 What a crappy day. I feel so moody and bummed. I even took the day off not to come into work. I went to get my hair colored and cut and it was just a lot of money and it doesnt look good at all. also i have this beach trip planned and paid for and now they booked our annual planning meetings at work for mon and tue of the week i was supposed to be at the beach. i dont have the guts to drive there later by myself, it's a far drive, highways i am not used to, etc and i may just have to cancel the whole thing. Sucks. 

Eating was ok. I guess 900 cal till now. so will be low.

Have a good night, everyone.

Progress as of today - 24 lbs lost so far, only 23 lbs to go!

WI_HashiHypo on 04/09/2009:
I am sorry to hear about the possiblity of the trip being cancelled. That is a drag. And sorry that you don't like your hair. The important thing about the hair is that you tried something new, but I know how you feel because I take a lot of care with my hair and when it isn't right, I feel the pain. Sometimes those allergies can make you moody. I hope you feel better tomorrow :(

So I finally think I figured out what is keeping me so tired and lazy these days, the pollen. I think i have allergies. I couldn't get out of bed till 10am this morning. Got to work at 10:30. Haha.

I will try Claritin and see if that helps, if not, will have to go to the doctor. Pollen count is so high in GA...

Anyway, i go up and down on my menus. I think I have been alright overall, but really need to be consistent.

 

Will try to journal everyday again on here and maybe that will help. xoxo

WI_HashiHypo on 04/08/2009:
Allergies are a DRAG!!! I hope the claritin works for you! I drink a lot of liquids all day. The hunger is one of the (many) symptoms of the Hashimoto's not necessarily the Hypothyroid per-sey, but the biggest reason I 'feel' hungry all the time is because my sleep is still trying to get regulated. If I don't eat a little something, I end up eating a LOT of food...like HOARDS of food, it is obscene how much food I can eat if I let it slip away from me. So I broke up my meals into really mini meals so I can eat every hour or two hours. It is a physical thing that becomes psychological. Slowly I am training my body (and mind) to get used to smaller meals. It is working right now, but it could change quickly. Once the thyroid is regulated better some of this should subside. Mostly getting the sleep and rest I need will really help. Getting the temp up to a normal temp will also help because the body won't be sending signals to eat more to stoke the temp or to eat more to help me wake up. Interesting, really. Aggravating, yes LOL


omahagrl on 04/09/2009:
Maybe you are tired since your a party animal on the weekends...lol I know if I go out it seems it takes a week to get back to normal but that is also a sign that I am almost 50. Thank you for the comment on my picture as i cracked up this morning when I read it. have a great day my friend!

 Well, my weekends have been nuts. Fun, but way too busy.

I did go for walks, danced and was active, but also didn't really pay that much attention to what I ate as I should, but on the other hand, you can consider yesterday my cheat day. I didn't do that bad on Sat, ate out but healthy choices.

I don't have any food at home at all. Need to shop asap.

 One less pound.

I think for now instead of trying to be perfect everyday, i will allow myself to have a cheat day, that will be every saturday or a different day depending on what I have going on that week. That way, I know i can enjoy other things that day, and it's more likely I can behave on the other days. I'll see how that goes.

 

Lots of dancing last night, again :)

 

B: strawberries and yogurt 60 small slice of coffee cake 100

L: roast beef sandwich (homemade) 400 and granola yogurt and blueberries 200

WI_HashiHypo on 04/03/2009:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Eventually when I have more self control (break my sugar addiction) I would like to go back to having a single cheat meal one day per week. The only problem with doing it now, when I don't really control what I eat, I go out of control for DAYS at a time. I am tired of the two steps forward and fifty steps back. I think you will enjoy that cheat day!!

Dance, Dance, Dance!!! (heard the song? it's by Lykke Li)

 Had another good day and that makes me very happy. I want to have mostly good days now, unless there's a special occasion I can plan to ahead.

Working out helped too, and I am going tomorrow again.

I also got my period (I only get it 4 times a year, I take Seasonale), so I am hoping I may be a couple of pounds lighter than what I weighted today. Maybe 175? That would be nice. :)

Goal is still to lose 5 pounds in two week, so at least 172 on the 16th would be great.

Only good days sista! Besides you have all those pool parties coming up in a few months and you have to share your pics of you and your friends having a good time. :-)


MoodyMe on 04/02/2009:
Yay for good days!!! hahaha~makes you feel great inside doesn't it! Keep it up!


WI_HashiHypo on 04/02/2009:

WI_HashiHypo on 04/02/2009:
PUSH!!!!!!! I'm pushing you =) I am going to take my diet one week at a time. Of course by focusing on one week at a time. And completely forget about the final goal. And then at the end of the month I can look back at the WHOLE month and be like "Yeah, check ME out!" lol

Great day yesterday. Still I am at 178, of course I had major catching up to do.

S: apple 60

Ok I think you need to change your name from Grumpy to Caliente Chicka! Let's make April the best month so far this year.

Hey Hey ~ Manu!.... I understand the not wanting to comment part...BUT, also know even when I'm down and can maybe give a smile to someone else in comment and hang in there that I sometimes get a "charge" out of it myself..... We have to believe what we tell each other and then it usually will work for ourselves.... BELIEVE!!!! . . . YOU . . . ARE . . . WORTH . . . IT . . .

Busy busy week. Both work and socially. I went out a lot, saw live music 3 days in a roll, only drank one day, so the other days were active, because i danced a lot, and didnt ingest any empty calories. All in all okay. But i did eat badly a couple of times.

 

Why is this so hard now and last year i felt like it was easy?

 

Argh.

Amazing how fast those teeny tiny bites of chocolate add up so quickly! Good job overall, though. Hey, we'll take 15 mins of exercise.


nimony on 03/24/2009:
By the way, I wanted to thank you for your comments the other day. I too am working on round 2 with this weight loss thing. I started exercising in Jan 2008, then started working on losing weight last May. I lost 20 pounds by August, but have lost only a couple of pounds since then...7 months...but at least I kept those 20 off. Now, round 2. Ding! So good luck to both of us on this next round!


selina on 03/25/2009:
15 minutes is better than nothing - it counts!


loveray on 03/25/2009:
it looks like an awesome day, M! sometimes the body needs chocolate:) and you had a nice walk! i miss being able to call you and just walk out the door to meet you for our inman park strolls. maybe one day soon, again! xoxo


legcramps on 03/25/2009:
15 minutes is way better than what I got yesterday! ZILCH! Have a great day!


thinnside40 on 03/25/2009:
15 minutes is better than what I've done....... I am keeping moving/busy with the "spring cleaning" and burning calories, but just a 15 minute walk sounds so inviting..... Good Job!
