A horrible week...

I have always had problems with my knees, since a skiing accident at 14. A couple bike accidents at 15 didn't help either. The pain and swelling have never really lasted more then a few days but this time it has lasted 2 weeks. The swelling is finally down but the pain is more then I can live with. I've been to the doctor over and over. Have been putting off the inevitable MRI and probably knee surgurey.
On top of it all Devyn, my 9 yr old, has been home sick all week. Which throws everything off, including my eating habits. Not out of control or totally horrible but not my usual eating every few hours. So tired by the end of the night that I don't hear anything and that's not like me at all. I have always heard the kids. Even when they just go to the washroom, I hear it. Last night my daughter was sick and crying and I didn't hear a thing. Then to top it all off I wake up totally exhausted.
So I haven't worked out at all in 10 days. Which will explain way I gained 1.2 pnds...Grrrrrrrr.
I have a doctors appt. on Tuesday, so I guess we'll go from there.

Week 3 weight - 161.2 pnds

Will have to work harder next week. Eat more, get in a workout or two, if I can manage the pain.

Switching it up...

Well...disappeared for a while...a long while. Nothing was working and I got so frustrated so I ditched the diet thing completely. My life got really hectic and I was exhausted. It's time to get back on track. I can't go back on a low carb diet. I've tried and tried but my willpower to do it just isn't there. So I'm going to switch it all up a bit. I started watching my calories more. Which I never did before at all. I am still watching my carbs 2 days a week. The rest of the week is more watching my calories. So far so good...

Starting weight - 165.8
Week 1 weight - 163.4
Week 2 weight - 160.0

Haven't seen my weight change in months and am surprised at how much better my jeans fit with just 5 pnds gone. As long as it keeps going I will be really happy. My knees have been really bad this week so I haven't been working out this week...maybe next week will be better.

Grey Cup on Sunday...yay. Were having a bunch of friends over. Should be fun. Will be cheering for Saskatchewan!!!!

Have a good one:)

Great weekend...

Well it was Wrestlemania 25 this weekend. That says it all...my diet went out the window. Chicken wings...one good, one bad, dried ribs, veggies...not bad so far, shrimp with a little cocktail sauce...still doing good. Had some garlic sausage and cheese and a few tortilla chips. The bad part was the booze. Tried to stick to a few vodka's and diet Pepsi but there was some new VEX Bananatini's ...had to try it. Well 1 turned into 4...definitely MY BAD...

All else is good. About as packed as were going to get for now...it's nice to see such an empty basement. Can't wait...

Make it a good one...

Another week gone by...

I can't believe were into spring break...The kids are home which throws my whole routine into chaos. I can't seem to find time to do anything around here, never mind more cleaning, more meals to cook and more refereeing. They are absolutely driving me nuts. Life...who knew. I never thought it could get this crazy, busy all the time, nothing is ever clean for more then 30 minutes. No time to just sit and relax...except after the kids go to bed and by then I'm so tired I just want to go to bed...I feel like I'm on a merry go round that just won't slow down or stop to let me off.

Anyway...I find I'm not eating on schedule, which always leave it's mark. I'm not going near that scale until...the next time I weigh in. Friday I guess, maybe, we'll see...ahhhh I don't know. I guess we'll see when Friday gets here. So nothing is planned for the rest of the week, which is not a good thing. I started this week with everything planned, all meals and what I needed to accomplish everyday. I have the Salvation Army picking up on Thursday and I still have clothes to go through in the basement, which should be done already according to my plan. Why do all my plans go out the window....?????

Ah, life goes on...
Make it a good one...

Feeling Better...

Well this whole week has been a little off. Feeling better...then not so good, it's been like that all week. Yesterday I woke feeling so much better though and that lasted all day. Today I am back...I feel like me again. I did my weigh in.

Down 2.6lbs
28.5 lbs to go.

Probably due to me being sick and not eating as much as I should have been. Anyway...back to the grindstone. I have been so craving spaghetti and meatball stoup...I think I'll do that tonight and head back to total low carb tomorrow. The rest of the week hasn't been anything spectacular. Really have to start writing everyday again. Time just seems to get away from me. With all the packing and organizing...oh and the shopping. Our dining room is loaded with stuff. We got rid of our old table...and I mean old...lol Now we have a new set of bunk beds and 2 loft beds from Ikea...but I found them second hand and they look brand new...half price. We have a new table sitting in it's box. All my new pots and pans are boxed up. I bought matching duvet covers and pillowcases for the girls room.

I talked my daughter out of painting her room green...yay me. I told her she could by pillows and her duvet cover and maybe a rug in green. My son doesn't care about the color as long as it isn't pink, which it is right now...lol. I'm still trying to figure out how to fit the bunks, 2 dressers and a bookshelf into the girls room. I don't think there going to fit. I guess we'll see.

That's all for now...
Make it a good one...
