Before After

feeling better

after spending the ENTIRE weekend in BED with a migraine, I am feeling much better today. I worked out this morning and it made me feel SOOOOO GOOD! I am still up about 2-3 lbs. and I know most is either water or 'waste' LOL but my goal is to be either at or BELOW 160 by the end of the month. I am ready to get back into this full force!! thanks to all that have been checking up on me! :) Sheila

FINALLY

got to work out for the first time in just over 2 WEEKS last night! Between school vacation, illness (mine and my son's), cancelled school due to the flooding we had, and my dh going to his gym at night, I haven't been able to work out and I was feeling SO guilty! It felt REALLY good to finally get back last night. I'm still dealing with being...well...backed up LOL so haven't done my weigh/measure. I'm trying to get rid of all this crap!! Sheila

I'm back!

sorry I went MIA for a while--I was just getting discouraged for a bit, playing around with the same couple of pounds. On Monday 5-22 it will be 2 weeks since I started eating >20 carbs a day. I needed a change to get me going again. I had gone back to 170, but I know part at least was water and I have been having problems being 'backed up' lately as well LOL but I am finally back down to 165 in less than 2 weeks doing this program. I might do it for another week and then switch to 20 > 40 carbs a day which would be phase 2. I haven't been able to work out for almost 2 weeks! because of school vacation, two MORE school days off on top of that due to all the flooding we had recently, and I have been having a really hard time with my fibromyalgia lately. I AM going to get back on track with that though starting Monday. My husband bought me a great book by Curves and it is really helpful--that is where I got the idea to do what I am doing now. I hope to be here more often--with more pounds LOST! Sheila

checking in

wow I haven't been on in a while. NOTHING new is happening here and it is pretty discouraging. I am still playing with the same few pounds and haven't lost anymore and I am SO frustrated! Granted, I didn't get to work out for almost 2 weeks with school vacation and then having a major fibromyalgia flare-up but I went back today finally. Hopefully I will lose something SOON!

and I know

that I am losing inches and needing new clothes which is wonderful, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand why the damn scale is being so stubborn!!!!!

SEE THIS TOWEL??!!

Who wants to catch it when I THROW IT IN??? I am NOT in a good mood today. I have CRAMPS that would kill a horse and I am freaking FED UP with what I have been seeing on the scale. It is NOT FAIR. IT IS NOT RIGHT. Is even ONE SINGLE POUND a week really SOOOOO much to ask for?? I can't even do that. I have been at this since the beginning of January and yet I am STILL SEEING THE SAME NUMBERS on the scale. My dh has been slowly, but STEADILY LOSING weight. He started just a little before me and is down well OVER THIRTY POUNDS. Like TWICE what I am. I know I can't totally compare it because yes he is a little over 100 lbs. more than me, but still. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??!! There I said it. I am about to say FUCK IT and go back to eating steak & cheese subs slathered in mayo and a huge plate of fries. And a King Size Snickers for breakfast. And maybe lunch too. Just eating WHATEVER FUCK I WANT. Seriously--WHY is this happening (or NOT happening really!!) to me??? I know everyone hits a plateau but come on now...I am working out, eating healthy, drinking lots of water, have tried several different supplements like Lean Fire (which my dh still takes and is apparently working for him), Trim Spa, and now Accelis. Do I need to plan a strict 1200 calorie a day diet and not eat a single morsel more? or am I not eating enough? THIS JUST SUCKS and I am totally fed up and DISGUSTED. Thank you if you have made it to the end of this post and I apologize for my HORRIBLE mood. I just don't know what else to do :(

I'm losing my pants!

The size 18 jeans I just bought around 2 weeks ago are literally HANGING off me! I haven't really lost any more pounds lately but definitely inches! I need to go belt shopping! I can't put my keys or my cell phone in my pocket because it literally pulls my pants down even FURTHER and I am just waiting for them to end up around my ankles :) Sheila

Accelis

I am trying ONE last product called Accelis. It is supposed to REALLY work and you take it before bed and it works while you sleep. I took it for the first time last night, and I was actually DOWN .4 today so I don't know if it was a coincidence or if this stuff really works. I'll keep you updated! If I am down again tomorrow, then there might be hope for this! Sheila

yesterday was ROUGH!

but today I feel MUCH better! I don't want to gross anyone out with TMI, but I was feeling SO HORRIBLY HUGE and bloated on Wed. and found out why--I was literally full of $hit!! I felt so bad and was up a little over 3 pounds so there was NO way I was going to go in for my FIRST weigh/measurements! I took a laxative and throughout the day and night I swear I was in the bathroom at LEAST 10 times. I could not believe the amount of crap that came out of me--no wonder I felt so awful! But it worked--today I was back down to 167 and not feeling 'fat' anymore LOL The miracles of medicine :) So I worked out today and figured I'd do my workout before I got weighed/measured so I could burn even more and maybe even weigh a teeny bit less LOL Well, I went up to Brenda after I worked out and told her it was my day and she said I have to do it BEFORE I work out! After you work out your rmuscles are all revved up and the inches will be off. I was so bummed! But that's ok, I'll go back tomorrow and get it done BEFORE I work out! Sheila

feeling REALLY YUCKY today

I feel F-A-T today! I am only up to 170 again and I know it is all water, but I feel horrible. I have bad gas (sorry TMI) and just feel HUGE and today was supposed to be my first weigh/measure day. I'll probably go tomorrow but I hope I can get rid of this feeling by then. If not, then I might have to change my time of the month to get weighed/measured because right now, it will say I didn't lose ANYTHING, or maybe ONE pound and I know I have lost 3-4 since I started Curves a month ago. Man I HATE this fluctuating! Sheila
