Checking in to see how everyone's Easter went.

I will post all the Monday weights and add measurements tomorrow.

I have had a patient pass away and it's been one heck of a day.

All I know is I gained 2 lbs as of this morning which makes me so unhappy:( and disappointed in myself.

Here's hoping everyone else didn't make the same mistakes I did.

I did mine, I did mine :)

 

You won a gold star for today and get to sit at the head of the class.:D

 

Since I am waiting for my scale to arrive, I decided to take my measurments :( Not good...

 

You will see results when the NEW scale comes, great idea for purchasing a scale. As for the measurements they to will decrease.

 

Off to work...but Vickey please put today's weight at 220. I am not overly excited about only one pound loss but it is a loss! Everyone have a good Monday and I will check back later.

1 lb. is good. Hey think of it as 16 ounces(does the larger number help):D

So sorry... wish there was something I could say to make it better....

 

Here's my Monday weigh-in:

 

Previous weight last weigh in: 135.0

Today's weight: 135.9 (ugh!! Those danishes in Solvang really did me in.)

No measurements since no measuring tape.

 

My husband's not very helpful.... He brought me home a lemon tart - and that sucker was BIG. Instead of getting me a bday cake he bought this gooey delicious pastry. (yes, I'm another year older today. :D) I made my husband eat half the tart since if left in my hands I would inhale it.

 

Other than the tempation of lemon tarts, I did run today for about a 1/2 hour and took a 1/2 walk this morning. I did fairly well with eating healthy but my evenings are always a struggle. I'm in this a day at a time so I'll just keep going.

 

Take care,

Brenda

Hey everybody! Well I've been avoiding the scale all week cause I really feel like I've gained :/ So I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning cause I forgot to do it this morning and I always weigh more at night!

 

Hi Brenda - Happy belated birthday!!! I hope you had a nice relaxing birthday!!! At my work we have lemon tarts and they are delicious but I try my hardest to stay away from them!

 

Marsha - One pound is great. At least its a loss and not a gain!!!

 

Vicky - I could see this week wasn't a good week for you but I know you will bounce back!!!

 

Missou - How exciting I love getting packages in the mail even if I know what it is!!! I also hope you get a good suprise when you get on it!!!

 

We'll talk to everyone tomorrow!!!

 

-Jamie

Well, forgot to post the Monday weigh in, but here is what I am at. 200 still. Gained and lost nothing. I blame it on Easter.

 

Time to get back into the swing of things. Planning a good hour work out tonight at home of Hip Hop Abs and boot camp.

Brenda, if you click on my ticker, you arrive on the website where you can define yours. The one thing that is great about it, is when I update my weight, it is automatically updated everywhere I have posted the ticker.

 

Jammy, do not avoid the scale, don't be afraid of it, it won't bite ;):D

 

Have a nice day every one and stay away from the munchies :cool:

Well I have som exciting news today. After much debate, I have decided to have my right knee replaced (left one done last June). I was able to get in on a cancellation for May 11. The timing is as good as it gets with help at home and other things planned. There is never a good time for my job but we will just have to work things out.

 

I will be almost 3 months post surgery for my cruise so keep your fingers crossed. Last year my doctor told me I needed to lose weight so here I am. Also last year after my surgery I did not have an appetite for about a month so I lost quite a bit of weight (put it back on of course later on).

 

I've got less then 4 weeks to get everything organized but I am so happy to finally know I will be free of the pain. The left knee is doing great. Hopefully I will be off pain meds soon after surgery and no longer have to worry about the long-term effects of them.

I am so glad things worked out for you to be able to have surgery before your cruise and know it will make life easier for you and pain free. My prayers are with you. Keep us posted.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

That was sweet that your DH bought you a tart instead of a big cake....just think of how many calories that would have been:eek:

I also have the evening temptation problem I think it is more habit than anything else. Here's to us both winning our struggle with late evening eating.:)

My day was not a happy one.

Didn't make to the Y due to an early morning patient and then attending the visitation and mass of another dear patient she was 97 years old. I get to attached to my patients that is what happens when you are private duty and are with the same ones for years.

I actually came home around 4:30 pm and took a nap which is something I can't remember the last time I did that. I was mentally exhausted.

 

I am back on track with my eating. And have the Y trainer adding more machines to my strength training this Thursday or Friday. I just hope it doesn't flare my fibro. up.

Hey, 20 pounds is amazing progress!!! (If my math is correct, that is 10% of your body weight that you lost!!!! Yay!)

 

Take care,

Well.... as for my efforts today.

 

The good news; I didn't eat any lemon tarts! :D

The bad news; I didn't get on the treadmill tonight - I was doing my taxes - double ugh!!

 

But... I just ate grilled chicken and a cabbage salad with vinegar and salt & pepper. Yum and not too bad. A Lean Cuisine and an apple for luch and just a small bagel with lite cream cheese for breakfast. Oh, and a Curves bar for a snack. (Those things are like candy!)

 

I wish everyone well tonight.

Take care,

Brenda

I started a career as a cruise consultant a few weeks ago and went to my first office meeting tonight. We had two presentations and I learned a lot. I am doing my e-training these days. It is very instructive!!!

 

It is now time for me to go to sleep if i want my trainig to be effective!!!

 

Good night everyone ;)

I have noticed that gaining around the holidays is pretty much a given. I have a bday party this weekend for a family member and I am going to be trying hard to not eat any junk and go for the healthy stuff (salad). They normally will have hotdogs or hamburgers being a spring bday, but I am going to try my hardest for just something small.

 

I have to say that I am doing well on what I eat. Usually slimfast in the morning. I had some Noodle soup (chicken flavor) yesterday for lunch and had a bigger dinner. No chocolate bunnies for me yesterday, just some pop corn.

I have created a Spread sheet for keeping track of my weight loss. If anyone would like it, I will post send an excel spread sheet to you. Just post here saying you would like it.

 

It keeps track of weigh in day, previous weight, current weight, gain/lost, %gain/lost, goal weight and to go.
