did they not give you pain meds or pheagrin ( SP) ... when I busted my ear drum they gave me drops that helped it heal faster.... IF they didn't i would seek a second opinion

 

[rbella]

They gave me drops and meclyizine (sp?). It's just that it is slow to heal. I also had a bad case of an inner ear infection so it was pretty crappy.

I said my hellos a few days ago... here I am again! Ya'll can call me Shelly, lol!

My stats -

5'5, and 181 lbs. I'm the heaviest I have ever been.

I know though that a lot of it is muscle, I'm actually a size 10-12. It's very wierd seeing that number on the scale.

What I have been doing is limiting the soda I drink, I take organic supplements, and little by little I am changing my diet to include more organic fruits and veggies. I have bgun to walk to work and I walk/run 4 days a week at night, about 15-30 minutes, depending on if I walked to work that day. Any suggestions? I also have been reading up on some of the texts by Dr. Andrew Weil (as I work for Origins) and so many of his thoughts have given me the push I need to change my lifestyle. Thanks for welcoming me in!

Ooh my midsection is strating to look and feel more toned! I'm starting to actually get ma curves back haha instead of having one blob shaped thing for a tummy lol.

Well this week I have certainly upped my fruit intake. I've lessened my portion sizes for dinner (as apparently it's supposed to be the smallest meal of the day. Hence that old phrase eat like a king at breakfast, a queen at lunch and a pauper at dinner, I think the wordings a little wrong though..but wth is a pauper).

I also started eating lunch...at lunch time

I also upped my physical activity/exerciseyness which previously was pretty much non-existent. I walked at a relatively fast pace for a total of 1hr and 20 mins across the whole week, actually did an entire Pump class

and participated in PE.

It may not be a drastic improvement but I can feel and see the differences from doing just those simple things! I can't wait to see future results.

 

[rbella]

^^^Wow! That is awesome!! Great job!!!!!!!!

 

[SkylarV217]

Sounds like you are on the right track and doing everything right...Unfortunately it just takes time...and since you are mostly muscle you are going to weigh more because muscle is heavier than fat. Good Luck..we are all right there with you..except..I am more fat than muscle

Did not have a good day, on the healthy side...
I ate at too much for lunch and had fried stuff for supper.
It's ok, it could have been worst, like I did before.

 

[rbella]

Ok ladies. Here we go again....It is Friday and I can see that we are all starting to lose steam. A weekend is not a good enough excuse to give up. If anything, it should make us try harder to break some old habits. What are some changes we can all try to make this weekend that might result in the breaking of an unhealthy habit?

Mine is going to be staying on plan and not going out for Mexican Food. My hubby and I always go out for Mexican Food on weekends. This weekend, I REFUSE!!! And, no dp's of course!

What can you guys do?????????

 

[Lizzie]

I went to the gym today (even though it was sooooo not appealing). The plan is gym Monday, Wednesday, Friday (after library). Going home from classes we don't get off at the nearest bus stop to the apartment. We also park in the back of parking lots when we drive somewhere and always take the stairs. I guess those little things add up, but I still need to watch my portions!

Good luck ladies

Today felt pretty good, after I posted last night I put on my shoes and grabbed the BF and made him walk with me... Haha, he got winded after a mile and I wanted to keep going...lol. I feel so good now walking and running, and that's giving me the energy to push forward! Today, I brought my lunch to work... it sucked not going into the mall and getting food, but I just put on my Ipod and listened to some Coltrane, and suddenly my apple, cheese and crackers tasted like a meal at the Rotz in the 40's. It was bliss.

How was everyone's day today?

 

[Willa]

Tonight, my bf's father has invited us for diner
He's planning on making a couscous, I guess it'll be served with some meat because he ALWAYS cook meat

Couscous is very good, I make it often, with dried fruits in it, cucumber, cashews...

Anyway, the fact is that he always serves loads of alcohol, so I'll be watching myself on it. French cuisine kills me sometimes hahaha (my bf's family is from France).

For lunch I guess I'll be having leftovers because we haven't been to the grocery store yet.

That's it for me!
Have a nice day girls!

Welcome to the new members.

Yesterday... didn't do as bad as i thought. Went out drinking but came home early... so didn't have as much as i thought i did. I saved alot of points during the day and didn't have any dinner. We only had a few nibbles. I am going to try and make up for over the weekend.

I thought i would feel really guilty but i am proud that i didn't do really horrible. I probably didn't calculate my points correctly but i am going to try and live on the basic points today and tomorrow to make up for Friday.

This morning... i so wanted some junk food. I was thinking of going to mcdonalds for brekkie but resisted. I think i am getting better with controlling what i eat. Lunch... i had Minestrone soup and ham & rocket sandwich. I will be having spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.

Exercising is going good... i have been walking everyday since Tuesday... and feel great. I walked abit today but will be doing my exercise video tonite. I might go swimming tomorrow... depends on how i feel.

Yesterday... i went shopping for the first time at a different store besides the plus size store

. I have dropped a whole size in my clothes. I have never been able to buy my clothes except for at one store... i am so happy and proud of myself. It has really given me a boast to keep up with my eating healthy and doing exercise.

I hope everybody does well today.

 

[rbella]

Mel-I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!! That is so great and you have inspired me to stick to this! Great job!!!!!!!!!

 

[Willa]

Congrats melliquor!!!

 

[NicksWifey]

I know Brittni checks this thread regularly! I hope she sees this cause her PM box is full and I want to know about the homemade honey mustard dressing recipe she had mentioned earlier on in the thread

 

[SkylarV217]

Brits pretty busy this weekend, she has a friend in from out of town =) .... That recipe sounds good though....

Today was um terrible lol we went to a kid fest in the middle of town and we walked a huge amount and pushing 35 pounds of my baby love helped out .... but then the DH bought Pizza and deep fried oreo's b/c ( he knew I would love them) ... I only ate 1 though so that was pretty good.... We'll be better at dinner time

 

[NicksWifey]

OMG, deep fried Oreos?! Those sound awesome!!

 

[darkwater_soul]

Yeah Mel! Good for you, it's easier when you can see improvement, I think...

Today was ok. I had a small bowl of organic fiber cereal and honey, and a cup of matcha tea. At lunch, though, my boss got us pizza (and some salad for me) but I still had a slice. It was small, but dadgummit! I have had lots of H20 today though. And I am going running again tonight. Funny thing... last night when I went to walk, the DH and I saw a cucumber in the middle of the sidewalk... and a bit farther up was a leash. I think we were stumbling on a party of some sort... lol!
