Love my hubby...but would love to turn a head or two again....

Thanks Jen :)

So crazy weekend...ate like crap. Good day today tho...only 1235...didn't take a pic...figure I will just to a weekly total of my calories. Hope all is well with everyone...I have the feeling its going to be a great week!! :)
 
third day of eating 1200's....no exercise...but hey my food is ok...have some type of bug...so energy is ZERO...hopefully it returns soon and the bug goes bye bye!!
 
Glad to see you back, Tete. Thought I'd post here since you said hello on my thread ^^. Looks like we both gained back the same amount. We all have slip ups, and the holidays make it hard. Even so, you were such an inspiration to me and you still are. You'll get back to where you were, and more, I know it.

Good luck!

I'm really interested about that as well. I have no idea what a 1200 kcal day would look like.

You can just click on that icon/pic that I posted and it will give you some ideas as to what I normally eat. I have learned for me at least that I can not give up my normal foods...but I can make better choices most of the time and that lets me eat what I want more often.

Hi Loch...so glad you stopped by...I can't tell you how bad I hate this weight...all I think about is how bad I feel and then I realize how bad I really must have felt at my heaviest!! So I will slowly get these 15 pounds off again and feel good about moving on...I know you will too! New Year...New beginnings..right!! :)
 
A little light on calories today...but I ate like a pig all weekend...so its all ok....I am due for a low calorie day!! Still can't find my groove when it comes to excersie ...but my food is slowly getting back on track...hey one day at a time right :)

HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL!!

Yes, one day at a time. You'll get there. I'm still working out the exercise thing too. I've found I like doing it in the morning the best. That way it's done, and I can put the torturous experience behind me until the next day..haha! I hope you get it worked out, Tete! :)
 
You're so right, I can't imagine how I managed things being at my heaviest. I feel so heavy right now. Once these lbs are gone I'll feel super ;).

What do you use to track your calories/food?

I use to love working out in the morning...when I started at 7am I use to get up at 5 and work out....then we went to four 10 hour days...and I start at 6:15 so I would have to get up at 4am...and thats not gonna happen!! haha ...I just have to suck it up and find the time and do it!!

I use online and on my phone...I personally know its the only thing that works for me...even my bad days....it keeps me honest.....and I can use the info to see trends.
 
I love myfitnesspal too. I contribute a lot of my success to it. It's been the only way I've stuck to counting calories so far. Hope your last couple days have went well! :)
 
So still no working out for me. My exhaustion level is so sad..I barely have the energy to get up every day. So in December after 6 weeks of feeling like shit I went to the Dr. to see where the hell my mojo went...so they ran a ton of blood work and it came back with extremely high levels of testosterone. Normal women of my age ranges are around 2-45 in one test and 0.1- 6.4 in another ...mine were 127 and 14.7...so almost triple. They are sending me to an Endocrinologist on Feb 4th for further testing.

So needless to say after a disheartening talk with my family doctor...I went straight to Google which is a good and a bad thing....first there is limited information for women out there on this subject and what is out there leads to PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), Cancer and a number of Auto-Immune diseases.

To say I am stressed about it an understatement and to say I am getting any support at home is a joke. I mean my husband isn't mean or rude about it or anything...but he is the type to not worry about things until you know for sure. Well guess what that's not me. I like to research the worst and be prepared. I understand that 99% chance that it is just hormones and that it will be ok. But that 1% chance has me going a little nuts. I just want to know..waiting 12 weeks to get into a specialist has been HELL!! I can deal with anything as long as I know.

Thanks for listening...I haven't told anyone else and I just needed to get it off my chest.

So on the food front...it was an OK week...a few really good days...a few OK days...and ONE REALLY SUCKY Day!!

So sorry to hear about your health problem, Tete. I don't blame you for worrying and Googling. I would do the same thing. The unknown drives my anxiety through the roof. I hope they get it figured out though, and it's nothing serious. Great job on those good eating days! :)
 
Thanks Jen....Its very frustrating...but hopefully I get answers soon :)

So good 3 days so far...hopefully the whole week will be a good one!! Hope everyone is doing well! :)
 
Decent week las week...averaged 1285 every day. Go to the Doc. On Monday....hopefully get back on track with the exercise...sooner than later.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about the health scare. I know exactly how you feel, as I get very nervous over everything. I'm always on google the moment I either feel unwell, or the doctor says something. Waiting is awful.

I hope it isn't serious. You of all people don't deserve that sort of thing in your life, you're a good person and strong.

I would stay positive and keep your mind on your goals. They say that being positive can help. Who knows?

I hope you let us know as soon as you get any news.

At least you're staying on point with the food and not caving in to the stress :).

Many hugs!
 
Hi Loch!! you are such a sweetie!! Thanks for the kind words :)

Needless to say the 12 week wait was a was of time...the Dr was an ass. He wasn't mean...just dismissive. I didn't get a single answer...just 4 more weeks and some more tests. I am going to find another Dr. but will get the tests in the mean time. I just feel like a piece of shit and like I am going out of my mind! I hate it...and all it makes me want to do is eat eat eat!!

It was my 39th bday on the 3rd and I tell you what I ate enough to last a month...trying to get back on track after a killer weekend is hell. Didn't even weight myself today...couldn't bare to see.

O well enough whining......hope everyone is doing great and kicking butt!! keep it up...it makes me happy to creep on the profiles and see the successes!!
