Bleh

Feeling icky today, Made a trip to the city yesterday in the rain... well lets see first tried to work in the rain. Gave that up went to the city to do some shopping. We ate at A&W in the mall.... well... lets say we don't wanna do that again soon. A burger and fries with a root beer and my guts are just nasty today! I mean nasty... Guess healthy choices pay off better.. we really would have liked chili from Timmies but know damn well the line would have been an hour deep at the time we got to the city. *sighs* Other than that we haven't eaten out much. Been eating good home cooked stuff, even if it is a deli meat wrap that I whip up. Still better for us than that restaurant crap... And that's about it for now.... I know I don't post tonnes here but don't find that there is a lot I can say other than I am working and trying to eat right... occasionally fall off the bandwagon and have some fries er something but nothing significant yet.... come winter... I will log walking and stuff if I can get up the, get up and go to walk then tell ya about it! LOL
anyways, off an running... TTYL

Feels good. The little changes are helping. Hopefully with being home I can get out and do some walking... get some other parts of me tightened up. I want to make some home made soups and such... straight from the garden so.. that is a beautiful thing!!! And hopefully eat better through the winter. But we shall see how that goes.

Haven't forgotten

Hey, I haven't forgotten about this here.... I have just been busy with work. Though it is hard to be with the weather the way it is. I have been trying to follow what I am aiming for. I had an order of fries the other night... I didn't eat them all as they came with gravy on them and I have never been a fan... so, I guess it kept me from eating them all, good job huh? LOL I have also been trying to have a medium french vanilla cap instead of the large. I don't know how much difference 4 ounces makes but, it tends to not make me feel ill so all is good. Mind you when we headed out on the road for a 3 hour drive I still took the large....... bad bad bad... I should have had a bottle of water. Ah well, next trip, I think, I hope, we shall see!! Next week I will weigh and measure and see what kinda difference a month makes.
Catchya later!

Holding my own.

Well, I have been feeling better. I don't have upset stomach. I don't feel as tired as I did. Feeling much better all round. I do need to be more active, though I do find that work is very physically demanding but not cardiovascular. I got on the scale after a shower today. I know I know not supposed to step on it so much but been pretty much 2 weeks. I weighed the same after a shower as I did before.... might have to weigh in the morning for a good read... eh.. one of these days. I have been drinking a lot of iced tea, but am working on drinking water instead... getting there slowly. So that's all for now!

New Scale

Yes, we have a new scale in our house. It tracks your weight for you and your goal and your BMI. This scale says I weigh less..... and I didn't even do any work... LOL

Weight - 258.8lbs (still a somewhat heavy day)
BMI - 39.5

So, there is the starting point.

The Pill

Yes, I have been one to be on it. I like the ease of it. But, Last night I looked up the side effects. I had to read them twice. Now I am not blaming everything on it, but one has to wonder. Side effects being - weight gain, hmmm interesting.... mood swings, yup had some of them.... Breast tenderness, definitely.... Tiredness, does wanting to sleep all day count?....Upset stomach, goes hand in hand with not wanting to get out of bed.... depression, that one I don't thing I'm struggling with. I was debating staying on it. Hubby said whatever you want, when I told him side effects, he said " so when do they go away?" LOL. So, needless to say with the weight struggle the pill is ending.... And we shall see how it effects things.

Hopefully now I can lose some weight. Before being on the pill, I could work out(walk steady/jog intervals) for about a month and would see results. Since the pill I have to work and work and work and work and in a month if I feel a little better I am doing good and normally see no change otherwise... so, we shall see what happens.

Talk to you later,
