Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Evening everyone, i confess ive been really naughty i didnt mean to. I went out with my family for a meal and was such a saint. just had a portion of fried chicken (this is chicken dipped in oil nothing on it at all) and a small portion of salad. didnt fill me up one tiny bit so when i got home just ate whatever i could find, some walnuts, some dried broad beans (which are very high in carbs :cries and some orange. Its not the end of the world but im racked with guilt now i didnt even need them, i could have survived tonight without eating anything else but i didnt. i caved and had a binge ok rant over!! someone kick me up my behind to wake me up!

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

the weekend's finally here!!!!! i'm so ready for a couple days off!! it's been a rough week @ work, but i feel great & am extremely proud of myself for almost making it through induction. only 2 days left; still contemplating whether to do a week of extended induction or move to OWL. the more i think about it, the more i'm leaning toward OWL. it's not that i'm getting bored with the induction foods, but if today is any indication, i'm ready to move on, because i was 1 or 2 carbs over 20 today. not that i cheated or anything, just overestimated my veggies. i think i'm trying so hard to make sure that i get them in that i misjudged a tiny lil bit.

i took my measurements about 3 days into the diet(slipped my mind to do it before i started)and just did them again, and in 10 days i've lost 6.5" total already. it was really obvious to me today. i bought a couple pairs of shorts(size 12), about 2 weeks before i decided to go back on plan, as i didn't have any to wear to work and it was starting to get really hot in the plant. well today, the pair i wore were so loose on me i thought i'd lose them at any time. kept havin' to stop and pull them up all day. when i got home today, i went to change clothes, and realized i could pull them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them at all. looks like it's time to dig out the size 10s and see what i can wear.

well this post was rather long, but just felt like sharing. hope everyone is doing well. i'll be back on tomorrow to check in with everyone. until then, happy low-carbing & have a cheat free saturday.

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Happy Saturday!

Laura and Sham~~ Great job on the weight loss! I am afraid to weigh in but will after tom when I don't feel so blah . Keep up the good work! It's motivating. (ok, I'm a bit jealous lol)

Focus~ Don't be so hard on yourself about slipping up. It happens. Just pick yourself up and move on..you can do it! I know it is frustrating. If you just keep going, it will be ok. Been through that myself. Today is a new day!

Moniegail~Nice to hear from you. Sorry your week was long but yay for weekends! Grats on your loss too! That sounds like a big change. I think one of the factors of OWL might be how much weight you have left to lose. It does sound like you might be good to move on. The first rung is increasing your induction veggies and it doesn't sound like that would be hard for you to do. You can always go back to extended induction if you find you aren't losing in OWL.

Norah and everyone else~Hope is going well. I wish all buddies have a great weekend! Do something nice for yourselves.

I'm off to try to workout .

Hugs, Jane

Re: Hey Buddies!!!

Good Morning Buddies

I'm sorry for the long delay in posting. Last Monday when I wrote to you, well that was the last day I was healthy and doing well! Tuesday morning I woke up sicker than a dog and had no clue what was ailing me? About 21/2hrs into my shift at work, I asked if I could please go home as I couldn't stop coughing, my asthma was flared up, and I was fighting fevers as well. Tuesday night it was worse, so I went to the walk-in clinic and found out that apparently when I went to visit my Aunt in the hospital, I picked up a secondary staff infection! I would have never guessed I would get this sick from going to a hospital! My dh says it's because I used a bathroom there?! Geesh..

I ended up with two bottles of prescriptions. I have to take 8 pills at once out of the one bottle once a day and 1 - 3 times a day out of the other one. The Dr. said within 2 days I should be feeling alot better. Ummm.. that's where he was wrong! I was home sick on my day off on Wednesday, Thursday I couldn't go into work, Friday I was feeling a tad better, so I did go in however I struggled my whole shift! Saturday I tried to go in, I made it into my work and saw my boss.. she said ummm I don't think so.. I could barely breathe as my asthma was soooooo bad and my cough.. sweating from feelings of fever, etc.. I left my work and went to the hospital here and was there for 5 hours! They gave me three bouts of the mask with my asthma medicine in it and still wanted to give me more.. I said thanks but no thanks. OMG.. that stuff makes you shake so bad and I was feeling sick to my stomach. I told the Dr. if you give me anymore, I'm likely to vibrate right off my chair! He gave me some morphine to help with the pain and Tylenol, and told me if I need more help not to hesitate in going back to the hospital. Well Sunday I was no better, so again couldn't go into work. ~heavy sighs~ My boss if great though.. she doesn't want me back till I'm healthy as she is afraid I'll relapse and be worse. I am still having troubles today.. so I think I have to go back to the hospital. At least today was a scheduled day off for me. But now I need a Dr's note for my work.

When I was at the hospital on Saturday, they did take Xrays, as the Dr was worried that I had pneumonia. He said the xrays were ok. So I don't know what's happening, but I'm tired of all the coughing, hearing my asthma sound this bad, fighting for air to breathe, the pain in my chest - collar bone area - and around the back of my neck and upper back!

My poor Aunt, she feels so bad that I got sick from going to see her. I told her that it's not her fault. Who knew I was going to get sick from going into a frickin hospital? My Aunt however the last I heard, is doing pretty good back at home and had most of her 57 staples taken out I do believe. She has some appointments to go to, so they can monitor the after effects of the surgery on her heart I guess? My Mom is suppose to be returning back home tomorrow I do believe. So I think life will be returning to normal somewhat soon for them.

The past week of being sick, has lead to some bad choices in regards to foods. Dh was trying to help (god bless him and his thoughtfulness). He was the one who picked up my prescriptions, so he knew before I did, that I was going to have to take 8 + 1 pills all at once.. I don't do pills so well and that's putting it mildly. So dh bought me some triple chocolate ice cream to bury the pills in. LOL Well I have to say it worked! He also bought me white bread, as the one antibiotic I'm suppose to have it with.. ummm NOT! I never touched it. But the rest of the week has found me having a couple of mocha's, sharing in 2 oat fudge bars, McDonald's one night and a couple of alcohol beverages. I know.. I suck. This has just been a very bad week for me all the way around. I know it will get better at some point. I honestly can't wait until I feel like me again!!

I did weight myself yesterday.. even after all that crap I had I managed to lose 1lb. I bought a skipping rope and hula hoop a couple of days a go, so when I feel better I'll start using them and see how that goes.

Sorry for blabbing on and on.. just wanted my buddies to know why I have not been here. I've missed you all.

Welcome to all our new buddies.

Moni - I'm so happy for you and for the terrific results you're having! Way to go!!

Sham- Congrats on reaching your goal!! Awesome!!

Focus - I'm happy to hear that you had a great time with your family, and enjoyed alot of yummy foods. Way to go on the 2lbs lighter.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and that the week ahead only brings you good things!

Sassy
