Couldn't keep my promise...

I feel horrible writing this but I can't keep my promise of a more upbeat blog posting from my last post. Although I'll try my best at the end of this post. :)

I don't really have the time or energy to write out a complete synopsis of what's been going on and the reason why I haven't posted in the past two weeks, so I hope you don't mind a really compacted point list with the really low points for now.

- Great Aunt had another heart attack. This is her third. I found out about it last week. Want to go see her but can't because of money and the issue in the next point...

- My cat has blood in his urine, an infection in his mouth, his x-ray turned up nothing, he needs an ultrasound once he is done his antibiotics and surgery on his tooth in the next 2 months max.

- Issues with my family beyond what's going on with my Great Aunt.

- Issues with my Husband's family, that my Husband is dealing with, which has been spilling over into our relationship.

- Trust issues with my Husband, still, which is kind of hitting a peak at the moment.

- I bruised the hell out of my ankle when I kicked my office chair because the thing finally broke on me on Valentine's Day and I reached my limit with that and all of the above and took my frustration out on it (or so I tried) by trying to kick it and failing miserably. It's a really awsome bruise, one of those nice deep ones that take days to show up and possibly months to dissapear. My last deep one on my knee took a week to show up and over to months before it was gone. It had the most amazing colour patterns!

- Then finally, the arm pains/chest pains that I've been having consistantly for the last 3 days, which were keeping me up at night. Went to a walk in clinic this morning and the doctor told me I have more knots in the arm/back/neck then he's ever seen on one person and perscribed me muscle relaxants for the next 30 days.

On a positive note....

I got me some swanky Vancouver 2010 red mittens just in time for the opening ceremonies! :D

And I was lucky enough to be watching the Olympics when two out of our three athletes (Alex Bilodeau and Maelle Ricker (I actually cried after Maelle recieved her gold medal and was singing along to our national anthem, silly of me, I know but I got caught up in the moment and her Mom just looked so proud of her.)) won gold and two out of our three athletes (Jennifer Heil and Marianne St-Gelais (Happy Birthday Marianne!) won silver! :)

So much fun! I hope everyone else is enjoying the Olympics! I know some countires have decided not to cover them as much this year but here in Canada, we are getting all day coverage and I am loving getting the opporitunity to watch when ever I am near the television. :)

Anyway, I hope to start posting more regularly when things calm down. In the mean time, I hope you guys won't mind sporadic posts again for just a little while longer.

Have a great day! :)

Long time no post...(pictures included)

Certainly has been a while since I last posted.
 
I have just gotten so off track these last few months, luckily my weight has remained in the range that I want to keep it in but the problems with my Hypothyroidism have just thrown me for a complete loop. I'm not sleeping properly, I'm getting little sleep, I'm constantly exhausted, sore, I can't think straight or stay focused, just basically mentally checked out and not in the mood to do anything, on top of that my panic attacks are getting stronger and more frequent again. (Wow, that was a long sentence.)
 
I started a 110 Day challenge on Monday, November 30th (I'm on day 60, it goes till my 26th birthday, Friday, March 19th.) and I've only worked out for 9 days (not including today) and 5 of those days were the first week of my challenge, the rest of those days are from this week. I've been very good with my food, minus a week of going overboard with sunflower seeds. It had been so long since I had last had any and I couldn't keep it down to 1 serving a day (330 calories per severing - 1/3 cup) because they were just so yummy!
 
I'm trying really hard to get back into the swing of it again now though because it's becoming apparent that I can't wait for things to sort themselves out, I need to force myself back into some of my habits. I was hoping my issuses would have been resolved by now and I'd have my energy (among other things) back but my doctor has pushed back my next set of blood tests/test results until after my birthday because he wants to see how my body deals with the dosage of medication I'm on now. I feel it's off enough to warrant a change but my last test results put me literally just below the change line that my doctor feels he's comfortable with that he wanted to wait 3 more months before doing anything. So, I've been stuck and will be stuck feeling like crud for a while longer.
 
I'm hoping if I can push myself hard enough to get back to it, exercising will help my mood improve. I always turn into a cranky/complaining pain in the arse when my levels are off. I hate it. My entire point of view and outlook changes for the worst, it's so frustrating.
 
Oh, speaking of my last set of blood test results... Apparently I won't be able to complete #12 on my 25 Things list (as you can see in the post below) because my iron levels are far too low, my doctor said I'm not allowed donating blood. (I wanted to do it on Valentine's Day.) He wanted to put me on medication but I asked to have until my next set of blood tests to try and bring my levels back up on my own. So, maybe after my birthday I'll get to do it but I've had trouble with my iron levels for a long time, so who knows what will happen.
 
Just one more thing on my list that I won't be able to complete. It's quickly turning into a disaster list. Anything on it that costs money I can't do. We have no budget for any of it, so unless I win the lottery in the next few weeks (and my fingers are certainly crossed for it, lol) then I've failed to do what I wanted. I don't know, maybe I set the bar too high and was just setting myself up to fail? I really thought I could handle it and we could find the budget for all of it but I was wrong.
 
Poop.
 
Anyway, on a lighter, more upbeat note, I found a picture of myself (one of very, very few) from when I was close to my heaviest weight. I thought that you might like to see the difference. It certainly surprised me, I didn't think I looked that bad at the time, guess it shows how oblivious we can be sometimes. It's eye opening for sure.
 
08 - 18 - 2005 - I was probably around 170 pounds. 
(Low or mid 170's, possibly high 160's, I'm not sure. I don't have many recordings of my weight before April of 2006)
 
 
10 - 18 - 2009 - I was 127 pounds.
 
 
 
So, I'm hoping to start posting more regularly again. (And hopefully they'll be more upbeat than todays!) I don't know if I'll do daily updates again until after my current challenge is over, unless of course there is anyone out there who wants to see my daily stats? In which case I won't mind posting them.
 
I hope everyone out there reading this is well. I wish you guys all the best on your weight loss journeys! Keep working hard and you can do anything!
 
Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you guys again soon. :)

25 Things For My 25th Year - List Update - Pic Intense and Video!

Can I just say that my vacation did not go the way I waned it to, so I barely got done what I wanted to get done. Things kept going wrong or things had to be pushed aside for another time, for beyond stupid reasons and when we were doing some of the things that we wanted to do, like getting a Beavertail and hot chocolate during our Tourist day in The Old Port of Montreal, for the first time again in 5 years, we found bugs floating in my hot chocolate and plastic bits in my beavertail! Eww! Won't be going there again! And as an aside note, I'm so glad I pulled off the top of the cup to blow on my hot chocolate to cool it down a touch before actually drinking any otherwise I never would have known!
 
Oh and I can't count how many times the camera died on me! I kept forgetting to recharge it when it needed it! Gah, I felt like an ass because of that throughout most of our vacation.
 
The vacation itself sucked for the most part, except for the things on my list that I did manage to get done. So enjoy the pictures and video!
 
Also, please excuse the watermarks on my photos. I now have to start tagging my pictures because some ass started hotlinking some of my old ones and claiming them as their own. I had to set my albums to private and change all the extentions to get the pictures off their site. Anyways...
_______________________
 
Here it is, the update for my '25 Things For My 25th Year' challenge that I originally posted on my birthday, March 19th 2009.
 
Bolded and in green are the ones that I am currently working on, bolded and in red are the ones I have completed and pink is just commentary.
 
25 Things For My 25th Year
 
1) Go Skydiving! <-> Now Ripriding x2!
 
- UNFORTUNATELY skydiving is WAY out of our budget range, so to substitute for this challenge we went on a  RIPRIDE instead. I'm going one more time this month, the weekend before it closes for the season.
 
EVIDENCE =
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
^ My Husband after his Ripride, right after me. I was first for the day! Woohoo!
 
 
2) Go shopping for a new wardrobe to more reflect the new person I've become over the past year and reward my weight loss!
 
- This one is going to take some time as my body is still changing. My total 'allowance' if you will, is $300, so far I have spent... -$25 @ Dynamite -$20 @ Walmart -$15 @ Dynamite
 
3) Get a new hair style!
 
4) Go rock climbing!
 
EVIDENCE =
 
 
 
 
 
 
5) Try 25 new exotic foods/meals, something out of my comfort zone that I've never considered before.
 - 1) Crab Cakes 2) Traditional Hummus 3) Couscous Salad 4) Blood Orange 5) A Starbucks Caramel Macchiato (espresso) 6) Bulgogi stir fry (korean) 7) Tandori combo plate (indian) (all new to me) -> samosa/potatoe version, naan bread, butter chicken curry in a coconut sauce and masala potatoes 8) Sushi 9) Physalis 10) Chili (made by me)
 
6) Take the 23andMe Genome test.
(Likely to come to $530 after conversion and taxes. Not including delivery. If delivery cost remains the same, the total should come to about $599. If I can't afford this before the deadline, then refer to #26.)
 
7) Learn to swim.
 
8) Apply for my driver's license.
(I was silly and let my permit lapse years ago, so it's time to try again.)
 
- Been studying for weeks and only found out just last week that you can't just walk in and take the test anymore, you have to actually make an appointment now. So I will be trying to call this week and sort out a book date.
 
9) Read 25 books.
(OR read a book a month. If time doesn't permit all 25, then 1 a month must be read.)
 - 1) Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain 2) When The Emporer Was Divine by Julie Otsuka 3) The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
 
- Falling so behind with this one. I'm in the middle of two books and just can't seem to get myself to finish them.
 
10) Get a professional massage.
 
11) Do community service/volunteering, ideally 25 hours worth.
 
12) Donate blood.
 
- I have a date picked out for when I'm going to go!
 
13) Go to the Montreal Biodome with my Husband. (Website)
 
- Although we will be going again to get more pictures.
 
EVIDENCE =
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
14) Finally sit down and have a real talk with my Father about our difficulties/issues.
 
15) Write a letter to my Mother to release the pain that I've carried around over the years because of our 'relationship'.
 
16) Go on a real date with my Husband. Get somewhat dressed up, go somewhere nice.
(Sadly, we've never done this. No real date or anything. I feel a little pathetic.)
 
- We got all dressed up and went to a nice restaurant for our 7th anniversay but we forgot to take pictures and the evening didn't turn out as we originally hoped, so we're going to try one more time again soon, then I'll count this item as completed.
 
17) Start taking the steps needed to a career as a Personal Trainer and/or a Nutrition and Wellness Specialist.
(As previously mentioned in post Day 20 of 132) (Courses are exspensive, so I really hope I can find a way to afford this, this year!)
 
- In the works, I'll post about the details at a later date, when things are more settled and finalized.
 
18) Play the 'tourist' for a day in Montreal and go visit all of the tourist traps and see what's in/around Montreal.
 
- Had to end the day early and didn't get any pictures, so we're going to go out one more time on the town before I count this item as complete.
 
19) Go through everything I own and purge myself of the things I either don't need or don't want anymore. Donate what is in good shape and could be useful to someone else.
 
20) Run/walk a 5k charity/whatever event.
(If I can't find an event which doesn't interfere with work or such like, then I will just do my own when I have the time to spare. Set up my own starting/finish point and have my Husband time it. I'll map out my run using mapmyrun.com)
 
21) Find a job, preferably in a Fitness club/gym to get my 'foot in the door' for becoming a personal trainer/nutrition and wellness specialist down the line.
 
22) Create and submit a design to Threadless.
(If by some lucky chance that my design ever actually won, it would pay for my cat's surgery that's been put off twice now because we can't afford it. So this one I am going to start working on right away and cross my fingers that people actually like it!)
 
23) Finally learn how to use my sewing machine, since I've owned it for almost 2 years now.
 
24) Learn how to change a tire.
 
- Was supposed to happen during vacation but now because we need to change the tires to put on the winter tires before November 15th, I'll just be doing this item then.
 
25) Learn sign language.
(As a minimum, the alphabet and a few common phrases.)
 
- I have a video in which I am learning the alphabet.
 
26) Cook/bake an exotic meal for a special occassion for my Husband and I. * (Only if I don't do Genome test. #6)

Day 43 to 60 of 70

Day 43 ot 60 of 70
 
Single digits left in my challenge! Hard to believe, feels like it's gone by so fast. Only 7 more days left of actual workout routines. Next friday night is the start of vacation and we already have a few activites planned for that weekend, so I don't see being able to fit in any formal exercises. I'll be trying to knock off a few more things from my '25 Things' list, which has been sorely neglected. (Also, I've slightly tweaked one of the items on my list due to budget issues, but it'll be just as big and just as fun as the original. I'm sure you will all be satisfied with its replacement.) I'm hoping to post more pictures (and video!) to document my list again too, once vacation is over. So, something to look forward to I suppose! :)
 
Hope everyone is doing well! :)

Been a while...

It's been quite a while since I last posted. I still don't feel like posting honestly, not because of the site but because my system is still so out of whack, I don't feel like doing anything.
 
The dosage for my Hypothyroidism medication was changed again about a week or two before our vacation in June and my body has just been thrown for such a loop since. I can't think straight, I haven't been feeling well or sleeping well, I've been dizzy, exhausted and my panic attacks have hit the roof and unfortunately ruined our June vacation plans/activites quite a bit. I'm getting worried that if things don't start calming down soon, they will ruin our September vacation as well.
 
Although on the plus side, no weight gain like last time. Though that's mostly due to my going over board on the exercises to fight back, as generally I wouldn't do 4 a day. But at this point it's about the only thing keeping things in line. I gained 2 pounds after the first week of the dosage change but I've been maintaining a 2-3 pound bumper since, so things could certainly be a heck of a lot worse.
 
Anyway, I just thought I'd check in quickly. I hope all is well with everyone!

June 14th - July 5th 2009

June 25th to July 5th was our vacation time, so I decided to take a break from tracking. Although I did not take a break from my lifestyle of eating, I did however decide not to keep up my usual exercise schedule and let my body have a breather. So, the next post will by my challenge recordings.

June 13th, 2009
 
So for the last several months I have only been wearing 'yoga' pants as my outdoor wear, size Medium. When my regular slacks didn't fit anymore because of the weight loss, I was a bit too cheap to want to buy a regular pair of pants, as I knew they would only be 'transition' pants.
 
Well since our vacation time together is fast approaching in a few weeks, I thought it would be best to buy a pair of jeans. I didn't want to wear yoga pants everywhere we went. So off to Walmart we scurried. I grab 2 size 12's, 4 size 10's and 3 size 8's. I was very much expecting to be a size 10, as logically to me, given the inches of my thighs, I assumed this size would be the most accomodating to their measurements. Being the bold woman that I am, I hesitated as I reached to try the size 12's on first and made a b-line for a pair of the 8's.
 
By george, they fit! Happy dance as I came out of the changing room to show my Husband. I coyly asked, 'What size do you think I am wearing right now?'. Obviously my not so carefully disguised smile was giving me away because my Husband answered an 8. So commenced the giddy jumping and clapping. Unfortunately I was not satisfied with the style of the size 8 pants I had on hand, none of them were flared enough at the bottom. Not enough 'boot cut' if you will and too 'skinny leg' for my liking. So off to find more sizes we went.
 
I grabbed about 4 size 8's and my Husband prompted me to grab one size 6, just to see. Well, again, once in the changing room I made a b-line to try on the size 6 first. Glutton for punishment that I am, except I was wrong. As I was starting to pull the pants up past my knee I gave myself a look in the mirror, 'will these size 6 pants actually fit!?!'
 
Given the title of my post, I don't think I need to tell you the answer. Needless to say, I came out of that changing room bopping up and down and squealing like a mad woman. I got two very quizzical looks from the woman working the changing rooms and another woman sorting her items. So, I briefly explained the situation and was met with a lovely congratulaions from the other customer.
 
I have to say, as I've been on this journey, I have not experienced very many outwardly emotionally milestones but as I was heading back into the changing room to try on one of the other pairs of size 6 pants that awaited me, I got choked up. I felt this overwhelming surge of emotion and held back the urge to burst out into happy tears.
 
Anyways, not to prolong this story much more. I never did end up finding a style in a size 6 at Walmart that I was content with. So we headed over to one of the bigger malls on the island and poked our noses into Old Navy. I did end up finding a pair of size 6 jeans that I was fairly happy with. Though still not 'boot cut' enough to my liking, they were a lot better than any of the previous pairs I had tried on earlier that morning.
 
So there you have it, April 28th 2008, size 15 slacks (tight fitting) to today, June 13th 2009, size 6 jeans.
 
I'm not technically done yet, as I am still trying to lower my body fat percentage a bit more and gain some more muscle and toning. There is always the possibility I could make my way down to a size 4 by the time I am satisfied with my final results. 
 
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far!
