What a great weekend, I got some well deserved rest and relaxation that was a long time coming. I did OK over the weekend with the diet, weekends are my down fall but I did OK. I am ready to get back to the gym, I really miss it having missed last week. I think that working out makes me eat even better. When I work out I want to eat things that are better for me and even crave them, working out and eating a healty diet, for me go hand in hand. Besides, who wants to go to the gym adn work your butt off just to turn around and ruin all the hard work be eating something loaded with calories.
This week my husband is out of town and my biggest challenge is cooking dinner. I really need to make myself cook dinner, a healty dinner for me and the kids every night so I dont cheat or eat somthing for convenience. That is usually the case when he is not home because I am the one picking them up, cooking dinner, doing the dishes, homework, baths, bedtime and everything in between. It exhausts me!! I am drained and I end up getting stressed and cranky. Hopefull working out this week and pre planning my dinners will help me during the evening. I am also thinking a glass of wine before dinner might help, as well. We schall see!!
The bad new is that I did not loose any weight this week but the Good News is that I didn't gain any weight this week.
I stayed the same and given this weeks stressfull circumstances, I will take it!
I am ready to get back on track now more than ever. It is hard to believe that October is here this weekend adn the beginning of the holiday season. with all the great food, is fast approaching....stress!!
I am going to commit to making my 3 trips to the gym everyweek with no excuses. If I can not go on my regular Mon/Wed/Fri then I must make sure I go another day. I love to go to my gym, I just need to make it a habit. They say you have to do something for 30 days in a row before it really becomes a habit, so that is my new commitment. Going to the Gym, 3 Days a week for the month of October. Making it a habit before the holidays arrive should make a difference in the choices I make and the eating that is normally done during those times. Wish me luck!!
TGIF
Lets hope that this weekend is NOTHING like last weekend!!
Well, it has been a very stressful week and even though in the beginning I had no interest in eating because I was too worried about the cat, but then once he was listed as ok, I really induldged in some comfort food. I am really an emotional eater. I have begun to get back on track and I am able to begin to refocus on my weight loss. I havent been able to hit the gym this week because most of my free time was sprent at the vet clinic or at home wiht Oreo and then since I did miss some work...ihave also of catch up to do. I am hoping to get some exercise in this weekend, especially if it is nice out. I am really nervous about weighing in tomorrow but I have to do what I have to do....until then...
We had some good news yesterday, Oreo came through his suregery and is responding well to treatment, so he is OK to come home. I brought him home this morning and he was very happy to be home. He still has alot of recovery to do, but he will be back to his ole self in a few weeks time. He is a Very, Very, Very lucky cat, it really could have been much worse. We are greatlful that he is healing and back home with us. Thank you for all of your thoughts, well wishes and prayers, we really appreciate it. Especaily to those of you who took the time to comment on my blog, just to wish him well. That really means alot.
I was off to a great start into the weekend, went with a friend to get her tattoo, had mine touched up. We went to lunch, hung out had a great time. Saturday was a lazy day so we decided to watch movine at home that night and then it HAPPENED......
One of our cats, Oreo, was hit by a car Saturday night, jsut was we were getting ready to take my oldest son to bed. We found Oreo on our doorstep, he was able to make it up our driveway, from the road, to the front door and that is where
we found him, in pain, breathing with difficulty and bloody. I rushed him to the emergency care clinic and they listed him in critical condition. Once they evaluated him, the doctors were able to
confirm he was hit by a car. It was a rough go of it Saturday night but it is looking like he will survive.
He has multiple fractures to his face and lacerations on his lips', as well as, bumps and bruises all over the rest of his body and is in alot
of pain. They are keeping him sedated and on fluids until he is able to eat on his own. As of Monday, he had no interest in eating.
The upside is that, remarkably, Oreo, so far is not showing any signs of internal bleeding, broken bones or organ damage, which is great news.
This morning he is out of the ICU and Oxygen kennel. He will be reevaluated by the clinics internal medicine specialist and more than likely have some sort of surgery to repair his palate and fractures to his face and have more testing done to be sure there are not any internal injuries. When I saw him this morning he was happy to see me, recognized me and immediately started purring. He is not completely out of the woods but he is gradually recovering, so please take a minute to say a quick prayer for him. He is the family pet and a huge part of our lives.
So, I have not been focused on the weight loss since the accident. I have been a wreck, so I havent really been eating too much. Depending on what happens with his evaluation today, I am going to try to get to the gym, even though I really dont feel up to it. I did manage to pack a healty lunch this morning but was not up to eating breakfast before stopping into see him at the clinic. I ended up getting a breakfast sandwich at McDonalds, which pisses me off, because I didnt need to!!! It hate that fast food is sooo convenient!! Anyway, I hope that the sandwich and the slip wont make a huge impact on my long term goal........
I hope to stay as focused as I possibly can while all of this is happening. I wont be assured until he is home wiht me, which could be a week or so.
My first day back on track adn things went well. I had a great workout and only ate 1300 calories. Today I am still ontrack but I am very tired. My allergies kept me up all night with sinus pressure, runny nose & sneezing. I finally broke down adn took some Advil for the sinus pain but then I couldnt get back to sleep. I am still feeling the pain and symptoms today, good thing it is not a work out day. I weighed myslef this morning and the news is good. I logged it on my tracker. I have decided not to weigh my self every day adn stick to a once a week weigh in. Fridays will be my weigh in day. The weekends make it hard to stay on track for me with the BBQ's, drinking and running around, so I think Fridays are a better bet for weigh in than, Mondays!!
I am ready to get back on track. I lost 45lbs on Phentermine from 6/05 to 11/05 but had to quick because it was making me depressed adn anxious. Imagine that, depressed while I was losing weight. Crazy, I know.
I have gone back to my doctor and explained the feelings of depression and modd swings that I was having with Phen. I asked if he could recommend an all natural anti-depressant that would work the Phen. I did not want to take a prescription anti- depressant, so he recomended the all natural over the counter anti-depressant call Amoryin. I researched Amoryin and decided to order it. I am hoping this will help.
I am ready to get started with watching what I eat and sticking to a regular exercise routine. I joined a gym called Figures-a less expensive spin off of Curves. I love working out there. I have my meals planned and menus full of lots of good for you foods. So I am ready to go.
but the Good News is that I didn't gain any weight this week
