well I've started iron pills... 1x/day. we'll just have to see how that works out for long term.

And now.. I feel like all my muscles have given ME the heave-ho. HOW DARE THEY!

chest is hurting a bit. Maybe an allergy, but hope it's not a bronchitis thing.

I have WAY too much to do in the next 2 weeks.

so weightwise, I'm holding a steady 160. I'll take it.. FOR NOW! I'd really like to go down to about 125.

Dr. appt next week.. might go for a complete hysterectomy. I'm really sick of these issues... especially not feeling 100%. I'm WAY too tired for NO REASON! It's a little ridiculous!!

We'll have to wait and see how the rest of the test results go.

hmmm time for supper... what's for supper? NO IDEA!!

and it's LATE!

6*4*10

WOW. we're already in JUNE!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Twins finished school yesterday. GRADE 1.. DONE :)

They got great grades.. 3, 3+ and 4's. I'LL TAKE IT! hard to get a 4 apparently.

ok. today I'm back on the wagon! (for the most part lol).

I weighed myself.. I lost that other 5 pounds that seemed to jump on board... so I'm back down to 120 lbs lost.

I can't believe it!!!! I need to lose 50 lbs to be "GOAL"... but that's not gonna happen!!!! I'll consider 40.

TIME!

Summer is in full swing... with everything going on health wise here... I'm going to take it easy.

Possible surgery over the summer... or wait till all three of the kids go to school end of August.. we'll see what we can schedule!!! More tests coming up.. 2 more "procedures" and I think after that.. I'll just REST!

I need to get back to doing what I like to do... GRAPHIC design.. get my business back and going! :)

todays meal plan so far....

toast. - breakfast
2 salmon mashed with onion and mayo sandwiches (NO CRUST)and diet coke ( I usually drink water, but I needed to burp. lol )

supper... WHO KNOWS!!! we'll see.. maybe I can beg hubby to go out? or cook! LOL.

Good morning ladies/gents :)

Would you believe it's been 2 weeks I'm waiting on blood test results.. 1 of which should have been back within a few hours atleast!?!

ah well.

Still on my "train" chugging along... slowly but surely!

I need to get off my lardy butt and walk. this morning was gorgeous for it!!! now it's just heating up.

This morning's breakfast ( as I need to eat more apparently )

I had toast with cottage cheese and a bowl of CORNPOPS. ok.. cornpops are not what I remembered!! LOL. they are awful! only ate 1/2 the bowl.

I'm going to have to come up with meal plans for the summer. especially since I'll have the kids around me. Hard to eat good with kids around. :)

Although... with kids around, I can go grocery shopping daily if need be for fresher ingredients to make things... don't have to worry about timeframe!

I'd like to make a HUGE trip to IKEA!!

OK. with the Anemia set in, I'm finding myself eating a few things I normally wouldn't. I have a HUGE craving for brussel sprouts. lol. RIBS. MEAT. although once I get it on my plate.. I'm like... UGHHHH.

Anyone have better thoughts? veggies/fruits?

what's your favorite??

HOLLAR at me on facebook! :)

WOW. it's been quite a while since I've updated!! I'm sorry!

I just don't know why I can't seem to keep this together.

I've gained 3 lbs :(

but maybe if I didn't have a craving for OLIVES... or anything with salt in it... it would help!?!?

I've recently gone for blood work to see what's going on.. we're waiting on the results... it's been ANNOYING! When you don't feel good, you tend to eat like crap.

I'm always tired.. for a while there, I wanted to be in bed only. Hated doing anything.. felt confused. dropped the ball on many things.. my weightloss train being one of those things :(

so I'm posting a pic of me in a bathing suit that was taken today.

I want to push myself to wear a 2 piece (EEEEEEEK) by the end of this summer... YA.. I can do it.

Not sure if I have the confidence to wear a 2 piece..... lol.... but we'll see.. time will tell ( more realistic towards end of Dec of this year!! )



WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Today is a new day...

I'm so sorry I've not updated in some time.

I've been so sick and the last thing I thought about was watching what I ate... if I ate at all.

Which trust me.... I recommend eating!! ;)


For the most part I ate real food. I did start eating breads/pastas for supper which is usually a BIG no -no for me, but since I was sick, I just didn't care!

I got put on 5 different medicines and sometimes I just couldn't stomach eating. Or I would just have something VERY small!

I have not weighed myself since the beginning of the illness... and I should. I try to weigh myself daily. Keeps you focused. accountable for you are doing!

Someone came up to me yesterday and asked me if I've lost a ton more weight. They saw me a week ago... HMMMM .. I'll TAKE IT!! LOL.


The drawbacks with some of the antibiotics is swelling. I've come to have a twitching in my hand. Very strange. almost nerve like damage.. but not quite. maybe low blood pressure/sugar? NO I'm not diabetic either!

ahhh..

I hope everyone is having (OR WILL HAVE) a fantastic day!! :)

Smart lunch

I think it was the best choice for me today.

Turns out I'm sick. Bronchial pneumonia, sinus and ear infections... so eat light. nothing too heavy!

I had some mashed up salmon with mayo, sliced up radishes and broccoli, some roasted garlic/olive oil couscous. ( I'll add in pic )

it was quite tasty!!

I then proceeded to take a 10 mins catnap. I need more sleep lol.

Not sure what to make for supper?

If you're on Facebook look me up and tell me what I should make . lol.

Stress, blogging and eating!

I'm sorry I haven't blogged. Lot of stress going on right now. This and right before my period are hard times with eating the wrong kinds of food.

I'm actually quite proud of myself right now... even with the stress that's been going on many different fronts, I actually haven't gone out of my way to eat poorly!

I walked right by the candy and chip aisles!! actually I've done that for the past week or so.

I actually walked right by the Easter aisle... which is a VERY hard thing for me!! MMMM easter eggs!! MMMMMM easter peeps!! mmmmmmmm PEEPS!!!!

SORRY!!! LOL.

I guess it all comes down to will power???

Yesterday my will power went out the window!! I had Mcd's. I haven't had Mcd's in forever. I just can't eat that stuff anymore!! just the taste of it.. ugh.

last night however, I made myself some roasted garlic with marjarine COUSCOUS. I added a few apricots ( which is NOT a good plan TODAY! LOL ) and it was actually SO good!

I think I need to look up COUSCOUS and see really how bad it is.

ok ... I'm rambling. Just TONS of stress... and I think I need to go for a massage and pedi/mani!!!

YUP!!! That's what I need!!!!!
