Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

Good morning everyone,

I'm not quite sure but the last few days I've been feeling a bit low...maybe it's the clasic (TOM) blues and of course...I keep dwelling on how far I have left to go. I'm sure I'll pull out of this mood but I thought I would mention it here because I've been feeling this was for a few days now.

I hurt my back two nights ago in bed (I'm in a lot of pain)...don't know how I did it because I was sleeping but woke up suddenly in agony when it happened....and of course because of the pain I haven't been able to exercise in two days (that is really on the back of my mind too). I'm going to attempt to get on my glider tonight when I get home from work...I can't afford another day of not exercising.

I hope all of you have a wonderful low carb day, thank you for listening.

Sarina

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

Sarina, you are doing great...& you have lots to be proud of 115 lbs to be exact...I know this moring I was looking at my ticker thinking geesh I have 70 more lbs to lose, but then quickly told myself you know I didnt put this weight on overnight (it took me 32 yrs to get to this weight) & I cant take it off overnight, nor would I want to ... I want it to come off & stay off (this is a complete lifestyle change)

Think how much better you feel now at 287 vs 400 lbs!!! (your half way there)

I know its hard when we cant evercize (Ive been there) but know that as long as your eating right you will STILL lose weight even if your not exercizing!

I hope some of this helps!

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

*Yawn* Good morning... I bombed yesterday, slight malfunction with communications with my spouse who used the last of the money I had set aside to go grocery shopping yesterday and there was nothing, I mean NOTHING but carb stuff in the house, and instantly my weight loss is gone again and back up, plus 2 additional on top of it... my body is so messed up.
(part of it is I don't think I got enough water in yesterday too)

Going to the store in a little bit now that I'm up, once I get back everything that is bad is going in the trash so when he sees that we're low on food, it means seriously low on food.

sigh... back at it though... just frustrated that one day could make my weight do that.

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

It's mostly waterweight Geogirl! Eat iright and it should come right back off!

Sarina, good luck with your glider tonight. Does aspirin help?

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

thanks for the encouragement chickalady, I'm back from the grocery store, fridge is loaded to boot.

Question if anyone knows the answer, book says we're only supposed to have 3 ounces of cheese, but cheddar has net zero carbs, does the 3 oz rule still apply?

also found that hot dogs (which I crave) have sugar added through processing... so I found kosher franks, gonna give them a try.

Last but not least: what's the thought on pepperoni? safe or no?

[Chicklady]

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

The cheese doesn't really have zero per ounce....it's the new math But I believe the 3 ounce rule was because 1)cheese stalls many people and 2) he wanted us to get most of our carbs from veggies.

Pepperoni....read the ingredients.....make sure that sugar, if any, is towards the end of the list and only used for curing. margharetti (sp?) is a good brand, as is boar's head. Eat with something high in vitamin C (like pepper strips); supposed to keep the nitrates from turning into nitrosamines.

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

ya know, I've often wondered if it's that cheese can stall you, or it's the fact that cheese can glom you up and if you don't get enough fiber to get it out, you're weighing extra from more in the colon. who knows.

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

LOL. Yeah, that could be it

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

Hey Sarina, do you have a chiropractor or someone who can help get you adjusted so your muscles can relax a bit instead of flaming up trying to protect?

If you exercise tonight please make sure to do extra stretches before and after. (Besides, stretching always always feels awesome). take care of yourself tonight!

Re: 10/21 tuesday roll call

Hi jammiemarie, Chick & geogirl,

Thank you for your support today, I was really feeling down. It gets a little overwhelming when I stop and take a look at the big picture and see how much further I have to go...that's why for me, I just try to take it day by day and week by week. I think I'm feeling down and out because it's my TOM, I have 4 lbs of I HOPE is water gain as of this evening (291)...it happened throughout the day so I don't think that can actually be weight gain....good grief I hope not!!!

Chick, I took your suggest regarding the Asprin and had my husband drop some Advil by my office late this afternoon. I took a couple and then when I arrived home after work I layed down for about an hour...man alive is my back ever better! Thank you for the suggestion...I just didn't think about it.

I jumped on my glider tonight and did just over an hour. I am pleased about that.

I think I'll wake up earlier in the morning and try to fit some weights in. I'm bogging down on the weights a bit so I've got to get more time in with them again.

Off to do some situps on the stability ball and then I'm done for the night.

Thanks again everyone

Sarina
