wow Bmo!! I am so sorry you are still not feeling well!!! What's up with the medicine?? Is it supposed to make you ill? I hope you get better quickly!
 
Wow Brandi that's no good about the throat - still sick! Plus the medicine making you throw up!!? I hope you have checked that it is still ok for you to be taking it. I have had antibiotics that made me feel bloated and gave me reflux - but yours sounds worse. I guess they have put you on something rather strong seeing your evil throat bug isn't making the rapid exit we'd hoped for.

*Big Hug*

Take care. :)
 
Thank you felici and mishi! I decided to stop taking the medicine. It ruined my body. I haven't told my doctor that yet though. I wanted to come in to see her, but she was booked solid. So... whatever. Since then i have stopped vomiting everything I eat! and i have the smallest appetite that I've ever had. But I think its a good thing. I reached my weight goal for this month! If I gain a pound or 2 back, i won't be horrified. I was sick after all. But I started eating a little again and its gone well. I think i have an ear infection in both ears... but i'm hoping it will go away soon. And my nasty cough is sticking with me. The throat is still sore as well. But at least i can MOVE again. and i'm not puking. I think the fever is gone as well... but I haven't taken it recently on account of me feeling so better.

My food today: 1 wild berry pop tart with 3 glasses of juice. (i was thirsty)

ALMOST finished a 6 inch sweet onion chicken teriaki sub with provolone cheese, lettuce, banana peppers and pickles. YUMMM. and 1/2 the cup of raspberry ice-tea

And less then a 1/2 cup of pasta with very minimal sauce, and not even a whole chicken breast the size of my hand-ish. And 2 bottles of water.

I didn't exercise at all besides the shopping I did. I still don't feel my best.

On a bad note... i think I lost my job. But i'm not sad or anything. Angry a little...but not sad. I know I am better without the job. It was too far away, not enough money, blah blah blah.

All in all... i feel pretty decent.
 
Wow!!

I didn't see your post yesterday or I would have replied then!

Do you think you lost your job because you have been sick for so long?

I am really sorry to hear you are still so ill. Despite feeling better you still have quite a list of nasty symptoms. That's a real concern. I understand you choosing to go off the pills while you were waiting to see the doctor, but I do hope you have booked or will book to see her again anyway. Just because that medicine disagreed with you doesn't mean that you shouldn't get some other help to get better.

I am glad you are not feeling as bad as you were though! :)

*Sends lots of health bringing, strength bringing thoughts*

Take care of yourself.
 
I hope you feel better quickly. I am glad you stopped taking the pills and can eat now!! Hope the rest of your weekend went better and you are feeling even better! Did you get to see the doc? I am sorry about your job but it's nice that you now have the opportunity to get something that is more suited to your finacial need. Have a good, healthier Monday!!!
 
WoW! I haven't been around here in a while. Good news everyone! I am better now. i can walk and talk and eat and everything else. I ended up going to the emergency room because i was so nervous about feeling so bad. I had mononucleosis. mono-- not fun. Kicked the crap out of my body. I got a new primary care doctor that actually had time to see me and stuff. :)

I have been watching what i eat lately as well. Which is a good feeling--to be able to eat more then one food. I am down to 196.8! I am just barely out of the 200's but my goal is to never see them again. By the end of July I want to be a solid 190.

Since I got sick--My appetite has shrunk a bunch. So I have been eating smaller portions--with much less snacking throughout the day.

Today for lunch i ate a ham sandwich. Unfortunately the house only had white bread. But I had the 2 slices of brad, thinly cut honey ham, a VERY THIN piece of American cheese, a bit of mustard, and 4 pickles. WOWWY it was delicious!!! I also finished a water bottle with it. I didn't even go and look for chips or anything like that! And i am famous for NEEDING chips to eat with a sandwich. So yay! I am proud of myself. :rotflmao:

I'm not sure what is for dinner tonight. But i am not super hungry--i'm sure I'll just have a little bit.

Tomorrow is a very busy day for me. Shopping, errands, fireworks...

and the 4th is also a cook out day for me. I'll probably have a few chips then--trying not to go overboard though.

Later tonight i might take a walk--like after dinner or something. I havent exercised much in about 3 weeks. (because I was SOOO sick. and the doctor told me I wasn't allowed to exercise a bunch because my spleen might burst. Mono=enlarged spleen)

Needless to say I am excited about being back into the swing of things.

About my job= i told the GM everytime I coudn't come in. he never relayed the message to my direct manager--so he thought I just quit. I have to get that straightened out.
 
Wow. Mononucleosis is a big deal! I am glad you got yourself some better medical help and sorry you weren't offered it to begin with! Also I'm glad you're over it. Take care won't you - I've heard it can take a long while for all the effects to properly go.

Nice to see you feeling well enough to post. Good to see you eating so well!!:) Lots of good balanced days where you don't get too hungry and don't get too stuffed will serve you well. I guess you dropped under the 200 while you were too sick to know about it - I suspect that's not a great thing one way and another! On the other hand - how great that you are there!!

Welcome to onederland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I REALLY need to start posting here more often!!

And I promise that either tomorrow, or monday I will get around to commenting on EVERYONE'S posts.

I haven't been eating great. But I have gotten a bit of exercise in. I walked along the beach for a an hour or so. It was fun. And i got some color.

I will start getting this right again. I swear. But I'm still under 200!!!
 
I had a huge arguement with an old friend today. And i went out to Burger King. i'm so stupid. But i was so angry afterwards... i couldn't even walk straight. NO LIE. So I ate horribly, but it calmed me down. So maybe for 1 days its ok.

I didn't get the exercise i wanted earlier. But Dan is going to set up my ab chair again, and I was thinking about using the weight bench tonight. I need to get in shape. I like strength training. I like the way it makes me feel. I've never had a flat stomach, or nice arms. So thats my goal. I went up to 198.8 again. But my TOM is in only 2 days. (i have a HORRIBLE cycle. It's not even 4 weeks. Only 23 Days.) now I know mostly women read this. So.. i need to know if thats ok, or if that cycle is so short i should tell my doctor. I really apologize for asking if it is inappropriate... i feel comfortable with it, i'm not sure if anyone else does though.

I am going on vacation in less then 2 weeeks. I can't lose A LOT by then, but I know that before the vacation I will work my butt off to lose somthing. ANd on vacation i will be swimming, and walking, and a bunch of other things... so i will have plenty of exercise.
 
23 days is 100% inside the normal range. My natural cycle was 35. That's normal too, though kinder. It is also normal for it to last from 2-7 days. I got the unkind number there. I took birth control pills for years though and that gives you control over the length of your cycle. Usually women have a 28 day cycle if they are on the pill. Also, that is the most reliable form of birth control available. I think it would be a great move to have a chat to your doctor about all this. Especially if you could see the one who had enough time to work out what was making you sick. :)

One day of mistake, or even better, one meal, need not ruin your good intentions, though it can make it harder to keep doing what you really want afterwards. It would be good to find other ways to deal with your anger though. Eating it can be dangerous. Especially as sometimes we can be involved in situations which keep us angry or make us angry repeatedly over a long period. I often type/write out my anger, or clean house like a tornado, or get busy in the garden, or go for a walk. I've heard other people talk about punching things (like pillows, not people).

Yay for the vacation!!! Where are you going? Who will be there?
 
I was just stopping in to say hi. Sounds like things haven't been going so good and I hope this week is easier on you!!:)
 
Hi Bmo! I am so glad you found out what was wrong with you and are feeling better!!! Mono sucks to have! About the cycle stuff I really have no idea. I have been having a period every 2 weeks. It sucks. I am trying different BC and it is changing but I don't know what the new order will be. Sounds like Felici knows about it;) I hope you are doing well and have a wonderful time on vacation!! Congrats on being below 200!! Keep up the good work!
 
Ummm... I'm bad. I didn't make enough rules for myself, and I slipped up. My car got broken into while I was at the mall. Nothing was stolen, but my door is still damaged. GRR. I came home and ate a whole bunch of chips. I tend to eat a lot when I get upset. It is my comfort. But I feel better now- i mean, i'm not angry anymore. So I have made a strict list for myself- just because I know it works.

No chips or candy.
Eat fruits and vegetables every day.
Go on a 15 minute walk every day.
VISIT THIS FORUM MORE OFTEN!!!
I found exercises on kraftfoods.com, and I want to do those every day.
(they have exercises for specific areas of the body)
Don't eat anything that I can't find the calories for.


Thats really all I have so far... But I'm working on it still. I would start right now, but I'm too tired to do any of this. So I start first thing tomorrow morning. i will keep track of every calorie I burn, and take in.

I don't like being over weight, and I know I can beat it, I just need to keep up the motivation.
 
sucks that your car was broken into but you're lucky nothing was stolen... people are suck scumbags....

you are morethan welcome to join my people hater's club :D
 
THANKS!!! lol. yeah. it does suck. It's not even like I have a nice car. Its a piece of crap. I wish they would have broken into a car that actually had something in it- instead of mine that I can't even afford to fix the damage that was done. i bet they did too. Because they didn't get anything lol.
 
I have all the math done out with my BMR and how many calories I can eat and still lose the amount of weight that I want to. That makes me happy. I'm trying to keep myself motivated, by promising myself sexy photos when i reach my goal weight. I never take pics of myself really. I hate how i look. And that feeling SUCKS!!!

And I am so joining Mal's People Haters club. I can't stand the general public right now. Breaking into cars, ruining movies with cell phones and talking out loud... I can't deal with it. lol.
 
So I made a complete weight loss goal tracker thingy until I lose it all. I gave myself until May 9, 2008. Most of it is only 1lb per week. Right now I want to lose 2 lbs per week.

I think it is reasonable, and i definitely attainable. After all, I really want to take pictures of myself to show off. i really like photography, and I would like Dan (my boyfriend) to take pictures of me in poses that i think of. Not DIRTY pictures, but really nice pictures.

I will do toning exercises EVERY day, and I will do between a 15 minute and a 30 minute walk every other day. (maybe everyday if I can find the time).

I will eat things that I can find the calorie count for.

The week of my vacation- I don't count on LOSING any weight, but rather remaining the same weight. I think I can do that. I will go swimming a lot, go on walks every day, and try to control my snacking. That is my main issue. :doh:

My plan for tomorrow:

Breakfast: 2 slices of watermelon, and 20 green grapes. (232 calories)
Waxing the car in the morning. (it will burn about 306 calories)
Walk for 15 minutes (117 calories burned)
Then I will try out my exercises for toning. (the areas: abs, arm jiggle, back, butt, thigh/leg/hip, waist/love handles) They are simple exercises.

Then I will take a shower (burn 128 calories)
Lunch: a salad. (i dont know the calories now.)
Then it is driving around with Dan finding him job applications.
Snack: chewy granola bar. (100 calories)

I'm not sure what is for dinner. But my bmr is like 1740... ish. So... that leaves me at -1959 calories, NOT including the salad or what ever I have for dinner. I think I can still have about 1000 calories between the two.

Knowing the numbers makes me happy. If I can follow tomorrow, I will be very happy. I will have a perfect day. Lots of exercise, fruit for breakfast, veggies for lunch, and meat with some form of carbs for dinner. How satisfying that would be. Wish me luck. (i'm off to bed in a few.)
