TMI warning...
I have had a rash under one arm for 2 months now
Lately I have noticed more sweating and let's not even mention the smell..
So I finally went to the dr.
I have a bacteria infection in my arm pit!
Who knew?
Sorry, I had to go back in and add this

I rocked the house!
8 weeks
2.4 for the week gone
16.8 total
This made me totally happy!
What's working for me they ask...
Not having any money-I can't eat what I want when I want it
I think pristiq is making me not hungry
Going to WW meetings with friends-there is 4 of us now that go-this also pulls at my competitive strings
Going to meetings is really helping-being accountable
I also think back to the last time I was losing and going to meetings...then I stopped-not going to do that again
I had been planning a splurge in the back of my mind after weighing in this week
Cici's for lunch and Rusty's for dinner
Damn it was good
I won't use my flex points this week
I am going to have to weigh in on Thursday or Friday this coming week because I am off to my mother's for the weekend...lots of temptation...

2 weeks worth
So I can now fit in my skinny jeans!
But I constantly have a wedgie! And no my undies are not on backwards...just feels like it!
Well I really can't remember much of last week
But here goes...
I got an ear infection! Who knew? So I have felt like shit all week! I stayed on program all week too! That's a freakin miracle!
I go weigh in and I am up .2
I was so pissed!
So what do I do?
Go to eat Chinese buffet...I had to have some comfort food
This past week...
Since I ate the buffet, I tried to stay right at my 30 points and not use any flex
Lost 2.2
Which brings me down to 217
.6 this week and I can hit 15 pounds in 8 weeks
I haven't been exercising though-between being sick and just plain tired
But if I'm still losing, I'm not going to get too worried about it
I do have a confession to make, after the WW meeting I went to 7-11 and got a big gulp and a donut
I have to say there is a story behind it...I have taken the kids to 7-11 several times lately and got them donuts but not me...just a coke
Then I resisted the temptation with donuts at school on Friday
I thought after the meeting would be the perfect time, after a weigh in and on the start of new points week!
The kids and I have been hooked on ice cream cones from McD's
Only 3 points and 50 cents...damn good for 50 cents
Looking back at my food and weight journal, I got down to 208 in May
So I may have gained more than 15 back
So I have 9 more pounds to get back to my smallest size last year
Than I have to keep going all the weigh down to 158
I can do it
Just one week at a time!

I have a sick sense of humor don't I?
Every time I read that I laugh
But so many of her cartoons are funny
Yes, I did do the treadmill twice this week
Not much, but it is more than last week
I plan to do it 3 times this week
Are you sitting down?
Remember how I wanted to get rid of another 2.2 to make it to 10?
Well I lost twice that much! 4.8!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't fucking believe it!
That gets me to 12.6 in 4 weeks
And now weighing in at 219
I would love to get rid of 20 more!
My dream is to get below 200
That would be so very wonderful
If I can do that, I will reward myself with a trip to the plastic surgeon
So let's say that I can do it by the end of the year (lose the weight)
Then I can make plans to get surgery next summer
By then I will have lost 100
I forgot to write about Herb's birthday cake last week
For the cake, I used a white cake mix and a can of diet Sprite
Cook according to directions on the box
For the frosting,1 pkg. of sf/ff pudding (I used chocolate)
1 1/2 cups of ff milk
1 envelope of Dream Whip topping
Beat the shit out of it for 6 minutes
It needs to stay refrigerated
It was so moist!
54points for the cake and 1 for the icing
Damn it was good!
I think the thing that has really helped me lately in my WW journey is the planning
This past month I have been so busy with school, in the past I would have lived off fatty fast food
But this time, I have planned my meals ahead of time and always had WW friendly snacks on hand
I also have not deprived myself
Yesterday we went to Freddie's and I had a small burger and some fries and still stayed in my point range
I'm not going to one of those dieters that stays with all the whole foods
I love my processed food and I don't want to live with out it
So I use Dotti's website all the time looking up foods to stay in range
Even looking them up before I go somewhere or eat something!
Every time I read that I laugh

2 weeks worth
Last week....
After talking with my doctor, I decided to try a new antidepressant
But to do that I needed to get off the one that I was already on and it is a kicker to get off
I just new that it was going to be a breeze for me...
Well it wasn't!
I lost my mind on Wednesday
I was crying all day long and couldn't tell you why I was crying
And I'm not a cryer!
Called the doc and got a new plan for getting off the meds
It was scary because it wasn't me and I knew it
But now I am a week and a half away from starting my new med and feeling great
As for food this past week...it was ups and downs
The bad part about work week for teachers is that there is so much flippin food around because we are in meetings 24/7
I always brought my WW friendly snacks with me and gave myself little pep talks about eating healthy when I planned on eating with the group
I did really well for me except for 2 meals
One was the day that I flipped out...took the kids to CiCi's for dinner
Then the very next day, hit Mazzio's buffet for lunch with friends
2 pizza buffets in less than 24 hours!
Ouch!
When it came time to get on the scales I didn't know what I was going to see
I weighed the exact same as last week down to the ounce!
How the hell is that possible?
This week I have tried very hard
The times we have eaten out I have chose WW friendly foods
It helps that I don't have any money to go out to eat!
Last Sunday, my mom was here and I got a wild hair to make something new. I made Low fat/High fiber pancakes
http://www.aimeesadventures.com/RecipeFiles/BreadsandGrains1/HighFiberLowFatPancakes.html
I thought they were good, so did my mother
The kids ate them too...I did slather them with PB first for them
But you add lite syrup and your set
Pancakes were 1 point a piece and the syrup was 2
I also forgot to post another good recipe I made
Parmesan Herb Baked Tilapia
http://shoutinfromtherooftop.com/2008/01/04/parmesan-herb-baked-tilapia/
This isn't a WW recipe but I made it WW friendly
I subbed mayo for FF sour cream
It was really good!
I think it would only add 1-2 points to the 2 point fish
Well I weighed in this morning and I really wanted big numbers
I lost 2.2
I was very disappointed
But the gal weighing me reminded me that they only want me to lose 2 a week
Then I reminded myself that it had only been a week
So then I felt better about it
The good news is that I am 2.2 away from 10!
So my goal is 2.2 this week
I can do it!

Sunday, August 10th
Here's the low down for the week:
5.6 pounds gone for the week! That leaves me at 226.2
Man I was so happy and I turned down a lot this week so I needed that high number!
Sunday-We went to Journey church for the first time.
We walk in and there is a whole wall of fucking donuts! And you know me, I love donuts-but I just chose water and nothing else!
Monday-We went to Red Robin for dinner.
I did get a grilled chicken sandwich and fries but I was over by 22 freakin points!
So I only had 1 flex point to last me the rest of the week...not good when it is only Monday! Drayton sprained his ankle so we were at the ER for an hour and a half making sure nothing was broken.
Tuesday-I went to the dentist and was there for close to 3 hours so needless to say my mouth was very sore until late afternoon. So I didn't eat much until dinner and didn't go over in my points. I had enough points to have my favorite 5 point ice cream...Blue Bell's Carmel Fudge Turtle-it rocks! I did go to the GYN for my annual. We are changing my anti-depressant but I first need to wean myself off of the other one which will take a whole freakin month. So no meds for the first month of school-that will be interesting! She also sent me to the lab to test my hormone levels and thyroid since I have been having hot flashes
Wednesday-We fixed steaks on the grill and it tasted so freakin good...but I was a good girl and measured off a serving and didn't have seconds!
Thursday- Went to Chick-fila for dinner and chose a grilled chicken, ate just a few waffles fries and a water. Can you believe I had water? That is so unlike me! I also had to go to the dr. today because I slept on my neck wrong on Tuesday and it still hurts. Plus it is going into my shoulder and lower back...no fun
Friday-spaghetti for dinner-nothing special. I did eat the rest of the Blue Bell ice cream so it wouldn't be calling my name anymore :)
Herb bought a treadmill last week! So I got on and walked for 12 minutes, got off and puked and slept for 3 hours..laugh all you want!
Saturday-I grilled chicken and marinated it in Lawry's Ginger and Sesame...it is so damn good! I did get on the treadmill (no puking this time) so I had an activity point to use. I have heard a lot about the PB Bliss bars from WW so I got some. Oh my they are good! 1 point and small but I'll have 2 for 2 points!
So this has been a really crazy week considering I am withdrawing from one medicine, have a hurt back and neck and had to take Drayton to the ER-and still made good food choices

I'm Back....
I'm back on the saddle again...
I joined WW this morning
I have gained 15 pounds since May! Holy Moly!
So my weight now is 231
I am ending my first day back on plan and I am a little hungry
But this is the worst time a day for me-after the kids are in bed, I snack a lot...but no more
I found a yummy new snack today
It's a 100 Calorie cheesecake bar-2 points
Oh my is it good!
They also had chocolate...need to go back and get that one now!
I don't plan to blog every day
My goal is to blog once a week after my WW meeting and weigh in (Saturdays)
