madaboutmoose's Journal, 26 April 2013

Well I decided to go ahead and post a weight. It is the same today as yesterday, but DOWN from where I started on Monday which was 210.something. Maybe I'll put that in too just so it shows the progress. I was hoping for yet another drop today but nope. Felt lousy yesterday all day. Headache, upset tummy, just icky. DH thinks it was due to toxins leaving my body. I've had a few bites of food through the week but mostly juice. I did indeed load my body up with tons of toxins during my trip to California and then my birthday celebration. It's funny, once I start eating stuff I shouldn't eat I have a hard time stopping. That is one thing I've learned over the years of being here on Fatsecret.

Looks like the sun is shining today and DH is off work. I have 5 hours or so I need to put in but I think I'll do that from home. I do feel better today but really don't want to make the drive into the office. I don't have any appointments scheduled so it isn't a stretch to work from home.

We have our celebration on Sunday. I've been perusing the PF Chang menu for choices and nutritional values. Some decent choices and then ... holy cow ... some incredibly high calorie choices like crispy green beans are over 1000 calories for an appetizer??? Must be they are fried. I don't know if I'll make wise choices or not. I still have time to decide.

I have mixed feelings. I had hoped to be under 200 by Valentines Day and here I am PAST my birthday day and still OVER 200. Should I be upset? Probably not. I'm holding my own, so to speak and if I can embrace my philosophy of the joy being in the journey not the destination I should feel pretty good. I have clothes to wear, I'm certainly not the heaviest I've ever been and I haven't thrown in the towel. Those are all good things. I imagine eventually I'll be where I'd like to be in terms of weight. I'm such an ALL or NOTHING type of person.

Grateful for

Sunshine
Payday
Less tension at home
Flexible job
Sleep
Looking forward to Sunday

Time to check in at the bank and pay bills!!! Oh joy!!! Have a great day my friends.

You're doing great! Keep it up! I'm just hovering at 24 lbs lost, and making 25 pounds my goal by Monday. Keep your goals short and sweet, and then they're easier to reach. And even if you don't reach the exact goal, you'll at least have gotten partway there, and that's better than not trying at all! :-) Have a great weekend, and enjoy your celebration!

Considering the journey you have been on since the new year you are to be congratulated on being ONLY 205 lb. As you say, the joy is in the journey and look at all the friends you have on FS. Hope you continue to feel better and that it is just the toxins leaving you. You could also be sodium depleted or some other such thing if you are only drinking juice. Feel better hun and enjoy your week-end. Hopefully you can find something 'healthy' on the menu but you definitely need to have some alcohol to celebrate too.

Good to see you. I live pf changs. Always nice to have a special occasion to celebrate. Given the recent struggles I think your scale is singing : )
