New years day, my birthday was the second day of driving back from Indiana for the holidays. We spent the night in memphis and had some good BBQ not great at the blues city cafe. Some times it is amazing, other times not so much.
My snoring has gotten worse.
Hubby ordered some sound blocking ear inserts that will come in soon.
I have been trying to lie differently on my pillow to see if it helps and I think it has.

Seeing my family was great. Only my parents canceled christmas so I did not get to see them.hopefully when folks are vacinnated we will get to see them again. They are in their 80's and are just being super cautious.
I got on the scale and am very upset by the numbers. This is the heaviest I have ever been.
Every one was so generous to us for christmas.
It was good seeing Brian hubby's brother.

He was mentally exhausted from the selling of the house. WE stayed for the closing of the house. It was so nice to meet the buyers. A young couple. The house had new paint through out the house and newly sanded floors/finished, they looked beautiful. New screened in back porch . new electrical wiring newish plumbing, new roof new heater/air conditioning. more foundation repair. they finally sold it for $205. there had been 3 families of raccoons in the attics and they had created a mess. eating thru the insulation and wiring.It was a mess!That was the first repair clean up job. It took 9 months to finally get the house emptied and ready to sell.
It was on the market only 3 weeks.They had it staged(bring in furniture and accessories to give the buyers an idea of what their belongings would look like). once they did this the house sold in less than a week. It is what sold the house.

Brian, jeffs brother, did so much work on the house himself too.
glad that is behind him. Although he has a lot of her things that he could not get rid of.Every room in his house has things that are hers that he can't get rid of. He wants to move south, He lives 5 minutes away from his moms house, to be closer to her. Now that she is gone and the house is sold he can get on with his life. He wants to move from INDY to hattiesburg Mississippi. We asked him to move to lafayette Louisiana where we live. He is not sure where he wants to live. he needs to find a job.
Jeff and I will open up our gifts to each other and my birthday presents.
Last night we stopped and ate at our favorite restaurant in baton rouge. new orleans style BBQ shrimp. IT was delicious, and had a good sour beer that I liked a lot.
Need to get moving the house is a mess with all of our stuff everywhere and my stuff that needds to be put back into my car.
the weather is in the 40's 50's. but I feel really chilled to the bone....need to get dressed and ready to go to lunch at chris' poor boys for their gumbo.
May we all be blessed with good health and may this prove to be a better year. So long 2020, hello 2021.

Adventures!

I, too, am at the heaviest I've ever been - by far. I'd completely stopped Seroquel and lost 20 lbs. in 3 weeks. It was a very pleasant surprise. Had so much sleep trouble that I went back in Seroquel and almost immediately gained 20+ back. It's very discouraging.

  • It was quiet for a new years eve. We watched the ball drop twice once for 11pm in new york where were about 300 families first responders and their family's then watched the new orleans with a Fleur de lis at midnight. It wasn't that cold so that was good.






    Prior to that we ate at blues city cafe for some bbq.then the flying saucer for beers (they closed down at 10) we walked back to the hampton inn where we were staying.

day 4 af
my scrubs are so tight I feel like I have a corset on, it is so unprofessional.
I am trying to eat smaller portions, trying is the key word and not snack at night.
I have not snacked because I was on line most of the evening when I should have done some paperwork. I procrastinate so badly now.
ok time to get some ear buds so I can listen to the cooking competitions while I walk on the tred mill. My excuse for not going to planet fitness because my head set cord is wrapped up in my seat and I can't pull it out.
Brian my brother in law is in the same boat as me.
he is on day 2. He confided that he almost went and bought a gallon jug of sangria but did not. I congratulated him.
habits are hard to break.

I am down a couple of pounds this week and feel a bit better. my bottoms feel fine it is the tops that are crushing. I bought x-L bottoms months ago.

bizi I have them embroided with the name of my business and name.
I will lose this weight. I am determined.
hubby just gave me his old ear buds that look comfy. So now I have no excuse but to go, it is .9 miles away from my house. I will go tonight after dinner.

Thank you fuzzy!
I am working tomorrow, ( have to take a shower if all goes well.)

get enough sleep not ignore or snooze the alarm.
You know how much I hate to take showers.
I have lost a couple of pounds this week, 5 days af.
I actually went to the gym to walk on the tred mill.

I made a mile and spend 10 minutes on the hydro bed.
I forgot how much I like that. that will be my reward for

going to the gym. Jeff gave me some ear buds

so I can listen to one of the shows there are 5 different channels.
I use to watch the cooking competitions. But they did not have

them on. they closed at 9pm on fridays. So I had time to do the hydro bed.

I loved it. They are different since I was there last 6 months ago.
they are really a chair, lounger like.
anyway So far so good on the not drinking this week.
Am also eating less, better food choices.
Had carrot ginger soup and poppy seed chopped kale salad kit.

Jeff had tabouli and clam chowder.
I work a full day tomorrow 4 clients.
I will still have time to get my gumbo tomorrow.
Jeff bought fancy ear plugs,

did I tell you already? then are charged up and last 3 days,
he listens to tranquil cascade, rain, drone sounds etc.
He can't hear my snoring which is great for him and relieves

me of my guilt of my snoring.
I am needing to get ready for bed. It was a very good
x-files tonight.

My diet includes all of the foods I like swapping up veggies for starchy foods.
Like this morning I still had my BELT but swapped the brown potatoes for brocolli.

They let you do that. Which is great the brocolli was steamed and very fresh tasting.
I was up to 202 last weekend and the scale said 196.3, my stomach
is not as bloated as it has been,
have been trying to suck in my gut so my scrubs top don't look so tight.
I have a doctors appointment next week my GP.
She will not be happy with my weight gain.
My labs are already on line so she must have seen

them the only thing that is high is my total cholesterol

but my HDL is high and the ratio looks great.
my Calcium level is 10 which is on the high end of normal 10.2.
my thyroid level was good.
my bone density showed some osteopenia in my lumber spine not good.

IT has a large area of results that put you into osteopenia so I should
not worry about it. I could not read the grafts on the radiology report.
kidneys/liver are both fine.
there was some areas on my mri of my head that are questionable to me.
I can't remember what it said but it had to do with small micro bleeds.
I need to look at that again before I see her.

I saw my family gp this morning. I like her she really listens to me.
I asked about linzess for constipation because I don't like taking

800mg of colace a day and now it is not working. I stuck a suppository

up as far as I could go and did not reach any thing.held it in and after
about an hour I went to the bath room and nothing came out.
sigh
I stopped drinking for now on jan 4 and that is when I started thinking
about dieting. So I have lost a good 5 pounds in 10 days.
I will be getting the covid vaccine soon I am on the list for an appointment.
I tried several assisted living to see if they would allow me to get them thru
them and they said no only staff who for them. I called the covid number
and they said they are not taking any more appointments at this time.

So I was really lucky to get put on this list as at first they said no.

My pharmacy is one of the administering sights. 5 blocks from my home.

So it will be really convenient for me. they call you with an appointment time.
my back has been bothering me so I need to pay attention to it.

maybe I will lie down on my lotus mat.
love you
bizi
I made it to planet fitness 3 times in 10 days. tonight I went and walked 1.5 miles.

Your weight loss is inspiring. I exercise, eat less, and still don't lose weight - I know it's because I'm taking Seroquel for sleep. It's very frustrating.

I signed up to get the vaccine asap, too. I signed up at my health clinic, so I'm hoping my turn comes up by March, at least.

weight was 193.8 this morning down from 202 January 3rd..
That is 8 pounds in 2 weeks. AF for 12 days.

I will take it. Intemittant fasting, no snacking after dinner, 2 meals a day like usual. no alcohol, lower carbs.

It is working for me.

went to panera for dinner used a christmas gift card.
hubby had a grain bowl that he did not like because

it had so much rice.
He also had the brocolli and cheese soup with bread.

I had a chicken green goddess salad with avocado

and an egg. spring mix greens, bacon. I ordered the
large one because I was hungry. Ate the whole thing.
It was delicious.
I tried the apple that I subbed for bread and it was

mushy. yuck so I did not eat that.
When I am dieting....I am always thinking of my next meal.
Tomorrow will be BELT bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato
on rye bread not toasted with extra mayo on both sides
of the bread and a side of steamed brocolli.
(instead of potatoes.)
I love to eat!!!!!!!!!

I am going to a dinner party tonight.
so will be hard to be social and not drinking.
I have social anxiety issues and may take .5mg of klonipin for anxiety.
Have enough to do that and I am allowed to take .5mg in the morning.
there will be 6 of us, maybe we will eat out side????
Am wearing long underwear and wool socks but it
feels like 60 outside.
Need to go put another load in the dryer.
I have been procrastinating doing work for my business again.
It is not any fun but needs to get done.
