Thanks Dawn! ;)

They finally made it here in our area.

Now, we gotta hope the track of IKE changes so we don't get flooding, high winds, and tornadoes!
 
Stacy's Breaking the Cycle

OK..I have got to get a grip and finally finish what I START!
I'm just gettin' fatter and even more unhealthy!
When we can't afford a lot of groceries/healthy options, I'm just gonna have to try and pick things out the best I can and 100% make exercise the KEY.
When we can have a better budget for groceries, of course that will be super helpful.
I will be drinking as much water as possible and for now I won't post a food log - instead I'll be posting an exercise log.

I'm 5'8 - Pant Size: 16 * Shirt/Blouse Size: 2X/XXL -XL(Depends on the material and type of cut.)

Starting Weight: 190.5

Measurements: :ack2:

Mid-Section- 36 in.

Waist- 36 in.

Hips/Tummy (ending under belly button) - 44 1/2 in.

Inner Thighs- 27 in.

1. Answer these questions before starting your diary.

-- How much weight do you want to lose? 40 lbs.

-- What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight? 9/12/09

-- How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)? Healthy Diet/Lots of Exercise

-- Who or what can support you in reaching your goal? Family & Forum Friends!

-- How realistic is your goal? Very Realistic.

-- When will you start? 9/12/08 - Today!

If you were at an ideal weight now, what would that weight be? 150 lbs.
At what weight would you like to be at four months from now? 160-165

Why do you want to lose weight? To balance my levels and make them healthier including BMI of course. To feel better and look better.

What obstacles could get between you and your weight loss goals? So far, stress and money has caused a lot of issues.

Why do you think that you now have a weight problem? I'm high strung, I have a lot of stress in my life, I have periods of time when I slip back into old habits of emotional eating. I turn to food for comfort.
I lack the desire to exercise. I make excuses for myself often.

Do you eat when you are not hungry? Yep

Do you hide your food or eat in secret? Yep

Do you eat when you are sad, nervous, or depressed? Yep

Do you eat as a reward? Yep

Do you eat while watching TV or using the computer?Yep

Do you have rewards for certain goals?
Rewards will be New Clothes and AVON.. :D

Here are my *Starting Pics*

Hey Stacy my dear, I'm trying to raise a million dollars for you and your family but it's very very difficult with the economy the way it is!!!!

I like your organization A LOT but I'm disappointed because I think last year you made it to 170 or close there....am I wrong? If I'm right, I know you can make it back down. Very little money is a major factor in weight management. One would think that lack of funds would make you skinny, but it's all the high calorie fast food that's 2 bucks, not the Alaskan salmon with mango salsa over organic greens......I'm stupidly lacking savings but I spend my money on expensive high quality food. Uh, I think I need to tone it down!!!

Take care and stay strong!!! I hope you have a goal reaching weekend!!!
 
Yep, I did Val.

Reached 170.0 a new low and then blew it. :svengo:

I allowed a slew of family drama and strss control me and then slipped back into emotional eating and a "I don't give a chit" attitude.
Of course this ment excuses bein' made and a pure lack of desire.

Then, when I get myself in that dark/ugly place, it's very hard for me to climb out.

I'm now out again and I hope to stay out!

It's such a damn shame that I'm not only starting over again, but starting over at an all new high.

I'm disappointed to! :smash:
 
Whew sorry I realized I sounded rude/mean, I was just really enjoying you lose weight last year and getting closer to your goal! But now I can enjoy you losing weight and getting closer to your goal THIS year :D

:hug2:
 
Hey girl! I'm sure glad you don't live in Houston or Galveston. Hopefully the hurricane will weaken considerably before/if it gets to Mesquite so that you'll just get some rain and a bit of wind.

It rained all day here today, but no storm or anything.

Best wishes on your exercise plan. Stick to it, woman. :D
 
Hey, Hey Kimberly!
*Missed Ya!* :hug2:

Me too gurl!

We have tried and tried to talk my Nannie into stayin' w/my parents this weekend and she won't come down. <grrrrr>
She is near Sulpher Springs and is in the track of storm..
They will get cat-1 weather events.

My family from Galveston Island and Corpus arrived in this area (hotels) late last night thank goodness!
I've had the news on all day and OMG, IKE isn't even there yet and the damage is mind-blowing already! (Galveston Island)

I just hope my family has 'Galveston Island' to go back to! :ack2:

You guys have had some nice weather lately.
Did they catch that dumb-ass rapist yet?

****

I'm about to hop in the shower and then watch the movie, Beautiful.

:waving:
 
hello,

this is dave, stacy's husband

stacy is really scared at the moment and would like you to pray for her

she is getting dressed and we will head to the hospital in a few minutes

she woke up with extremely blurred vision, seeing black dots, rainbow type lines that move quickly, and cannot make out any words on the tv or computer

when she looks around at our faces and things around the house, she cannot see everything
she said it is like parts of us are missing?

her stomach is very upset like she is going to vomit
that could be her nerves though?

she is dressed

we are leaving

i'll post back later if she cannot

thank you
 
Hi ya my Dear Friends. :hug2:

Thanks for your thoughts/prayers.

Only have a min. bc I'm plum wore out and the computer makes me dizzy.

Everything is still fuzzy and blurry.

We have only been home an hour/30 mins. :rolleyes:

I just ate some soup and had some milk.
(first thing I've had all day!)

The hospital only gave me juice/crackers. :toetap05:

I had an EKG - CT Scan - Blood Work- Eye Exam - and Chest X-Rays.

With my family history and symptoms, they had to check me for signs of a stroke and heart attack.

Plus, I got my RA due to Rhuematic Fever and had heart murmurs when I was 11/12.. They wanted to rule out any new probs re: that old stuff.

The doc was very upset she ended up bein' stumped!!
:rolleyes:

The only thing that showed up was that my sinus area is severly compacted.
I'm stumped on that one bc I've had no cold symptoms!?!

The only allergy type issues I've had for about 3 weeks is very itchy/watery eyes. (the type of attack that just makes you rub and rub and you want to scream!)

I flunked the eye test of course bc of the freaky vision probs.
I got 20/40

The doc said that maybe my old eye injury from when I was 18 has come back to haunt me since I'm getting older.

I'll explain that another time..(freak accident at a car wash where I got beat to death by the spray handle/nozzle. I was in the hospital and both my eyes were injured badly. I was blind for 3 days and my vision slowly came back and I had to use antibiotic eye drops 4-ever..I looked like some one had beat me to death..)

Ever since then my eyes have always been super sensitive to light/wind/fans/etc.

I have an appointment with an eye doc Monday.
She called and talked to him and told him everything and the results of all my tests.

Charge * Charge * Charge :rolleyes:

I dread seein' the new min. payment on credit card next month!

Well, I need ta go to bed.
I'm so tired and te puter is really bothring me.

I hope I wak up norml tomorow!

((Hugs))

 
Hi again..

I've only been up for about 35 mins.

Sadly, everything is still the same..

Everything is fuzzy and blurred. :(

This just really bothers/scares me!

The main reason is bc it was so sudden..?

When you need glasses, you just don't wake up one day and start havin' probs. ???

I'll check in later...I just can't stay on long bc it makes my head hurt.

I need to eat brunch and then exercise later as well.

:grouphug: Have A Great Sunday E1.
 
WOW girl... You need to get to the bottom of your health problems. Hopefully the doctors can figure out what is going on. You know, a lot of it may be caused by stress. I think I have had a headache for the past two weeks straight...

Well, I will be checking on you tomorrow. Hope you feel better!!!
 
Awww Stacy!
I just feel so awful for you. You poor thing. I hope that they get figured out whatever is wrong.
Get to feeling better......okay?
Smooches!
 
Sorry to hear they didn't figure it all out. Sounds strange to me. I hope the eye doc can solve the problem, sweetie. Hang in there. :hug2:
