Doomed
I wonder if I am doomed to be fat. Every time I start trying to lose I stick with it for a little while and lose the ability to focus. Psychiatric drugs are not helping either.

2 More Pounds
Hurray I lost two more pounds. I guess there is something to be said for working and sweating and being too tired to snack and eat. Still havent refilled the phentermine. Still havent quit drinking soda. I am going to try and remember to take a water bottle with me to work tomorrow. I tried to drink less soda today than I usually do.

Coke curse
I have managed to lose a pound or so since the last post. I was afraid to get on the scale this morning. I figured that I had gained weight. I drink coke way too much at work. I am drinking about 3 medium cokes a day. So if I can still lose imagine what I could do if I wasnt drinking all that coke. I was taking a water jug with me and I have gotten out of that so I end up drinking coke and maybe getting one bottle of water at work. I need to refill phentermine but I havent had the money.

YEAH
I am so happy. I have still managed to lose a few pounds this week even though I am out of the Phentermine. I guess it just helps lots being out of the house and working. I would have lost more but I have eaten a breakfast bisquit at work a few times this past week and have been drinking too many sodas at work because I have gotten out of the habit of taking my water bottle with me to work. Also I have had poptarts a few days this week which I really shouldnt do. I bought them for a treat for the kids though and I ate some myself. :( So if I can lose without doing the right things, imagine what I could do if I was doing the right things. I never would have known that working at McDonalds could be such hard work. I work the grill though and some days it is just non stop. My feet are paying the price. My shirts are already looser and my pants so that is a great incentive. I plan to get more phentermine when I get paid on Friday.
I am enjoying working even though it is way early and I am tired and my feet hurt. I think it is good for me to get out of the house and doing something. Not sure how long I can keep doing it because of kids, etc but if I can keep it up long enough to get some bills paid off and have some pocket change it will be good. Besides it is a good weightloss tool.

Still Losing
I am still losing weight. Not really doing anything else except for taking the Phentermine and working. I think I would lose even more if I would quit drinking sodas. Too easy to drink lots of sodas at work since we get unlimited sodas. I have to refill my phentermine even though I cannot really afford it. I think it helps with energy too and since I am still trying to get use to working afer 15 years I need all the help I can get. My Dr was going to give me a B12 shot but for some reason my spleen is enlarged so she wont give me the shot till after that is checked out. I have a CT scan today to check that. Yeah so that makes me fast half the day anyways since my test isnt until 1.

Cure for eating
Between taking phentermine and starting a job I am losing weight again. My husband broke his shoulder and after being out of work he got laid off so I started putting in job applications after not working for 13+ years. I got a job at McDonalds and after cooking breakfast from 4 am - 11 am I really dont enjoy food. I usually eat a bagel at 3:30 am and then after work I come home and go to sleep for a few hours but I do not feel like eating even after that. I have done better with eating today though. I had a bisquit at work. Not a great choice but it tasted good and I know that I am burning lots of calories there. I take a 2 ltr bottle of water to work and pretty much drink the whole thing. I did that so I would not drink unlimited cokes. I usually get a small coke after I am getting all the food ready at 5 am. Working again really shows how out of shape I am . My feet and back have been killing me since I have been working. Some time I come home crying it hurts so bad. I got shoes today for work so maybe that wil help. I had been wearing shoes with no support. My back already feels better today just not my feet. I am so looking forward to Friday when I have the day off.

A Long Time Since Halloween
I just decided to get back on here and my blog was a halloween page. That automatically told me that it has been too long since I have been on here.
I just started back on Phentermine about a week or so ago. I am really not sure why I stopped taking it the last time. I had lost 14 pounds and was doing well I thought. Not sure if it was affecting my moods or I just got bored or what. Soooo I am back on it and doing well with it, I think. I was at the doctor twice within a week and I had lost 8 pounds. I have been sick since then so I imagine that I have lost more. The battery is dead in my scale so I cant weigh. I think that is a good thing because before I was compulsive about checking it. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday so get a pair of black pants to start a new job and I could fit into a size smaller. The pants that I got at Catherines are getting a little loose.
I think what sparked me this time is crisis mode. My husband got injured on Dec 2nd (freaky accident, he was tackled by my brother in law. Broke his shoulder and got 5 stitches in his head) anyways, he has been out of work every since. He is in physical therapy now and probably wont back to work for several more weeks. He actually got laid off from his job while he was out injured because work got slow so he will be hunting a new job. So I got nervouse and went out putting job applications in. I have been a stay at home mom for 14 years other than a brief stint helping my husband run a lawnmower shop and helping him run his own business. I applied to McDonalds and Wal Mart. I was actually nervous people would be predjudice against me for being over weight and wouldn't hire me. Maybe think I wouldn't be able to do the work. Wal-Mart hired me on the spot for a remodeling crew and that day I got the call from McDonalds that I got that job also. So the lady at McDOnalds was really nice and said that she will cut my hours back at McDs while I am doing the temp job at Wal Mart so I can do both.
So all of this really made me realize that I have got to be in better shape. I have got to be able to step up and help support my family without having problems with health d/t weight.
I am sure that McDs can be a bad place to work while trying to lose weight. My biggest issue will be with drinking sodas. But fortunately they have coke and I cant drink too much of that because it makes my stomach sick. But I am one to stress drink and drink sodas for energy. And they give you all the drinks you want there. I havent been drinking much soda at all over the last week or so anyways. I went to Sonic yesterday mornign after my orientation at McD's and got a med coke and only drank half of it. I usually drink a route 44. Ugh. I would guess just being out of the house and moving around will help with weight loss. Working at Wal-Mart definately will. It is hard work on those crews. I am self conscious because at McDs you have to tuck your shirt in and I am really stressing over that one. Wal Mart doesnt make you do that. At least the first week or so I will be working grill so you have an apron on over your clothes.
Okay this was a rambling blog. I will post a new weight after I go to the Dr the end of this week or whenever I get a battery. Which ever comes first. As of Tuesday I was the same weight I was when I quit blogging. But I had gained most of the weight I lost back before so I have actually lost weight. Yeah I know that only makes sense in my head.

Another Day
I didn't record tonights dinner. I cant imagine that I went over my 1700 calories though. I didn't eat lunch and I had beef stew and rice for dinner that would be hard to figure out the calories I think. I was only up to 600 though when I ate dinner because I skipped lunch. So..another successful day. I felt kind of blucky again though. Not sure if it was from skipping lunch or the phen or what. My stomach just hurt and I was tired. Mabe caffeine withdrawel. I had one pepsi this morning but I would say on average I was drinking anywhere from 32 oz and up each day. Sometimes more. So now I am down to 12oz and less. I thought phen is supposed to give you energy though. I guess if I slept every now and again I would feel better too. I tried to take a nap this afternoon before my son got home from school but the kids were noisy and the phone kept ringing.
Tomorrow I have a Drs appt and will visit with my sis for awhile.

Monday morning
I had a BAD breakfast. I guess I could just say that I had my lunch calories for breakfast. I ate more for breakfast than I have been eating for breakfast and lunch. I ate an odd breakfast anyways. I had leftover chicken potpie. Yummy. I will eat salad and water for lunch. Or maybe I will skip lunch all together.
The scale is showing a few extra pounds this morning from Saturday. Still down 11 pounds. So I hope that it is just water weight or my scale was off on Saturday or something.I do feel kind of bloated and it is almost TOM. I know it can fluctuate and you shouldn't weigh every day but I haven't conquered that one yet.
Until Later.................................

I didn't blow it
It is Sunday evening and I think that I can safely say that I did not blow it this weekend. I think weekends are always a true test of a diet. Everyone is home and the munchies come etc. I guess next weekend may be tougher since it is pay day next Friday and we generally go out to eat and all but I have refrained from fastfood ALL week which is amazing for us. I really cannot think of a week that we have not eaten at least a 99cent burger. I LOVE McDonalds breakfast too and I haven't gone there either.
I had my usual breakfast. Bagel and V-8 juice and then went to church. I drank 32 oz of water on the way to church. I got home and was really tired so I laid down while my husband grilled burgers for lunch. They came in to tell me lunch was done and I said I would be out in a little while. When I got up my husband had eaten my burger. Dummy. He said he thought I was going to sleep though lunch. So, I didn't eat any lunch. I was a little aggravated at him but it just means that I can eat more homemade chicken pot pie that's almost done in the oven. I doubt I will be able to eat as much as I use to.
