BOTT 911 - Wednesday

OK, OK I do ok for a day or two then not so good.  I am not gaining but not losing...  I think I am going to look into a personal trainer to kick my butt for awhile until I get back in the groove.    Maybe I need someone like that show celebrity fit club to give me that kick in the butt. 

And if it snows one more day 

Ok, I am done venting, complaining and feel so much better 

What's eating you today?

Take care,
Kathy

I am right there with you Kathy.  I am proud to say that I am on day three of doing it right this week.  I finally realized it is okay to start over every day or even every hour if needed.

I always feel better working with a trainer, he pushes me to the limits I would never push myself to.  I often wonder how he knows so much better what I am capable of.

Sorry, nothing to vent about today.  I take that back, Mother Nature is getting ready to show herself so I am kind of on a carb kick today, trying to keep it in check with whole wheat carbs.

Hang in there!

I am pissed off and depressed. And this morning the scale showed 8 lbs weigh gain since last week. It is a probably a water gain due to hormonal changes but....part of my brain is freaking out and calling me a pig, the other part knows I did not eat that many calories to gain that much weight. And I was trying to eat more - to gain some... (size 6 pants were falling off of me).

It did not help that a coworker commented that it looks like I gained some weight. He did not specify if that is good or bad - but guess what - no eating for me for a few days. I know better - but - just can't help it. My appetite is gone, and knowing me - his comment is going to stick with me until the scale shows the gain gone... I really want to hurt him now -but that would not help a bit - I still get paranoid about these comments

Besides the infernal snow??????

I also showed a gain of about 10 pounds when I weighed last week.  That is unacceptable, which led me to BOTT.  I have been doing much better and cutting out a lot of things.  I evan managed to walk a mile each day at lunch this week, today, running 2 of the laps around my building!  I got on the scale this morning and.......NO LOSS!!!  To top it off, I could not button the pair of jeans I was planning to wear to the concert tonight.  UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Dawn - Sounds as though there might be some hormonal stuff going on here - "that time" of the month maybe?

I AM curious about that idea. 
I had a total hysterectomy last October and am wondering if that will affect my weight and/or ability to lose?  I forgot to ask the doctor at the time, and he isn't one of those that really talks that much in the first place.

Berts - Don't forget your dr is there to serve you - you are not there to serve him.  Call and ask him - or his nurse - how your hysterectomy will affect your weight loss.  I am sure that your body is still in the process of adjusting to the hysterectormy.  It hasn't been that long ago.  Your dr should be able to advise you. 

Seem to be there and been doing that Kathy.  I am so glad for BOTT because it helps me to get right back on that pony and to better eating habits.  Yeah I fall off more than I would like but I get back on which keeps me from going back to where I came from. 

Glad you feel better because I do too.

I gained due to weather (being unable to go out made me not wanna exercise at all, and this is my first year in a while dealing with Seasonal affective disorder) my spouse being deployed and a lot of bad food choiced. I weighed 136 when we moved in here, now I'm between 155-158 depending on the day. REALLY need to kick this gain in the ass. I felt a little too thin at 136 (I'm 55 and I know that's a normal weight but It felt "weird") but wouldn't mind being in the low 140s again.
I'm jumping on the exercise bandwagon now, using housework and some dancing to get my cardio up- still not doing nearly enough and can't seem to dump the sugar monster.

Amber - Let us know how we can help you - we're here to help and support each other.  Feed the Sugar Monster some of the low calorie, healthy goodies.  I like Jello's 60 calorie individual servings of their various chocolate (I'm convinced choc is the only food absolutely essential to life LOL) puddings and mouses. I wish you well
