Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

well, shoot girl...but you got right back on track and you'll be burning up the Curves circuit tomorow

Catherine

I plan on burning it up tomorrow!! I will burn it up tomorrow.

I am counting on you getting and staying on track, little sister! All this started when you had just a few illegal foods at Christmas. The only way to get past it is to stay on track. Been there, done that! The love handles challenge is looming on the horizon

!

You have a good memory woman! LOL. I promise to get back on track tonight...as we speak!

How did I ever do this without the support of friends who really know what I am going through? I can't do this without Y'aLL!!

Wow! Thank you so much Jersey for the invite. Thank you for sending me the message.

I just wanted to come and say hello. I need to go back and read the thread so I know what I am getting myself into.

As for this WOE...*sigh*...I am thinking about joining Curves. This is deffinately an every day fight for me. I hope it will become second nature. I know I feel so much better when I am carb free. Just the energy alone!! Ok that was the quick update of what has been happening with me.

Welcome to our little family. Curves is great! I love it!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Sorry To Hear About Your Mom. I Hope She Is Going To Be Ok. Good For You Though For Staying On Track. My Thoughts Are With You.
Mary (from Lexington)

Thank you Mary and welcome!!

Also, welcome createme.

I'm sorry to keep this short but I'm so tired. Thank ALL of you for your support. My Mom's x-ray showed no new fracture (praise God).

I did Leslie Sansone Express (Brisk Walk) 2 miles (30 minute workout).

Marty, I'm not calling you ancient. LOL!! I was talking about Kass's report on feeling ancient (I'm older than her). As for camping, I'm the scarey one in the group. One wrong sound and it would be over. LOL!! I'm the one who would never let anyone go to sleep after a scarey movie until I went to sleep.

Sunny, thanks for checking on the shot for me. I knew that doctor was lying. I'm about to be DONE with medical doctors and find a naturopathist. The best treatment I've received has been from myself (researching and finding natural alternatives). Docs only care about getting your money...not actually helping you. Plus, I have whack insurance. Why do I even pay for it?

Sherri, I'm still waiting on the pic of my friend. When will I get to see you (when we get to the Oprah show)? LOL!! Just kidding.

Kass, don't beat yourself up. Just water up and move forward. I know it's easier said than done. I want to stomp the crap out of my scale who is determined to betray me every time I step on it. Maybe I should threaten it. Yep, I'm going in here before I go to bed and tell it what's going to happen to it if it doesn't start working in my favor.

Catherine, I don't trust first opinions either. Ok, let's keep it real...I don't trust most docs opinions. I ususally self-diagnose myself and then treat myself (when docs don't listen). Make sure that what they tell you that you RESEARCH it. This way you will know what the best options are for you, not what the doc says. If I had listened to my doc I would have had the steroid shot in my foot (that he said was only localized). LIAR, LIAR!! The orthotics seem to be working great.

Hey Tracey, Bekka, Glenda, Liz, & Sweets.

If I forgot someone, I apologize. I better have buns of steel after this. My gluteus maximus (sp?) is hurting off the chain.

Goodnight!!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Good morning Derby girls! I feel really good this morning, so I guess that means I am well enough to clean house! I am tempted to exercise, but guess I won't. I will wait until Monday, like Nurse Julie said to do.



Welcome createme! Hope you plan to stay. We are not too scary, but we are a bunch of nuts. We keep the seriousness of this lifestyle a lot of fun. If you have kids, you have to share! Most of us have medical problems that interfere, but we just keep on keeping on. We can have excuses or results, but we can't have both.

Cat--glad your mom doesn't have any new fractures. How did your 'talk' with the scale go??? I'm not speaking to mine right now.



Catch with the rest of you later! Havce a great Saturday!

Sunny!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

LOL, you make me laugh Sunny!
I needed that this morning. I'm so happy you are feeling good this a.m. Yeah!
Welcome newcomers Glad to see you both here.
I'm going to clean my house and do laundry today. I'll get my workout done aswell.
The scale isn't moving, that's to be expected with my thyroid levels still low. I have an appt. with lab on tuesday. I'm going to give both to my doctor. He really irritated me at my last visit. It wasn't determined that my thyroid was low the day I seen him last and he asked me what was going on with the weight gain like I would know. I told him I was doing everything I had always done with my woe, Atkins. He turned around and told me" You can eat anything on Atkins" I really had to hold back and gather my things and leave. I whispered,"You really should check yourself for Altheimers (sp). Like he forgot where I had been successful with my weightloss in the first place, Jerk! Later they called me to up my synthroid because my thyroid was low. It's still not right. I havn't had my TOM since November, a clear sign of low thyroid for me. So we'll see if he has something stupid to say to me this time. I'll be ready for him this time. I know he'll be annoyed with me because I didn't tell him that I stopped the Lipitor because of serious side effects, That's another story, very serious one at that. Maybe another time, I'll go over that one. I stopped the Lipitor and put myself on Red Yeast Rice and Co-Q10. I'll see how well I did with that on Tuesday. I'll keep you informed,
I love you all, my Derby Sisters!

I think the talk worked. I am down from 206.4 to 204.8. It's a loss and I'll take it.

I'm on a mission to find a naturopathist. That stupid Endocrinologist told me my symptoms were not attributed to my thyroid but to Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia (told me to have my TP do a work-up on both). This new TP won't increase the Synthroid or give me the Armour to try. All he wanted to do was ask me how I was sleeping and told me my fatigue had to be caused by somethng other than my thyroid because my labs were ok. I found an article last night that just proves the Endo (and possibly my new TP) is a quack. I think I will mail it to him and my TP.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Thanks Cat for the info. I'm definately going to address the T-3 issue with my doctor and possibly ask for a referral depending on his response and attitude regarding this. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 15 years ago and have been treated with the synthroid that addresses the T-4. I'm going to get more aggresive with the treatment of my thyroid this year, It wasn't until resently (last two years) he's had to up my meds. I'm wondering if he's even testing my T-3 levels. I'm definately going to ask on Tuesday and take it from there. Thanks again sweetie!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Hey everyone!

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I've just been busy with running around all over the place and all. Well, it doesn't feel like it yet, but I broke up with the boyfriend today. Ya, I'm crying a little here and there, but it's not that bad, I'm happy to be free of lies and actually to be free to do what I please without being judged. I might be emotionally distraught for a day or two cause I haven't been single in ages, so lol. At least I have my pillow. But I know I don't need a guy to make me happy. I can make myself happy. =P

Doing good with the wol, and I think I like an inch on my calfs. I know I lost half an inch in both my feet cause my shoes fit looser. lol. I know, I'm so weird. =)

Anyway, that's all I have to say, you guys keep on rocking!!

Wow! Last I heard, the new scale had you at 207! 204.8 is fantastic! I think your body (and maybe mind) fights you when you are getting ready to go down into long-forgotten territory, especially from the 200's into the 100's. You ARE going to make it very soon and we will all PARTY!

Sunny!
