OMG!!!! UNDER 200lbs

Ok..So I walked into WI and was thinking while I was in line about how much I probably gained. Well guess what...I am under 200 lbs. I am 198lbs. I freaked out. Last week I stood at the scale and was crying because I was so sick of the plateau I was at. The leader started laughing and said you must have had salad for thanksgiving. Well I found out that I was one of the few that lost this week at my meeting. I feel bad for the ones who gained, but I am SO happy. I got another 5lb lost star...So I have 8lbs to go by christmas. I hope I can do it.

Help with my page

I have looked all through this site and I still dont see where I can change my background on my page. So...if someone reads this and they know...can you help me out? Thanks

Yoga class rocked last night. I am starting to feel so much better

Another 5K

I ran another 5K on thanksgiving morning. I was so excited. I finished the race 8 minutes faster than the last one. I also felt awesome and not so guilty eating all the yummy food. I made a healthy dinner for thanksgiving. My sister made a comment, I guess I know why you lose weight eating this food. She loves food high in fat and more flavorful. (she is skinny too)

I went shopping on Friday and I am officially in a size 14 and some clothes a 12. I am so excited. I am sick again and I wanted to go to the gym because I am motivated by this....but not until I am better.

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Out of control

So I am wondering what is going on with myself. I went to the gym 3 days in a row and insisted that I needed to take off on Sunday. Well I woke up this morning and the gym has caught up with me. My arms are so sore that they stay flexed. My friends were laughing at me telling me that I needed to shut down the GUN SHOW...lol. Christine has gotten a membership to my gym so now we will be going together. I am excited because I will know what I have to go if someone is meeting me there. Last night I went to Carinos and got a canoli. I shared one and brought the other one home. It was SO good. I hope the gym pays off. I want to be under 200lbs.

I met up with one of the guys from work on Sat and he did not even recognize me because I was out of uniform. He freaked because he did not realize that I actually had a body beneath the vest, belt and uniform. I wore heels and I carried myself high I was loving the confidence that this weight loss has given to me.

Loving the gym

Yesterday, my friend that I run with at the park decided we wanted to go to the gym. She went with me as a guest. This girl slacks when we run at the park and yesterday she was out of control. It was the most fun I have had at the gym in a long time. We were doing cross country on the elliptical for 30 minutes then we got onto the tredmill and ran a mile in 10 minutes. This has not happened in such a long time. We then did situps while throwing a medicine ball back and forth. I left there and went to weigh in. I felt like it was our last chance workout like on the Biggest Loser. But I lost .6 instead of their typical 5 lbs. I went home and made chicken fried rice. I got the recipie off of WW.com It was so good. I also went grovery shopping because I had nothing to eat in the house. I did not want to have the possibility of gaining by eating out.

My mom had surgery on her foot and I decided since I have lost the weight I was going to make a HEALTHY thanksgiving dinner. I am not sure if my family even understands those words but they are going to have to deal with it. On thanksgiving I will be running another 5K I guess this will make me feel better about eating so much turkey.

So my goal for this week is to lose one pound.

long time

I know it has been a long time since I blogged. I have been busy. I have learned to occupy my time so that I am not hungry or wanting to eat. I have a hard time watching tv and going on the computer without wanting to eat something or drink a beer. I have been strict lately. I lost 1.6 this week so I am almost to my mini goal of 200. I will get a facial and a massage when I get there. Not to mention my new clothes my mother is buying for me.

My friend is on a dr managed diet and she lost 10.6 lbs this week! I dont think I could do it because it is so strict. If i could get the willpower I would do it. She is taking medication to help her. I am thinking about starting my own medication to see how it will work for me.

Follow up

So I went to the Dr Yesterday. I have a cyst bigger than a baseball. He changed my medications and said it should shrink. I go back in 4 weeks. If it is still that big they have to go in and take it out. He said that I need to go normal activites (yeah!!!) and to call him if I am in pain. What a relief. No signs of cancer!

I ran on Monday and I am going again today before I go to my weigh in. I gain 08lbs over the past 2 weeks. I have to buckle down! I have 5lbs to go to my first goal of 200lbs. I have been stuck there for 4 weeks now. When I weighed at the Dr it said I gained 4lbs this week! I hope this is not true and that the scale was messed up.

Thanks for all of the comments, you all picked me up the last couple of days.

No running

So I went to the dr on Monday and she wanted me to go to have an ultrasound. Well I got back the results yesterday and I have a cyst on my ovary that is 5 times the size of the ovary. Ok a cyst I can deal with but that big? I have an issue with this. I spoke with my Dr and she told me that she would recheck it in 6 weeks. UMMM NO..it would be nice to be sent to a specialist. She told me that she was" alittle concerned because it is dense." Ok if you are concerned are you going to have a 26 year old that does not have children wait 6 weeks? I know that I am healthy and at first my only concern was having children when it is time. Now my sister freaked out because I did not even think about cancer or anything because I am healthy and I have the mindset that I would beat it if this is what god plan was for me.

So I called the specialist and I have and appt on tues. Not too bad, the nurse I spoke with was so nice. But she told me that I could not run because of the size of the cyst and if I was going to be "difficult" like other patients I needed to break it down to 1 mile instead of 2. I told her I could deal with this.

I have WI tonight. I am going running after I get off work. I think it might rain so if this is the case I am going to have to go to the gym. I get so unmotivated at the gym but if I go to the park and run on the trail I have motivation. weird I drank a ton of water yesterday and the day before so I hope I have not retained water weight. I heard coffee and espresso help with this so I drank 1 cup of coffee this morning.

I hope everyone is well

Race for the cure

So on Saturday I ran my first 5K. I finished in 45 min. Not too bad for my first 5K and still having extrapounds on me. When I finished the race, I have never had such an incrediable feeling. I did something for myself but most important, I did something for survivors and those trying to beat breast cancer. I also did this for those who were not able to beat this horrible illness.
I am up in weight by.2 lbs this week. I think I ran it off...haha

So the Dr called me and no kidney infection. She does not know what is wrong by wants me to get an ultrasound to figure it out. I am supposed to drink 48 oz of water one hour before I go. This is going to be tough. I already have a difficult time drinking that throughout the day. I was also given orders by my parents and promised I would stop running until I was able to figure out what was wrong with me. I understand their concerm.

I hope everyone is well.

No running for me today

So I offically am sick with a kidney infection. Last night my back was killing me and today per the Dr it is official. I am flippin miserable. I have to wear my uniform today and my belt is right where it hurts. I wanted to call in sick but it takes alot for me to do this. I am going home today and crawling back into my bed. My only excitement today is I made my lunch. I made a turkey sandwich with mustard, strawberries and carmel S/F pudding. I have to drink water like a crazy women. UGH>>>I want to go home. Hope everyone is doing better than I am.
