Getting Back on Track - Monday post

Well my weekend went pretty well.  Friday night we did a family dinner out and then some shopping, Saturday was cleaning day at home, then hubby and I got an evening to ourselves  , good exercise all day long.  Sunday was up early and we worked for a few hours on painting the fence, then had my dad & stepmom over for lunch and a visit, kind of a lazy afternoon just puttering.  I did well with my food & water for the most part (a few slip ups), great with my exercise, so so with my vitamins.

On the books for today, we are going to cruise out of here and head up to my dad's to pick up the last few furniture pieces he is holding for me, take the opportunity to swim a bit and relieve the heat of this nasty day, then home to putter around some more.

I have no idea what I will be eating or drinking but I will work on making the best choices.  :)

Have a great day!!

Good morning beautiful! I hope you have a great day and enjoy the swimming. Great job with getting back on track!

Today is all about getting better in this house.  Strep has reared its ugly head! 

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good day All,

Sorry to hear about your strep Tam - speedy recovery my friend.   Ms. Court have a cool day swimming sounds fun!

Today, l'm waiting for the verizon phone repair guy to fix our phone lines at home.   Other than that it's home relaxing and chilling after a busy wknd.

Sounds like you had a busy weekend Court! 

As for me, today is my first day alone since the surgery and feeling a bit lonely.  Doing very well though.  Trying to get in all my water today as I have been having a rough time with that.  Finally grabbed the kitchen timer and have it set for every 15 min.  Honestly I am feeling water logged and like I will never get enough water!  I know the protein counts but is there anything else that counts also?  Afraid of going outside because of the heat and fear of dehydration so I have been using the Walk away the Pounds video to get some walking in here in the house. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Food is becoming an issue for me since my fill last Thursday.  It appears that I am being forced back to mushies because anything else gets stuck & then I throw up.  Oh, & did I mention that all the HEALTHY stuff gets stuck, but crap like cheetos or chips go right down with no problem.  I chew & chew & chew till there ain't nothin' to chew anymore, & it still gets stuck!  Ggggrrrr!!!  I don' t know what I'm doing wrong.

Exercise over the weekend consisted of 7 hours in the truck driving to Ohio on Friday, helping get us set up & caring for our horse on Fri & Sat,  staying in my trailer a lot because of the heat on Sat, but I still managed to get some walking in, Sunday 9 hours driving home from Ohio.

Today is a different story, exercise-wise...up with the chickens so Matt & I could harvest green beans, squash, & tomatoes before the heat set in.  Now I'm sitting at my desk with my laptop.

I plan to do some WiiFit shortly...been so long...tooo long!!

Breakfast consisted of 4 oz of homemade chili, lunch will be steamed squash & fresh green beans, dinner, I HOPE, will be about 2 oz of pulled pork with more fresh veggies.

Ok, so it's time to hear from the rest of ya'll.  Who's stepping up next??

Sorry you are having a hard time Anne.    Perhaps add a sause to the meat like in the early days. 
Perhaps get in a protein drink to keep the grams higher until you can handle eating.  
 
OMG do not talk about the chip crap.   I have been bad.  Working out has be hungry late at night.  Trying to drink more fluids instead of cheating ... Dang!! it is hard. 

Hang in there

Sounds like you had a busy weekend and so did I. The weekend ended with putting my dad in the hospital with pneumonia and he will be there for a couple of days at least. Trying to eat slowly and take my time. Losing some of the weight slowly but that is ok too. Stay out of the heat as much as I can.

I'm a little late posting, but just had the chance to get online.

I am feeling a little under the weather, so no exercise today, especially in this heat. 

Food-wise: 

Soup, a little salad and a few pieces of a mixed cheese quesadilla
Two protein bars
Maybe a protein shake...see how I feel

Have a good evening, all.

Weekend was insane.  Found Friday I did not get the house.  Saturday looked at 2 new houses and my 2nd choice.  There was only one other contract in and the realtor was meeting with the seller at 3pm so my realtor and I rushed and put a contract on it.  I asked for 10K less and half the closing cost.  My realtor thought it was a pretty good offer.  But the seller took the other offer.  So I have been really stressed and plus DOM started saturday and that is when my rage stress comes into play.  I had to have my girlfriend come pick me up and take me out before I stabbed somebody in the eye.  Not that I am one, I am much better.  Still extremly stressed, but I am handling myself.

The second house we looked out at Saturday, B loved.  I loved the lot but not to thrilled on the inside there are some concearns.  But it is a 3 acre lot back into 20+ acres of privte wooded lot.  3 levels, 4 bed, 3.5 baths.  It has a beautiful wrap around deck in the back that goes down to this hudge deck that holds an ubove ground pool.  It has a lot of potential.  It has oil heat so I would want it converted to heat pump.  money there.  But I is nice.  A hudge fenced in dog pen so I can keep Romeo.  I put a contract on it Sunday.  I am aking $20K less to fit into my budget.  If they don't take it then they don't.  I have not heard anything yet.  I do know, if I get, who would like to have an OH party at the house?? 

I am getting back on track with eating. I have gone the oppisite, not eating.  I am the type I get in good meals and snacks a day averaging about 1600 calories to maintain my deficeit to loose weight. I am prolly no where close right now.

Work is insane.  been working until 230am the past few night.  About to do more work.

Tam, I hope you feel better.

Pat many prayers for your farther.

Ann, why don't you do some protien smoothers with fruit for a couple of days and give you tummy time to heal from the fill.

Late Monday night, but wanted to post.
 The weekend was great until Sunday when I was experiencing gastrointestinal stuff. Called in sick to work, but by Sunday evening feeling better. Slept well and gt up early Monday morning to go to work.
   Today went well at work. It began with a doc. appointment for one of the ladies. Got some paper work done before the residents came home. We all had a nice time together. Then it was home to chill and check the puter.
    In June, I forgot to pay my $10.00 state income tax. Well got a letter today letting me know that I need to pay $12.57 or they will take further action. The state must be pretty desperate if they are going after a meer $12.57. Hope that they are as aggressive with those who owe millions to the state. Just had to get that off my chest...thanks for listening.
Off to bed, now.
Breakfast...bagel with pb
Lunch...Alfredo with chicken and veggies
Dinner...sloppy joe w/out the bun, baked beans and grape tomatoes.
Peace and love.
Cindy
