Starting Over

I have laryngitis (spelling?) and feel like shit so I will be absent from the WLF today. It's going to take all my energy and focus to get this work that is piled on my desk finished. Hope all are doing well and kicking ass as usual.

Quick update: H got home friday and the "mommy and daddy time" was awesome. :D DIdn't get to the gym on account of being sick. I did get an hour and a half of heavy raking done yesterday and burned tons of calories doing it. I then had to go crash on the couch because I did too much while sick. Bleh!I will weigh in sometime this week.
 
Hey Amy!! ***THROWING SOME EXTRA GOOD HEALTH YOUR WAY**** hope your feeling better in a flash!! We will miss you around here if your not able to come by and post.

Good to see the H is back and everything is in order. Take it easy today, and get plenty of rest.:waving:
HUGS

Update for yesterday:

Calories: 1550
Weight: 166.5 (-3lbs!!!!) Woot!!

I got to the gym last night to work our regardless of feeling crummy. I have lost 3lbs in the past two weeks!! This motivated me to work my ass off with my workout. I only burned 550 calories (usually 700). My congestion was too much during cardio so I only got 35 minutes in with 45 minutes of weight training. Today is an off day since Sean has to fly all night. I may do pilates and yoga after the baby is alseep though.

Most of my coworkers are on vacation this week so I plan to catch up on some work that I have put on the back burner for awhile. Then I plan to do NOTHING. Enjoy the down time.
 
Amy your such a go getter, I love that in a person!! I'm proud of you getting out there and working it even when your not feeling up to par, just don't over do it and wear yourself out, we don't want you off sick somewhere for a week.

CONGRATS on the poundage lost!!! I'm so very happy for you!! SEE I told you it would happen, just be patient and it will pay off, 3lbs is a big accomplishment!!

HOPE YOU HAVE ANOTHER ASS KICKING WEEK!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!

GO AMY, GO AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks so much Mal and MLB. Am I a big dork if I cried while on the scale at the gym? It has been such a long year with so many disappointments with this. I would lose a few then gain them back over and over until lately. I took two weeks off from strict eating and then jumped back on the wagon and it worked. I think it may be a mix of the thyroid medication finally kicking in and the refeed period. I was shocked to see the weight change last night. AND the Red Dragon came this morning so I know I had to be bloated a bit. I closed my eyes when I got on the scale and when I opened them to see the weight change I just started to cry. Couldn't help it. I think it was from relief and being so damn hormonal right now. Either way I am so happy to see that damn number go down substantially. FINALLY!

OHHHHHHHHHH, Amy I wanted to cry with you after reading that. I feel the same way when I hit plateau's and trust me, I HIT a lot during this journey, more than most from what I can tell. When my scale finally goes down I do shed a littile tear, because I know I worked soo, soooo hard to get it down, it's like a relief when it happens. I think we all need "down weeks" or breaks so to speak to get the body re-adjusted, it just gets used to the same old same old that it gets stubborn. I seriously had an emotional reaction to this post above, I truly know how you felt. I'm so HAPPY!! I hope you get to cry many more times in the up coming weeks. :party:

Thanks so much! You and I have so much in common it's scary. These 3lbs have definitely increased my motivation, it was starting to lag. My goal is a total of 10lbs by Christmas and I only have 6.5 to go. I plan on making it!

Thanks so much for your support. It really mean sooo much to me.
 
I went to a girlfriend's 30th birthday party last saturday night. I was doped up on Dayquil so I felt pretty good. I don't know if it was the cold medicine but I got drunk soooo much quicker than I usually do. I only had two beer, a margarita, and a shot of Petron and I was GONE. I drank tons of water so I didn't have a hangover the next day. Here's a pic of me with the birthday girl (in the middle). I'm in the green jacket. I do have eyes but you can't see them when I'm Drunky McDrunk (H's nickname for me in this state). Ha!
 
I always liked "Tipsy McStagger" from the Simpsons :)

Good for you! I know all about being emo and hormonal. I really hope that thyroid medication is right for you, and CONGRATULATIONS on the 3 pounds!!! :party: Thanks for the support in my diary :hug2: Hope your laryngitis goes away real quick, get rest!
 
LMAO@Tipsy McStagger and Drunky McDrunk! :smilielol5:

I am so happy for you losing those 3lbs--I know how frustrating it is when the scale doesn't move when you seem to be doing everything right. I think re-feeds are really good--they seem to work well for me--I just have to get my mind wrapped around the idea that I have to be a little naughty in order to see good results.

As long and hard as you've struggled, I don't blame you one bit for crying on the scale. :)

:party::party:
 
Yeah, I've always loved Tipsy McSwagger myself. You're looking great and you're almost 1/3 of the way to your goal!! Booze is weird. I never know how alcohol will hit me until its too late :)

I am actually 5'4". Chrissy and Lisa are pretty tall ladies and I was pretty slouched but I was wearing heels so I guess they are MUCH taller than me.

TG should be fun. We are heading up to my parents' tomorrow morning for the day then coming back home to have dinner with all our military friends who don't get to go home for the holiday. We are having them all at our house so I have alot of cleaning and cooking to do tonight. Plus, my dad and I usually cook most of the food every year so I have double the amount to do. My mother isn't the best cook so we have given her the easy stuff like green bean casserole and such. Gonna be a long night!
 
Have a great time Amy, sounds like a lot of fun though also a tremendous amount of work (as per your usual). Happy Thanksgiving to you mama!
