Taking Charge & Stickin With It

[Silver Spice]

Just cheking in for a minute. I've been in and out of different homes to stay the night, trying to find a place where I can settle. I decided it was only making matters worse for me to be at the house while husband is doing his ranting and so I'm putting distance between us until he manages to get his plan in action. There definately isn't anything left but pain, so I'm not going to stay and let it get dealt out to me everyday.

I have a big test tomorrow, so I'm going to go study. Will check in when I can, but rarely have availability to PC right now.

Hugs to all..........

gm all,I hope your weekend was good. Mine is always crazy between DD 16 cheer leading and my DH b****ing about the girls not doing what they need to do . Man when I get upset it takes me forever to clam down and in that time I want to eat the house up.
well I did not eat the house up at that time buttttttttt I made some cookies for the kids last night and ate some. I am not going to dwell on it because if I do I will fall all the way off LC. That is how I stayed so good on LC this pass summer. If I wanted some thing I ate it and just went on with LC the next time I ate.
Hope everyone has a good day.. to all

gm all, OK girls where are yall at ... helloooooooooooooooo lol
Well I dont know why I got on the scale but I am up 2 pounds. I know why ,so I will just go on. I did not weigh my self over the summer , that much ,and I think that why I did better. I get to this point and either gain or dont loose and want to give up ( most of the time) but I know if I just stay eating LC that the inches will come off. I can see my face getting smaller. So I know that it is working. Also I am starting to feel more energy .
So how is every one doing ? hugs to all

[TXLoser]

If you knew there is going to be a gain because of eating stay off the scale!! As you said in the long run you can see and feel the differences with sticking to plan so just keep at it....next time just wait a few more days on the scale....

Menu looks good Melinda..got some sodium foods there so enjoy a nice glass of water with them

I have really been good with my foods, got them planned for the week.
Sure does feel so much better to eat properly and knowing that I am really trying!!!

Hey there...... just a quick hello then I must get some sleep.
I haven't weighed in forever but clothes are getting rediculously big. So are my feet and ankles! I have someting going on there for sure. Hope it will be better soon. It hurts.

Have a great week everyone. I'll check back when I can.

[oct2667us]

woooooo I just got back from Grocery shopping and I am tired I spent 300 but you cant tell. Man I miss the old days when I could get almost 3 carts full for 300 . I spent over 100 just on meat and it dont look like it will last all mounth I got the cheep stuff marked down. I still have to go back later with DH to get his lunch stuff and some stuff I forgot. It is not easy eating LC with a family of 4.. I dont even eat like they do , I let them eat carbs I could not afford every on being on LC. hat is a shame...

Hi everyone,

My son's friend's mom quit her job and opened her own business as a weight loss coach. She has lost a lot of weight and has kept it off. I am going to call her today and join her program if I can afford it. I just can't seem to do this on my own.

[oct2667us]

Melinda - you are doing FABULOUS!!!!!!

[Jazlyn]

Hi all, well I was on the run yesterday and was at Wal mart waiting on my DD 16 meds. so I took my BP it was 185/117 it is my own fault I got off my BP meads I did not like them they make me tired but I guess I need to go back on them I just hope they dont mess up my weight loss. But as my DH says if I dont take them I could not be around to lose weight... I am on TOM and feeling tired so I went back to bed when I got the kids on the bus. I always feel bad when I go back to bed. it is so cold here today brrrrrrrr this morning it was -27 this girl from the south is COLD!!! lol.

Melinda -
I hear that cinnamon is good for the bp as well. I usually take 2 cinnamon capsules in the morning or try sprnkling cinnamon in your coffee or something.

I will say I am back on bp pills as well...
I cried in the dr office, but I WILL come off them again.

If they make you tired tell your dr, maybe there is a lower dosage or a different kind to help you..and LISTEN TO YOUR DH (this time anyway )

[oct2667us]

I will try the cinnamon.. and go back on my bp pills

[Jazlyn]

I put cinnamon on top of the coffee grounds before I brew my coffee. It's tasty.

I am huge. Huge I tell you. I finally bought some new jeans. Size 18W. They have a tummy control, which I was excited about, but it does nothing for the huge ring of fat hanging out over the waist. In the fall of 2007 I had gotten into a size 14W.

All I can do is start over.

[oct2667us]

Jazz .. you can do it .

[Jazlyn]

Thanks Melinda

I decided the whole family needs exercize so we went to the college last night too see if the track was possibly clear. Nope, covered with snow. They talk about keeping your family fit but really, unless you can afford the athletic club around here, there is nothing to do in the winter.

We went to a big parking lot at the college and I walked around it while everyone else walked/ran. It was about 1/4 of a mile around. I went around 3 times. I would have gone one more time but my husband and daughter were ready to leave. It took me about 6 minutes to go around once. Not great but I haven't walked in forever.

[TXLoser]

Jazlyn - who cares how long it took ya..the fact is YOU DID IT!!!!!!
Next time if you are up to the extra lap, just ask the family to wait the 6 minutes for ya... you do a LOT for them, so it is okay asking them to wait for you to finish. Remember...make yourself a priority to.

GOOD JOB

Melinda - what ya eating today?

[oct2667us]

Gm all, I am at 275 . So how was every ones weekend? LC wise I have been eating clean. but I am on TOM and my new BP meds has me feeling so tired I checked my bp last night again and it wet from 185/117 to 150/112 down some. I will check again today. I am hopping one day I can get off this stuff.

I want to get a exercise bike but 100 for one is to hight right now for me and if I did not want on I would see used ones every were .. lol keep up the good work jazz


Hugs to all have a great LC day

[Jazlyn]

Good morning,

I finally got up the courage to weigh. I have been fooling myself into thinking if I didn't weigh I wouldn't gain. I have gained back all but a half of a pound.

Last night I took my pills early. They make me fall asleep really fast but then when I get up to let the dog out I'm starving. I ate so much last night I am just sick about it. A whole box of granola bars, some pumpkin bread, and donut holes. I'm kind of loopy because of the pills and don't even realize how much I'm eating. I got so sick I threw up a little.

I just can't have junk food in the house. I need to have another talk with my husband. I have been doing this middle of the night thing for a while. It's so depressing.

[oct2667us]

Jazz frist of all I know how hard it is to have foods that you cant have in the house. No one in my house is happy with me right now because I wont let any junk come in the at this time. really no one needs Junk.. You are just going to have to put your foot down and tell your DH ) Look I need some help if the food is in the house I will eat it . Oh I know easer said than done. My family told me last night that they dont like when I am on LC I dont cook as good lol

I am not feeling to well today. I guess it is the bp meds. I have to go to the Doc at 3:40 and we will see what he says. I think I may be depressed. I dont have any energy and I dont want to do any thing. It is all I can do just to get on and type. I cry alot at nothing I feel so sad. I cant sleep at night and when I do sleep I wake up like a hour before time to get up and lay there not go back to sleep. Then that makes me lay in bed till like 12:00 .I was never like this before I was a happy person. I dont know how to tell my Doc or want to say.. We will see.

[Jazlyn]

I'm sorry Melinda. You do sound depressed. Just tell your doctor what you told us.

[oct2667us]

Gm all, well my doc is more worried about my heart than me being depressed. That is OK . Do you think that being depressed can be changed with out meds? You know just not give in to it. I am going to try that . I was not like this the pass summer. Maybe it is just winter blues. I am going to fight the way I feel.
I got put on 2 more meds yesterday and have to go get all kinds of test on my heart this is what years of not eating right will do to a body. So is that cake or candy ,chips ... really worth it? I am 41 and have still two kids under 18 so I have to be around for a long time. I told my girls this is what happens when you eat the way I have for years.

have a great day alll

Jazz.. Did you talk to your DH ?

Diane.. How are you doing?

[TXLoser]

Melinda I hope your family will now support your woe so you can come off some of those meds.... Did you tell him how the bp meds made you feel? I plan on making an appointment next week to get my blood checked again and my bp. Last blood work the dr said my calcium was up, but he thought it was an error...so gotta get re-checked.

I have been feeling like CRAP...I have no appetite, the thought of food makes me mausous and I have been tired. I stayed home yesterday and slept most of the day... All I ate yesterday was 2 egg creams and a bunch of crackers I didn't know what else to eat and for some reason crackers meant comfort...not that I felt any better. I have plenty of lc foods available, I just couldn't stomach eating them...and this isn't the flu or anything like that, just general blahness

I am at work today, less tired but still no appetite. It is taking all I have to down some chicken this morning for breakfast....

I guess the good news is at least I am functioning today.....

[JUNEBUG2]

Morning Everyone

Dianne, I hope you feel better today.

Melinda, they just said on news yesterday that walking was a big plus in helping with depression. They mentioned several other things like gardening but I think walking was the top of the list. Making yourself exercise and getting outside helps, its just hard to get started. Hope everything is ok with your heart.

[JUNEBUG2]

Melinda when I started taking the b/p meds and lipitor in July, I felt sad everyday. Everytime I took the lipitor at nite I had horrific dreams. Luckily it evened out and this is no longer the case. Hang in there!!! Now that I think of it, I did start walking in the pool. Maybe walking is a key. Just thinking.

[TXLoser]

June...nice to see you......

[Jazlyn]

Good morning!

Melinda, I haven't had time to sit my husband down and talk with him. We have had kid stuff to do every night this wee. Hopefully this weekend.

Yesterday we went to my inlaws. My MIL made dinner for my b-day. It was good but I ate bread and desert. I suck. I don't even like myself right now.

Melinda, another thing my doctor has me do for depression is sit in the sun for at least 15 minutes a day.
