OK everything has been hetic. Still have a sick child (what is up with that)!! So if anyone has home remedies for colds or ear infections for a 15 month old, please please please help me. I can't stand to see her sick.
Now for me, I have had back pain for awhile now. Being I have MS I just try to ignore any pains. Well I finally gave into the nagging of my family and the pain and went to the DR. Had to have a MRI. I expected to hear that either my MS has gone into my spine OR I pulled a muscle. Well he threw a monkey wrench into that theory. I have a bulging disc on my spinal nerve. Needless to say, I am now on a muscle relaxer, anit-inflammatory, and a pain pill. I HATE taken medicine. Plus, Friday I have to go have an epidural of steriods put directly into that disc. He said eventually it will have to be taken out but due to my age he says that is many many years down the road and when all other options are exhausted.
Thus, I am sucking at my losing weight. Actually when I weighed this morning I have gained. I haven't been able to exercise in awhile and it is driving me crazy. I was doing really good even with Harlie being sick and now, well I just down right suck.
So if anyone has any advice for me on the kid thing or this back thing that is totally new to me, please help. I am getting pretty bummed out.
It has been a rough couple of weeks. My 1 year old has been sick for a while now. She has had a double ear infection, colds, and teething. I has been a little rough. Thank goodness she is up and running around today and is not cranky. YEAH!! I hate her feeling bad and I can't do anything to make her feel better.
Thanks for all the posts. I hope I am getting back to normal. Needless to say, doing any kind of dieting or working out has not been even in my thoughts. But today is a new day and the new beginning. Everyone at work that is doing the weightloss contest has fell completely off the wagon too. I hope that tomorrow I can encourage them to get back on with me. I know with all of your help and theirs that I can overcome my obstacle and accomplish what I have set out to do.
When I see this beautiful little blessing I have looking up at me, I know that I can get into shape and be able to run and play with her.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week and God Bless
It seems that since I won the contest at work that I have fell slap off the wagon and and hit every rock there was on the road. But now it's time to get back on. I have to do it for me and my yellow team. I haven't even excersied since that day. I plan on starting back tonight. I just hate taking any more time away from my toddler to excersie but I know it will benefit her too. Maybe some day I will actually be able to run like many of you talk about on your blogs. That will be another goal of mine. Tomorrow is another day and I thank God that we have each day and each other.
I lost another pounds AND I won the weight loss competition we had at work. I won $200. That really helps motivate people. I hope I can just keep up the work. It gets really hard excersing all the time.
Well I weighed in today and I weigh 257. From a starting weight of 280 on April 28. I guess that is good. At least I am starting to feel better. I need to get myself back on track. I was riding the bike for 7 miles every other day (on the next to easiest level) and wearing a sauna suit doing that. I actually thought I would have lost more doing that. Thanks to one of my new friends, I am going to try drinking protein shakes for my meals and eating protein bars. This should really help me being that I don't like much meat and I need to cut back on the carbs (the only thing I do eat). I hope everyone else are doing good. Take care and God Bless.
OK, I ate alot in WV. They absolutely spoil me when I am there. I weighed today and I haven't lost anymore but I didn't gain either. I started back exercising today. Boy was that a challenge. The Alpha Folic acid must be working some. They actually make me feel better. I was told that I look great so I hope people can tell that I am losing weight.
I weighed today, I am down again. I have lost a total of 12 pounds now. It feels good. I have alot to go but this helps motivate even more. I have started taking Alpha Lipoic Acid. 600 mg. It helps with antioxidents and all kinds of stuff but it helps fight the bulge around the middle. Be careful with your sugar levels if you start to take this. It can cause them to drop so you have to eat.
I can't believe I am down 10 pounds finally. I have til the end of the month before I go to WV for graduation. I want to look good. They haven't seen me since I was pregnant. I hope to be down 10 more pounds. I am excersing as much as possible. All I am doing is walking around the yard outside pulling my baby in the wagon and then I do the bike for 15-20 minutes and then 50 situps. My stomach isn't getting in flatter. I guess I need to increase the situps but I do good to get 50 done. Hope I make it through this weekend without a breakdown and eat everything in site.
Ok, I have been on Phen for two and a half weeks. I have lost 7 pounds. That pretty good I hope. I thought I would have lost more since I have been working out more than I ever have in my life. Still not eating enough. I think I am going to try slim fast. If anyone knows of a good excersie tape or workout please let me know. Maybe I need to change what I am doing.
Ok, I realize that I will not remember to take my phentermine on the weekends. By the time I remebered it was too late in the morning to take them. I also have decided that I definitely need to do weight watchers or something to help me lose weight. I forget to eat. I did crave some cookies today. I was very proud of myself, I only ate two. I also haven't done the first real excercise this weekend. Tomorrow is another day and I'll be on track.
