DAY 76

Ok, can i please tell you guys how HUNGRY i have been for the past 2 days? Let alone, the nagging headache i have had since yesterday afternoon. <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_2_61.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"> Needless to say, i did not get any exercise in yesterday AT ALL. I was unable to get my butt outta bed 30-45mins earlier to go do a dvd. I figured i could do it yesterday evening with no problem. Then with such a hectic day at work, my headache started...and continued. I am still going to get my workout in tonight, regardless of this headache. Some say that exercise relieves headaches, i have trouble even THINKING of exercise if my head hurts. Unfortunately, i have no choice, i planned an every other day exercise plan and since i didn't exercise yesterday...well, you know! now back to this hunger thing...WTH? I don't want to try to add an additional shake yet. I really want my body to get used to what it is doing and i want to be able to guage my weightloss first. I know additional supplements are recommended when strenuous exercise is added in but it's not like i am doing an hour of super aerobics and a bunch of weight training or anything. Even though i only got in 2 days of exercise (well, 3 counting tonight"s, yet to be done), i am hoping that the scale has a wonderful surprise for me in the morning. I hope i am going to see the fruits of my labor. Even if it isn't a huge difference from non-exercise weeks, i will still keep with it, everything needs an adjustment period.

I have been poppin in and out all day today, just to see what has been going on. Things have seemed kinda quiet on the forum today. I haven't done a lot of posting yesterday or today. I have been trying to catch up on all of this housework that i have been avoiding. We (my son and i) are trying to prepare everything to paint. I may be putting the cart before the horse because i still am not sure of the colors i will use. Either way, there is so much stuff to be done, clearing un-needed, unused items. Jeez, how does all of this stuff accumulate? Hopefully, i will be able to pick up again with posting tomorrow.

Hi Erica !
I am an Aries too ! I just love how others think your name is ovaries !! Anyway, hang in there...We can all get to our goals with this great website. I was on Medifast about 15 years ago and you could only get it from your doctor and it was very expensive... This is so much better...We can support each other ! Long ago I lost 6o pounds on MF but had NO support group and gained it all back... I recall how great I feel when on the plan and how great it feels to lose and change clothing sizes !! Have a great night and know you are not alone !!

CIAO !

DAY 77

Ok, well at least my headache is just about gone. It's really light, but enuff to let me know that it's still around. I am happy with my loss of 3.3lbs even tho, honestly, i expected more. Here are my OP numbers so far:

End Week #
wk 1 -5.8
wk 2 -6.5
wk 3 -0.7
wk 4 -0.8
wk 5 -2.5 (post Thanksgiving)
wk 6 -3.4
wk 7 -2.8
wk 8 -2.8
wk 9 -3.5
wk 10 -0.1 (post Christmas! Yuck!)
wk 11 -3.3


I was hoping that with adding in exercise, i was gonna get one of those 5+lb weeks. Oh well, like i said, i am not going to stop yet. I wanna let my body get used to it. We'll see what losses next week brings before i make a final decision. Besides, the more i lose, the "softer" i get. And i don't like THAT feeling. Boy, i have really missed this place. This was a very busy weekend for me (proved by not checking in for roll call til 6:30pm). Normally, roll call is the first thing i would do, right after weighing, of course. This morning, i was up, on the scale, in the shower, out the door. Almost felt like workdays as opposed to a weekend.

Anyhoo, i think my resistances is a little low. I missed several days of my vitamins this past week on top of running since Friday in and out of the freezing cold. I'm feeling kinda sniffley. HEY KATIE, HOW YA LIKE THIS 15-20 DEGREE WEATHER????? A little warmer today. And go figure, it's supposed to be like 65 degrees on Tuesday. Better get the sniffles under control now. Maybe that is what has been the problem with the headache. Maybe it has actually be a sinus headache and that is why regular Motrin was not working. Well, i get ready to face this week with expected stress at work, homelife is crazy right now too. Jeez, i HAVE to make this slow down.

I am not happy at all about this weather. Yesterday was 15 degrees and I went to bring my son to his friends house today, I got all bundled up only to sweat my behind off. YUCK. I know 65 pn tuesday.. Thank goodness I got my flu shot this year. My husband is actually sick right now I told him he should of gotten his flu shot.

I guess you gotta be an aries to know what it is!!! When's your b-day? I'm April 8th. This b-day will be 2 yrs since i first joined this forum. It's comforting to know that even tho i have not made it to my goal weight yet (after all this time and many restarts...), everyone here is still so supportive. Good luck to the both of us and everyone else out there!

DAY 78

hey guys!!! I'm still around and i am so upset that i have not had the time to post like i had been. I didn't get to exercise tonight...the headache is BACK with a vengeance. I did make it through the exercise the other day and it seemed to temporarily make the headache a little worse. I m pretty sure its my sinuses, i am pretty congested today. This weather is CRAZY over here in jersey. Today it was about 65 degrees. Although it was BEAUTIFUL outside, it did a number on my head! As of today, i was up (slightly) on the scale. Once again, i am doing nothing different, so NO WORRIES. I am really glad to see so many starters and re-starters. For those that i don't get to welcome or welcome back, my well wishes are stil there. I have all good intentions, i just don't know how many places i will get the chance to visit on limited time...OFF TO TRY!

Erica, there are some nasty viruses going around that are settling in the sinuses and also causing bronchitis, so don't push yourself to exercise or doing anything else strenuous until you feel better, k? (I'm in that mom mode again. ). I hope you feel better soon.

thanks T! You were checkin in on me as i was checkin in on you! Believe me, the last thing i need right now is to be really sick on top of everything else i have going on. So the plan is to take it easy tonight and see how i am feeling tomorrow. Doesn't seem like anything too serious yet, a little congestion and a sinus headache. But that's usually how it starts, right?

[ChynnaDoll]

T is right girl..take it easy, the exercise will be there when u feeling better. I wanted to let you know i DID do my exercise late evening yesterday...was in church most of the mornng and part of the afternoon...i play for 2 different churches. I see see our cohart has bailed out on'us..i sure hope she'll reconsider tho:+) I have been praying that i don't inherit my dear hubbies cold he's had all week..been snort'n and carrying'on and sneezing all around me..SHUCKS!..i KNOW i'ma get'it.

Ok partner TTYL!

[aquarianskye]

Keep it going girl! Hope that headache is finally gone!

[rodeomom]

Hey there, thanks for stopping by my journal to say howdy! Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Make sure to get pleanty of good fluids into your body to help you with that sinus junk. Take it easy for now and let your body use your strength to get better. The video work outs will be there when you feel better.
