Whew!
I did it! I lost 2.2 last week, making my 2 week loss .4 lbs. Not bad considering my TOM may have finally started. May have - as in, I've been horribly irregular for the past 6 weeks and I'm ready to scream.
Yesterday I was cranky because I dreaded my weigh in. I didn't want to see the scale, I wanted a HUGE loss to counteract the gain from last week. I'm still frusterated that I stayed within my daily points and didn't dip into party points for the 2nd week in a row and I gained. The only time I ever used party points was week 2 and even then I didn't use many (I think it was 6 for the week). Frusterating!
In addition, I was the bottomless pit yesterday. NOTHING filled me up and I drank so much water that I was surprised that I wasn't floating by the end of the day. In addition my eyes are so very dry and I'm tired of putting in drops all the time. Who knew Lasik would be such a pain in the ass?
Bitch, Bitch, Bitch. Oh well.
The good news is that I think my wonderful and amazing friend Margene, who is also my chiropractor, helped get my TOM started once and for all. She's got the magic touch - working a point on the inside of the ankle two fingers up from the ankle bone. It works for starting TOM as well as relieving horrible cramps. She worked on me yesterday and I'm continuing to do it today with hopes that maybe I'll get regulated again. I tell you - hormones out of whack suck!
Tonight I'm going to stay with a friend who lost her husband to cancer last month. Her live in housekeeper has decided to stay elsewhere this week, leaving CarolAnn alone and very sad - not to mention frusterated that her agreement with this woman is not being met. CA mentioned this yesterday at Margene's office so I offered to come spend tonight and even tomorrow with her if she needed it. That's what friends do for each other, right?
I'm off to lunch today with my girls in the office. They are such a good support for me, having done weight watchers in the past they cheer me on every step of the way. Here's to a grilled chicken breast and a big salad - my favorite lunch!
Happy Thursday everyone.
