I have no clue.....

as to what happened to me yesterday.  For some reason I just felt like I could eat the entire house. I didn't really but I did magage to snack all day long.  However it was not on junk food.  I had this ravenous hunger.  Plus I feel like the Titanic taking on all this water.  I feel so bloated.  If this is the pre-arrival TOM affects, then I am in trouble, make a note to go and get pamprin today!

However, usually I take Saturday and Sundays as my rest from exercise, but when I woke up this morning, I was so stiff, and bloated feeling that I decided to get up and  do about 20 - 25 min worth of yoga, and now I am fixing to try to get in 2 miles on the treadmill. Hopefully I feel more energized & less like a bag of poo.

I plan on not doing too much after that, just a little house work and just relax the rest of the day.  I am however going to see if I can seek out some info on how to lessen the effects of PMS without having to take another pill!

Also starting tomorrow I plan on starting to use the food log on here.  Hopefully if I have to type in / write down what I eat then I will be less likely to eat/snack. I should have been doing this all along, but I guess you live and learn.

Well, I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. 

Lots of love,

TGIF!!!

I am so happy that the weekend is finally here!  The weeks that are short due to holidays always seem to go by so much slower that the 5 day work week!  Not much will be going on here this weekend.  We have a tropical storm that is going to give us a lot of rain, and wind *hopefully no damage*. So I think I am gong to clean house and whatch some movies.  I really need a weekend like that.

I weighed in today!  Earlier in the week I said the scales were mad a me, I still think that they are still.  I lost only a little over a pound this week which put me a 238.4.  I have really worked my butt off too.  However TOM is on the way so I am sure that has something to do with it.  But atleast I did not gain, and I did lose some, so I am still good.  I really thought the way things were looking I was going to be up.

I do have some good news.  I tried on a pair of 18's this morning and I got them on and buttoned.  However they were still a little too snug for comfort, but hey they were on, zipped & buttoned.  An 18!!! It's been years since I have been in an 18.  So I have gone from a size 26 and I have officially lost 70 pounds since my highest.  I can't believe it.  I am still surprised.  I am now starting to see a little flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.  It's about time too!

Anyways, I need to get off here and get somethings done, just incase the storm gets too bad.  I hope all of you have a great weekend!!

Lots of love,

My scales are mad with me.....

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are doing great.  Like the title of the blog says, I think my scales are mad at  me. For some reason I am up on my weight this week.  I have gained  about a pound and a half.  I am still exercising every morning and still eating great.  I haven't changed anything.  I am surely hoping that this is the signs of TOM lurking somewhere near.  I guess  I am going to take my work outs up a notch, ugh.  I am already up at 5:30 in the mornings now.  Maybe I should add something to the evening after dinner.  I do have a mini trampoline that I could try out in the house.  I think I might try that starting tomorrow, just a few min. a night.

Anyways, things are going good this week.  I am so glad that it's a short one.  Looks like we might be getting some much needed rain from the hurricaine this weekend though.  Work is still blah.  However my co-workers come back from the cruise to the Bahamas, which if I didn't mention, I avoided.  It seems as though the over dramatic worry wart that I work with mad quite the donkeys behind out of herself, (loads of drama) and now no one wants to have anything to do with her.  From what I hear she really embarrassed our boss, his wife, and  her own self.  

Well, any how, I hope you guys are having a great week.  I guess I need to cut it off for now, I have loads to do, and not enough time to do it in.  I will try to post again on Friday, and definitley catch up on the blogs this weekend.

Lots of love,

Kami

I am back!!!

Hey there everyone!  Happy Labor Day!!!  I am back from my mini break, and it was great, though not long enough!!!  I go back to work tomorrow, uggh.  I hope everyone has had a great weekend, and stayed on goal.  I managed to gain about 1 pound over the weekend, but not from eating bad or anything, I just think it was water weight and not being able to work out, because after my work out this morning it was gone, whew!!!  It's funny before I started losing weight, I could eat 3 cheese burgers and it not make a difference, I guess because I was already fat, but now I can look at a cupcake and I feel like I have gained 3 pounds, or not work out a day and feel heavy.  What is that?

Anyways, just wanted to pop in and let you know we are back and post a quick blog.  I have loads to do, but I will try to catch up on some of your blogs tonight.

Lots of love,

Weekly weigh in!!!!!

Hey there everyone,

I know that I said I was leaving for the beach on Thursday, but man I was so tired, so my blog will be short, because I am trying to head out this morning.  I just wanted to report my weekly weigh in, and I am super duper excited, I lost a whopping 4 pounds this week!!!  But I have exercised my butt off too!!  I have finally made it to the 230's.  OMG I can't believe it.  I am just barey in the 230's, but I am there, 239.8 is good for me!

Anyways, I love all of my EP friends - I can't tell you enough what this site and you all have done for me.  I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend, and be safe!!!

Lots of love,

Kami

SO FRUSTRATED....

I tell you, today has been one of those days where you really just want to explode, or walk out, or something.  Guys, if my work gets much worse than the overly dramatic rant that my co-worker had today, I am liable to pop her one, or just walk out and quit.  Neither one would be a good thing, but I am telling you this girl just doesn't quit.  It's the same one that I blogged about a week or so ago.  I could not imagine if my life was that over ran with drama and chaois all the time.  I can't begin to tell you guys all that happened, luckily for her it had nothing to do with me or our work.  However not everyone wants to hear about every detail about all the wreckage ones life contains - what part of "we are at work" do people not understand?

I am so job hunting, but there is not really anything out there.  If I can just hang on til October when the new jobs at the hospital come open.

Anyways, I hope you all are doing well.  I am doing fine with everything.  Luckily this week is a short week.  The Doctor I work for is taking everyone on a cruise to the Bahamas this weekend,  however I passed, for the fear of throwing some of my co-workers overboard!  My hubby, son, and I our heading back down to the beach for some peace!!!!

Take care all, and thanks for letting me vent. You guys are the greatest friends I have never met!!!!!!!! LOL

Lots of love,

Weekly weigh in!!

YEAH ME!!!!!!! As you can see, the weekly weigh in went well.  I really needed it to after the week I have had.  So what does this good week mean for me....

well I am down another 3.2 pounds this week, so since my heaviest I am down 64.2 from 308, and I am down 54.2 since starting back May 9th,from 298.

It really feels good, but still kind of unreal.  I am getting so close to being out of the 200's.  I keeping thinking, is this really happening, and I keep thinking why oh why did I not do this sooner.  What is it in our minds that just snaps, and says " I am tired of being overweight, and I am going to do something about it"?  What is that chemical reaction, and why can't we have more of it in our lives for everything else we have troubles with?

Anyway, I am babbling, and I have to get ready for work!  I hope all of you out there have a terrific day and weekend.

Lots of love,

Kami   

A thousand times....

thank you!!! I can't say it enough.  You guys are the greatest, and I so appreciate your support from my last blog.  Just knowing that you guys are there to lend a kind word, makes a world of difference.  I just don't know what to say.

The last 2 days have been okay at work, "she" is still not working, but "I" am no longer listening or paying attention to her.  I am doing my job, and going home, and not letting it get to me.
 

Tomorrow is my weekly weigh in, and if I do say so, I have done really well this week.  I have gotten on my treadmill and walked at least a mile everyday this week along with doing either yoga, or some type of aerobics.  But this morning I was so worn down, I just did about 20 min. of yoga.  I skipped the treadmill, I think I am entitled!!! I will be back on it before the weigh in tomorrow, and I will make up for it maybe Saturday.  Usually I take Sat. and Sun. off to rest, but I HAVE TO MAKE IT UP!!! 

I have loads to do this weekend. My boy starts the 4th grade on Monday, so we have a lot of cleaning and organizing to do so that everything will be in order.  I can't complain, I really think we have a great teacher this year.  (Please Lord, let us have a good teacher).

Bad news to report on the hubby, he has quit the gym because of the cost, apparently he finally figured that money doesn't grow on trees!  However he has stopped everything even eating better...I really hate it, but I think I will give him some breathing room, he is a little stressed lately, and hope that he snaps back into a routine.  I told him, he doesn't have to go to the gym to get fit or lose weight, I am a prime example, but what can I say "he's a man"!

Well guys, I better get off of here, I really want to hit the sack early tonight, not exaclty been sleeping the best in the world lately. 

I will check in tomorrow, and give that weekly weight update!! Keep your fingers crossed.

I hope you all have had a great week, and thank you again to all my EP friends that left me comments about my work!!  You guys are the best!

Love you all!
