Topic: RE: Tuesday: Whatcha eating today?
I'm ticked off with this whole "eat healthy" thing and ready to just chuck it all!!! Here I am day 5 of no McDonalds and what do the scales reward me with - a FREAKIN 4 pound GAIN!!!!!!! I'm so frustrated I could spit!!! But I'm stil being "good". B - oatmeal and 1/2 bagel w/ cream cheese S - hot chocolate with protein powder S2 - hand full of cheetos (oh I just needed something that was cruncy) L - I'm working on left over chicken from last night. I don't do well with left over and although it's only about a 3 oz piece I know I wont fini**** all. S - sf apple pie (dh made for me yesterday) D - ?? don't know yet, being the kids' first day of school we might just grab a pizza and call it good. Which means I'll be scrounging through the cupboards for my dinner (and all that's there is TUNA) Water - doing better today I've got my morning bottle done so far. Vits. - still not on schedule Exercise - I will walk/jog a couple of miles later tonight. I went last night at sun down, and although there were some bugs, It was absolutely beautiful to be walking by the lake with a wonderful sun set to look at!!!

Topic: RE: This isn't right!!!!
I know what you mean. I shouldn't be surprised or upset but last week I made it down to 153.2, finally "normal" bmi and today, I'm back up to 157..."overweight" again. This has been my pattern, I drop to a new low and then back up several lbs and it takes me forever to lose the few lbs again. I even walked 9 miles on Saturday and 12.3 miles yesterday. You'd think I'd be rewarded but NOPE. We just have to stick with it and eventually our bodies will respond correctly. You're doing the right thing no matter what.

Topic: Rich's health/My trip
He is doing just fine. No fever since Thursday. Doctor on Friday thought he might have a small sinus infection (though he wasn't feeling it). One sinus cavity looked a bit clogged to the doc. Put Rich on antibiotics. I liked the doctor quite a bit. Nice man. Old fashioned yet up on alot of things. He doesn't accept insurance so he is "out of network" for everyone. Older man. Probably close to 70 maybe. Good thing was that he came back to fill me in on what he found but also what he didn't find - including no issues with Rich's lymph nodes. Rich doesn't have lymphoma or so we hope. The medical issue he has can be secondary to that and the hematologist/oncologist couldn't 100% rule that out but he didn't think Rich had it but you still have to wonder. Fevers/night sweats can be a sign of that so I was "concerned". My trip was very nice except for driving through Ernesto 2 days in a row. Lovely. I'll write more tonight. Kathy

Well, those types of weight swings are soooooo normal for my body that I don't even flinch when I see 'em. Hope things are better now. Kathy

A vitamin A deficiency can contribute to recurrent stys. Get to your doctor QUICKLY and get your vitamin level checked. You do not want that deficiency - it can cause eyesight problems long term. Kathy

Topic: RE: Weird med cond? anyone else???
I've not heard of this either so I don't have an answer for you. I'd say get to the doctor on it though. I have noticed a direct corelation between my vitamin intake and my eye sight.... when the vits are taken on a regular basis, things get blurry for me and I squint a lot. Just another "strange" thing to deal with now. Hope you get your eyes back to normal soon!!! laurie (and don't be a lurker, post, post, post)

Topic: Weird med cond? anyone else???
Its been the craziest thing lately.I keep getting stys in my eyes.They fluctuate between one eye then in a few days that one goes away and then I get one in the other eye?? I have never had one before.I havent switched anything make-up,soap ect.My eye lid twitches the day before and then ..bam I got a sty.Of course I havent gone to the doctor but I think I am.I havent been sleeping all that well and like everyone else I am always stressed and running around like a chicken ...could that maybe contribute? .Just wondering if any of you maysters have heard of this or had it.I would post it on the main board but I guess you have to be in the loop or write all the time to get somekind of response.I am more of a lurker and learn alot from just reading but this med condition is new one to me(havent seen it before on any board).I would love to call in sick tomorrow but since I own my own buisness I think the boss would frown upon ~ I know I am like all the rest of you we work sick or not its just the way we roll.I always tell my kids inless they are coughing up a lung...your behind is in school.Have a great night ya-all.If you ahve heard of such a thing let me know. ~laura~
