Sunday 4/13

Ick, TOM. I feel bloated, like my clothes don't fit. Hopefully the bloat will go down.

Weight 141.0

janamonkey · 04-14-2008, 08:36 AM

Monday morning, I am so tired today. I stayed up too late.

Weight 140.0 - dehydrated. I will be up tomorrow I am sure.

My grandfather passed away this weekend. The service is on Friday. Then my other set of grandparents are having a 50th wedding anniversary/renewing vows ceremony Saturday, and a family lunch Sunday.

Too much is going on this week.

I am so sorry about your grandfather. Does sound like you have too much going on this week. I hope you can get some rest.

Fifi · 04-14-2008, 10:12 AM

I'm sorry about your grandfather. Busy, emotional week ahead. Hang in there!

PalmTreeGal · 04-14-2008, 04:43 PM

So sorry about your grandfather. That is so hard.

On a more positive note, your current weight is great.

Kelly Lynn · 04-15-2008, 09:55 AM

Thanks Jana! I'm not moping around so bad today, going to find out how bad my shoulder is damaged in a few minutes.

Did you get some rest? I know it is a busy busy week for you but take care of yourself too.

janamonkey · 04-15-2008, 11:06 AM

Thanks for hte well wishes everyone

Kelly- I did get a full eight hours of sleep last night, finally!

Today is a very stressful day and I'm glad I got the sleep I did. I had a dentist appt and found out I have one cavity and have to get all my wisdom teeth out. They also took my blood pressure and it was really high 143/93 and told me to lose weight and eat better. GRRRRRR. I told them I was just scared of the dentist and really stressed. But, they made me an appt with my general care dr anyway. Frustrating. Usually my blood pressure is 110/75. OH- and the assistant thought I was under 18- she asked if my parent/guardian was there to sign something. HELLO- I'm 25!

I also was WAY up in weight today 144.2! TOM is so so stupid. I am really bloated, I couldn't even wear my wedding rings.

janamonkey · 04-16-2008, 08:18 AM

Weight today 142.2. Feeling less bloated. Today should be a lot less hectic.

I can't find anything to wear this weekend. All my nice clothes are way too big and I am not really able to afford new dress clothes.

I am going to try to find something at Salvation Army or a consignment shop today. Crossing my fingers I find something.

janamonkey · 04-17-2008, 08:33 AM

I didn't weigh myself this weekend. I told myself I would focus on eating at maintenence this week but I am having a really hard time not feeling guilty about how much I'm eating. I don't have any time to do any real exercise, I am barely getting my dog her 1/2 hour walk everyday.

janamonkey · 04-17-2008, 08:29 PM

Hmmm "weekend"

I'm obviously stressed.

janamonkey · 04-18-2008, 08:16 PM

I survived the funeral/family party. I did ok for eating at the potluck afterwards. Stuck to pretty much meat and cheese, some fruit and the veggie tray. I did have ONE cookie, and ONE glass of wine. Overall, I think it was successful in that regard.

I forgot to weight this morning, so I just did. 144.2. I usually weigh first thing in the morning. Oh well, I'm not stressing. It's not worth any added stress now. My clothes fit, I'm happy.

More family stuff tomorrow. <sigh>

janamonkey · 04-19-2008, 11:44 AM

well, I spoke too soon about being "good" yesterday. I ate way over maintenance calories yesterday. Oh well. Live and learn.

Weight today 143.8. Trying to be good today. I'm trying.

Fifi · 04-21-2008, 07:36 AM

Hi Jana ~ Don't be hard on yourself. Whatever the scale says can be corrected - you know how to do it. Your stats speak for themselves.

Today is my first day with the PSMF. I'm excited to see what's what on Friday.

Hope you are doing well.

janamonkey · 04-21-2008, 10:37 AM

Well, I am BACK on track today.

Weight 144.2

Colo Alex · 04-21-2008, 01:37 PM

Jana!

janamonkey · 04-22-2008, 05:02 PM

Yay, the water weight is melting away

Weight 142.2

I feel a lot better now that I am on track for today and yesterday.

Bradley-B · 04-22-2008, 05:37 PM

I was just reading how even one meal off program can add up to 4 lbs because of water. DOn't worry your achivements this far are amazing and that you found time to post and think about what you were eating this weekend is just amazing to me. Sorry for your loss and I hope your life returns to normal as soon as possible.

Keep up the amazing progress I looked through much of your journal and was very inspired

Kelly Lynn · 04-23-2008, 05:01 AM

Hi Jana, just stopping by to say hi! Glad you are back on track, I think you are doing great especially after last week and this past weekend.

Fifi · 04-23-2008, 10:44 AM

Hi Jana ~ Just checking in to see today's loss! Post soon!

janamonkey · 04-23-2008, 04:54 PM

Thanks

It was great for the day it was here!

weight today- 142.8

janamonkey · 04-29-2008, 10:09 AM

Today's weight 142.0

I think I am seriously overdoing salt. I am going to try and cut some of the sodium out today and see if it helps the tummy bloat.

janamonkey · 04-30-2008, 09:30 AM

Today's weight 139.8

Down again! Weird! What's going on with me?
