posterchild66's Journal, 20 January 2012

Back to the Red! Grrr! 248 again, I am on a mini roller coaster and I do not like it.

I keep gaining weight. Perhaps its a good sign now that I am up and moving around and gaining muscle. Muscle weights more than fat! I really hate that phrase, 1 lb of fat weighs the same as 1 lb of muscle. Duh, its 1 pound! What people should say is muscle is more dense than fat.

Maybe you can tell, I am not in the best spirits today.

Who am I kidding, i have not been eating the best food (need to log better too). Last night I had a plate of fried rice (homemade with chicken and veggies). It was good, but probably too much. Also have been snacking more than usual at work. Pretzels with salt too. I have also been forgetting my supplement pills. So not many things being done right the past few days, and it is showing in my weight. I can also tell with my activity being increased, so has my appetite. So there may be something to say about laziness after all :-).

Also found out last night my mother in-law who was recently found to have some cancer in her colon, has much worse news. The cancer has spread to her liver too. So that is not good news at all. She used to live with us for like 15 years, helped raise our kids and was generally part of our household until we moved overseas. She wont ride airplanes, or she would be here. In hind sight, its a great thing she is not here because the medical care here is 3rd world at best. Anyway, more will be revealed Monday. Lets pray for a miracle.

Gratitude, where is it today..
I am grateful for my family, someone to hold onto in tough times.
I am grateful for kitty, who I have to lock out of our room to get sleep, but I still love her.
I am grateful for my kids.
I am grateful for my journey, and I have a place to share my feelings!
I am grateful for my job.
I am grateful for my tub, so I can get a gimp bath in it. lol
I am grateful for medical insurance.

Have a good day. I am gonna try and turn this boat around to a better one.

/Cheers, JP

Hey JP, sorry to read that you're back in the red. I know it can be tough to focus on doing things right, especially when you're not too mobile. However, your earlier progress (and today's journal) shows that you DO know what you need to be doing. It's just a matter of clearing away the bumps in the road and get back to where things matter. If I were you I would start getting RIGID about logging food. That's your first step. Nothing enters your mouth before it enters your log. You'll see, this step alone may be all you need. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Did you get my inbox message with the link? :)

Could be something as silly as too much sodium in the fried rice. I always drink extra water when I eat Chinese type food. Just stick with it, your doing great.
