Day 87 (Sunday)
Ok, had to get up for early church today. After church, ran thekids to sunday school, then I ran to get some propane and a coffee. (I dont care how cold it is, I'm grilling so I dont have yucky dishes!). The coffee flavor was Pumpkin spice and was delicious- I bought a bag to brew at home- not like the 500 calorie drink from dunkin donuts lol. Got some laundry done, still more to do. Got to see DD report card, straight A's in all her classes- impressive as this her first semester in middle school, and she is talking all accelerated classes. I should be getting my yougest's report card Monday.
I'm actually looking forward to getting my measurements and taking an updated picture to check my progress- Day 90 is Wednesday!

Day 89 (Tuesday)
Stress . . Stress. . . Stress. Too tired and did not exercise this am, but don't feel too bad about it- I'm entitled a day off. The days are starting to blur together. I worked, then had to leave early to head for a pre meeting with an interventionist with my siblings- my Dad bailed out. I didn't get home untill 930pm and still had not eaten. Hubby made me feel a little guilty for not spending time with him, as I am consumed with my parents issues. Got a phone call from parents(after 11pm)- Dad in extreme pain- brothers drove an hour+ to take him to ER and they didnt get home till 6am, I didnt fall asleep until 4am. My eating habits are lacking- I know struggling to find time to eat, my stomach in knots from stress anyway. I fogot my water bottle this morning, so I got mostly no water in either. Doing my best- hope things improve soon.

I am so sorry that you are having to go thru all this.
And I realize that hubby may feel neglected but now is not the time for him to pull the guilt trip on you. Sometimes people unintentionally pick the wrong times to download their feelings. I hope that he will be more supportive of you in the future.
Know that you are in my prayers.

HI Yarmiah!!
I am so sorry about the stress you are going through. And I admire you for staying on track and keeping your focus through all this. Now I feel bad whining about my sickness and totally falling off track...while you are dealing with such painful and stressing times. I need to have some of your willpower and strenght girl.
Keep going, you are a great inspiration for me and I wish things get better.

Day 90 (Wednesday)
SOOOO tired this am, but knew I NEEDED to get on the NT and run off some of this stress and frustration. I was literally crying my eyes out for 1/2 of the session but kept pushing thru trying to find more strength and resolve and I find it truly does help me. My eating today sucked, as you will see from my journal, having consumed under 1000 calories. It's due to 2 things- no time to eat, too distracted to eat. Again, I only got about 1/2 of my water in, same reasons as above for eating so little. I am aware of this and am working this as best I can.
I called a Cancer support group & a kind person there will be meeting with myself and my parents on Thursday. I really think this will not only help them, but help me and my stress, and then allow things to start to get back to normal as well.
Breakfast 8:00 AM Bananas, raw, 1 large (8" to 8-7/8" long) 1 121
Breakfast 10:00 AM weight watchers yogurt , 1 container 1/2 50

Lunch 1:00 PM Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled, 1 large 1 78
Lunch 1:00 PM Light Done Right! Salad Dressing - Ranch, tablespoon 1 38
Afternoon Snack 4:00 PM Candies, M&M MARS, MARS MILKY WAY Bar, 1 bar, fun size 1 76

Bell, Nia and Haj- Thank you so much for your support. The real life drama has got to let up soon, but until then I have to deal with what life is handing me, and having friends like you makes it a heck of a lot more managable. I made a commitment when I started this journey (for the last time) to NEVER give up- and I don't intend to do so, no matter what. That being said . . .
I have now reached the 90 day mark!!! let's see how I am doing . .:
Start 08/07 182 lbs
-chest 42inches
-waist 35 inches
-hips 45 1/2 inches
-thigh 25 inches
-arms 13 inches
Today 11/15/07 168.8 -13.2 lbs.
-chest 41 inches -2 inches
-waist 33 1.3 inches -1 1/2 inches
-hips 43 inches -1 1/2 inches
-thigh 24 inches -1 inch
-arm 12 1/4 inches -3/4 inch
I wanted to post pictures here, but there is "picture icon" to choose, so I guess I'll have to use links instead. The first one is before shot, and the 2nd is now.

Day 91 & 92 (Thursday & Friday)
Disaster-
The crisis won't let up. I made an appointment to have some "Cancer Counselors" meet with myself and parents at my folks home Thursday evening. It was easy to see my Mom had been drinking, and Dad confessed that she did not feed him lunch or allow him a nap. (He's 64 yrs and down to 139lbs and about 5' 8''). The meeting went well, was very informative- at least for Dad n me- but the nurse noticed severe swelling in his feet and took a few vitals and urged us to go to the ER. I was there, alone with my Dad (refusing Mom to come cuz she was drunk) till about 2am. It was heart wretching to witness my Dad suffering with so much pain, and not able to do anything to releive him. Obviously, I did not have time to eat(again). I did however get on the NT early in the day before any of this crap unfolded. So I get to bed @3am, only to wake at 5 30am as my hubby wanted to discuss some issues about my folks, and questions about the kids etc.
Now its Friday and am cleaning the house and the sun is not even up. I get the kids off to school, and head back to the hospital over an hour away. When I see my Dad, he is in MISERY. After alot of ranting and phone calls on my part, my Dad FINALLY got some pain meds that would work at about 11 15am. They are still workin on tests to address the swelling, the high BP (which was 178/103 when he came thru the ER), the pain, etc. The good news is the blood tests are coming back good, and the liver and kidney function is good too. On 2 seperate occasions today I had to talk to Mom about her drinking and the effect its having on Dad and his health. I was able to eat a banana and bagle w/ cream cheese, but it took me over 3 hours to eat it, and never got my lunch. Headed to work to help close out the day, picked up the kids and got home. Ate left overs for dinner and am now typing this out.
Obviously my calories are too low. This is not a trend, however. I am far from starving myself, and my Dad's health is a priority atm and am doing the best I can. Will get back on track as soon as life allows me to.

Day 93 (Saturday)
Got up early for work today- just love that on a Saturday. Was gonna head up and see Dad, but he was released from the hospital and other family was to be on hand so I ate lunch, headed home and took a well deserved nap. Ended up taking care of a few more chores around the house afterwards. Dad is doing better, but not near where he needs to be as far as pain management. I'll likely be contacting his Dr.'s and the support nurse to help address his meds. Some water, but not all and food much better today.
Breakfast 8:30 AM Bagel - Plain, bagel 1 335

Got up early for work today- just love that on a Saturday. Was gonna head up and see Dad, but he was released from the hospital and other family was to be on hand so I ate lunch, headed home and took a well deserved nap. Ended up taking care of a few more chores around the house afterwards. Dad is doing better, but not near where he needs to be as far as pain management. I'll likely be contacting his Dr.'s and the support nurse to help address his meds. Some water, but not all and food much better today.

Day 95 & 96 (Monday & Tuesday)
Things have remained about the same. Mom & Dad continue to be a concern and focus for me. The biggest problem I am dealing with now, is what very little time I have to do all there is I have to do. I spend so many hours on the phone with Dr.'s, & family members, time spent on the computer reseraching and emailing, that it leaves less time to take care of things at home like cooking, laundry, etc.
The good news is that I am not using food as a coping mechanism.
The bad news is, because I cam crunched for time, I have not been keeping up with my food journal. Also, I have been making "quick" food choices, not having time to cook lately. I have not been exercising as much as I had becuase the lack of sleep is catching up to me as well. Forget the water intake. Grrr . . .
So, in a nutshell, I am doing OK but not 100% on track. I refuse to be derailed! For whatever reason, I am being tested right now and I won't fail. I hope to find the strength and resolve to pick myself up by my boot straps and straighten out.
I apologise to my friends for not having alot of time to stop by your diaries, for the reasons above. KNow that I think about you guys and hope you have a Great Thanksgiving (but dont overdue it!!!)

You are doing a wonderful job with a the situation you are in. You have conquered your biggest obstacle........USING FOOD AS A COPING MECHANISM!
Please don't feel guilty for not being able to keep up with everything else. This time right now is more for your father and that is okay.
Just knowing and being aware of the choices you are making and not going into a mindless automatron mode is the best thing you can do for you at this time.
And please don't feel bad that you can't get to our diaries. We all understand just how busy you are. If anything (at least for myself) we look forward to hearing from you in your diary so that we can encourage you during this most difficult time. It's you who needs to lean on us, not us leaning on you my dear!
So please know that we all love ya and look forward to hearing from you but that if other things need to come first than that is okay. We will be here waiting for you.
Have a nice Thanksgiving Yarmiah and again know that you are in my thoughts and prayers always.
