Hanging in there

Weight is about the same. I have felt SO GOOD physically. I feel kind of sad that I haven't taken off with this and just been back. to. the. gym. I was an extra in a play which was an amazing experience and I thought to myself, "I will take the play performance and rehearsal time and use it in the gym." I knew that would be the solution to all my ills...ill - yep. I got something pretty much right after the play ended. A killer migraine, then a scratchy throat and I've been sort of yucky since. I took a time release decongestant today and came home after work and pretty quickly went to sleep for two hours.

I'm going to rest the remainder of this week, then go on a trip this weekend and when I come back I am going to the YMCA!! I will return and report.

Twelve months

Forty pounds in the next twelve months will get me to my goal weight.

1st mini goal is 180 by the end of February... I had dipped into the 180s when I was sick, but I seem to have settled back into 190 - 191.

1st daily goal, no more soda for the rest of August.

Ugh-ly way to lose weight

I'm so tired of being ill. It seems like it is always one thing or another. This past six weeks or so has been digestive issues. I have lost several pounds and am consistently in the low 190s, dependent on swelling.  The problem is that I've lost it by being nauseated a lot of the time, actually vomiting once or twice a week. Two Sundays ago I was so ill I couldn't even keep down my ginger ale. I ended up calling Debbie and asking her to take me to Urgent Care. They gave me a shot of phenergan to immediately stop the nausea. They also gave a prescription in pill form. I've only taken it once. The info (and commentary) states it will cause extreme drowsiness. It didn't seem to do that for me. I slept after I took it, but had extreme nightmares. I have an appt in June to see a GI doctor. Until today I had secretly planned to cancel it. Today, however I went back to nothing sounding good to eat. Finally I thought mashed potatoes sounded good. I made some and ate them and one and a half small sausage patties I had cooked to freeze for future ease.  I've been feeling disgusting ever sense. All I have consumed today is one can of Sprite, one small packet of fruit snacks, a gluten free ginger cookie and the above mentioned. Even typing about it makes me feel sicker. Ugh.

Here I go again!

I'm going to try to start writing more and try to start writing more in this blog!

I'm having swelling issues again. I started drinking soda again. I've gone mostly gluten-free since January. I've lost some more weight.

Here are health related goals. I had set a movement goal for April of 520 minutes. My kidney infection came back, however and I spent a shit-ton of time in bed last week. All I can do is keep going from here and see how close I get. Also back to no soda. Also no lemonade, which is like a major sacrifice for me in the summer. There is a good little packet thing that is sweetened with Stevia, but it's very expensive, but I will allow that.

That's all for now.
