2008 - this years gonna be great, Booey's 2008 Life journal

Thank Karen, I can really do whatever I want to now. But there are some other issues I am dealing with, check out my P&I thread or Briannes about AF. I have WI tonight and if I see a loss, I shouldn't with all the crap that I have been eating, I know that something else is up. The ankle is feeling really good, will start my walking tapes again, right now I am just getting my activity by shovelling all the snow we are getting.

Thanks again for checking on me.

I hope your a loser tongiht

Okay, another week gone, many more to follow. Had WI last night I went, despite the wicked snow storm we were having. I lost a grand total of .2 of a pound last night. I was totally expecting a gain. Oh well.

I peed on the stick again this morning and got a negative. Will have to call the doctor soon and get in to see him to try and figure out what is going on.

Not much else happening except that we will be shovelling snow til April around here. Have agreat day everyone.

well at least you lost something right?

Oh, don't get me wrong I am very happy to have lost what I did, looking back at how bad my eating this past has been. I think that all the snow shovelling may have leveled out my extra in take. Thanks for the hugs.

KUP on what you find out at the doc, Terri.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!

Hi guys,

Okay, I made the call and am going to the doctors today to find out what is going on. I spoke to the nurse this time, one that knows me and she really stressed that I should come in given the 2 neg tests. So I have an appt at 2:40pm so I get to leave here (work) at 2pm. Yipee, nothing like a short day on Friday. Well, I still have to sit here and listen to my co-worker gripe about me leaving early. Too bad for her. LOL

Just wanted to keep you in the loop. Thanks for the hugs and support, it means a lot to me.

Gonna update my late post now.

Hi,

Well my dear friend showed up yesterday afternoon and is full swing right now. I guess I really shouldn't have been eating like I was pg. Oh well, I don't feel any worse for the wear, will find out my damage on Wednesday night. Now I am waiting patiently for the call from the doctors office to confirm what I already know, NOT PREGNANT. YIPEEEEEE!!!!!!! Yes I am rather relieved and saddened at the same time. Just would like some answers as I really don't want another 42 day cycle.

Well I am back on track, and will haul out my workout equipment again, as long as the snow stays away I can actually do a workout other wise I am using snow shovelling as my activity.

Just wanted to pop in and update. Will update further when the doc's office calls.

Checking in to day, had WI last night am okay with the gain, as I know why, I was eating like I was PG and it shows. I now know that I am not PG and will get my arse in gear and start working out again. I spoke to Matt on Monday night and asked him if he was embarrassed by my size and he said yes. He said he still loves me and I told him that it was okay and I am really trying to lose the extra pounds. I also told him he was one of the reasons I went back to WW and that made him happy.

So on to another week, still havent' heard from the doctor yet, guess the tests are taking longer than he thought.

Here is to a good week this week.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Hang in there. SO the docs office are they running more test or was it just a PG test? my cycles are getting wacky again. I am hoping to find a natural way to help them. Have a great day.

Thanks, they did the PG test, my thyroid levels TSH test, and a whole bunch more, he didn't really tell me all of them but he did take 7 vials of blood so I am guessing there are at least 7 test being done. I will call them again later today to see if the results are back because this is not like them to be almost a week in getting back to me with results.

Okay got the call from the doc's office after I called them, looks like everything came up normal, so we are going to just sit tight and see what next month brings. I do know that we won't be taking any chances and the hubby will be making an appointment soon. That is all for now.

Well I'm glad everything came up normal. Still frustrating, though, I'm sure.

on the gain. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and go get girl!

Okay back for another weekly check in. Had WI last night and am down basically what I was up last week. We went out to dinner on Saturday night to a place called The Old Spaghetti Factory. I had a great meal, Goat Cheese stuffed Agnolotti with a sundried tommatoes, onions, mushrooms and their house pesto sauce. Thank goodness I walked to and from the restaurant, about 1.5 miles each way. Otherwise the scale would have gone in the other direction. My mom was in visiting and she got a room at the Sheraton Centre Hotel here so we went and had dinner with them and swam in their indoor/outdoor pool. It was really cool the kids had a blast with their cousins and of course I had to swim because the pool was too deep for Thomas to be in alone. It was fun, but they wanted me to go in the hot tub but it was packed and I am not one to share hot tubs with strangers, kinda yucky in my opinon. As we were coming back from dinner the hotel was filling up with people all dressed up and tons of millitary looking peeps. They even had 2 millitary vehichles in the building. I really felt outta place in my jeans and sweater, but hey they are used to all types of people.

On to another a week, I will not give up this journey even if I disappear for a while I will always be around. Have a great day to every one who reads this.

PS - I have decided to haul out my old stationary bike and when the kids want me to "help" them with a video game, I have to ride the bike while I play. I know that I won't be going that fast but at least I am not sitting on my tush.

Okay, weekly check in, a little late but I am here. Had WI on Wednesday and am down a pound. Gotta take em as they come. Had a so so week food wise, had a tooth filled yesterday and boy does it hurt. He had to take out a 25 year old filling and replace it. Says they may have to take the root eventually, they went pretty deep into the gums to get it filled properly. Okay onto another week.

I will get more activity in some how, eat CORE foods and drink all my water.

Thanks for reading.

You're doing so well Terri.... Keep it up!!! (well...down.. lol)

Thanks Rocky, things are kinda slowing down, not really focused on what I am doing. Gotta get well first, then I will concentrate on weight loss and healthy living again.

Absolutely.... so you're working today even with no voice huh? I hope you don't get too many annoying people to have to strain to talk to...

Hi!!

If I remember correctly, when I was here years ago, I've seen pix of you and I saw your pic in the OP and you look totally amazing!!!! And even if I'm wrong and haven't seen pix of you before, you still look totally amazing!

Okay, I am back at 'er and trying to get control of things again before I get back up to my original starting weight. I am not doing so good in the acitivity/exercise part of my weightloss program and that is really affecting me. So I have no excuses these days with the weather getting warmer, I am going to get moving again and shed these unwanted pounds once and for good. I actually tried rollerblading yesterday but the rollerblades wouldn't go on properly due to my tree trunk lower legs and calf so I am hauling out my skipping rope, yes I said skipping rope and am going to attempt to jump rope. If all else fails I am pulling out my gazelle and getting back on her, I may do both for variety.

I hope to see more people back in this area of the boards, you were all a great source of support and inspiration to me when I was posting regularly.

Have a great week and I will try and get back here more often.

Thanks Teesa, not really liking how I am looking these days but working on that part (the mental aspect) of my weightloss journey and I have already come a long way in that department with a ways to go still.

Does anybody these days like how they look? I know I don't like how I look, but other than undergoing cosmetic surgery [which I'm not willing to do], I'll just have to learn to like me sooner or later!!

Congrat's on your journey!! And if you find you don't like your bike, you can always walk to my house!! Depending on how fast you walk, you would probably make it some time after lunch It took me 3 hours to walk from Stratford to St. Marys once, and it's a 20 minute drive. I took the back roads, though, so it probably wouldn't have taken quite that long had I taken the highway. I figured the back roads would be shorter
