Iwan's Weightloss Journal

Heya"s Iwan,
I am very tired but wanted to pay everyone a visit and
keep the support rolling as you do for me,it plays a major part
in weightloss.I am so glad to have met you and thanks for all your
diary visits they are very appreciated!:)
So what if I copied and pasted this in everyones diary I am a zombie
tonight and turning into the sack early! Tammy
 
Well, anchorage never happened today *pretend sad face* It has been snowing like crazy! its beautiful...and cold. So, seeing as anchorage never happened neither did the holiday party. But, I get to see my son's holiday recital now which I'm very happy about. And I can eat like a freakin pig today...lol. I already had lunch out and have had 2 lattes today plus minor snacking here and there. For some reason I have a craving for some roasted garlic mashed potatos and I think I'm going to have to act on that. Homemade of course.
So, today was:
breakfast:
Latte (137)
Lunch:
Bowl of tortilla soup w. sour cream garnish (350)
Salad w. real honest to god ranch dressing (120)
Snack:
another latte (137)
pria bar (110)
baby carrots and hummus (100)
Dinner is yet to be announced. Probably the mashed potatos if I feel so motivated after the recital, otherwise PIZZA!! I may even indulge in a coke.

So, a sister in law update. She's still in the hospital, still have the baby in her but on the 22nd they are doing a c-section. She's been bleeding a lot and has been in the hospital for so long now. They are confident the baby is well developed enough, he'll only be six weeks early at that point and they estimate he'll be about 4 lbs. My mom is leaving again, she just got home, but she has to fly standby and since planes obviously didn't fly today its going to take her a while to get there. I offered her my medical pass which gets me in any available seat before regular stand by's but...she wasn't taking it and she doens't look anything like me so she can't pretend...lol.
 
Hi _ _ _ _ _ or is it _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ now ??

I get confused easily, anyway just stopping in for a lil attagirl for doing what you do in such harsh country. Your area has 'comfort food' written all over it. It must take great determination to overcome the elements and food.

Just my observation.

If you look really close it's actually all inclusive. And so far comfort food hasn't been on my mind so much. I've gotton to a point where I literally have to force myself to eat things that I know are bad for me, otherwise I'd come in around 900 cals everyday, not good. I could go for some of my moms corned beef stew and aloddix(fry bread) right about now.

Yum, I didn't make them last night but now I'm really wanting them. I make mine with fat free plain yogurt and fresh roasted garlic, and alot of it...lol. I also grow my own herbs so I usually throw in some chives, parley and basil.

hibye!

I knew today was going to be a differnt sort of day from the moment I cracked my eyes open. Lots of fluffy white stuff and I had to wait till 11am to get out of my driveway because the city burmed me in and then I had to get my neighbors to stand on my bumper so I could get enough traction to get over the powder that had accumulated in my drive. But the snow is so pretty I can't stay mad at it for long (yet, April will be a different perspective on this).
I'm waiting for an available seat so I can fly out, I'm on one hell of a standby list, so is my mom. They'll call if we get seats.

Yesterday I ate about 2000 cals and it was soo good it was worth it. I heart pizza. My son's recital was so cute, kids are so freakin cute!! Anyways, I'm off to play in the snow, my new "friend" T has a snowmobile and he promised me and my son a tube ride (yeah!!!, if you've never experienced tubing from the back of a snow mobile you are missing out!).

Sounds like lots of fun.I really hate snow except on XMAS EVE AND DAY.
I feel it traps ya in your house the streets get bad around here.Lol we are having 50-60 degree sunny weather right now almost feels like the beginning
of spring.But thats a bad sighn I heard for a bad winter.Now if I am still saying 60's in January to then something is wrong lol!
Enjoy your day with the fluffy stuff,Tammy:D
 
Have I mentioned I hate to be cold?

Staring out my kitchen window right now, it's crisp, clear, and almost too cool for my liking - 65 degrees!
 
*sad face* no likey cold...cold is a person too...errr...I mean...yeah..never mind.

Well, it rained last night, pretty much turning our prisine white perfect snow into a slushy muddy mess. Now I'm depressed as all hell. My bloodwork is back at the clinic now and my doc wants me up there stat for a talk. Still no flight yet and now I"m nervous because a plane went down yesterday killing two people and it was operated by the same company I'll be flying with. Yikes! I know the probability of another plane operated by the same company crashing within a day of eachother is so highly unlikley that there are not statistics to back up my fear...but still!!! Actually, when I think of it logically I should be more afraid of crashing my car and dying on the way to the clinic.
My scale is a lying SOB. I got on there this morning and it told me I lost two lbs over night. Freakin liar! maybe I breathed out two lbs of water weight. Maybe I sloughed off two lbs of dry skin into my sheets (ew, I'm so washing my my bedding now), but, I did not lose two lbs yesterday and last night. And now I feel the need to restrict myself from weighing.
 
The scales are a bunch of lying bastards Iwan - but I'll take your lying one over mine ANY day!

Good luck driving over to the clinic!
 
After reading another members diary post about something I've decided to take a break from this forum for a while. It just seems so stupid for it to upset me, and therefor I must be too dependent on this place for friendship and support. I need to get a life obviously.
