Another bummer post from me. I'm totally swollen tonight and I've been having some migraine headache issues. For about the past week and a half I've spent the better part of the days suffering. I have been taking Frova for them(a special medicine for migraines)and it works for a day but they just keep coming back. I've only been getting 1-2 a month for the past year up until a week and a half ago. I feel so yucky and sick too from them. I jumped back on the caffeine to try and kick them. It's helped. Nothing helps my lack of energy though. I get so fatigued from the medicine and the headaches too.

So this is my post for the week.

Food

One thing that is helping me is the produce co-op I joined. Bountiful baskets helps me get more fruits and veggies in my diet. It's such a bargain too. Having the stock of fresh foods is helpful to get my butt in gear and cook it and feed my family better too!

Except for that baked potato soup I made. I won't share that recipe. It was so yummy and I didn't eat a lot.

On another note, I had a huge pms/woe is me day and I raided the halloween candy stash and got on the scale and was at my lowest weight. I'm sure it hadn't caught up to me yet. If not...maybe I'll eat more candy! LOL!

Discouraged!!!

I don't feel the support from this group. I can't even get my questions answered. I find myself wondering why I joined the group now. Why did I? Because I wanted the motivation to have the body I want. I realize I don't have a lot of weight to lose so the chances of me winning an overall prize are slim, but I thought I'd have a good shot at a monthly prize.

I just heard of a story in a competition where a woman wore ankle weights under her clothes and drank a ton of water at the initial weigh in so she would look like she lost more weight. I thought that was just disgusting!!! If someone is in this for the money they are missing the point in many of us being in the competition. I was hoping that by entering with a fee I would feel like "I paid for this" and that would be an extra motivator and in the end I'd still win a better looking me!!

It's a big competition and when I go to others blogs I try and comment, but I just don't have time to read everyone's blogs. I was hoping the board would help, but it's not getting a lot of activity either. So I'm a little down about how things are going. I just thought I'd have more friends in it with me. Am I the only one feeling this way? Do we need to try to comment and help each other more? I feel like I need to with others, so maybe starting things myself will help.

Maybe losing more than I thought?

I was down 4 1/2 lbs when I weighed in yesterday? Hopefully it will stay off!!

Sick

Can't I even get a little bit of purging weight loss from the stomach flu? Haha!! Just kidding. Still at a steady 3 lbs lost, which is actually 8 lbs for me over the past 7 weeks but only 3 lbs since the competition started.

I'm off the soda!!!!

2009-09-22T10:31:00.000-07:00

Okay so it's only been 3 days and I'm doing great so far!!!

I will admit to drinking crystal light with caffeine in it when I need it. You add the mix to water and I'm using half the amount they recommend in my water.

Hey, I've cut calories!!! Next just need to wean from the caffeine!!! If my baby wouldn't be up all night teething and my 2 yr old wouldn't puke all night I might be able to manage a day without any caffeine!!!

GO ME!!!

Progress?

Hhmmmm, I really am working on lifestyle changes this month and not worrying so much about weight loss. I hope to kick the soda addiction soon! It's still in the house so I'm weaning off the caffeine addiction. I'm having a protien breakfast which curbs the hunger.

Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled
snack: chips & salsa
lunch: taco salad
dinner: TBA

ounces of water: 8 oz so far, not enough
soda: 1/2 a can of pepsi

I recently lost 5 lbs of the weight I wanted to lose. I was at 130 lbs about 3 weeks ago. How? By not being on vacation and eating like a pig. I feel like my portion control is decent in day to day life. My problems are exercising and drinking water. I drink empty calories in the form of a Dr Pepper addiction. While I feel like my weight isn't super high for my build, I feel like all I have is fat and skin hanging from my bones and no muscle. I'm a softy.

My main goals are cutting out soda (or cutting drastically down) and exercising at least 3 times a week. My goal is to be a healthier me.

Weigh in Today

2009-09-01T09:47:00.001-07:00

125.4 lbs

My goal is 110. I'm short so it's not unrealistic for my height/build. Hoping to get Emily and Cheryl to sign up and do this with me!!!

Come on ladies! Let's be sexy for the holidays!!!
