Before After

Thanks for my good friends

Today things look much better - the only upside to being furious is I don't have an appetite - DH apologized - brought home flowers and seems to get it -- I was seriously ready to hang in the towel. Now I am just going to stay focused and positive --

Thanks and good night

 

Thank Goodness for blogging

Right now I am steaming. DH and I just had a huge fight, with him doing all of the talking - not me. He is furious with one of my sons (not his) and has it totally out of proportion. I just wrote to a friend and told her I am sleeping downstairs just to stay away from him.

The bad part is in a way I understand his frustration - but screaming and swearing at me isn't making it better. He really hurt my feelings this time -

I'm supposed to work for him for a few hours tomorrow - which sucks because then I'll have to see him. If I don't speak to him it will be obvious to his secretaries. He does a lot for me so I feel pretty obligated.

I know this isn't about weight loss - but sometimes I think I could lose 250 pounds of dead weight if I dumped him! - Not really, mostly we get along great and he is a good person but he has issues and I don't see them resolving anytime soon -

Good night all.................., hope you sleep better than I probably will.

Not the greatest

I kind of ate whatever I felt like this weekend- it was so nice and we had so much fun - until about 1/2 hour ago - DH is in a snit about something- my fault I'm sure- so now I feel like I am walking on eggshells- oh well- he'll get over it- I don't know why my italics are doing this- anyway- I hope my weigh in tomorrow isn't too bad - I did walk close to an hour both weekend days so hopefully that did some damage control!

Walking Through the Pain

I started a walking routine Monday night  - 1st with 30, then 45 then 60 and about 50 today - and........., my shins are killing me! I am kind of bummed I was in such good shape before my ovarian cyst reared it's ugly head and now I have to start all over - the surgery was 3 weeks ago yesterday and I've still got some pain issues but it seems to be getting better - my weight is hovering around 180 - down 14 pounds since my surgery -  I'd really like to keep my momentum going - I'm going to AZ in 10 days and then to Las Vegas so I have to keep my eye on the prize -

On the downside I ate like a pig for lunch - I have a friend in town and her favorite restaurant is Chinese and I ate Sesame chicken and crab meat rangoons - good thing I walked before I ate -

Personal Issues

This blog is pissing me off- my blogs are not showing up that I can see and the scale says my  weight is up - 4 pounds and I've been really good - oh well - maybe it is salt or maybe I shouldn't be weighing myself 5 times a day. I just got to do the best I can and it will show up - eventually - hope everyone else is doing well - I'm just frustrated!

Going to get there

It's great to be back. Today I ate fairly well, no snacking but I only ate dinner  and lunch. I walked with DH, we are going to Vegas in Nov. and I'd really like to get in shape by then. I've got over 3 weeks to work on it and will be off work until then because of my hysterectomy. I'm still sore but feel better every day.

I am going to try to log all of my activities and really watch it.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Personal Issues

I must have run out of room on my other blog, anyway - I had a total hysterectomy on Sept. 24. So far I have lost 16 pounds from my highest weight of 195. I can see why people don't know they have Ovarian Cancer. My cyst had to come out and practically knock me in the head for me to know what was going on. In retrospect (and actually even in pictures) I can see my belly was sticking out - more on one side even - but I just thought I was getting the dreaded middle age spread or something. Anyway - note to self, if things seem out of whack - get them checked out!

On My Way Back

Hi there everyone! I used to be Sunny2 but I can't get back on with that name. I have been off for a while

. I had the weirdest thing happen (to me anyway). I walked solidly for 7 weeks straight and hour a day 6 days a week and I couldn't lose much weight, maybe 5 pounds - so I started really intensifying my workout, hills, longer distances, faster walking...., nothing. Then I got a really bad pain in my side - then it went away, I started walking again - 3 days then it came back - this time I knew something was wrong.

 Went to the Dr. first they said they thought it was diverticulitis- did an x-ray. I had a huge mass in my abdomen. Did a cat scan and an ultrasound and i had a 20 cm ovarian cyst that looked cancerous. I was scared to death because I am a breast cancer survivor and ovarian cancer can be so deadly. I had surgery on the 24th of September and it was benign -
