yep, see it now.


My goals for the week. I'll add to them later!

1) 3000calories deficient
2) log food every day
3) gallon of water a day
4) workout 3 times (this may depend on what the MRI reveals)

Mike: Are you okay?! MRI?! What have I missed?! I hope that it turns out well!

wghtloser: Welcome! you can do it!

One thing that I will say is that I am kind of worried about you burning 1000 cals from exercise a day. I used to do that and I kind of became a psycho. So basically what I'm saying is: Please take care of yourself. While it might feel good to lose a bunch of weight quickly, it is more healthy to lose it slowly.

I tweaked my SI joint and now it has my sciatic nerve in a bind. Daily chiropractic treatment for the past week and a half have done nothing. Now he wants an MRI to see if it's a bigger issue, like a cyst.

Oh no! Well, optimist time: At least you're in such better physical condition now that you will be able to recover that much faster!

Wowee, what a day! I always feel guilty when I complain about being overworked, because there are definitely times when it's frighteningly slow (self-employed), but does everyone have to need everything on the same day, and let me know at the last possible second ?

I got up the courage to get back on the scale today. I'm 3, 3 1/2 pounds over where I like to be, 2 pounds over where I feel comfortable. But after the weeks of poor choices, I do deserve it. I had a good recovery week under my belt last week (literally ), so I hope to keep going.

This week's going to be crazy, so I'm keeping it simple!

1. Calories 1200-1300.
2. Exercise 6 times.
3. Sleep 7 hours a night.
4. Weigh in daily.
5. Smile more, bitch less

I've got a bunch of little stuff to accomplish this week, but I'm striving to keep the goals to a minimum and I'm just going to work off my "to do" list as time permits. I'm feeling pretty well caught up and I'm just going to pace the rest of i.

Glad to see you all; mhibdon, thanks for posting the pic. I love it; you look so serene!

quinnesec

Did really well until 5 p.m. and then was invited out to dinner at the last minute. No good menu choices, so I kind of went along with what everyone else ordered and blew it.



Food and Fitness:

1. 1200 calories/day average. Not going to even try to figure out.
2. Walk two miles per day minimum, weather permitting. 1 mile. (back issue)
3. LOG EVERYTHING! No.
4. Take multivitamin, flax and vitamin E daily. Yes.


Personal Stuff:

Be patient with our new family schedule with daughter home for summer break. Be flexible. Remember that the house isn't going to stay picked up and perfect... it just isn't. (What's the saying... "It is what it is"? ) Yes
