I'm still here! I just haven't been posting like I'm supposed to. TOM just really took me out of the blogging mood, but it's good and gone now. I'm back to my original low of 289 and ready to go! No loss because of TOM really SUCKS!!! It's time for that scale to go down, down, down!!!
I'll be back later on tonight with the day's recap.
Read this on Yahoo this morning and thought it was a great article.
4 Reasons We Regain Weight - from Capressa (www.capessa.com)
Losing weight and changing one’s eating and fitness lifestyle is hard work -- that’s a given -- but maintaining a weight loss is even harder. There's no longer the challenge of juggling numbers or the reward of seeing them drop, and keeping up the enthusiasm and dedication necessary to stay at the weight that you worked hard to get to doesn't come easy.
The National Weight Registry surveys and collects data from “regular people” who have managed to maintain a weight loss of 30 pounds or more for at least one year. Based on the data that they have received from more than 7,000 people, there are certain things that almost all successful “losers” seem to do to maintain their newer and slimmer figures:
I never thought I would be (nor did I want to be) one of the many people who have lost a significant amount of weight only to gain a lot of it back. But, it is high time to admit that I have gained 15 pounds since the start of the year.
Yes, that’s right. I just admitted that on the world wide web, for all to see, that I have gained back 15 of the 50 pounds I worked so hard to lose.
So what happened?
Well, I stopped doing what successful losers do to maintain a weight loss. I stopped exercising as much as I was. I started to think, “a little bit of this and a little bit of that won’t hurt.” And I stopped writing in my food log, because if I don’t write it down, it doesn’t count, right?
I lost track of calories and stopped being accountable to myself. I started to neglect myself. I stopped preparing meals and snacks ahead of time. I stopped getting up early to get to the gym because I was busy and tired. My will power began to crumble, eating special treats everyday rather than on special occasions only.
I have been watching my weight creep up these past 8 months, and instead of getting back on the beam right away, it has become a bit of a vicious cycle.
You become depressed because you know better. You get angry with yourself because you can’t believe you let yourself go. You get paranoid about what people will think—especially since you write this blog about maintaining your weight. You get emotional because getting dressed puts you in a bad mood; pants you looked awesome in a few months ago, no longer fit.
The last thing you want to do when you feel so bad about yourself is get up early the next day, go to the gym and forego the ice cream as the last days of summer arrive. I have been struggling with not throwing in the towel, not caving in and eating everything in sight, only to see the scale not budge or go up!
Now that that skeleton is out of the closet, what do I do?
Well I pick up the tools that have been so freely given to me by the successful losers that have come before me; the same tools that have helped me to be successful in the past, and I apply them again (food logs, calorie watching, exercising more). And this time I try not to think that I am ever cured from my tendency to overeat and under exercise.
In admitting my weight gain I end it there. I hold myself accountable because no one can do this for me, but me.

TOM reared it's ugly head this evening. This means that I will NOT be weighing in on Monday. I easily retain around 10 pounds of water during this time, so I am not even going to put myself through the agony of getting on that scale and seeing a higher number. By skipping this weigh, I will also be giving my body a chance to rebound from my splurge day earlier this week. I'm really looking forward to seeing a great loss at the next weigh in Monday after next!
Boy, boy, BOY! No one has to tell me that TOM is here. My appetite DEFINITELY lets me know, lol! I ate like a total piggie today! Went over on EVERYTHING! I did really good until it came this evening, then it ALL came crashing down! Oh well! Hopefully the water retention from this "pig fest" will be washed away with that from TOM.
The red irritated spot on Champie's leg is worse than I thought. I looked at again this evening. It is REALLY raw. Definitely calling the vet on Monday. I'm thinking it's from the cast and the way he sleeps on it.
I've finally got him to stop moving around so much. I put an old suede bed skirt in his cage. That thing must REALLY be comfortable. I put it in his cage after he'd had dinner. As usual, he tried to rip it to shreds with his teeth. When he didn't succeed, he rearranged it the way he wanted it and went to sleep. He hasn't been up since! Usually, when he sleeps the slightest noise awakens him. As soon as he hears footsteps or voices, he sits up and starts wagging his tail, hitting it against the floor of his cage.
Not this time, though. I've been up and down the stairs all evening and he hasn't sat up once. He'll open his eyes for a few seconds every now and then, but then it's right back to sleep. IT'S ABOUT TIME, lol!

Worked from 1 to 7:30 today. Was a bad girl and did not calculate my food. No exercise today as it's my day off. I really want to get into that set pattern of exercise and am going to try my best to make it work. Bought more Fiber One Bars and bananas for breakfast today. Yes! I got the strawberry and almond flavor. I'd never tried it before. I've already tasted a little piece and it's good! My favorite one yet, I think!
We noticed today that Champie's leg is bleeding a bit underneath the cast. There is also a red irritated area up near the top of the of the cast that he licks constantly. Will have to give the vet a call on Monday to see what's up. We're letting him sit outside his cage for a bit every evening. Today when I came home from work, he tried to jump and greet me. We're really gonna have to watch him while he's out. All he seems to want to do is hobble to wherever I'm sitting and put his head in my lap to be petted. He's such a sweet and affectionate pup. We still haven't figured out a better way to get him out to potty. Carrying him up and down the steps is K-I-L-L-E-R! He is one HEAVY puppy!
Uriah got a gaming chair today. Great! One more thing to make him even more comfortable while he's sitting on his ass all day playing Madden on the PS3! Oh well, at least I know where he's at : )
Although I didn't calculate my food today, here's my menu:
Breakfast: NONE
Lunch: leftover Bubble n Squeak, leftover baked fish, large tossed salad w/ 2 tbsp Dorothy Lynch salad dressing (YUM!)
Snack: 1/2 small bag of salted peanuts

Exercise: NONE (rest day)

Today I learned how to recycle old candles. I am a sucker for scented candles and have a lot of old candles that had long ago burned out. There's still a lot of wax left in the jars...just no wick. So today I got the bright idea to melt all the wax down, take the wicks out of some old unscented candles and make new scented ones. It really worked! The recylced ones work and look good as new! I even melted down some of the unscented candles, added a couple drops of fragrance and VOILA...scented candles! I am so proud of myself!
The hubby and I have been getting along extremely well the past couple of days for some reason. We had a really big argument the other day and afterwards acted as if nothing had happened. It's been that way ever since. Hmm...
In other news, I had the day off from work today and boy do my calories reflect it! I had to exercise an extra five minutes just to get me out of the negative! I've got to get more Fiber One Bars for breakfast soon. They contribute a big chunk of fiber to my daily needs, and my body is REALLY missing them, if ya know what I mean, lol!

No post yesterday. Right after dinner, I had to shower and get to bed. The hubby wanted some..ahem..."attention", lol!
Anywho, yesterday we took Rockie to the Humane Society. I really, REALLY hated to do that, but I just couldn't stand seeing him lie around looking sickly anymore. Numerous tests and bloodwork at the vet say he's okay, but clearly something's wrong. I tried giving him more love and attention and that didn't work. I just didn't know what else to do. I felt so bad yesterday and still feel bad today. It seems like every little thing reminds me of him. Like this evening when the played the anthem here on the Base, I thought of him and how he used to howl right along with it. I still have old pictures and videos of him on the computer because I just can't bear to part with him.
I think of him being at that place missing home. I swear I think I'm gonna go and get him.
In other news, Champie finally pooped this morning. The canned pumpkin finally did the trick! He's getting just a little to mobile with that cast on his leg. He's already chewed part of it off. It's really starting to worry me. I think I'll call the vet in the morning and see what she says.
Food yesterday and today was good. I logged all my foods for both days and didn't go over on anything. Didn't exercise neither yesterday nor today. I will start it back up tomorrow, though.
I think that's all.

Had my weekly weigh-in this morning. I'm down 5 more pounds! I've also lost 2.5 inches off my waist and 2 inches off my hips! YAY ME!!!
The hubby's doing much better today. His belly ache's gone, along with the diarrhea. Now he has a headache. Between the hubby's sugar hangover, dog #1's undiagnosed illness (which is driving all of us C-R-A-Z-Y!!!), and my puppy's broken leg, I have a house full of sickies. I have been working like a slave around here today tending to their needs, as well as the maintenance man's, who came to fix the hot water heater. On top of that I cleaned the whole house and went grocery shopping. It's a good thing I had the day off from work. Otherwise, I'd be pulling my hair out right now. I soooo need a vacation! But now that we have hot water, I'll settle for a nice long soak in the tub...at 1:00 in the morning!
Speaking of the puppy, we have GOT to figure out a better way for him to go potty! He weighs 73 pounds, and carrying his heavy ass outside every time he has to pee is HARD! He still hasn't pooped and I'm gettin' kinda concerned about that. I've read that canned pumpkin is a good laxative, so I'll get some of that and see how it goes.
As I mentioned yesterday, today was a splurge day for me. I didn't really do all that bad, though. My appetite must've really lessened. I had a big lunch today and that was it! I wasn't hungry anymore for the rest of the evening.
Tomorrow it's back to work!
Here was my food for today:
Breakfast: NONE
Lunch: 2 cheeseburgers (made from full fat beef and cheese, cooked at home)
Snack: piece of homemade yellow cake with lemon frosting (YUM!)
Dinner: NONE
Snack/Dessert: another piece of cake
Almost at the two week mark and still going strong! I was a bad girl today and didn't tally up my meals. I will be getting back to that on Tuesday, though. Tomorrow I plan to splurge a little : ) It is only for one day and I will NOT be concerned with calories, although I don't intend to go hog wild!
On another note, the hubby decided to embark on a new healthier WOE with me. We've only been at it for two weeks, but in this two weeks, he's had NO sugar and NO junk whatsoever. Tonight he went and ate 2 packs (4 cookies total) of Oreo Cakesters and now he is sick as a dog. We're talking cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, the whole nine! It has to be the cookies because he got sick literally 5 minutes after eating them.
I went out and got him some Pepto Bismol, he threw a little of it up, but says he's feeling a tiny bit better. He's still writhing in pain, though. I have NEVER seen him this sick. Hopefully, this will teach him a lesson!
Weigh-in and measurements tomorrow and I can't wait to see how I've done. I'll take anything I can get. If I can eat like I've been eating and lose any weight at all, then I'll be happy!
Don't have any totals, but here were my meals:
Breakfast: NONE (running late)
Lunch: 1/4 rotisserie chicken, 2 cups salad w/ Ranch dressing
Snack: small bag of salted peanuts
Dinner: rotisserie chicken breast, 3 cups salad w/ light Ranch dressing
Snack: leftover chicken curry
Exercise: WATP
Water: 100 oz.
I'm posting early tonight as I wanna go ahead and exercise so I can be in bed before midnight. I read something on Yahoo today that says your body burns more efficiently when you hit the sack before midnight, so I'm giving it a shot!
Worked today from 12 to 6:30. Came home to find Champie out of his kennel and DOWNSTAIRS!!! Uriah insists he latched the door to his kennel. Somehow Champie got OUT of his kennel and DOWN the STAIRS! I sure hope his leg is okay. I sure wish I knew how he got down there with that cast on. We discovered this evening that he's already learned how to maneuver the leg to do what he wants to do. This is what the vet was afraid of. It is going to be soooo hard trying to keep him still. I bought him a rawhide bone today thinking it would distract him enough to keep still, but he just pushes it around the floor so he can go after it. Oy!
I was a bad girl today and didn't log any of my meals. I think I did okay, though. I didn't really have any bad foods. As I said earlier, I'm gonna get up here in a minute and do my WATP, so I can shower and hit the hay before the clock strikes 12! Although I didn't log anything and don't know where I stand, here were my meals for today:
Breakfast: turkey sandwich (2 slices bread, 3 slices deli shaved turkey breast, light spreading of reduced fat mayo, mustard. I was out of Fiber One bars and wanted something meaty, lol)
Lunch: Lean Cuisiine Chicken and Penne Pasta
Snack: fruit salad (honeydew melon, watermelon, oranges, pineapple - didn't eat the pineapple, though)
Dinner: chicken curry over rice (YUM!)
Snack: NONE probably (late dinner)
Water: 100 oz.
Exercise: WATP
Champie is H-O-M-E!!! We took him to the other vet as planned and get this, they ended up only charging us $221 for the ENTIRE surgery!!!!! God is SO good! Our prayers were DEFINITELY answered! He truly made a way for us! We did have to pay the other vet (the expensive one), another $140 on top of the $100 that we'd already paid. That is all right, though. I'm just glad everything worked out as well as it did.
Champie came through the surgery with flying colors. The vets (at both places) told us he was a real champ, getting sassy with the staff and other dogs. He has this cute little blue and green cast/split type thingy on his leg that he has to keep on until at least October 2nd, when he has his next appointment. Poor baby came home all woozy and shaky from the morphine. It's worn off now and he's trying to get back to his old self.
The poor baby doesn't know that he can't move normally. He's a VERY active puppy and these next few weeks are going to be hard for him...and us. We are going to have to figure out a way to keep him still. He hears us upstairs laughing, talking, and moving about and he wants to get out of his kennel. I'm going to buy him some raw hide bones tomorrow and put in his kennel to keep him occupied.
Okay, enough about that. On to my food and exercise. I haven't been eating enough or exercising since Wednesday. I did exercise today, though, and even though I had the day of from work, was not hungry for most of the day. I didn't have my first meal until around 4:00. *BAD TISH!* After that I didn't eat a whole lot. If it wasn't for the peanuts that I ate, then my calorie count would've been lower. I did exercise today, even though it was supposed to be a rest day. I did my Walk Away the Pounds vid. I've had my 2 rest days for this week already.
I've noticed something about myself. I can go the whole day without drinking an ounce of water. But come evening, I can polish off the whole 100 oz that I'm supposed to drink.
Alright on to today's daily goal and menu:
Daily Goals: Calories 1,723 Fat: 57 Sat Fat: 21 Carbs: 236

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but I was beside myself with grief. As I mentioned the other day, my puppy champ hurt his foot and we decided to wait until morning to see whether or not we'd take him to the vet. Well, that next morning he was not better and we took him to the vet. It turns out that my poor Champie had snapped his leg bone in two different places and would require a surgery that would cost $1,400!!! Well, that amount was most definitely NOT in our budget. We just don't have that kind of money.
Ok, let me back up. That next morning we called around to different places to try and get an appointment. Knowing we didn' t have enough money for even x-rays, we tried to find someone who would work with us on payments. Well, we found 2 people-actually we found 3, but that was the vet here on the Base and I swear I think those people are incompetent. Anywho, without knowing that we'd each called a different vet, I made an appointment at one place for 2:40, but Uriah made an appointment at another place for 1:15. We decided to go with the earlier appointment because Uriah just couldn't stand to see Champ in pain.
So, we loaded Champ up at about 20 minutes to one. I had to be to work at 1:00, so Uriah dropped me off on the way and took Champ on, after promising to keep me posted. I'm at work looking at the clock waiting for Uriah to call or text. One hour passes and nothing. Two hours pass and still nothing. Almost another hour had passed when I decided to call Uriah myself. He said that he'd went to the first vet, but they had to do an emergency surgery on another dog, so he'd have to go to the second vet. Great! So Champ's back at home in pain.
Uriah finally calls me after the appointment. I run to the bathroom to call him back. He answers and tells me that he has good news and bad news. The bad news is that Champ's leg was severly broken and would require a $1,400 surgery to have screws inserted in his leg. At this point I'm breaking down. I'm soooo ready for the good news. The good news is that Champ's okay. Hello???? Champ's okay???!!! You've just told me that Champ's leg is severly broken and the surgery would be $1,400. How in the HELL is he okay???!!!
He also tells me the vet will agree to let us pay for half the surgery up front and the other half later. But still, I don't get paid until Friday and don't even have half the money! I feel myself getting angry and hang up the phone and go back to work. Going back to work was NOT easy. I wanted to just break down. But I hung in there. Being with my co-workers really lifted my spirits and I was fine...that was, until I got home.
After getting home, Uriah is telling me all about what went on at the vet, but I'm not listening to him. I'm over in the passenger seat crying and thinking about my Champie. Uriah made the decison to leave him at the vet's overnight. They were giving him pain meds and had him on an IV to keep him comfortable. At least I was glad about that. I don't think I could've looked in his sad eyes that night.
Anywho, we're at home sitting in the car and Uriah tells me that if we can't come up with the money for the surgery, then we'd have to have Champie put down. Well, that did it! I just lost it. I was sobbing hysterically. Then Uriah, my jerk of a husband, starts telling me (while I'm still sobbing my eyes out) that it's all my fault and that if I hadn't have been playing with him then none of this ever would've happened. So finally I just burst out that we'll just have him put down and take Rockie to the animal shelter. Then, I get up and start removing all the dog's things from the house and throwing them in the garbage. I was so distraught I didn't know what to do.
Later that night after the jerk had aplogized, I got hungry. Cooking was NOT on my list of things to do, so I suggested we go to McDonalds to get something to eat. I was NOT in the mood to eat healthy at that point. I wanted some feel good food. Still, I could've did a whole lot worse. All I ordered was 2 regular hamburgers and a small fries (Even with that I still didn't go anywhere near over any of my allowances for that day!) Well, we get home and I'm eating and crying. Soon, I'm tired from crying and I go to bed.
I wake up this morning feeling a little better. I had to work, but Uriah didn't and was supposed to spend the day seeking out other vets who might be able to do the surgery a little cheaper. Well, later that morning he gets called in to work! This means, that neither one of us can do anything. He tells me that he will NOT have Champie put down and that we WILL find a way. This makes me feel better and off to work I go.
Uriah was supposed to get off work at 1:30. He was gonna go get Champ from the vet and take him around to see if we could get a cheaper price. WELL, he finds out that he has mandatory appointments right after work and, therefore, wouldn't have time to get Champ. So here I am again at work feeling bad again.
I can't do anything but just go to the bathroom and pray. Well, after work he comes to pick me up and I ask him what's up. He again tells me that he has good news and bad news. I'm thinking "Uh oh. Here we go again". I ask for the bad news first. The bad news is that the vet bill is going to cost nearly $300 because of the test, x-rays, meds and the nights Champie spent there (he's there again tonight, too). Then, he gives me the good news which he says will probably outweigh the bad. The good news is that the first vet he went to, the one that he didn't get to see because the doctor had to do an emergency surgery, will do the operation for only $800 and will let us pay in split payments, too! HALLALEUJAH!!!!! I cry again, but his time tears of joy!
Sooo, Champie will have the surgery tomorrow and hopefully be home soon! I am so happy!!!!!!! I never realized how much I really loved that little dog until this happened!
Although I have been calculating my food, I think I've talked enough and will return to my regular food and exercise reports tomorrow. Good night!
Worked from 1-7:30 today. As predicted, working kept the munchies at bay. Not very tired after work, but still didn't go to the gym. Instead, I did Walk Away the Pounds. Food was good today. I didn't go over on anything except for fiber, but I'm not worried with that at all. After being irregular for so long, I welcome the change, lol!
Got the results of Rockie's bloodwork today. Everything is normal. The vet says she's going to call around to other vet and see what they say. I was playing with my puppy Champ tonight and he hurt his foot. We called the vet and are going to wait until tomorrow to see how he is and if we need to bring him in or not. He's hurt his foot before and was fine the very next day. So, we'll wait and see. I just feel really bad, though, cause he hurt his foot playing with me. He will let us touch the area and everything so I'm hoping it's not that bad.
Now, shortly after Champ hurt his foot and was confined to his bed, Rockie has almost been acting normal. He's eating, running around, going outside, etc. Uriah has been saying all the while that he believed Rockie was just depressed from lack of attention ever since we got Champ. I though it was a bunch of baloney. However, after the change in Rockie this evening, I researched dog depression and found out that there really is such a thing! The treatment for dog depression: dog PROZAC! Is that crazy or what???!!!
Don't think we'll need any of that, though. We'll wait and see how everything plays out in the morning.

Had my weekly weigh-in this morning. I'm down 5 pounds! That's GREAT! Next week I will take my measurements in addition to weighing-in. I can already see that something's happening, as my waist is already starting to come back.
Had the day off from work and wouldn't you know I went over my calorie allowance a smidge. As predicted, I was munchie all day. Maybe I should just work all the time. Oh wait, I already do, lol! It's a good thing there are no truly bad foods in the house, otherwise I'd be in trouble.
Didn't make it to the gym today. They closed early because of the holiday. I'm gonna get up and do my Walk Away the Pounds in a minute. I did it before bed last night and slept really well. The backs of my thighs have been sore all day. I'm guessing it's from the late night workout???
Didn't do anything productive today and that's just the way I wanted it. Didn't even clean my house. Just lazed around and relaxed all day. Now it's time for my workout!
