  I weighed/measured in this morning for the Survivor challange and it’s exactlly the same as last week. It’s like this week never happened All 7 days of counting calories didn’t make a difference, working out and the bonus workouts I did for the twist this week didn’t change anything. And while I’m happy I didn’t gain, it’s kinda sad that there was no change. I can’t blame it on TOM, or anything else, but I know I didn’t work to my full potentional because of this damn headache (yes, it’s still here) I’m going to make a dr’s appointment this week (if I can get in before thanksgiving) Something is off for me to have a headache this strong for over a week now. I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong with me, but maybe it’s time for the doctor to try to figure it out cause I can’t.

This headache will not go away!!!!! It’s making me wanna shoot my self! I’ve had a headache since Sunday and I can’t figure out what’s causing it. It seems to be ok in the morning, but right after lunch I’m dying. It hurts so bad (and the other day it got so bad I could hardly turn my head) I’m talking in my temples kinda throbing, it’s really intense. Tylenol and Motirn aren’t touching it and I can’t pin point what is bringing it on. I’m eating a pretty balanced diet, my eyes have recently been checked… I just can’t figure it out!

I’m just feeling so blah right now, I haven’t done any exercise today and that could be the reason for the blahness, but I’m really sore from all the extra work I’ve been doing lately (the Survivor girls are really kicking my ass this week!) and although I worked out the past couple of days with this headache, I just can’t do it tonight…

I did it!!!! Not only did I lose the 3lbs that I had gained, I lost another one of top of that! I’m soooo excited! Yesterday was a really good day for me, not only did I have a great weigh in (and lost 6 inches!) I also got my baby fixed!!! No more treadmill withdrawal for me! I went 3 days with out it and I missed it more than I ever thought I would! So my friend came over to help me fix it and while we were playing with it, I decided that I wanted to learn more about the incline (it has a manual incline) well I read the book (I should have done that a long time ago lol!) and learned how to adjust it. So after it was all fixed I decided to get on and do my work out, and it was much easier than it was before. I checked out the incline and I realised that I have been working out on an incline this whole time hahaha! I was working harder than I thought! Whooo hoo!

Why do people suggest rewards of crappy food when you loss weight? After my friend and I were done working on my treadmill he suggested going out for pizza, I said I couldn’t (thank you Angel for making that deal with me!!! I wouldn’t have any will power to say no with out it!) And he said, “come on you lost 4lbs you can have a piece of pizza, it won’t hurt.” I said to him… that’s like telling an acholic that “Hey, you’ve been sober for 30 days, let’s celebrate by having a drink” haha! That sure shut him up! So I’m really proud of my self, not only did I turn down the temptation, but I made it even better by spending the time I could have been eating junk food with him, on my treadmill! Go me!

So I was reading a friends blog yesterday and I saw that she lost over 10% of her starting body weight (Go Stacey!) And I was curious to see what I had lost, I found this site that tells you how to figure out your percentage and I’ve lost 15.71% HOLY CRAP that made me feel good looking at it! If you want to figure yours out all you have to do is…

Divide number of pounds lost by the starting weight

Multiply the answer to step 1 by 100

Example: 44 /280 x 100 = 15.7143%

p.s. I got my red star back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the heck is going on??? I weighed in for my Survivor challange this morning and I GAINED 3 lbs since last week!!! I was in tears as I posted it, and felt like a complete failure. I have been on a steady weight loss since July and this has been the first time I gained. And I know I should be happy that it’s the first time, but seriously 3lbs? I could see maybe one, or even two tops. But 3? Ughhhhh…. I also lost my red star

 I know it could be because of a number of things. I went to a wedding last weekend, and I probably drank the whole weekends worth of calories in one night and I had to have some wedding cake, followed by a not so healthy breakfast the next morning on the way home (pancakes but I didn’t eat the meats that came with it) and then this past week I did miss 2 days of working out, and being lazy having pink eye (it was more painful to see than I thought it would be which just turned me into a whinny bum) and staying home and not being very active. So I haven’t really done as well as I could have. It’s also that TOM….

 I want to sit here and beat my self up over it, but I’m not going to. As soon as I finish posting this, I’m gonna go get my butt on my treadmill and then try to tackle Michelle’s Survivor twist. I also made it my goal to log my daily calories all week long (I do so much better with my diet when I do) I use thesmartcalorie.com because it has more of the foods I eat and I think it has a very friendly user interface to work with. It also shows on the monthly calander when you go over your calories in red and green for the days you stay under. I prefer to have my calander be all green haha

 I can’t wait to see how my team did in the survivor challange! Go Survivor Sistas!!!

I Need Sympathy!!!! :-( haha just kidding! (although…. if anyone wants to throw me some I’d be more than happy to take some!)

 One of my co-workers had it and decided to come to work anyways (I think there should be a law or something that prohibits contaiminated people from going to work and spreading thier nasty germs!) And as much as I used my Purell… I still got it. Lucky me?

 Well that’s my excuse for not working out tonight…

Since joining this site a month ago, I’ve lost 10lbs! Thank you so much fellow buddyslimmers for making me more accountable!
