Imaninjadangit's Weight loss Spectacular!

Jen....your avatar makes me giggle every time. I need to stop by your diary and return the favor, by the way. :)
I love my daughter, "more than the moon," as I say to her. Whenever I lie down during the day to get rest for work, she always covers me up, kisses my cheek, and tells me that she loves me and goodnight. She melts my heart and makes me die laughing most of the time. She just has bad days, like the rest of us.

My TOM has been rough this time. I wonder if it has to do with my exercise/weight loss/diet. I have never been worn out from a TOM. This one was especially heavy, though. I didn't even do Dance Central today. I think I'm nearing the end, thankfully. I've craved a lot of food during this one, but haven't given in. I figure that if I can resist the urge to binge during the worst time of the month, I can do it any time!

I had that problem with my last period and was wondering the same thing- whether it's weight loss related. I keep meaning to talk to my doctor about that.

Awww..that's sweet. And good job not giving in and binging! That's awesome. :)
 
Thank you! It's weird...I just don't want to binge. It's just engrained in my head that if I binge, I kill all of my hard work.

I feel like crap. There is no other way to put it. I just feel all shaky. I've eaten, had plenty of water...so that's not it. I honestly think that after the other day, my iron is super low. I took a vitamin that should boost my iron. It also may be that I've only slept 4 hours in the last 24. Ugh. I need sleep. This is one of those times that I wish I had family close by to watch her for a few hours a day, so I could sleep.

I weighed myself this morning. I went back down to 263. I'm still in TOM, so I figure that's where the extra pound came from.

Bleh. Just feel drained. Can't wait for this week to be over.
 
*hugs* hope you feel better soon hun. Get plenty of rest, and don't let your little girl get to you... she's a quick little thing though!
 
Thank you ladies. :) I think it's lack of sleep. I've had 5 hours of straight sleep since Thursday morning. Getting sleepy. My bf is off tomorrow, though, so I can sleep all day. I was going to go to the doctor, but I don't know. I really need the sleep.

I've been having issues with not eating enough calories. I'm suppose to be eating 1430 + exercise calories....I'm barely making 1200. I'm just not that hungry. Plus, everything I eat is pretty low calorie. I drank milk last night with dinner, to get my calories in a good way. I'm going to the store when I get off work. I'm going to pick up some healthy snacks to fill the gaps.

I got some sleep today! :hurray::hurray: My b has to work tomorrow, though, so back to no sleep. Bleh! I was able to book my hotel for Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I am going to sleep SO well Tuesday night! I'm going out with some friends, and then sleeping late on Wednesday. My sister is taking my daughter all night on Tuesday, so I will get to be a free agent that night! Yay!!

My TOM is finally ending. The water weight is going away.I went up to 265 during the peak of the week. :ack2: I was down to 261 this morning, which is a pound less than last week! I'm assuming that in a few days, I might be even lighter. We'll see!

I bought a take and bake pizza tonight, along with some salad. The salad is super tasty, and the pizza smells awesome. I'll hit my calories after this meal....probably. lol
 
The pizza was excellent, thanks! I had it again to right. Lol I ended up only consuming 1150 calories on Friday, with exercise. Last night, I had 1500....so it evened itself out.
I weighed myself tonight. 260! 2lbs and I will have lost 30lbs since the end of April! I would love to lose it by Wednesday. It would be great to lose 30lbs by the time I hit 30. I think I can do it. :)

I would only be disappointed if I gained a large amount of weight. I know that I'll eventually lose the weight, so it doesn't matter about the time frame. I know I'm healthier than I have been in..well....forever!

Fyi...prunes have a nasty texture. I'm eating them to...um...move things a little better. They taste like giant raisins, which already grosses me out. (My sister use to tell me when I was little that we didn't have the money for real raisins, so my mom dried roaches and put them in the raisin boxes for me. .
.) I'm a big texture person, so the squishy texture is a little hard for me. I'm really trying to overcome that, though....so, I shall keep eating them!

I think I finally figured out my calorie problem. Since I work 3rd shift, I was having issues finding a stopping and starting point for my calories. Now, I just use midnight as my point. It seems to be working for me. I think I was just putting too much thought into it. Lol

I'm glad you figured out a timeframe for food :) I know it was worrying you. If you don't like the texture of prunes, have you tried soluble fibre supplements? I use Benefibre, I just pop it in my morning tea and evening drink (not fizzy drinks though), and bam! I'm movin' like the fourth of July! There are others that are flavoured, but personally I find them too gritty. This one is completely soluble - doesn't have a smell, taste, texture or make everything thick like others tend to.
 
I like your way of thinking- I want to make it contagious and cause an epidemic :)

Here, have a random link I found on Google:

How much dairy are you having? Last week or so I was having problems in that department because I think I was overdoing the dairy. I've scaled back a little and it's cleared itself up.

And fantastic you've worked out the time frame. I don't envy your situation, having to change your times around, but you do really well in spite of it.
 
I felt so bad when I had that terribly pessimistic day on Tuesday. It was just a terrible day. I try to keep an optimistic view on things, generally. The way I see things now, is that bad things are going to happen...I can't stop them. The way I spend my time between bad times, though, I can control. I choose to be happy, and take the bad times as experiences to make my good times that much better.

I don't do dairy very much. I've never really had the stomach for it. I drink a glass of milk a day, though, to get the nutrients.
I could get my fiber a million ways. I have fiber cereal, apples, celery...tons. I'm just eating prunes to get past my texture aversion.

WOW congrats on the weight loss! While TOM is a bitch and a half, it's also kind of interesting to see it all fall off you afterwards. If we all manage to avoid masses of pizza and chocolate and brownies and such though...

You're doing so well! :) I also really don't envy the timing issue that you have - what a way to make everything harder, eh? Poor thing. Hope your day today is going well!
