I'm Back

Okay, okay, okay....so I've been really bad about blogging lately.  I just haven't had much to write about.  I started limiting my food intake and excerising again yesterday.  So I'm back on board.  I didn't gain any weight, which is good.  But it's because of the braces I just got, and not being able to eat much of anything.  I've been feeling really sick and tired lately...I think it's because I'm not working out as much.  I cut the bottom of my foot pretty bad, so it hurts to even walk, not to mention run.  I've still been able to ride my bike at night without the pedal touching that spot thats healing. 

I've been pretty much eatting anything soft the past two weeks.   Which includes: beans, rice, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, bananas, cream of wheat, pasta, soups, chilli, and yes ice cream!  I ate my first hard thing yesterday "a slice of pizza"..  It was soooo good!!!  I cut it up into little tiny pieces and was able to finish the whole slice.  My braces probably had more pizza around them then my stomach got, but it was still really good.  I have to brush my teeth and floss, right after I eat.  The process of cleaning my teeth takes about 15 mins.  So after I brush I don't want to eat again because I don't want to go through all the work of cleaning them afterward.  This is probably why I haven't gain any weight .

I still want to lose 5 more pounds.  I don't think I'm going to look much different with 5 pounds, but it's just knowing I'm 125 instead of 130. 

My husband and I have been talking about kids lately.  We are probably going to start trying next year for our first.  I'm very scared of how my body will look after I have kids.  I just hope I can keep things under control. 

Wish everyone the best weekend.

In pain

On Wedesday afternoon, I got my braces on.  I've never had braces before so my teeth aren't perfert, but aren't bad either.  There is just a little crowding in the bottom front and the upper front teeth that buggs me.  I went to a orthodontic examination two weeks ago and was told it would be quick and easy to make everything straight.  Today is my second day in braces and I hate them!!!!  This is horrible...it feels like my faces has been hit with a base ball bat.  My lips/checks are tender and bleeding from getting caught on the metal brakets.  My teeth feel like they have a pulse.  Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!  

I'm not eatting right now.  I've been living off oatmeal and broth.  It hurts to much to close my mouth.  I can't chew anything right now.  If my teeth come into contact, it sends a sharp pain right up my face. 

So I'm not on program right now, (and not in the bad way).  I can't get all my points in.  I'm eatting about 500 cal or less right now.  I can't bear to eat anymore.  I can't eat my fruits are veggies because I just can't chew them right now. 

I was in too much pain to go to weight watchers this week but I am losing weight.  I've lost two more pounds today, but don't think it really counts because I'm not eatting.  Once I start eatting again it's going to come back on.  Arrrrrrrrrr.  I'm not too sure if this is worth it????

 -I heard it take a week to two weeks for the pain to go away.  - At least I only have to wear them for 4-5 months!!!

Thanks for reading and thanks for caring.

Puzzled...

I been weighing myself every morning right before I take a shower and get ready.  Yesterday I was down a pound and today I'm down another pound...???  I'm really not doing anything to lose weight.  To be honest I've been eatting lots of food and haven't been working out as much as I normally do.  I know I have to start eatting better and workiing out more because it's gotta catch up with me soon. 

Oh, I purchased my halloween costume today.  My husband is going to be a doctor and I'm going to be a nurse.  Not very original, but oh well.  I couldn't talk him in to doing anything different.  I'm going to hold off on buying any halloween candy to the last minute.  I know myself too well, if I get it now they will be gone before halloween.  I've tried to get the ones I don't like but the problem is, I like everything....(sigh). 

Off to a different subjuct, someone in my office just said the phase "he wants to have his cake and eat it too".   I never really understood that phase.  If you have a cake what else would you do with it besides eat it?  I mean, why not eat it?   I just don't understand.

Till next time

Back on board!!

It's been crazy lately.  This whole diet thing really got to me this weekend.  I felt like stopping everything, I thought there was just no point.   I was really sad and depressed and thinking I couldn't do anything right,  (which is why I haven't blogged in a while).  I wasn't too sure what was going on.  Well...(sigh).. this morning I woke up with T.O.M.  So I think that pretty much explains a lot of it. Hahaha

I always get major PMS and I'm always hurgrey no matter how much I eat, right before I'm going to get it.  I'm still the same weight which is kinda weird.  I almost thought the scale was broken.  It's been saying the exact same thing for 4 day stright.  What are the odds of that?  Oh well, I can't complain too much now.  Staying the same weight while on my period is an accomplishment to me!!!

Wish everyone a good week!!!!!

Losing weight is expensive!!!

Yes, I did go to Weight Watcher today.   I really didn't want to go becasue of my horrible-off-diet week.  But your right  aukela, if I avoid the scale any longer I'll be 5-10 lbs heavier before I realize it. 

Anyways...... okay so I did gain weight and I lost my motivation.  So I was thinking this morning about what motivates me to lose weight,....and I got it!  I seem to be very motivated before I go on vacation.  (my poor husband!!) It may be an expensive way to lose weight but hey, I'll have fun doing it, plus I get a nice reward at the end. 

Next trip Cabo San Lucas November 2nd, just booked it.....hahaha....I'm motivated again!!!!!!

I can do this!!

urrrrrrrr...............I wasn't very good yesterday.  Well, to tell the truth I was HORRIBLE!!!  It so hard to get motivated again once you get off program for a while.    I realized yesterday while eatting my 0 point salad and a 2 point sandwich that this food taste like s**t.   After eatting at so many good places in Vegas, it's REALLY hard going back to plain grilled chicken and veggies for dinner.  

I'm still going to the gym everyday, I don't think I can ever stop that.  I'm addicted...LOL  Even in Vegas I had to use the hotel gym. 

Goals for today-

1. Drink lots of water

2. JOURNAL!!!-if I bite it, I write it!!

3. Read week one of WW again

I'm back!!

Crazy weekend!!!   Crazy, crazy, crazy weekend!!!!   And that's all I can say because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I did win some money there...only $91, but a least I didn't lose any. 

I've been off program for four days now, so I'm very scared to weigh myself.  I'm thinking of waiting until WI on Thursday.  I just don't want to get discourged.  I'm back on program today!!!  My goal for the week will just be to STAY THE SAME!!  I'm not planning on losing any weight but I'm going to make sure I don't gain any. 

Also, I put A NEW PICTURE up!!!  I was trying to put some more but it wouldn't let me.  I was able to put one and now it's not allowing  me put anymore on.  It's making me mad...   I want to show everyone the Veges pictures.  Oh well, I'll try playing with it some more.   Let me know if anyone has any advice.

Cheers <<<Here's to getting back up after you fall!!>>

There goes some more!!

Okay so I weighed in this morning at WW and I was 132.5.

Last week at WI I was 135.5,  so I had a three pound loss this week. 

I did want to be 130 by the time I leave to Vegas, (which I leave tonight)!!!!    But I am very proud of what I've accomplished.  I started WW on 8/24/06 and weighed 142.  Now only 3 weeks later I'm 132.5.   That's great!!!

I was hoping to get that star on my bookmark but I was .5 lbs away.  It's okay...I'll get it next week!!

I can't wait to see the 120's on the scale again.  That's going to be a tear worthy moment.  I haven't been in the 120's for over a year and a half now.

There is so much to look forward too!!!!

Well everyone, my trunk is pack and I'm ready to leave to Vegas right after work.  I got my nails done and my hair done so I'm looking like a million bucks...  LOL

Hope I come back lighter around the waist but heavier in the pockets...   (Oh, who am I kidding.  It will probably be the other way around) lol

Nina

hmmm?

I weighed myself this morning, just to see if I was on track for tomorrow's WI, and OMG....I saw 132.0!!!

I'm not going to enter it because today is not the day that counts.  I hope tomorrow morning's Weight-In @ WW is just as good. 

(I'm due for another star on my bookmark!!)

Wish me luck!!
