20 September 2007

Been really tired lately, but can't seem to sleep. Woke up at 4:30 am! Guess I'm just worrying about hubby. Problems with tummy ranging from constipation to looseness with bouts of stomach cramping. Not sure if I have another stomach flu or if I never got over it in the first place. Or it could just be bad case of nerves. I have been trying to exercise a bit to get rid of the stomach flab whenever I'm not too tired and taking hot baths does help the tummy aches.
The hardest bits are trying to figure out what to feed hubby and keep him from being grumpy. He's been so grouchy and when I nag him about drinking water he knows it for the best but he growls and then drinks it. When he behaves, he barks, signifying he's being a good dog! It drives me crazy!!! Well, my best to all and hope everyone is hanging in there. My weight is the last thing on my mind right now, I'll check in later when things are less hectic. Love to all!

Well, haven't been following diet at all, so what can I expect. Hubby just got diagnosed with gout, so now we have to watch the protein intake and dark green veggies. With my diabetes and both our high cholesterol this doesn't leave me with very much to eat so I should be losing lots of weight!

Kind of tired these days. Will try to post more often but I've been so beat lately, haven't felt up to it. Hope everyone is doing well. Take care!

Hello! Had a flu-bug for almost a week so I didn't eat much resulting in a bit of weight loss. Not exactly the ideal way to lose weight since you feel so lousy. At any rate, I think my stomach shrank from not eating, so my appetite is way down.

I actually feel a lot better today than I have in the last few weeks. I got my hair cut, that always cheers me up and hubby helped me with a pedicure (isn't he sweet!) It was just one of those "stick on" types.

Things have been going well, my businesses are doing great. I've started a new business, renting out and dressing children, teens, adults in kimonos for photo shoots.

I'll be dancing at Descanso Gardens in La Canada on Nov. 4th with dance group Fujima Kansuma Kai (Hubby is "emcee-ing"). It's a very nice show, we perform there every November.

Also starting a bone china painting class in Sept. Can't recall if I mentioned it before, but I saw it at the Orange County Fair (there were some demonstations) and it is just SOooo Lovely! I just HAVE to learn how to do it! Kind of excited about it.

Phew, I'm tired just writing about all the stuff going on right now! Thanks for "listening". Hope everyone is doing great. I'll check in on your journals as I get more time. My sister-in-law and hubby are coming over to stay for the long weekend so I'll be kind of busy. Take care all!

Oh, I've been bad. I got stressed b/c hubby had kidney stone surgery on Thursday which took 2 hours, it was bigger and stuck and had been lodged for over 3 weeks. Dr thought it would come out on it's own but they had to go in and lucky thing they did b/c there was blood and pus stuck behind the stone which could have gotten infected. Fortunately, he got it out but that left a host of other possible problems like blood clotting, urethra collapsing and possible infections. He had a lot of vicodin and antibiotices which caused constipation and he was uncomfortable for a long while.

In the meantime, I was stressing and just trying to get him to eat his favorite things so of course I ended up eating a bag of chips, ice cream and pasta. Dear me, I'm back up to 169 today. Oh well, at least he is feeling better today and there was less blood in his urine.

Sorry to talk about such gross things, just kind of wanted to get things out (ha ha) and probably feel safest venting here. Don't have brothers or sisters and parents both deceased. I'm an orphan (again--I was adopted). Anyhoo, things are better and I'll probably hop back on the bandwagon on SBD tomorrow. Will try to get back on Phase 1 to start over.

I did get a chance to talk to some of my friends, but you know how it is when they're all skinny, they don't understand how stress makes you eat. And even if they do, they don't gain weight. Why do I have such skinny friends? Do they hang around me cuz' I'm fat? Am I looking at this in a bad way? Probably, guess I can't help it when feeling down. Sorry again for venting.

Sigh. Well, I'll probably feel better tomorrow, cuz the "sun'll come up Tomorrow... blah blah blah...." I think I'm going crazy. Just kidding.

Take care all, stay healthy!!!

Love,

Yuko Shibata

I'm having trouble with weigh-ins, they don't record! Who do I tell? Okay, I think I figured it out, I just sent a message to "contact" below. Is anyone else having trouble with this?
