Starting Weight: 191.2 (Weighed In Last Weekend/Took Measurements)

Current Weight/Weigh In: 188.6 Lost 2.6 lbs :hurray:

I'm on a journey to reach the 160's and lose 26 - 30 lbs and then reevaluate.

I'm miserable...:confused: Tight, Size 16 in jeans .. 2X in Tops ... I'm 5'8

I will be 43 on May 28th. Since reaching my 40's, boy is this hard! Even when healthy and completely on track with healthy eating/exercise; 5 days a week, My weight has been coming off like molasses!

I will not give up!

I have said many times: "I'm so DONE! I don't care anymore and I'll just get as fat as my body wants to!!!!" :banghead:

The misery always snaps me back to reality! :D Gotta keep at it!

Day 6 of 30 Days
*Complete* (Firm 30)

Staying Alert/Safe! *Preparing* Pretty scary we are under a PDS Watch/Warning..
We have not had that here in 5 years. (Particularly Dangerous Situation)
Large Hail ** Strait-Line Winds ** Heavy Rain ** Long Tracking Tornadoes ..... 8-9PM is the timeline for Dallas/Counties...
We are getting phones charged, LED Lanterns out/ready and all the other prep.
Most of all, PRAYING for everyone to be safe and sound!

Texas has really been pounded lately by severe weather..:eek:

Just finished work out so I gotta get cleaned up, dinner done/cleaned up before all this starts!
 
Oh, Stacy, I can't possibly imagine how scary it must be to get such extreme weather situations! Stay as safe as you can, xoxo
 
It was a night of stayin' glued to our local news and the weather channel...lol... :svengo:

We were so blessed to get an unexpected outflow boundary of cool air which completely zapped the system that was less than 20 minutes away from us/other counties and weakened the storm. *Shheewwww!* We just ended up with booming thunder (poor ZuZu, she stayed in her crate) and pretty scary lightning.. Heavy rain and some wind gusts blew through quickly.. So thankful! ;)

Speaking of my precious angel, she has been through the ringer lately. :(

Had to take her to the vet Monday bc I found a patch on her hip where her skin looked infected. She is having an allergic reaction to a spider bite..
( :mad: that spider better be glad I don't know where it's at!)
She got a predisone shot and ointment for me to put on her 3x a day..Last treatment will be Thursday evening.
Plus, she had to have blood work done bc Friday evening she had a horrible seizure! My word, that was the most scary, pitiful and heartbreaking thing to witness!! I just hugged/petted/kissed and talked softly to her as she was going through it. Lasted a little over 5 minutes.
Dr. Jan called and said most forms of cancer have been ruled out now, but her platelets are a little off and she wants to do another blood work up in 30 days to "completely" rule out blood cancer.
She said she feels about 85% sure it may be "aging epilepsy" since ZuZu is now 10.
As long as blood cancer is ruled out, it would just be waiting to see how often she may/may not have more of them to turn to meds to help ease/prevent them.
 
Poor Zuzu! I'm so glad to see you're still with us though; I haven't had the oomph to keep up with everyone lately but it's good to see you kicking butt and taking names :grouphug:
 
:hug2:Thanks LaMaria!

Omigosh! I feel like I slept like this last night.. Uggggh! :confused:

My right side from neck to shoulder blade is so stiff and painful... Yuck!

Hoping to work it out gently with stretches/pilate moves and a hot bath that will follow later this evening.

I'm kinda walking around/turning like Frankenstein at the moment. :rolleyes:

lol
 
My work out and the extra pilates/stretching has helped Cate.. Hope it's not temporary relief..lol

Day 8 of 30 Days
*Complete* (Firm 30)

Food/Snacks on Target.
 
:rolleyes:o_O

Thursday was the last exercise day I had and then I binged on Friday/Saturday. :boxing:

All the way back up to 191.8

I have got to be STRONG and say NO to being tempted by son/hubby by Fast Food.

I have got to learn to tell them, "if you would like this or that, feel free. :) I am going to stick to my meal plan."

Also, I have to stick to my fitness routine no matter what.

Hubby has been home sick due to pneumonia and I felt guilty to exercise bc I would have taken TV away from him.

I have got to stop this and PUT MYSELF FIRST!!

I truly feel (bc of all my family drama and rejection issues) I'm addicted to hubby/sons approval.

This is something I have to completely admit and work on spiritually since I'm a Christian.

I need so much healing in my heart and spirit bc of being so rejected and hurt by my parents/siblings.

I cannot walk around any longer in my life trying to always please everyone and seek approval.

I deserve to BE ME and I deserve to be RESPECTED.

My Diet and Fitness is important to me so I can become Healthy #1 ... Feel Better and Look Better to Boost Self-Esteem.

Gotta have a talk with hubby and son to let them truly know how important this is to me. If they don't want to join me, they need to respect me and let me be and quit tempting me and aiding in sabotage.
When I need the TV for my work out dvd's, then dog gone it go find something to do for 30-45 minutes..

Hear hear, Stacy! Make sure you do tell them, xoxo
 
As far as you being dependent on your hubby's/son's approval, I'd say that's common. We want to be loved by the ones we love. BUT, as you also pointed out, sometimes you have to put yourself first too. Even if he's sick, it wouldn't have killed your husband to lose the TV for an hour. :p

Having said that, I know how hard it can be to tell other people no. My family are big influences for me as well. Sometimes good, sometimes pretty ehhhhh.....
 
:seeya:Thanks Cate! Big Talk in 1 hour... lol ;)

:waving: Thanks Cory!

I was able to start fresh yesterday. Food was on target and it was grocery store day.
Stocked up on healthy/good choices for me! :hurray:

Today: So far so good. Food on target.

Day 9 of 30 Days
*Complete* (Burn 30)

View attachment 23698 Amen to that!
 
Day 10 of 30 Days
*Complete* (Firm 30)

Food has been on target - doing well.

Question...

Does anyone own a "My Pillow?"

I see the commercials 500x a day and wonder if they are worth the money.

I am now on a week of havin' that icky crick neck/back (shoulder blade) pain... *sigh* :rolleyes:

It's not as bad as the first 2 days, but still bothering me.

We have a new mattress we LOVE, so I'm thinking new pillow(s) are in order?!
 
Cate: Awkward but got my point across. lol :oops::D
At first they took it like I was "scolding."
Had to just make my points clear. Also had to make them fully understand the definition of "sabotage."
I know they don't sit around plotting my defeat..lol...They just needed to really hear what it means so they can be aware of how they talk and what they bring up. (and when) Ended with letting them know how important this is to me and I could really use support.
Thanks for asking doll! ;)

Butterfly: Well, duh! Thanks for reminding me of that.. I always forget that I can do that. :rotflmao:
Silly me.
Need to check into it quickly!
 
I'm glad you got your point across Stacy. It doesn't matter how long you have been with someone, they still can't necessarily read your mind. It's best to communicate. Well done honey xo
