i have quite the same good pain. mine is located in right waist area (raking), shoulders (stuffing bags with leaves), back (weeding, planting, and painting indoors). another 7 hours of all of that yesterday. today am a dead vegetable.
Ehbeth-LOL
Dags-you're a dead vegetable-can I eat you ?
I am missing the gym like mad-stuck away from home on business though thankfully can post here so all is not lost-will aim for a great session on Saturday and Sunday to kick start my week 4, first 3 weeks have gone well
Well, hiama, you can try, but I am very bitter today. Did not yet achieve much, but will go jogging shortly. It is so gloomy outside, I need sun for energy!
dagmaraka--
I'm glad to find another dieter with a need for sunshine. Do you look at the gloom outside and decide that gorging (with an eye to hibernation) would be a Very Sensible Idea?
absolutely! i am very restrained today (2 small bags of chips are the only sin i have commited so far), but man, yesterday i was off the leash! it was even gloomier yesterday, it called for a long bath and a nap too!
I'd like to report that I have virtually lost some weight.
Well done Cjhsa, I'd like too as well but I can't
Dags-keep the faith, I agree with you and Noddy that miserable weather does dampen one's resolve
Probably no gym until after the surgery - but no food as well should help me in reducing some weight !
Gautam--
When is your surgery? How long will you be immobile?
Better today -few patches of visible sky have caused me to jog outside for 30 minutes, Bootsie the dog, who was taken along, was not all too happy about this, she was resisting my encouragement (which in turn made me look like a fool, clapping, yelling: you go, girl! and such in public, being flatly ignored by the dog) and then i did an hour of power yoga - another from our collection of workout videos. well done, dag! patting myself on the back (quite challenging, part of the workout).
Well done, dag!
I've done nothing but am getting ever deeper into a deep blue funk brought on by endlessly bracing myself for something that endlessly recedes into the distance (will we move this fall or not?? it looks like not, but it still only looks like, and I want things to be written in stone, dammit) so I really need to start doing something concerted since that is the best way to get myself out of funks. I want to run really really badly. I run around the yard, but I want to run. Probably can convince E.G. to watch the sozlet while I run this weekend.
I am having a REAL problem with losing weight.
I'm doing the weight watchers program with the
points and all that, and I am even allowing that
I can have less points due to my rheumatoid
arthritis and I'm not as active as I once was.
But. I am STILL gaining weight. All that I eat
in a typical day is oatmeal for breakfast, the
old fashioned kind - lots of fiber, takes over
30 seconds to prepare. Later in the day, I have
several fat free yogurts with GrapeNuts mixed in.
This accounts for 6 points. So, at 12 points per
day I continue to gain weight. I have virtually no
appetite... I just found out that I don't have colon
cancer, that was a scary experience. Yet I have
to go back to my internist and start from scratch
again. My thyroid's been checked and double
checked. According to WW book, I am supposed
to be able to consume 24 points per day and lose
weight. So, something is wrong here. I am really
getting kind of upset about it too.
noddy, I have an appointment with the consultant tomorrow when he will give me a date. He has been waiting for the infection to die down before he can operate, but most probably it will be scheduled early next week. Should be on my feet in 3 days - but then I am an optimist !!
Babs,
What do you drink ? it is not just what you eat , for example alcohol has a lot of calories and speaking as one who has ben known to consume large quantities you have to take this into account, also the fat in milk if you drink coffee with milk etc etc.
Barring that it sounds like that your metabolism needs the kick start that exercise can give it, can you do any exercise at all, maybe a stationary bike ?
Gautam- fingers crossed buddy
Thanks buddy !!
(how will you be able to pick up the goblets containing the potion of life, booze, if you keep yr fingers crossed ??)
Gautam,
My mouth comes in quite useful in that regard-or even my toes -the joys of yoga !
Dags-go girl go
Sozobe-do it- go for that run you know you will feel better all those endorphins and adrenaline its better than *** well maybe not
Gautam - surgery!?!? What have I missed?
Oh nothing major littlek - just a wisdom tooth which has started coming out horizontally instead of vertically and has dislodged the tooth next to it and is growing in such a position that they will have to cut a bit of my jaw bone to take it out and hence they will have to do it under general anesthesia once the infection in the wound has died down so that I can get respite from the unbearable pain that I am having since Saturday/Sunday and then I can eat again and speak normally instead of mumbling through half opened lips since I cannot open my mouth fully....
I am accepting flowers in my hospital room as long as they are long stemmed roses.
I'm off to the virtual weight loss loo...
