This ongoing Rolloercoaster needs to stop!! No more free rides!!

Hello, everyone! Thanks of thinking of me while I was away from the forum. I am back to work today. The surgery went pretty good on that day. I had some problems healing a little because of the way my arm was positioned in surgery, I had a sore tendon that extended from my palm all the way up my arm, but that is much better now, I can lift my arm above my head now thank goodness. Due to my line of work the doctor felt that I should completely heal and not be around inmates or inside of the prison, so that is why my stay was extended. I wasn't excited about getting back to work, but I did enjoy my time home with my kids for the last 3 weeks.

I haven't been eating the same. It is like when I am home and not on a set schedule, I don't eat the same. When I wake up, I usually don't eat, and don't think about it. My first week out, I dropped like 9 pounds. After about a week and a half, I gained half of it back, but I also think most of that is water weight because I have been consuming quite a bit of sodium, and not much water. I couldn't really exercise without irritating my incisions and my baby was doing enough of that by wanting to be picked up, and tackling me whenever he wanted to play. The doctor forgot part of the stitching in my arm and I am contemplating on whether I should just pull it out myself. I don't want to have to pay another co-pay to get him to do it. It hurt even when he did it so I don't know.

Thanks for your concern and i am glad to be back. I have a lot of catching up to do!
 
Okay, so I don't even want to talk about what I did last night, but whatever here it goes. Yesterday, food was okay. 2 apples thoughtout the day, one cup of coffee that I never drank while I was at work. total of 4 boiled eggs, to slices of wheat toast, few plain tostitos chips, some V8. Dinner time, I fried some cod fish because that is what my son wanted and I had nothing else but beef ribs in the freezer, and made white potatos. I'm not sure if you can consider them fried being as though I didn't use any cooking oil or anything. I slice them and use water, and as it cooks down, continue to add just a little water, them brown some from cooking down to get the appearance and taste of being fried, onions were added. I melted sliced cheese over these, had a second helping of these and then ate 2.5 ice cream sandwiches, not to be fair, I shared with my kids and my niece the ice cream.

Today, I am so tired, could barely get up. While I was off, I had such a good time sleeping in, especially since my baby would wake up, I'd put him in the bed with me, and he would go right back to sleep. Today is my second day back to work, and I don't feel too productive. I have to get me some more vitamins, especially vitamin E, I've been out for about 2 weeks.

I realized that not being here made me not feel like I had to be accountable, and even though I haven't gained weight, I feel I should be in the low 180's by now, if I just kept at it. I didn't exercise besides a few walks. I mean I might couldn's swing my arms, but I could have walked more. Ne way, I'm back and here we go again.

Today:
Apple 7 am
Grilled cheese on whole grain and sliced tomatos 9 am

Lunch will be:
boiled cabbage, and rice
apple
water
I know I'm lacking protein, but I'm working with what I have right now.

Dinner:
Steamed shrimp and clams
mixed veggies
water
Maybe some tea

I'm going to take the kids walking tonight at least.

Yes, i guess I can't. I thought being off for a few weeks, coming back I'd be refreshed, but if I loved my job, I probably would have, lol! I've already had my water stolen since I came back, had my name all over it. It had to be on the next shift, I haven't worked in that department on that shift in a long time, so I can't say it is personal, just that somebody wanted some free water.

Yesterday-

It was so crazy, I got in late, yea yea nothing new. I missed going to the officer dining room (odr) to get something for my lunch and I didn't bring anything. I had an apple and some gatorade all day. I had starving pains, and to top it off there was no coffee. I had a headache by the time I left. My friend called and asked if I wanted to eat some crabs, and of course I said yes, so I headed to her house after getting the kids.

My son has been walking completely by himself for over a month now, seriously walking like a 2 year old, and it is so cute. At nine months, and he is tackling his older brother, lol! They have a great time. By the way, this isn't really off topic. So after we enjoy some crabs, feed the kids, I felt a little better until the unthinkable happened. The baby was following my friend's daughter, walking and drinking his bottle, and holding on to his stuffed lion. He reached to hold himself up on the wall, and his arm slipped, in a split second, I saw my 9 month old baby boy slip and hit his forehead on the corner of the tv stand. I jumped up and grabbed him, thinking just get to him fast, I look at him, and immediately become hysterical. He was bleeding and there was a knot! OMG! I start crying and screaming to get his car seat in the car, he is crying, my friend is rushing to me, telling me it isn't that bad, he'll be okay and takes him from my arms. Oh no, I scream at her to give him back to me, put him in the car after cleaning the little bit of blood off and start rushing to the hospital. I called the doctor call center because it is after hours, and a doctor calls me back within 5 mins. She asked me if he was knocked unconscious, I say no. She asked if the cut was big enough that I had to hold it together, I say no. She tells me, he will be fine, to ice it and it will be okay in the morning. I am still panicky, but I decide I will watch him for the night, and make sure that he isn't acting out of the ordinary, and if not then I wouldn't go to the hospital. He was fine, stopped crying before I ever got him in the car, but still. When we got home, he was running around with my son, and my niece like nothing ever happened. He wouldn't let me ice it, I hope it goes down all the way and that would have no effect. My headache was worse after that.

The same thing happened to my seven year old when he was one, and I did the same thing, only I made it to the hospital, and made them look into everything. This time was more scary because a two year old died last year after hitting his head at day care, then going home and going to sleep. Needless to say, my night was too crazy to even think about anything else.
 
Today when I tried to wake up, I'd end up falling back to sleep again and again. It must have something to do with those two benedril tablets I took last night. For the past three days I have been constantly swallowing and feeling as though my throat is numb while my ears feel like they need to pop and I cannot get them to by swallowing and the swallowing turns numb and so forth. My throat has been feeling like it is closing up, and with everything else, at these times I feel as though it is getting difficult to breath, and wonder if that is what is happening or is it just me panicking. I have a feeling that this is an allergic reaction to something, but I don't know what. The antibiotic that I am taking, I've taken it before, but decided not to this morning to see how my day goes. So I popped the benedril last night hoping that this would help, and I think it has, but I could not wake up this morning, and I feel as though I just want to lay down and take a nap on my desk.

I have been getting back into eating alot of fruits, and mildly more veggies. I'm broke, so my fridge and freezer don't look too good. This morning I ate 1 slice of multi-grain bread with some grape jelly and 1 cup of water melon with some coffee. I have some cucumbers for snack and I have to come to the dining hall to see what they are serving today, hope it's not too disappointing. Tonight I am going to make spagetti. I do mine with meat sauce, and I normally only eat the meat sauce and not the noodles, I will have some mixed veggies. I am doing my niece's hair for school so I don't really have time to stand over a stove or anything. Everyone have a great weekend.
 
I have been snacking on cucumbers too! I love fresh produce this time of year. That really sucks that you haven't been feeling well. You don't have the best luck do you! Get some rest this weekend and lots of water! Stay positive and keep it up!

LOL! These last few months have been quite crazy, I can tell you that. I think a lot of my life is out of whack by the surprise pregnancy and just not being used to things. I never experienced being so tired and moody in all my life, frankly because I'm not getting as much sleep. My eldest son was older, so my sleep wasn't disrupted through the night, and he slept through as a baby. I never realised how much sleep was important to me until this! Sleep was one of my favorite things to do!

Is it Allergy season?

It must be for me! I'm still swallowing alot , but it doesn't hurt or anything, just super annoying, and the mucus spitting (sorry). This weekend was a good one, no stress, didn't really do anything special except hair for back to school. I did my little cousin, who also babysits for me when I need a break, and my 4 year old niece who goes back to school today. My son goes back next monday, which is good because we still need to buy school shoes. I'm also moving in a month, so, it is pretty hectic. I hung out with my neighbor on the front stoop saturday, just talking and such. I had a glass of wine, but I really couldn't drink it, so most of it was wasted. Made homemade lasagna, that I haven't made in centuries, and it was so good! Things like this weaken me, although I ate lots of apples and yogurt! I had clams, which were so seafoody. I thought about starting to run. I just haven't figured out how to work it into my weekly schedule. I am not an early bedtime person, and even if I was, waking up earlier than I do now probably would put me at a fail. I used to be able to do that too. I sometimes wonder if my weight has something to do with how off I am and how tired I am when I wake up in the morning, then again, I wake up more often now, even if the baby doesn't disturb my rest. On wednesday, I think I am going to change my schedule to come to work an hour later, and just stay an hour later, than should help. So, maybe, I should just start by jogging in the evening. Exercising is also a way to clear my head, so doing it, is only beneficial to me period. I don't know, I'll update about my day later. I want to try and work some type of schedule to stick to. Oh, yea, I meet my son's new babysitter today! She used to babysit his father years ago when he was a baby to elementary school, so I think that is a plus!
 
So, yesterday evening, i met the official daycare mother, who will be taking care of my baby when I am at work. Up until now it has only been family. I guess you can say she is probably pretty close, she knows his family on his father's side very well, and she also takes care of my best friends' children, so I am much more comfortable about sending him. She was so sweet, and her daycare is completely child proof, and her prices are better than reasonable. She doesn't do daycare for the money, she simply enjoys children. i found out that I actually went to school with her daughter and my sister with her other daughter, and we got along well. I'm relieved to have found someone like her.

Yesterday, I might have overdone it just a little with my carbs. I keep gaining and losing the same 2 lbs, but I have to admit, my activity level hasn't been all that. I find myself having to do so much running around, that when I actually get in the door, I just want to hang with the kids and relax. When I got home yesterday, I heard the news that the baby, (the baby) broke my 42 inch screen TV, leaving us with no sound. Omg! I really need to know how to fix this. Apparently the wires were hanging, and he reached up and snatched them, and the prongs to the dvd player and the satellite prongs broke on the inside of the TV, and now there is no sound. On top of that, I left back out to go to the store, and came back and there was no picture where his idiot father failed to tuck the wires properly and he snatched them again. My goodness. I haven't figured out who to call yet, but I don't want to spend a boat load of money, times are too hard right now to be doing all of that. So had a late dinner, dirty rice. It was spicey and satisfying.
 
I want to get the ice cream out of the house. As I mentioned in some post before that since I've severed my relationship with soda, and yes, it truly was a relationship, I have developed this irresistable urge for ice cream! Ice cream has never really been my thing. I used to eat maybe one spoonfull every so often and that was it, and that was usually at someone's celebration where they had cake or something. I have never been a candy person or did much sweets at all, except sweet potato pie at thanksgiving and christmas, and whenever someone else baked brownies and I happen to stop by. Now, I think about sweets quite a bit, and I succombed to the ice cream sandwich last night. One is fine, but I had two. There is one left, and I'm hoping someone eats it, or I can promptly throw it out before I am tempted to eat it when I get home today. I'm going to concentrate on healthy today. Last night, I decided to take a walk, and instead of putting my baby in the stroller, I carried him for added weight for two miles. The problem with that is after a while, he wanted to walk so he could figure out what he could get into. I put him down for a little and he was trying to pull me every which away! When we were done and went inside, he wanted to go back outside. He loves going for walks and listening to the nighttime sounds of the birds and crickets, frogs and things. We live by a pond so the sounds of the frogs are very loud and constant.

Today, I am back on my oatmeal kick:

Oatmeal, two egg whites, coffee
salad with lots of veggies and tuna, light ranch
cucumbers for snack
apple and orange
dinner will be broiled crabcake, steamed shrimp, and mixed veggies

Walking 2-3 miles, with the stroller this time!

Thanks so much, you understand my pain. LOL!

Yesterday was good.

Strawberries and oatmeal, 1% milk for breakfast
Crab cake, stringbeans and corn for lunch
Apple and watermelon as snacks
Intense cardio workout at the gym for a half an hour, and when I say intense, I am not playing, and I seriously haven't been back there in months so I was pooped!
Dinner was chicken breast (less than half a piece), broccoli mixed with stuffing. I didn't eat alot of this at all, working out makes me not eat very much, so I need do it more honestly.
Had a glass of V8 Splash with my dinner.

I am going to go to spark people to so I can figure out how many calories I ate, I'm not good with keeping up with that.

Today, I will be going back to the gym, as long as they have daycare open until 8 pm, there is no excuse. I found myself almost dipping on it yesterday by saying I had so many things to do, and maybe I should start back the next day, but I snapped out of it, and went anyway despite it all. I was proud of this because I resisted the temptation to stay home and relax. Now if I can only do that with getting up on time in the morning! I won't have choice on Monday, the 30th because my son goes back to school, and the baby goes to a new daycare, so I better snap into shape real quick.

heheh the weekend away sounds great fun!! And a good motivator to lose weight for - I find it really helps having a target in teh future. It has to be at least a couple of months away for me or I feel I can't achieve much before it comes...

Well done for going to the gym even when other stuff was lurking around trying to get you to put it off. I keep reminding myself that it is the little every day decisions that mean weight loss or no weight loss - you know, the "do I put this in my mouth or not" decision, the "urgh should I go to the gym tonight or leave it to tomorrow" decision....make the right choice more often than not, slowly increase how often you make that right choice and the weight comes off....

Keep it up hon!

Thanks jjjay! I am definitely staying more conscious of the "better" choice decisions this go around.

Friday -

So, I think I made a plan, but not sure if I posted it here, didn't read through my before post, but I feel like typing so what the heck. What I ended up doing. Went to the gym after work and picking up my kids, took them to the daycare, and got busy with the treadmill. I set the setting to interval so that my workout could be mixed up with random inclines. Not in my plans, but ended up choosing to do so, as I felt like I could push myself harder, so it was best to do so. I walked for two minutes at 3.7, then for the next two minutes I jogged for two minutes at 4.2. This was done repeatedly every two minutes up to the thirty minute mark. A total of walking fast paced for 16 minutes and 14 minutes of jogging all while the treadmill randomly inclined at it's own will. I loved it. I was proud of myself. I decided I wasn't done with cardio, I was sweating and hot, but encouraged to do just a little more as I wasn't ready to leave the gym. So I jumped on one of the newer machines, I'm not sure what it is called. it is sort of like the eliptical, but instead of just going the motion of forward and backward, you can step and sprint and stuff. It actually works you much harder than the eliptical, and using it I burn alot more calories. I also find it more entertaining. I placed the setting on interval, again I wanted randomness.

The day before i started out as stepping and it has this meter on the side that shows what you are working out by using the machine in a certain motion, and discovered the best benefit for my body closer to the end of the workout. On this day, i decided to just go right for the sprint, and the level of intensity switched like every minute or so, burn 12.8 calories per minute at some points and 11.5 calories at others. It never jumped belore 11. The last five minutes were the hardest, and I managed to do fifteen minutes, so all together 45 minutes of cardio.

Next, I don't think I did enough or pushed myself too well in this area, but here it goes.

3 sets of chest presses
3 sets of ab workout (using the leg lift while holding self up on elbows) You probably know what I'm talking about. I used this thing for years before when I worked out and never knew what it was called.
1 set of ab crunches on machine with 15lbs weight because I didn't think the other workout went well on the last set.
3 sets of pull down bar for the back.

I was done. I stretched for about the next five minutes, especiall since I had to get my children, drank water, and refilled bottle for the drive home.

Dinner was small piece of chicken breast, steamed broccoli, spoon of stuffing.
 
For the days i haven't put it in, my breakfast has been oatmeal, and egg whites, half a yolk because I like it, or slice turkey deli when my job doesn't have boiled eggs.

On Saturday, 8/28 I wanted to experiment with making a smoothie for breakfast with my fresh strawberries and frozen blueberries, but that was interrupted somehow. I can't remember if ate anything or not. To tell you the truth, I kind of forgot about eating. I attended a funeral at 1 pm, and at about 3:30 I stopped to the arby's to pick up a sandwich for a friend. There I order a small mozzerella sticks. I barely ate them. I wasn't feeling hungry and felt forced to eat them because I didn't want to be low on energy, and I still had a lot of running around to do since school was starting on monday. Later on, I ended up have a shot of bacardi, and a skinnygirl margarita. Yes that is what it is called. It comes already mixed in a bottle. I am looking up the calories right now, might have to edit post.

So after that, met with my girlfriends and we went out dancing. Sweat all my hair out, and had a blast. I ate some onion rings after this because I felt like I was starving!

For some reason when I start working out I tend to not eat much, not because I am trying to, but I just forget about it, and in the past always had to make a mental note to make sure I eat, but when I have alot going on, it happens. Saturday was supposed to be like my restday, but the dancing was a great workout. Sunday also was considered a restday with so light walking, like a long stroll. So nothing intense, just something constant to keep me on my feet for a little while and burn some extra calories. I was still a little sore, and movement loosens me up, plus the baby loves to go walking. I did this after his bath and lotion down. I put him in the stroller and just walked around my neighborhood, put him to sleep for the night.

Breakfast was oatmeal w/ maple syrup (lit), couldn't eat it all, half sausage.

I'm so tired I can't even remember what I ate for lunch and dinner.

Snacking was apple and cucumbers I know.

Okay, so I found the calorie information for skinnygirl margarity.
It is 100 calories for every 4oz. I had about that, no more than 6 oz. I know, so I'll sum it up to about 150 calories.

Now, finally Yesterday, Monday 8/30.

Breakfast - Strawberries and cream oatmeal, no eggs, or turkey, so I researched cottage cheese because I heard that it was a good source of protein. Found good information, looked up ways to eat it. I mixed it with peaches, and it was absolutely disgusting! I took another small bite to make sure I really couldn't stand it, and tossed it out. Ate some cucumbers after that.

Lunch - Small piece of steak that I cooked the night before but did not eat and some peas. I still had to make myself eat. I forgot about snacking all together. I had some apples and a fat free pudding but I was busy with work and stuff. I will do better today.

Workout:
Took only my eldest son to the gym. I wanted to take the BodyBlast class. Since I didn't know what this workout consisted of, I decided to do a small warm-up before class, and stop a few minutes before. I got on that machine again that is like the eliptical but not. I'm thinking it is a cross trainer. Note to self to look this up. I set it for ten minutes but decided on only seven because I was sweating and could feel it really working me, and had burned 80 calories already. I didn't want to burn myself out before this BodyBlast. I walked around the gym a little to cool off. When I break a sweat and while I am working out, I continue to sweat well after, so it was hard to coold down. I talked with the instructor a little, and another one came in. they were setting up stations. I thought it looked interesting. Then when I saw three guys come in that were built. You know like really built like they are die hard workout peeps. I said out loud to the girl beside me, "This is about to get real embarassing." The instructors demonstrated the workouts that were to be done a minute at a time, using medicine balls, kettle bell balls, weights, squats, and a bunch of other stuff. I was just like, "wow." We also had exercises that were high impact or low depending on comfortability that we did between these other exercises before changing stations. The warm up was nice, then came the stations. This class and the various workouts was the most intense workout I have ever experienced. Every muscle was worked, and cardio and so forth. Just when I thought I would give, it was over. I was wet all over, and my pants were beginning to fall off of me. I hydrated, but continued to sweat alot. I was soaked. The cool down was stretching with the exercise balls and something like a mini workout while sitting on the ball. It seemed very intimate! LOL!

I knew that after this workout, I would probably really feel it in the morning. My sister cooked chicken and dumplings, and I was there for a while doing her hair, so I did eat, but only a few dumplings, and some baked chicken that she cooked with the left over chicken.

Today, 8/31, I feel like I really put some work into my workout. I plan to go again on wednesday. I like it when I kick my own ass, it helps me get focused.
 
Yesterday, dinner was 3 blue crabs, 20 small clams with butter. I know, bad butter. I walked both before dinner and after, still sore from the Monday Body Blast.

Today's food:
B - Quaker peaches and cream 130
2 small hard boiled eggs, half yolk 161 (calories total to both yolk)
Tomato slice 4
coffee, 8oz, 1tsp sugar, non dairy creamer, appr 2tsp or less 38 (assuming 2tsp)

Total 334

Lunch
fish stick 1.5 114
chicken wing (small) with splash of hot sauce 64
one cup of cucumbers sliced with peel 14

total 191

Dinner

Maryland Blue crabs 6 crabs about 6oz 174
V8 Splash, Topical Blend, 8oz 70
Fresh Mixed Vegetables frozen 60

total 304

Snack so far
1 large apple 125

This is only about 953 calories. I may probably eat more crabs than that, no more than two though. Now if they were snow crabs, I'd eat the whole lot, but they aren't. I use worcester shire sauce or a tsp or two with water to cook my veggies, so there is added calories that I haven't looked up and I don't know. When planning my meals, it is best that I stay under 1200, being as I am allowed 1200 - 1550. That way, if I have a slip up or eat more food than intended, I have that lead way, which I usually do. Then I edit the next day on sparkpeople to see how I've done. I'm usually right around 1200 or 1350. I have had like 2 really high calorie days in the past week, so I've modified some of my days to help me with the overages. I still have not weighed myself. I want to wait a while, and try to not be obsessed with the scale. I don't want to weigh myself until I actually feel or see the improvement as to not get disappointed and discouraged with myself that I haven't lost a pound. I know that as long as I am exercising and watching what I eat that I am improving even if the scale doesn't show it. So I'm okay right now. The day that I step on the scale is something to both look forward to and intimidating at the same time.

I'm going to yoga at the gym today. I have only tried it one other time. I was hoping for Body Blast again today, but I can only make it to the gym in a certain time slot, so it is yoga. I like the variation anyhow because it gives me the opportunity to experience different workouts, it works me, and also my body won't get too used to anything.

That class sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you keep it up! How did you like using the kettle bell? It's my fav! I bought one for at home so I can do swings anytime of the day. I'm surprised you are were able to walk the next day! You must be in pretty good shape already! Eating is looking really good too! Keep it up!!
 
Hey njoyabl,

Its been so long since I have spoken to you, I missed you and your posts. You sound like you have been doing some really great workouts! I am so glad to read that you were on the stepper! You seem to be staying on track and working hard and eating well, I think if you keep doing what your doing the scale will show some changes and your clothes will probably show changes in the fit as well. I hope that you have been well and I look forward to staying caught up on your progress!
 
I've been reading through your diary and I find it so inspirational that you can juggle so much! My life atm is the total opposite but the fact that you can do so much motivates me. Keep up the hard work because you really deserve the reward!

That class sounds like a lot of fun! I hope you keep it up! How did you like using the kettle bell? It's my fav! I bought one for at home so I can do swings anytime of the day. I'm surprised you are were able to walk the next day! You must be in pretty good shape already! Eating is looking really good too! Keep it up!!

Hey, I actually felt that the kettle bell gave me a challenge that I like because it wasn't easy, but I could really feel it working my muscles so I loved the workout. I am thinking of buying one myself. The class is every monday, but I learned that there is another class that uses the kettle bell, so I am going to try that one too. I missed this monday's class because I was tending to my baby's diaper rash. He just started daycare were there a alot of other kids, so I don't know if he caught a virus or what, but he has runny bowels, or it could be more teething. As for being in good shape, well I am definitely overweight, but I don't look my weight. I have alot of muscle tone, and have always been pretty strong, so it takes alot to really put to where I can't continue to get a workout the day after, plus I find that it helps to loosen me up better so that I don't get so stiff by not doing anything.
