Okay, well, the weigh in wasn't as bad as I thought. Still, its bad enough...and makes me realize that I can't just take time off from taking care of myself.

The knee is better today. Trying to do things the "natural" way just wasn't working. I had upped my fish oil (which helps with inflamation) and tried to put ice on it frequently. But finally yesterday I caved in and took an ibuprofen before bed. Another when I got up this morning and by late afternoon I could walk with hardly any pain (first time in about six days!). I am taking another one tonight. I am ABSOLUTELY convinced that this is all about weight. If I lose a little I KNOW my knee will feel better. In the meantime, ibuprofen is my friend. I promise that after I lose 20lbs, if it isn't better, I will go to the doctor. But I talked to my dr. friend today and he said I can be on the ibuprofen until then, so no worries.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Day One of my new challenge to get moving!!! Babysat for my two nieces tonight and took them for a 20 minute walk. Would like to be doing some kind of exercise that is just for me...a way to get away from the normal obligations of my life and actually focus on myself for once. But that isn't probably going to happen this week, so I'm just trying to squeeze it in where I can. The weekend should be better.

Will weigh in on Friday and start induction on Saturday. I was thinking of doing an induction challege. There don't seem to be many low-carb challenges going on right now.

My knee is really killing me....I think just a product of being overweight. So that gives me the incentive to get some more weight off...but it also makes it harder to move. Maybe swimming would be a good option until it starts feeling better. NOTE TO SELF - check into water aerobics classes in the area....or just open pool times.

OMG! I haven't been on here since FEBRUARY!!! Where did the time go?? I was so busy with school and then when right into a caretaking role for the summer....needless to say, I haven't taken care of myself. Haven't weighed myself for a very long time. I will do that at the end of this week and get some catching up done.

Induction will restart for me this weekend. Am getting prepared. Feel like crap. I have ate so bad...especially just the last few weeks. Before that, I think I did pretty well most of the time. But, we'll see what the scale says.

Gonna spend a little time catching up with my old friends and seeing where they all are...and I may check out the challenges and join a couple, too.

So, here I am...back...and ready to go again. Did ya all miss me? I see by the MANY messages in my inbox that I have some good friends here. I have missed the support this place (and all of you) give me. I need you to wrap your arms around me again and then take that ho-ho out of my hand and stomp on it!!! ha!

Hi Everyone!!!

I've missed you all! I hope all is good on the diet and health front for everyone. I can't wait to spend some time catching up on some journals.

I am so sorry that I have been gone for almost two weeks!! ARGHH!! I joined all of these challenges and then, just like that, I disappeared. I have just been so busy with school...I didn't have time to fool around on here....And boy, did I miss it! Well, today I handed in a huge project and I thought, "What do I want to do to reward myself?" And the answer was, "Check in with my FS buddies and get up to date on all the happenings." So here I am.

Diet wise, I am doing pretty well. Started induction again (I joined a challenge, after all. And even though I didn't check in here, I was true to the challenge!! :) ). That has been going pretty good. I'll weigh in tomorrow, so we'll see how that has gone. I did eat a couple onion rings at lunch today...but overall, I've pretty much stuck to it.

I'm eating a lot of nuts. They are portable and easy food on the go. Which is hard to find on Atkins. And since I'm going a lot, it has become a basic food group for me. I know that is probably slowing down losses..but its better than the alternative would be - which is to grab chips and sandwiches. And they are satisfying, so a handful takes me a long ways.

That's about it for me. Nothin else but school work in my life these days. I don't know how people work on their master's degree and have full time jobs. I am only working 25-30 hours a week and taking three classes and I am completely overwelmed. I constantly feel like I'm behind. But I'm beginning to realize that I can do this, too. Last night we got back an assignment in our research class. I was disappointed that I got 13 out of 15 points. I am used to getting perfect grades most of the time - especially when it involves writing or analytical writing. But during the break I talked to the other students in the class and I realized I must have gotten the best grade in the class. So I was feeling pretty good when I left.

Have a good evening all!! Its good to be back!!
