  5. Hello

    · Teresita · 12/05/2006 11:52

    I'm here and it is weigh in day today. You have some days that you know you lost and days that you know you gained. Of course I hope I lost and I feel like I should have lost more then a pound this week but only the scale can tell me that. I am going to buy me a scale when I get to 350, hopefully I will get it before that. I am so excited to be able to get on my own scale at home anytime I want to especially to get on and see 350. Yessssss

    I did bake a chicken, cooked the greens and yesterday made the meatloaf. The beans were so good that there are only a little bit left. I feel ok about the cooking because it was healthy. I didn't and don't have to go get fast food. The beans were soooo good I am ready to fix another pot of them. I think I will. Can someone say Beano! I will find out tomorrow what the scale says.

  7. Good Morning

    · Teresita · 12/02/2006 16:38

    I'm in a good mood. I'm kinda happy today, I'm not sure why but I feel pretty good. God is Good, sometimes you just have to give a day and you will feel all better the next day.
     
    I cooked some great northern beans with smoked turkey in my new crockpot last night and they are the bomb. Yummmmyy
     
    I am still on my grocery store shopping kick. I may not be able to eat a whole lot be I still keep going to the grocery store. I really need to stop that and it is getting on my nerves.:phanvan
    I bought some greens today so of course I am going to fix those when I get home, maybe in the crock pot. LOL I want to eat everything. I want to make a meatloaf with masedpotatoes, baked chicken and mashed potatoes, I want to go to this restaurant that has great chicken wings and cheesesteaks, I want that. I also want lobster, crabs and shrimp, what the..:girl_hug:
     
    I see a commercial I want it, I watch way too much food network. I really love to cook but I don't have enough people to cook for or enough money to keep feeding them. LOL I am tripping today.

  8. Hello

    · Teresita · 11/29/2006 12:34

    I lost a pound...whewwww I feel better now. I will not be eating like last week. I am going to try and take it slow and not let things stress me so I eat everything in sight.
     
    376 is my new number.
     
    375-370-365-360-355-350

  9. Uh Uh Uh

    · Teresita · 11/27/2006 12:02

    I feel like ick because I have been eating since thanksgiving. My DD came home and some stress came back also. I have been eating Stuffing, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and ham all weekend. It got on my nerves. I finally made a salad last night and ate just a little bit because I was already full from eating the other crap. That was just stress eating the salad. I am tired of eating.
     
    Today I am drinking nothing but water. I figure since I don't want to eat I will fast so I can go get some blood work done around 11.
     
    I have fallen off and can't seem to get back on the exercise wagon. I have got to do something. I don't even want to weigh in tomorrow. Help Me! Saturday and Sunday I tried calling a few people to talk about the food but I couldn't reach anyone. Oh boy. With allall the food except the Turkey is gone I can get back to focusing on better eating habits.
     
    Boy if I could say everything I want to say. :tired
     
    Pick me up 459-373 at my lowest but 377 last week.:paranoid Oh goodness I don't want to get on the scale tomorrow.

  10. Day After

    · Teresita · 11/24/2006 12:00

    I really enjoyed my Thanksgiving Day. :hungry: I plan on going walking today and this weekend.
     
    Piggyback off of Cha Cha dreams
     
    Tiny NSV's

    Running up and down the stairs and am not ready to drop dead
    Knees don't hurt as much when running up and down the stairs
    The band keeps me from filling a plate up with food, woofing it down and then go back for more.
    Private NSV for friend
    Able to sit with one leg under me without my leg falling off dead
    Able to comfortably do the sit sideway crossleg
    The confidence is amazing, I know it is also the coming of age....40
    None of my clothes are tight anymore. LOL
    Did I tell you I love my collar bones. I can actually feel them and they are almost able to show all by theirselves if I position them right. LOL I'm so excited.:clap2:

  11. Weigh Out

    · Teresita · 11/22/2006 12:09

    I like that title LOL
     
    I had a rough mental eating day yesterday....no excuses. I'm not sure why but weighing in may have had something to do with it.
     
    pepperjack cheese
    italian sausage(I boiled and broiled)
    crystal light
    oreos
    soup(home made, potato,cheese, broccoli, mushroom)
    When I got home ice cream(egg nog was on sale) cake that I had baked for a friend who did not pick it up
     
    OK this may be an excuse but my eating may be a little off due to my condition of emotional eating (say with french accent). Holidays do give me serious mood swings. Happy one minute to downright crying and why am I here. Both of my parents are gone and it hurts. I am the youngest and we have a small family. I like the holidays but I feel releaved when they are over. So pray for me that I will exercise today and everyday here on out.
     
    I love everyone of you...ohhhhh yeah my weigh out
    383-373-377 I gained 4 pounds but I am actually ok with it. That means I was actually supose to have lost 6 pounds last week to keep off. This just means that when I get out of the 370'2 I will be out for good. I still can't believe I weight 3 hundred anything. LOL Recently I said I weigh 473 and my daughter corrected me and I actually had to think. WOW 459-377 yeahhhhhhh:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

  12. Tonight is weigh in

    · Teresita · 11/21/2006 12:12

    I am nervous because tonight is weigh in and after losing 10 pounds last week I think it will be difficult to come up with another loss this week. I remember last Tuesday I didn't have time to eat but trail mix all day. Today I have cream soup, oatmeal and a sausage. Help me! I think I will jog in place perdiodically today.

  16. I GOT IT

    · Teresita · 11/15/2006 12:10

    I got my motivation. I lost 10 pounds last night. OMG I was jumping up and down and hugging the weighers in while in my underware. :faint:
     
    I now weigh 373 pounds. I went past my 375 but it is ok. I want to go with this feeling and lose 4 pounds this week to get into the 360's. I have wasted enough time.
     
    I have been drinkinig slim fast for breakfast, eating 2 salads a day, especially on the weekend. For quick food I have been keeping sugar free jello and pudding made up in the fridge. I will put whatever dinner meat we had on the salad. I haven't been focusing on food because I have been busy. I have been trying to stay away from McD because I could go there everyday. I am so happy.
    WOW

  19. Sugar Free

    · Teresita · 11/13/2006 14:09

    Sugar free has been my middle name lately. Pudding, jello and crystal light have been in the fridge and on my lips all weekend. I will continue to make this a wonderful habit.
     
    I am excited about getting to 375 and 350. I turn 40 next July and I am ready. I pray that I get there healthy. I can see my body changing and I am excited.

  20. Thursday Love you Guys

    · Teresita · 11/09/2006 11:43

    Thank you ladies for the kick in the caboos. I miss you guys Ali and Oatmeal girl. LOL I will get back to walking tomorrow I'm off from work and hopefully I will find someone to go with me but if not it is ok.
     
    It is getting on my nerves that it gets dark so early. I feel like I am suppose to be in the house getting ready for bed.

  21. Tuesday

    · Teresita · 10/31/2006 11:55

    I was thinking about not going to weigh in tonight but I was just trying to punk out because I have had some stupid eating habits lately. Ice cream is on sale and it is killing me. It is good that I have really good restriciton in the morning and the afternoon. Once I get home I can eat a tad bit more. :heh: :kiss OK too much. Yesterday I had a flash back. I had soup around 11:30 and went to a doctors appt at 4. I did not eat anything in between but was hungry. I went to Wendys and got a jr deluxe cheeseburger and nuggets. I ate the whole thing :hungry: :omg: It took about 35 minutes but I ate that burger except for the last 2 bites. I was driving down my steet which is kind of long and as I was biting down on the burger I realized this is where I would purge while driving so many years ago. I felt like I was doing the same thing but only I would have had 2 sandwiches, fries, a big soda and a dessert. Thank God for my band. I will go weigh in tonight.
     
    No I still have not gotten back to exercise yet. I am thinking about it more and more. I will get there. I have started dancing to a song here and there at work and at home. For me that is a start. LOL I will walk this Sunday.
  22. I want to start drinking or smoking. OK I don't really want to start smoking because it stinks but if it didn't .....and the cancer thingy but OK I want to start drinking. People who drink just have so much find in their mind. Right now my brain cells are not having a good time. If I get them drunk they will think they are having a good time therefore I will have a good time.
     
    Dag it, I want an escape. I am tired of stressing and having to worry about things and dealing with them. I want someone else to deal with the stupid stuff. I don't want to have to go buy a drill because I don't know how many watts, volts, mega hertz or whatever to get. Unfortunatley I keep this silly dam smile on my face:) .
     
    Oh :notagree I could go to sleep like some people do. They can just in the bed and sleep for hours at any given time, get up, go back to sleep. That one is safer and you won't eat while you are sleep.

  23. Thursday

    · Teresita · 09/28/2006 11:29

    Thank God
     
    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
    Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever,
     
    Amen

     
    I feel blessed, I have been given another day to do get it right. I feel so bad for the people in Colorado. I can't imagine what they are going through. I thought the girl that was injured was going to be ok physically but she died. I know that crime is everywhere but I can't stand the murders that are happening with the youth in the DC area. I don't understand what people are thinking about when they decide to take someone's life. The mother that saw her sons body, how aweful.

  25. Hello

    · Teresita · 10/26/2006 13:09

    Had a pain in the right side of my chest yesterday from about 3:30-7:00. Then it just felt like pull twinge. It did scare me and was concerned I would have to go to the ER. I layed in bed for an hour or so. I can't find my blood pressure monitor I recently bought. Once the pain went away I started feeling like myself and going up and down the stairs, cleaning up and getting ready for today.
     
    Last night I didn't think I would be able to go to work today but I felt fine when I got up and here I am. I do have an appointment for an echo today. I will call and make another appt with my primary doctor so I can get some blood work done. Ok Done appt for Monday.
     
    I have lovely restriction this morning. I took my meds around 7 and spit for about 15 minutes. Now I have hot oatmeal and that is not going down. I will stop eating now. I have grape juice after the sliming stops and my band opens a little. Also, have trail mix.
     
    Yesterday, I was a slow eating pig. 4 nuggets, 1/2 double cheeseburger 1 bun, insides of a meat burrito. Dinner was greens, bite of baked chicken, scalloped potatoes (which go down very well).
