I'm in a lot of fibro pain today, despite doing very little (apart from going to the shop to by coke)
today is one of those days where I realise how badly I handle everything (my fibro, my BP, all my illnesses) I litirally have to sit and do nothing to be in agony |

I fell off the low carb wagon again. I’m so frustrated with myself. I just give in to the cravings no matter what. And for some reason I seem to be hungry all. The. Time. I know it’s not my meds because nothing has changed and I didn’t have the hunger a year ago. I don’t know what the deal is. I don’t know how much I weigh because I can’t face the number on the scale.
I’m ashamed to make an appt with the GI dr. The last time I went (2 years ago) he fat shamed me. He told me I was morbidly obese (I only weigh 220 pounds) and when I told him I gained weight from meds he questioned me about my lifestyle. I admitted that I didn’t exercise much and he said so it’s not all meds, some of it’s you ![]() In better news I am trying to take control of my weight. I ate well today and went to the gym. I biked for 35 minutes (had to get to six miles lol). I’m proud of myself today. That’s all that matters.

Just wanted to bring this up .... muscle weighs more than fat so it’s likely you did lose fat but gained muscle so just going by weight is really inaccurate it. I go by how my clothes fit, I do have to avoid seeing numbers as that triggers my ed. Congrads on sticking to your weight loss journey. I’m glad you and your brother can lean on each other. What a huge relief !

my tummy does not agree with me today and it's quite tragic (I guess those sausage rolls I had yesterday were a bit off?)
in any case I was in the bathroom today at like stupid o clock. think I'm okay now (fingers crossed) fibro pain is still bad too |

Oh no! You've had a run of painful days and now this on top of it. I hope you feel better soon. I'm wishing you a relaxing day with pain that eases up as you go along.

I scheduled an appointment with a new GI dr. So hopefully this one’s better than the last.
I ate pizza for lunch today. Not the greatest choice. Then I came home and ate popcorn, which isn’t so bad. I just had a soft pretzel from the convenience store. I had a frozen fruit bar as well. So overall not TOO bad but we are going to the fair tonight. Not sure what I’ll end up eating bc I’m not sure what kind of food is offered there. Nothing good I’m sure, I mean it’s a fair, but maybe I can find a hot dog. Hot dogs aren’t awful calories wise. I worked out again today. Another 30 minutes on the bike. That was to offset the fair food lol. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling well so I didn’t work out, but I didn’t eat much either so I guess it’s ok. No workouts this weekend, I can only go when my son is still at camp.

Nice work WC! Your body thanks you.
I keep fudgsicles in my freezer for the very same craving. They are low in sugar and calories, but make me feel like I'm eating ice cream. |

I have a healthy eating plan that I put a lot of thought into yet I’ve failed to implement it. I workout yet I’m not consistent. I hope to change that starting Monday. My life coach helped me set goals and is going to keep me accountable with daily check ins. I need to lose weight that years of psychotropics has put on but otherwise, physically, I am healthy.

Honestly I need to be rich so I can have a chef make me healthy delicious food. A trainer to help me workout around my chronic pain issues , so maybe more a physical Therapist?
I love cleaning so I don’t need a maid. I dream of this often ! LOL

yesterday I had my shower, and it was so painfull (to the point where it took me like 50 minits to recover from it)
I was in pain for much of yesterday, today's a bit better- but I didn't get any sleep last night because of my back (ugg) and it's killing me- the back, that is. not that I didn't get any sleep (I'm used to that one). |

I'm taking the day off from training and monitoring my eating today. We are going to a family gathering and I plan to just focus on having fun playing with my kids and their cousins. We plan to eat out and I'll keep it as healthy as possible, but I am not going to worry about the calories. Cheat day!

i hope everyone has had a good weekend!
![]() A lazy day for me today. I go in and out of feeling deeply demoralized. Today, had to have a small amount of interaction with H and I'd felt...and am feeling... quite ill. The whole mess is toxic to me. I was withdrawn enough to not care about eating, which is not my goal. Neither extreme is my goal. Tomorrow is a brand new day! Love to All!!! ![]()

![]() I hope focusing on your family has been FUN and rewarding in every way!!!! I believe: Children know if parents are fully present or not; they usually respond in a very positive manner when they feel parents are truly with them! On the other hand, parents have a greater chance at deeply enJOYing time with their children if they do carve out time to give 100% to their children. EnJOY your cheat day!!! ![]()

I could use a cook and a trainer, too. I don't mind cooking, when I am not in pain. However, I am in pain a lot. A trainer? So hard to believe I was such a formidable athlete at one time in my life! At the time, that was my whole reason for living! Lol! I had used exercise and weight training as a coping method for all of the stress and tragedy. I need a trainer, or a strengthening and conditioning coach, to help get me stronger and to regain stamina. I need to focus on my intentions and my goals. Now! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I finally got my scale from my mom’s. I’m two pounds lighter than I thought I was so that’s good I guess. Still too heavy though. Have twenty pounds to go to get to my first goal. I actually didn’t do so bad yesterday despite getting a really calorie heavy breakfast. Dunkin’ Donuts gave me the wrong coffee. Usually I get skim milk and Splenda but they gave me cream and sugar. That’s 200 calories while skim milk and Splenda is only 50. I drank it anyway since I paid for it. I ate a small lunch and even though we went out for dinner it wasn’t that calorie heavy surprisingly enough. So I only went over calories slightly.
Today I am still on track to stay under calories. Tomorrow I plan to go to the gym. So hopefully I’ll start this week off right!

I didn't work out for the past two days. I did a ton of housework this morning and then forced myself to do my circuit training even though Inwas already tired. It was worth it. I feel so much better now.
My eating has been steady. I've stayed within my limits ever since I started counting. I have most of the dinners for this week planned out already, so it should be easy to stay on track. Hugs and well wishes to everyone here. Let's make it a good week! |

I was doing great with exercise and my eating plan up until this evening. Hubby was with me today (he took the day off), but then he went out with his friend for dinner, leaving me home alone. Yesterday one of his work colleagues came over to work on a project with him. I'm still not fully recovered from my recent stress. I've done fairly well, but having my psychiatrist away for so long is a bit of a deprivation for me. My psychiatrist is a more significant part of my support system than anyone else in my life. Even more significant than my therapist. My pet parrot used to be part of that support system, but he's gone.
I have wanted to weigh myself, but haven't because of a digestive track issue I won't go into. Once it passes, I'll get on the scale. I have to look at tonight as a stress eating "blip" that will end tonight. |
