Gracie's mom! The weight on the scale will go down eventually, hang in there!

shari · 01-24-2013, 05:51 AM

to your mom yesterday!! The scale and it's trickery

No worries, you know it'll go down. Our schedules center around the kids don't it? I'm glad the boy's father takes them to bball practices during the week..well he's the assistant coach for our oldest so he have to..LOL. Hope have a good day!

Gracie514 · 01-24-2013, 07:31 AM

Thanks for all the support ladies! Yesterday turned into an UUAD (up, up, and away day) so I am NOT weighing this morning. I will do my best to make today a great DD and see where I am tomorrow. I can tell I am craving sweets in place of cigarettes

Plus, only after one Callanetics workout my jeans are looser

Sheesh! Do I exercise or lose??? Sucks it has to be a trade off!!!

Not sure what I'm going to eat today. I woke up with major sinus pressure right in the middle of my nose. My nose is stuffed up too. I used some sinus spray and if it doesn't get any better I will take a sudafed. I need to push the dang water today too. I have had 2 bottles sitting on my desk since 8:30 am and I haven't even touched it yet. It's too cold!!!! I'm going to chug one bottle right now

Hope everyone is having a fantabulous day!!!!!

MagieDen · 01-24-2013, 11:01 AM

Oh Gracie I hope you get to feeling better! I love the term UUAD but it also freightens me because I know if I did JUDDD I would have way to many of those days.

Take care of yourself!

Thanks Magie

I feel better but there's drainage in my left eye - yuck!!! I hate sinus issues. UUADs can get out of control

I could've eaten everything not nailed down yesterday. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner after DD's gymnastics classes

Another reason I won't weigh - SODIUM!!! Their teriyaki wings are so flippin' good! Luckily, today is a new day and I will do better

I haven't had anything yet except for coffee this morning and I'm on my 4th bottle of water. The first 2 were plain, then I added a low-calorie mix to the 3rd bottle. The fourth bottle is sitting here staring at me (plain)

MUST.DRINK.WATER!!!!

MagieDen · 01-24-2013, 11:27 AM

So say a person has an UUAD and the next day is the DD and you weigh after that would the scale be up because of the UUAD? I know I ask alot of questions.

I guess it would work itself out if a person didn't have so many UUAD's and just got back to the right rotation of UD & DD. I am gathering as much info. on JUDDD because I say never say never to trying something new.

SODIUM is the devil besides carbs!

It will all work out for you.

Sometimes I am down after a good UUAD then a good DD - sometimes I'm up

I think as long as you don't have UUADs all the time it can be like refeed and your body can respond well by losing. Clear as mud, yes?

Maybe try JUDDD without weighing for 2 weeks using your UD calorie calculator and 500 calories on your DDs. That way there's no pressure from the scale and you can see if you JUDDD fits for you.

ceecee08 · 01-24-2013, 11:59 AM

Yea UUAD scares me. Heck carbs scare me. Anything over about 25 carbs I am Floating

to your mommy!! Hope she had a great day. Oh and I love BWW. I love the asian zing.

So much sugar in the sauce tho.

I had some "asian zing" Buffalitos last night too

- yummy! They are like soft tacos with chicken, letttuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream. I told you it was an UUAD!!!

ceecee08 · 01-24-2013, 01:11 PM

That's alright. You are back on track today. All that matters.

shari · 01-25-2013, 05:11 AM

I've only been to BWW once..and it's one right down the street from me.

I keep forgetting about it but now after seeing your post, I'm reminded again and will try it soon. With exercising, I agree about the scale going wonkers but the feeling after exercising is so worth it! Plus the inch loss, like your jeans are now loose, is incredible. My vote is always exercise over number on the scale. However I do feel ya on wanting to see smaller numbers...but the scale will catch up.

Deb294evr · 01-25-2013, 07:10 AM

Happy Friday Gracie!

shari · 01-28-2013, 06:40 AM

Good morning Gracie! Hope you had a great weekend.

Gracie514 · 01-28-2013, 08:52 AM

Hi everyone

My weekend consisted of basketball and sick kiddo. Erin is still not feeling well - fever, sore throat, runny nose, and cough. I called the doctor again today because we were in the office on Friday and they still say a viral infection. I just keep giving her tylenol/advil every 3 hours and liquids. I hope she starts to feel better soon! I woke up today with a major sore throat - hoping I'm not getting her illness

I've taken 2 Aleve and it still hurts!

I didn't weigh this morning but today is a DD. I don't feel like eating cause my throat hurts so at least that is good right

Everyone take care and stay healthy!

Happy2be · 01-28-2013, 08:53 AM

Oh I hear ya, this sick stuff is for the birds. Get healthy.

Deb294evr · 01-28-2013, 08:58 AM

Feel better!! I just got over that crud not long ago.. I hope these yuccky things stop happening in your household soon! Another reason to look forward to spring, and fresh air!..

Thanks ladies! I believe it's my 2 older kids bringing home the crud. They are exposed in school and then at basketball games and birthday parties. Plus it's freezing here today - kids had a delay because of ice. Now tomorrow it's supposed to be 60 degrees - WTH? I just want to lay down under a blanket and sleep

Deb294evr · 01-29-2013, 03:32 AM

Morning Gracie, I hope you are feeling better today! If not, then get back under those blankets!!

shari · 01-29-2013, 03:38 AM

Hope your babies and you feel better!! Both of my boys have been hit with bad colds...I've been cleaning/disinfecting like a mad woman!!

Praying it doesn't hit me and I wish the same for you!

MagieDen · 01-29-2013, 05:09 AM

I remember the days of getting sick off of my boys when they were little, so awful. I hope you start to feeling better real soon.

Gracie514 · 01-29-2013, 06:33 AM

Good morning friends. I'm exhausted!!! I was up most of the night with Erin - now she is coughing and sounding croupy

I may take her back to the doctor today. I also feel crappy. My throat hurts, my chest, and I feel anxious for some reason. I'm thinking because I haven't slept good since Friday because Erin is sleeping right on top of me breathing her infected air onto me

I just want her to get better!!!

Yesterday I kept it low carb and around 1000 calories. My scale was 197 this morning. I swear I can't win!!!! I'm taking some meds though like Advil/Throat drops etc. so that may be holding the weight. Just frustrated today... Got lots of work to do so I'll check back later.

MagieDen · 01-29-2013, 07:31 AM

BIG hugs for you and Erin!

Deb294evr · 01-29-2013, 09:40 AM

Oh gosh, I hope the whole family feels better real soon! Nothing like being up all night with a sick child.. Nobody gets rest!!

I am sure the meds you are taking are messing with your water balance and the weight on the scale.. try not to let it bother you. ALSO, lack of sleep is huge in what the scale says.. It lies, trust me..

Have a good rest of the day, and rest if you can!!

Gracie514 · 01-29-2013, 01:14 PM

I went to see my doctor and I have an ear infection and they sent out a strep culture. She said there is white stuff in the back of my throat

I started on Amoxycillin so hoping to feel better soon! I also bought some Greek Yogurt so I don't get a yeast infection

Deb294evr · 01-29-2013, 02:15 PM

oh goodness!!! I hope it works, and you get rid of this soon!..

Potaty · 01-29-2013, 05:59 PM

I hope you and Erin feel better soon!!!!

shari · 01-30-2013, 03:20 AM

hope you and family feel better!

MagieDen · 01-30-2013, 05:59 AM

Being sick is one good reason to get in some yummy Greek Yogurt.

I hope it helps with your possible yeast infection.

Gracie514 · 01-30-2013, 05:59 AM

Thanks for all the get well wishes

I was up most of the night because my ear hurts. I also thought I was going to throw up - TMI, I did a little bit in my mouth and thought for sure it was coming

I'm thinking I probably have strep on top of the ear infection because strep makes me nausous and pukey. UGH, when will this sickness season end? Today it's going to be 65 degrees and tomorrow it's going to SNOW and be 29 degrees!!! WTH is going on? Well, I'm thankful I have health insurance and was able to get some antibiotics. I also had some greek yogurt yesterday to try and save the good bacteria in my tummy. Erin is still coughing - today is day 6 of her being sick. Hopefully she will be all better by our super bowl party/ Gracie's birthday on Sunday

Today is a DD and I'm thinking of just sticking to Greek Yogurt today. Hoping the medicine doesn't mess with my stomach though......
