Not much to report

Haven't weighed myself today. Yesterday was no change. Today i didn't do as well. Didn't get my walk in. I had a partylite show at my MIL's. DID get in the pool for a half hour or so and played with Kit. Kinda pigged out on some cheese. Only had a little chex mix, and a hot dog. Oh and granola for breakfast. I love granola cereal. For dinner made a chicken breast and buttered noodles. No, no veggies. I know i should have but i hate veggies. Really not feeling well tonight. Had a headache this morning that got continually worse throughout the day until it made my teeth hurt. Got home took a vicodin and went to bed for an hour. Then the dizzy spells started again and the meclizine only helped so so. So that is why I missed my walk.

Success

2 lbs according to Wii Fit I'm down 2 lbs....since 3 days ago. WOOOOOOOOT!!!! I know that is alot for 3 days but I don't feel I'm being unhealthy about it. Today I had some honey wheat pretzles for breakfast, chicken and waffles for lunch and dinner. More pretzels and a small piece of dark chocolate mint fudge for snacks. Oh and I made it 3 laps around the neighborhood!!!! Still gotta measure exactly how far that is.

We're out of money right now. I have just over $100 to feed us for the next 2 weeks so eating healthy (or at all really) will be a challenge. Going to go to the discount grocery and see what i can find there.

Further discouragement

Took another walk today. I know i should only weigh myself once a week but i've been trying so hard I figured I had to have dropped atleast a pound. Well I dropped, but not quite half a pound. Wii fit yelled at me for not meeting my goal. I'm trying to keep my chin up and keep trying here, but if it is THIS hard to lose 1 stinking pound at the very start, how the hell am I ever going to lose 95?

So...animal crackers for breakfast, Tuna salad on homemade bread for lunch, and pb &j for dinner. I estimate i was right at 1200 calories today...the only unknown is the bread at lunch. I'm still hungry dammit. Oh and 30 min walk. I didn't use the rain as an excuse, first break there was i headed out with the stroller. I know walking about a mile in 30 min isn't very fast but i think pushing the stroller should count for something too, and BELIEVE me I am breathing heavy and sweating buckets about halfway through. I think I'm going to keep doing 2 laps this next week and then maybe try to add a 3rd. I WAS doing 4 before i got sick, but now I think i'm doing them at a slightly faster pace since i use the music. I'm just as tired that's for sure. If I didn't have a bike and a bunch of hubby's junk in the living room i'd try and get the wii fit out for a second work out, maybe i'll try to find room to move stuff so i can anyways. first the kitchen needs cleaned.

Oh we looked at bikes today and i picked out a diamondback comfort bike. It's a cross between moutain, road, and cruiser. so hopefully it will be easier to ride. It's $250 so now i just have to save up the cash. Anyone want to have a partylite show?

2nd post today

Just wanted to say I DID get out for a walk this evening, the usual 30 min, twice around the neighborhood. Ate a slice of pizza for dinner when i got home. If i didn't lose weight today it is hopeless.

Pool Time

Went to my MIL's to swim today. I didn't swim swim but i did walk around in the pool alot pulling Kit in her little raft and some of the time i sorta floated on my back and kicked instead of walking. Anyways I think walking around for about 20 minat a time in 4 feet of water should count as exercise for the day :P I'm definitely as tired as if I had worked out. Right now is nap time for me and both girls, whether they like it or not. Maybe if i get some rest this afternoon I'll attempt a walk this evening. Oh french toast stix for bkfast and pizza for lunch. A normal serving though instead of like 3 or 4 slices I had a slice and a half of pizza and only 4 french toast stix instead the normal 8...so maybe not the best food choices but it is what was there and i didnt eat as much. Anyways going to try and get some rest now.

Discouragement

I don't get it. I've been walking the last several days for about 30 min. I've seriously cut down my sugar, I'm not drinking soda, I'm not eating anywhere as much as normal.....can someone please explain to me why I GAINED 3 lbs?

Better

well, i skipped the straterra last night and I didn't feel anywhere near as bad today. still had some dizzy spells but i was functional atleast. ate horribly today but did get out for about 20 mins for a walk. probably would have walked further but Tana was whining about the heat and the sun and her sweating. then she decided to hide behind a tree from me and that was the end of the walk. was going to try and get some time in on the wii fit tonight but am getting tired so maybe just skip that.

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning

so I haven't felt much like posting lately. Hasn't been anything to post. The dizzy spells have been really bad. I try to get out for a walk each day, but i never manage to get far, and some days i just can't get out at all. At first i took the spells to mean eat something and i did feel better when i ate, but i discovered it's just the action of chewing making me feel better so i'm chewing gum instead. I'm sure i've put those 3 lbs back on but i don't have the heart to weigh myself. I'm waiting to get a call from a specialist that the paperwork is done and set an appt. They think it's something with my inner ear.

Just took

the baby in the stroller and went for a 30 min walk. Feel like I walked about 5lbs off. Not going to go weigh myself though. I took my phone and had some lady gaga playing to try and keep my pace up. It's 3pm so far i had a little cereal for breakfast and some pretzels for a snack. got up around 9am today... too early if you ask me. Not really feeling like eating anything atm. kinda dizzy, just want to take a nap really. i hate getting adjusted to meds.

Down 3 lbs

without trying...granted at this weight 3 lbs isn't much, but i'll take it.
