I'm still at mom's, but I decided that I can't use that as an excuse to eat like shit. So today is day 1 of calorie counting. Not gonna lie... I already hate it. haha! But it's what I need to do, so I'm going to suck it up and deal with it. :)


I was looking through some old pictures I had on my phone last night. Wow! Just ...Wow! I can't believe how much I've changed...and not for the better. It kind of hit me like a smack in the face. Time to get busy! Time to get serious! Time to say goodbye to my manatee-esque body. Don't get me wrong, I looooove manatees, but I don't wanna look like one. haha! :p Also points for Chef, for still attacking me every chance he gets, despite my current body......


...Maybe he likes manatees too? :eek:

Please, please, please never leave the forum Jen :D I am not going to get side-tracked by the image of chef & Manatees......I am not! You are so funny!
Time to get busy indeed Jen :)

I want NOTHING to do with a MANatee. I only like WOmanatees!!!

Yup, I went there. I fucking went there.

In all seriousness, honey? You're not a manatee. You're not anything close to that. You're sexy. Fucking sexy. Don't look at the scale...look at your #!$%! and your @$$ and your $*#W(*$ :)...you know, like I DO!!!
 
Thanks, guys!! :)


So I had my doctor appointment today. It was supposed to be just a quick physical for our health insurance, but I asked about a few things that I've been putting off for a while now. One is a general pain in my left side that comes pretty frequently with my TOM, and other times as well. So I get to have an ultrasound to see if I have cysts ...or fibroids ...or maybe an alien baby growing in there? I don't know! Whatever it is, it needs to knock it off with the pain. haha! The other one was my back. She poked and prodded, felt some spots on my back and hips that have hurt for a VERY long time. Apparently my lower back, the sacroiliac joints and bursa sacs are not my friends?! It's ok... I don't like them either! haha! I have to have a spinal xray, and had to set up an appt for physical therapy! :( Then she gave me a prescription for pain meds and a shot in the ass! :eek: She didn't say a thing about my weight though, which is what I was afraid of. Guess I lucked out there! Unfortunately I had to see the number though, and let's just say... it wasn't good. I'm not even gonna type it. I don't wanna ruin my laptop with the eventual river I would be crying. :oops: My blood pressure was good though, and I had my sugar and cholesterol checked. Hopefully those are good as well.
 
Oh sweetie. You possibly do have fibroids. I had them & ended up looking & feeling 8 months pregnant. I had a hysterectomy at 42 & never regretted it. All the best Jen. Glad your BP was good, xoxo
 
Yay for good BP and for doing something about those aches and pains. Physical therapy is definitely the positive outcome - if it had been worse she might have referred you to a surgeon instead. Bursitis in the hip and SI pain are often related so you probably won't get a double load of exercises :p

My mom has had cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis in the past. So I wouldn't be surprised if there's something festering in there. lol!

Eek! Yes, I'd much rather do physical therapy. Surgery scares me! It's one of the stupid reasons I put off asking for so long. My "ignore it and it will go away" method didn't work. haha!
 
:p That´s the method my mom taught me, too: "If it started spontaneously, it´ll go away spontaneously." I´ve amended it to read: "If it doesn´t clearly start to improve within 2 weeks, seek medical attention." And I realize I´m privileged to live in a country where I can afford that. The butt shot might actually help a lot, but when a problem has been present for a longer period of time the improvement sometimes doesn´t last for more than a couple of days as all it does is relieve the pain and inflammation temporarily. If that time isn´t enough to get back to a healthy pattern of movement (or if whatever caused the inflammation actually damaged something) the pain will come back.
 
Thanks, ladies! :)

Today was day 2 of strictly watching my calories again. So far so good! I hate weighing and measuring and all that jazz, but it makes me feel more in control of what I'm eating. When I don't count calories all hell seems to break loose, and I gain a shit ton of weight. Sooooooooo... yeah.. I guess I just have to deal with it. haha! :p


Anyway, today was a good day! :)
 
I hate it too Jen, but if I'm not careful weight just piles on.
Glad you had another good day xoC
 
Yup, counting sucks... but clearly it's a necessity for me(and others). Every single time I've been successful at losing weight I counted calories. It's just so tedious. Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuuugh. I hate it. ....*SIGH*. Ok. I'm done whining. For now. :p


My calories were good yesterday, around 1300. We had pork, broccoli, and sweet potato mash for dinner. I don't know what we're having tonight yet. We really need to go food shopping sometime soon. Chef is at work, and the kids are gone to their Great Grandparents house getting spoiled. So I should probably get some work done while I have some peace and quiet.


Also.... I just noticed today that my diary(and many others) has been "recommended" on facebook a couple times. Not sure I like that. I went and searched for it on facebook, and it was shared by a couple of weight loss pages. Neither of them had a lot of followers, but that makes me a little uncomfortable. I'm debating on having this one deleted and starting over with a new diary that has less personal stuff.
 
I´d like to have a poll on here to see if anyone wants their diary recommended on FB. Pretty sure they don´t. Then maybe the option can be removed.
