Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday 1/25

Good Friday morning. Hope everyone is well.

No weight for me today - still on prednisone. Boy have I had the steroid munchies. Trying to make good choices, but I do not like this at all! This too shall pass, though, and the poison is already much better. Only one small spot still itches.

This weekend, bad weather and lots to do so we'll see. Trying to help a friend cope with an extremely difficult very young adult son (20) who needs to see a therapist or get out of the house. I'm really poor at knowing how to handle such things and feel helpless - she doesn't want to kick him out (where will he go and how will he manage?) but she cannot let him stay and intimidate/verbally abuse her. He's not been physically violent, but his behavior is has become frightening and controlling.

Ah well, moral support I can do.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

174.2

 

Got. Sick from something with dinner last night.  Horrible Diarrhea and running a fever of 101.  Off to see the doctor.

 

guess I was Full of It, lol!

 

seriously though, trying to get hydrated again.

5 lbs loss in one day... wow, I hope you feel better soon.

Yikes. Feel better soon!

157.4 today

Nervous about this weekend's training run - still tired from last week!

121.0

More snow and cold weather in the way. This time of year I just want to stay under the covers.

136.7.  Almost to my goal weight of 135 for my cruise.  We leave next Saturday- YAY! 

It's a balmy 20 degrees here, a nice change from yesterday's -14.  I am tracking my food today, and planning to hit the gym for a run tonight.  I am on Week 4, Day 1 of my couch to 5K app.  This app is my favorite way to get back in the habit of running.

122.5.  i will see Dr. C tomorrow. gotta make sure i am not blimped out and incur his wrath. LOL he is actually quite kind.   diane

This week seems like it has taken an eternity to get to Friday.  163.2 today.

Sounds like your friend has to practice some tough love with her son.  He is 20 years old, not a baby so he will manage, and he will figure it out.  It doesn't sound like a good situation at all, and a mother shouldn't have to take verbal or any other kind of abuse from their children whether they are 2 or 20.  Is it a matter of her realizing that she is actually not helping her son at this point by letting him stay home and carry on with the troubling behavior? Good luck with the moral support.  Its sure nice to have a friend to lean on now and then.

Have a good day everyone.

Happy Friday!  Sounds like a tough situation for your friend.  It's easy for me to say to set firm limits, etc. with her son, as I'm not emotionally involved.  It's so much harder when you are right in it.  I'm sure she appreciates your moral support while she sorts out what to do.

This morning's weight was 180.6.  I didn't post yesterday, but need to admit my weight was 181.2 then.  I have been taking too many little liberties with food that add up to too many calories.  I am also experiencing some constipation issues, but I know that's not all of it.  I need to avoid a couple of foods, which I am having trouble doing, as I eat them too often and/or in too big portions.  I've been trying to figure out the head stuff that's interfering.  I've identified that this week was the 1 month anniversary of my dad's death, and I have been dealing with filling out paperwork, etc. for a life insurance policy he left to me and my brother.  My step mom sent the paperwork, along with his death certificate, which was hard to read.   My brother is estranged (he left over 20 years ago), and I haven't yet written to him at his last known address someone found for me 4 yrs ago, for fear of what I'd find.  I had to give that info to the insurance company, which made me again face my need to try and contact him.  So that old issue has also been dredged up on top of grieving for my dad.  I need to be more mindful of what's going on for me when I want to indulge.
