Icychic's Weightloss Diary

Oh, forgot to say...I was at 143 this morning which is nice. And all day I have been looking forward to 5pm and working out...it's is 3:20pm and I am getting a headache. Hoping a cucumber sandwich and water will help as perhaps I am simply hungry. Otherwise looks like it may be a sad day and I will go home after work and probably sleep :( Debating a pain killer but I hate taking them if I don't need to. Frankly I wanna pack up and head home right now.
 
Hi Icy- OUCH.Take the painkiller sweets. It will target the pain before it gets worse & past the point of no return. I used to wait until headaches were unbearable & then painkillers wouldn't work, until my chemist told me to take them earlier & then they work better. Sometimes just one will work then. Sleep, lots of water, *sigh*...nice. Glad i was worth it. I hate hangovers & have sworn off them ha ha, xoxo Cate
 
Surprisingly did not have a hangover. Thinking the McDs may have helped that. And I drank a couple glasses of water through the night. I don't think I had that much to drink really. 1 drink and...I dunno maybe 6-10 shots over the course of 4-5 hours? I'm not a fan of hangovers either, and generally don't drink much partially because of that, and partially because I like to drive home and not cab or rely on someone else. When A and I are both out, after the 1st drink, if we haven't already, we discuss who is driving.

I hate taking pain killers, or pills in general. Have issues with them. Sometimes headache goes away on its own, but I guess if I have any chance of working out before going home, or doing anything when I get home I should probably take one and drink water. The water is probably the big thing causing it, and maybe the weather. Gotten colder and because of how our house is and keeping the room door closed at night (keeps dog inside, and forces her to bark and wake us when she needs out in the morning), the room gets hot, but it's cooler downstairs, and it's cold outside. And it seems work is either too hot or too cold no matter what I do with the thermostat or the heater under my desk.

I just wanna go home and sleep right now. 1 more hour...

Kinda upset because I was so looking forward to the workout challenge starting today and I was going to start it of great by doing one of the workouts today :(
 
6-10 shots would give me a massive hangover :( You'll make up for the lack of exercise from tomorrow, so don't worry. Hope you bounce back tomorrow! xo Cate
 
Haha I'm with Cate- I'll have 3 drinks and I'd feel it the next day! I probably only drink 3-4 times a year though lol. Unfortunately half the time I'll get through one drink and it'll turn my stomach so whenever there is an event I debate whether I'll actually drink or not. Damn stomach problems!

I try not to take painkillers too, I never get headaches but usually get insanely bad period pain... pretty much the only time I actually take them, and then I only do if I feel like I can't stand up. If I remember to take extra magnesium around then I'm usually fine though!

Hope you're feeling better and energetic tomorrow!
 
I have gotten bad hangovers before even when not drinking much. I try to stay away from too much pop because I think that is the worst of it. Water helps lots as does food. I think lack of sleep makes it worse too. I think for new years I'll be sticking with shots and vodka slimes. Same with the wedding.

I feel better today so far. About to hop in the shower and leave for work soon. First sign of a headache today and I'm takin a pill! Determined to workout today.

Think I will take a can of tuna to work and make a tuna sandwich for lunch. Stir fry for me tonight, not sure about A.
 
143.5 this morning. Sad cuz I didn't eat much of anything last night....nope wait that's a lie. Ended up eating a whole can of Campbell's Tomato soup and 3 slices of bread. I am seriously eating way too much bread lately!

I am feeling better today. Still watching how my head is feeling, have this odd feeling the headache is gonna come back today but we will see. Once I finish my tea it will be lots of water the rest of the day. Thinking I need to spend the money on a second Brita jug for work since there is no cooler here and I don't care for tap water or bringing a bunch of water bottles with me. Or better yet: . Bottle is $10, replacement filters (every 2 months) appear to be $8 for 2. Or even for the bottle.

But of course the day I am trying to get random things done for my personal life, work decides to get super busy. Back to it!
 
Well seems that was not a great idea. Made 2 tuna fish sandwiches with the 1 can of tuna...taken 2 bites and it is not sitting well. So they will go in the fridge and I will maybe eat it tomorrow. For now, water and will attempt to eat an apple I guess since that is all I have at the office other than Honey Nut Cheerios. I have very little energy right now wish is really sucking. Been super busy at work and I think it has drained me. Hopefully the apple will cheer me up and give me the energy I need for a workout later!

Expecting 1 person to stop in later (actually was expecting them a couple hours ago). May shut the office down early (30-60mins) and do the workout before checking my emails one last time and leaving for the day.

I am determined to do a workout today. Even if I stop every 10 seconds or take an hour to do what should take me 10, I am DETERMINED to do SOMETHING today before going home. Too many distractions at home and not enough privacy.
 
Hey, at least you got the workout done! You have to start somewhere. As for cracking knees that you posted on your challenge page, as long as there's no pain that can be pretty normal. Just make sure your form is good and you shouldn't have a problem. My knees crack a lot when I squat which can be disconcerting with 40kgs on my shoulders but I know that my knees just do that.

Hope you're feeling better!!
 
Thanks! I agree, I did the workout, maybe not well and didn't push as hard as I could/should have but I did it and that's a great start!

I am feeling a little better today, thanks for asking. I'm thinking perhaps I didn't eat/drink enough yesterday. Headache...I can sorta kinda still feel it lurking trying to get out but didn't take anything yesterday. Will keep a watch on it again today. I do think it's the changing weather and lack of sleep causing it.

Knees...yeah I'm hoping it's nothing bad. When it started I tried to make sure I went a little slower to keep my form good (which is hard because right now with my balance and the crappy shape I'm in I'm pretty sure I do not have good form), but sometimes a little change would help, not for long but yeah. More stretching/warmup today perhaps.
 
I am going to try keeping track of my food intake today, see exactly how bad/good my eating can be:

Breakfast ~10AM: Peanut Butter Sandwich with 2 slices or 100% Whole Wheat Bread.
Lunch ~12:30-3: (eating while working LOL): 16oz (500mL) water, veggie stir fry with rice.
Dinner (can't remember time): Shrimp and Rice.

Total water intake about about 32oz (around 1L)

Seems my thoughts were right. A more solid timeline for the wedding would kick me into gear for losing the weight.

Still have 40mins left for work, but we are to call his parents (East coast) and my dad (West coast) this evening. I figure with the time difference of his parents (3 hours ahead I believe) I should not stay late at work or it will be too late to call them. So I am locking the door, doing my workout now, and leaving right at 5, or just after when I'm finished. Before I'd have either left early or blown of my workout and left on time and used the calls as an excuse not to workout. Calling them to discuss dates to ensure they can all make it, my mom is in town and said she has no plans to go anywhere so we're good there. So far only 1 date we can't do, and it's because it's one of my bridesmaid's brother's wedding so if I can help it I will avoid that date to ensure she can come.

Anyways...off to workout! :D Not feeling a whole lot more energetic than yesterday but will see how it goes.
 
Well hell, the world is against me :(

Soon as I posted, the phones rang and emails that had to be dealt with so...now it's home time and I have not done my workout...crap! If it's not too cold I will take the dog for a walk later. If it is, I will try to get on the Kinect. If the basement is occupied I will kick A out of the bedroom and do some crunches/planks or other things that will not cause TV to fall off dresser.

NOT IMPRESSED!!! Also no idea what I'm doing for dinner...I still have rice but no stir fry left LOL. Maybe I'll make more.
 
Sounds like you’re busy busy busy and having a hard time getting your workouts in. That’s a bummer. I hope you’re able to go walking tonight or get that Kinect time in. Even if you’re not getting the calorie burn you’re hoping for with a workout, you’re getting some calorie burn by walking. Every little bit will help as it all adds up in the end. I hope you have a great night. :)
 
I hope you ended up having time to something yesterday! Something is better than nothing! :) Good luck with your workout today!! :)
 
Hey Icy.....I know it sucks when the world turn against you....mine do all the time! Well I hope you got the work out in!!!
 
I did nothing. NOT A FREAKING THING! And today has sucked. Earlier I was saying it's not even Noon and I still had tons to do, been a crappy busy day at work. Busy is good, but this has been crazy and crappy because of some of the issues and I'm feeling like walking out but I can't because I need the money and that would just be silly, but I do not get paid enough for some of the things I'm doing right now.

I HAVE to workout today and tomorrow otherwise I will fail on the first week of our IcyStarCloud challenge and I will not allow that to happen. But now I'm saying it's just after 2 and I wish it was Friday at 5pm so I could go home and SLEEP! But I can't do that.

Also wedding...well A's dad probably can't get time off June-Aug so it looks like May which leaves less time to plan, but also that's when I best friend is getting married, May 31st, so now we'd both be getting married in the same month and so much planning cuz we are in each others wedding party and yeah, it's like the world is turning against me and working against me and pushing my limits waiting for me to break and quit. But I REFUSE!

I think once FedEx comes for this package, if my other stuff is done (boy do I hope I'm caught up SOON), I will lock the doors, perhaps relax for a few minutes, and then do my workout and leave, even if it's not closing time. And while typing, more crap happened, FedEx came and left, got another thing on my plate to do tomorrow too along with the 10 more things today and it's now 3pm. Hitting send, back to work, hoping to be done early :(

Week from hell! :banghead:
 
Sorry in my ranting I didn't say thanks.

Thank you all for the posts and kind words and all. They really are appreciated, even though it probably does not seem like it right now, they really do mean a lot and help keep me going and stay motivated.
 
Your day does seem horrible, and I'm sorry for that! But keep your head up! Things WILL get better, even if it seems like they won't right now. Take a deep breath, and remind yourself that you're a fighter! And you will male it through all of this!! Sending light and love your way.
