that might be what is happening. day 3 no weight loss! GRRRR! It will come but time to get back into working out! breakfast: Silk morning snack 22 baby bell cheese lunch harvest tomato soup afternoon snack Kashi mocha bar dinner:1/4c corn, 1/2c cottage cheese, 1/2c mashed cauliflower

Gumbo Soup campbells Dinner we are not sure where we are going but I will post tomorrow and Also what I ate!
  14. My days are going So much better than the initial going off of junk. It's still not easy by any means going into a store. I feel like I'm pregnant all over again I went into wal- grens and I could smell the chocolate!! What is that?!? ( I am 100% sure I am not!) but it is starting to get easier, thank you Daisy for letting me talk to you! I am still struggling day to day. it's a constant self fight but I will make it. We like the strawberry Kashi cereal bars the soft ones, I eat them in small pieces and they go down just fine. Adam likes the brownie Kashi bars not a fan. I like Kashi products because they are not many calories and a good snack. we also eat their cereal. Today wasn't horrible as soon as I get my eating and emotions under control again my family is joining the YMCA with a friend of mine I like having a work out buddy. breakfast:Silk chocolate milk lunch: sausage and chic gumbo dinner: started to lose control and ate pizza toppings off two squares of pizza. I stopped and got out a veggie burger. and went on my way Morning snack 2 baby bell cheese afternoon snack: Kashi bar P.S I hope that upping your Protein will fix your b1! I don't know if it will make you gain but maybe adding a little more to working out if you start gaining?
  15. How many calorie are you taking in? Do you think that not taking in enough calories is something that is throwing your numbers off? Or If you take in more meat or milk and less of something else that would help? I'm not really sure how the numbers all work. I have a grandpa that is a diabetic. i know he really watches his food in take, well my granny does for him! It really stinks they are not where they need to be. I hope that changing your diet around helps you numbers level to where they need to be. Today was a much better day. Not as many cravings and I went to the grocery store and didn't have to "fight" myself so hard where I put something in the cart just to take it out put it in to just rush out of the store. I can't wait for it to b controllable again. Breakfast kashi Cereal with almond milk lunch the healthy choice meal didn't really go down all that well not sure if I need to chew it longer or smaller bites dinner planing on either turkey meatloaf with mashed cauliflower or turkey chili Morning snack 2 baby bell cheese Afternoon snack kashi soft bar
  16. Ouch dental work that's never fun! And thank you my family and friends have pulled together we will make it through the circle of life together but along with death holidays etc is food and not good for you food!! Yesterday was just the worst ever! Not because it was a bad day but my body was just craving sweets and junk food! It was so hard to keep control I don't remember the first time being this bad, just horrible! I couldn't keep control of my bad attitude I was snippy with everyone I wasn't really hungry but just wanting it junk! It's so hard to explain. I just had to looked at my husband and said Adam I'm having a really hard time this time. He didn't know what to say besides you are stronger than that. Which was a great thing to say, i knew coming here and just talking about it with someone who understands would help. Maybe the first time was this hard And i just didn't remember. But I will tell you I never want to go through food withdraws again! I hope I always remember how bad my body and mind feels and the fight to get healthy again! I started logging into live strong again and I will log here. I feel better after seeing dr. I can definalty feel the restrictions. I have to remember to take small bites and slow drinks. Maybe that's what I needed to get back on track. I also thought about doing a cleanse to get the bad out so it wasn't so hard to get back on track. But I havnt made that decision yet! Hopefully the worst is over!! Breakfast silk chocolate milk 2 servings made a smoothie first it was aweful!!! Lol lunch harvest orange tomatoe soup dinner turkey burger with 1tbsp of katsup and pickle 1/2 lowfat cottag cheese Water today and hot tea and one g2
