It's been really busy for me for the last couple of weeks but I have been able to keep it all together between work and family.
My son graduated two weeks ago and everyone was in town which meant a lot of cooking and eating. My weight has been up and down like crazy.
My forst week on Phen, I lost 8 pounds which was great with no exercise. Now I've been on Phen since June 1st and haven't lost any weight. The scale hasn't moved but my clothes do feel differernt and I like that. I've been working crazy hours midnight to 7am, 4pm to midnight, and 8-4pm and on weekends. So my eating has been a little crazy but I'm not overeating at all.
I think that I'm not eating enough and that's why my weight hasn't changed. I also have noticed and on my first week of Phen I didnt want to eat but i made sure that i did. Now it seems that I always feel hungry on the Phen. I go see the doctor on Wednesay for my checkup and to see what he says.
So until then, I thank everyone for their support and know that my support is with you too.
Well, this is day 2 on Phentermine. Yesturday I felt tired not sleepy but my body felt tired. I didn't feel and side effects yet and I hope that I don't.
I watched what I ate yesturday and with my very busy job I tried to eat something every 3 hours. The strange thing was that at times I felt hungry but I think it was in my mind because when I day ate something I realized that I wasn'treally hungry but I ate because I know that the body needs to function correctly.
I drunk plenty of water. So much that I was going to the bathroom too much. I have never had a problem drinking water but I just increased the amounty that I drink on the average.
I started taking a multivitamin and the only thing that I have to do is quit smoking, The funny thing is that when I took my first Phen pill yesturday, I really didn't have the urge to smoke which was a good thing.
I at work sitting here eating my oatmeal and I can't finish it becuase I feel stuff and there is still half the bowl left. Is that the way Phen make anyone feel.
I heard about all the side effects but so far I have none. That's a good thing. I don't want to toot my horn yet because it's still early but i slept like a baby last night. I feel refreshed.
All I need to do is add exercise. Does anyone have any suggestion on a good workout DVD.
Today was my visit to the doctors office to get my Phentermine. He gave me the 37.5 dosage. He told me about all the sife effects but when I asked him about the B-12 shot he said that it wasn't necessary. I have read where most people who take Phentermine take he B-12 shots. So I bought me the B-12 in the pill form. I don't know if I will get the same effects as the shots but we will see.
As I got on the scale, I weighed 227. I home scale says 220, but I was on a digital one at the office and mine is not so I will just subtract 7 pounds everytime I get on my scale at home.
I tired today because I got off work late. This is my swing shift this week which means I work 4pm to midnight and I don't go to sleep right away when I get home.
I'm going to start my first day of meds tomorrow and I can't wait.
Today, was another busy day. Well actually the whole weekend was very busy. I ended up working Monday for 13.5 hours, so my eating was all over the place. I worked the midnight shift and ended having to work overtime and didn't get off until 1:30 p. I was tired with little food but I did have my instant oatmeal (weight control) to get me by.
When I got home I didn't want to go to sleep right away even though I was tired because I didn't want to be up half the night.
I'm on the swing shift this week (4-midnight) and it does change the way I eat. I end up eating less because I'm so busy I forget to eat. If I don't eat before I go to work I won't. To me that's a good thing even though I know it's not.
Thursday, I go to the doctor's for my Phentermine. I can't wait but at the same time I'm a little nervous too. I can't wait to see if I will be successful on the medication. I have to start to exercise more which I can't wait. My back problems have gotten so much better in these last two years, I hardly have pain anymore but I don't want to over do it.
So until my next post, everyone take care and stay strong.
Today, I woke up this morning and decided to make a change in my life...my weight. I said to myself this is the biggest I have ever been in my life. I never weighed this much when I was pregnant both times.
I get tired of feeling tired when I walk up a flight of stairs. I hurt my back 2 years ago in a car accident and it's taken this long for it to heal. I was able to exercise like I wanted to because it made it hurt and I didn't watch what I ate which didn't help.
I want more energy and I want to be able to go shopping again and have fun doing that.
I know that I set a goal weight and time which may be impossible but that's what I'm shooting for before the new year.
