Make Over Monday! I love it! Well here we go ladies...holidays over and new year beginning! Time to get er done (again for some of us)!

Barb dang that foot issue stinks! So glad you found your pills. Hope all is well now.

Cricket i'm so so glad you are going to be able to attend the memorial.

Chrissie hope the curtain climbers are gentle with you today for the first day back after a long and much needed vacay!

Himi all I can say is WOW!

Paulette i'm so glad Ed is better now. Those ER trips are scary and exhausting i'm sure. Enjoy your steak today!

Jodi welcome back into the fold. We missed you! Let's do this!!

I don't know if I mentioned i've been having difficult & irregular period issues as well the last few months but i've been on the wait list at the ob/gyn for a cancellation. Thankfully someone cancelled for this morning so i'm going to go see if I can find the source of these issues.
Also when I saw my new neurologist last month she believes I may have multiple sclerosis instead of muscular dystrophy. The only way to confirm is a MRI so i've got one scheduled for Friday. I'm not sure which is worse but it would be a sad testament to our healthcare system if i've been misdiagnosed by dr after dr since 1992..hmmmm??!!
Still no word on the job for Chris so hopefully now that the holidays are over we will find out something for sure either way this week.

I'm excited we are all doing a re-start of some sort today! Whooshie wishes to all!!

I am up .4 again today. Even with the low cals and low sodium. Bodies are weird.

ED IS IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN. After we got back from the ER, he seemed fine. He ate a sandwich and started having terrible stomach pains. His reflux was acting up in a bizzarre way. He breathed some in his lungs and could not stop coughing. It was scary and looked like he was suffering from poisoning or something!!! I took him back to the ER and they did what they could to stop the pain and the reflux and soothe his lungs, but they wanted to keep him overnight at the hospital for observation because they feared a heart issue. (??????) With his recent stroke and all, this was a very scary incident and I am frazzled.

So I was in the hospital all night again. I got home very late and took care of the dog and got very little sleep. I am going to go back there in an hour or so to spend the morning with Ed. They will most likely release him by noon. I hope he is feeling better. Poor Ed.

I have a feeling our steaks are going to rot in the fridge. If Ed is not up to grilling them tonight, I may just throw them in under the broiler to cook them so they don't spoil. I guess that is the best. In the meantime, I will make some tuna to bring to the hospital today for lunch. So, dinner is a question mark for me today.

BARB - I'm glad you found your pills. I hope they give you relief from your pain!

HIMI - I loved your photo progression! You must be very proud of yourself! You have done so well in this short year! Congrats!

KATHY - Here's hoping your doc can find the root of your period issues! Boy, do I relate to that! And I really hope they can pinpoint what the heck is the REAL problem - MS or MD!!!!!!!! What a shocking revelation - misdiagnosed! I sure hope they can pinpoint this so you can receive the proper treatment! How insane!

CRICKET - Sounds like the Chinese place was very disappointing. I hope, at least, that you had some good lower carb choices available for you! I am curious how JODI has been doing, too. It is great she is coming back into the fold.

CHRISSIE - have fun with the little yard monkeys


GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS DOING A RE-START TODAY!!!!!! May your day be stress-free and your food be satisfying! I will plan my food well today so as not to be tempted, too. Bring my own cream and sweeteners, my tuna, and plenty of tampons/pads. Talk to you all later!

BBL to post mouse broken

real fast before I go...needed a battery! POLLIE>> SO VERY SORRY about Ed and what you BOTH are going through! He and you have gone through too much in such a short time.Hope they get him fixed up!

BARB.. water is so important to avoid those crystals from building up.DRINK! Hope the tootsie is doing better today!

Chrissie.. happy back to work to you!

That food was really not good for the result I got but that is also aprtly due to the specialty bread Jodi brought back from her father's visit. really amazing stuff and I am so sick from it. My lungs are a wheezing coughing mess. I AM SO HAPPY to be back on track.
We woke up to dogs going razy before dawn.. Jodi's horse TIDE broke out again.Dogs chased him but he just stayed with the others at Cookie's fence line. He is too big a PIA to stay in that field or we would just lve him there. At least Jodi was home FINALLY when this happened so she had to deal with it.
Gearing up to go to that COLD pool..wearing leggings under the suit and thermal shirt over it! Then to change for the gym!

KATHY.. that is rediculous to have been misdiagnosed.. wonder what physicians are crazy. MS would make some sense..agree with you about your emotions. Hope for the better prognosis!

CLOSURE..not ever having that with Kerry. Nothing to finalize. Fact is I could not speak with her and that is what SHE and I BOTH needed.She had a lot to say and get off her shoulders.I needed her to have that time. It isn't like I cannot beleive she is gone. That was the outcome for 10 years.Only the timing was every at issue. So, we go to the service ONLY for supporting her family and not for us. I said good bye to her duriong the last conversation. I knew that was it for us. WIll I EVER get over the loss? Not a chance. I am happy for her that Kery is finally out of the horrible constant pain she was in. I remember that when my sisiter died, my cousin came up to me and said he was sorry my sister died. I told him that I was sorry it took her so long to be in peace and out of pain.She fought only for 2 years.

So off I go to freeze my boobies off!

up 2.4!! what a flippin' bummer
had a fight with the husband last night and found a bag of pb m&m's for me to drown his asinine ways in...........those combined with way too many (mostly on-plan) calories (including an elaine-sized salad)
i am not a fan of being human

today is back to work, back to plan, onward and downward......CHAAARGE!!!!

BARB......glad you found your stash! hope the ped feels better

PAULETTE......poor ed!! AND poor you too! i hope all this gets straightened out so he can feel much better, and you can get some peace

KATHY......wth???? if that IS the case, sounds like a lawsuit to me!!
i hope this all gets worked out for the best of your well-being

CRICKET.......i'm confused; isn't it an indoor pool? either way, how is it not heated

have a great ON-PLAN day people!!!

CHRISSIE>>> BACK TO SERIOUS INDUCTION TIME!!! Once you get clean you will remain clean body and mind. YES, the pool IS indoors and barely heated. Most are 82-84 degrees but this is not.Swim meets and training is in there so they keep it cooler..and it costs less!!! BUT TODAY....it wasw WARM!!!! YIPPEE
Had a great time and from there went to Planet Fitness and signed up up for the better plan.ALSO got to go around with the trainer who ade a personalized routine for me for my needs and wants, showed me the entire place and all the machines and how to use the.Quite a difference from the first time I joined! The gym is just across the street form the exercise complex where the pool is. SO, 3 days a week are mine. During harvest, I think I can be spared and rearrange my schedule to let Carl pick while I go to the gym 2 xs a week.Swim is outside and in the opposite direction so that does not work out well until late sumer when the indoor pool takes over again. ALL good.
JODI is on INDUCTION. I told her to make the foods as she enjoys them and in the amount that works.She will write it all down and I'll do the FitDay and then figure out what stays and goes etc.
AND that is it for me from BAMA
Hope all have a great evening and had a great day.. hope ED is doing better and PAULETTE you take care...

AND CHRISSIE... let no one drive you to make poor choices.. fact is, no one can do that. It has to be in your head already to be willing to eat off plan. SO, join the rest of us mortals and get on track...

KATHY.. if you can prove you were harmed by an incorrect diagnosis by not getting the care that would have improved your condition in any way.. then you have a plausible litigation stand. Just having a misdiagnosis with no harm is no lawsuite..no harm... so I hope you DO NOT HAVE A REASON FOR A SUIT!!!

I got to once again spend time with ins billing and the ins company on a thrid part call..sigh.. hell.. the two professionals confuse each other.... quite a call...frankly the ins.agent had me pissed off from the start..very confrontaional and condescendoing.. OH BOY DID SHE PICK THE WRONG PERSON FOR THAT! SO, like any good psych practitioner, I just danced in her head and played in her brain.THEN let her have it, as did my doc's billing gal who finally did get the issue.. they did not code it as this agent thought it should be. All will be fine I am sure.
OH... gotta tell ya this.. I called my eye surgeon to find the fee for the intraocular cleaning..done fast by laser no biggie.. that NO BIGGIE is $293 PER EYE! I HAVE TWO EYES! and that does not include HIS fee.That is from the surgical center use..OMG does this never end?? I will buy a golden retirever and train it with a white tipped cane before i pay these fees. I am so over this. It just sucks.AM DONE>

Hello ladies!

Paulette wow what a crazy time you and Ed are having right now. I really hope they can get him stablized for a while. You guys are spending more time at the hospital than at home. It is amazing how you are able to stay on plan during these stressful situations! *Hugs*

Cricket welcome to the planet fitness family and i'm so glad you got your billing issues resolved AGAIN!

I'll try to check back later and see how everyone else is doing

Oops sorry I missed you Chrissie! Darn being human!! Why can't we be those humans that can eat anything and not gain an ounce and have no feelings for others! Hmmmm! Back on track..onward and downward!

I really don't care which disease I have since the meds regimen i've been on for the last 15 years has kept me in remission regardless of the diagnosis. Since my dad has ocular myasthenia gravis (muscular dystrophy) i'm guessing I was properly diagnosed but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry just in case in the future it becomes an issue. I would never sue I would just adjust like I have since 1992 when I was originally diagnosed.

HIMI & BARB......

CRICKET......stable mabel baby

KATHY.....wth????? a 4.5 WHOOOOOOSH WEEEEEEEeeeeeee good for YOU
i want one of those!!!!!!!! maybe tomorrow

the rug rats were great today! i missed them, and i got SO many hugs when they saw me
today's %'s were: 8/21/71, 932 cals.
a little too high on the tc, but i still have some pickled herring from Wigilia (polish Christmas eve celebration) that i don't want to waste (my guys won't eat it). it'll be gone tomorrow

buenos noches mi amigas

Today went well and Ed got his walking papers. I had to take a nap at 2 pm as I was very tired! Did not wake until almost 5 - so I didn't have time to eat an actual dinner. I had 1/2 cup of yogurt and some cheese. That will keep the hunger off me until I go to "real" bed. I did broil those steaks a little while ago, so they are ready for tomorrow.

Today's calories were 1263 and my fat % is high, so I am sure I am throwing lots of ketones now. It is too bad my weight has been creeping up again. At least it is tiny increments this time and not big 2-3 lb jumps like last month!!!!! I also noticed that my bleeding has dropped dramatically today!!! YAY! Maybe I can start losing again soon!!!

It is really too bad that our first day of "re-start" is not looking good for most of us. Except for.... (drumroll....)

KATHY!!!!!!!!!!! An excellent whoosh!!!!! You are obviously back in the saddle!!!!

CRICKET - Glad to hear your pool was actually warm today! And you had a good trainer this time! I hope you can get rid of the effects of the EVIL BREAD soon! Whooshie wishes to you for tomorrow!!!

CHRISSIE - I am so sorry to hear about your argument and the m&ms. Funny how we want to turn to sweets when we are blue. I really hope tomorrow is better for you and your induction plans go smoothly for you. It is always difficult - but it does make you feel so much better when in control. Think of all the reasons you started this diet in the first place. It is GREAT you were able to keep the cals so low today! I am impressed! That number would be impossible for me! I hope you are rewarded with your whoosh!!!!

HIMI & BARB - I am ever so anxious to see how you fared! So I will have to wait until tomorrow morning. I hope the best!

I just weighed myself - which I should not do - but I was curious where I stood.... I am up 1 lb right now, but I normally should pee that away during the night (I hope!). I really hope to see a loss!!!!

Tomorrow I have a steak & spinach salad planned for lunch! I also have some leftover baked cod, so I have meat for a couple days now. And I NEED to finish those last 2 avocados this week!! So I think I will put some on my spinach salad and see how I like that. Otherwise, it is guacamole for the remaining 'cados.

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow! Have a good night!

Kathy: What a Whoosh! Great job. Hope you get both your health issues straightened out. It's great to hear that you are in remission, but as you said, it would probably be good to know exactly what you are dealing with in the event that you need to deal with it in the future. Hope Chris gets good news about the job. My son's offer is still not finalized. He previously had gotten a letter offering the job on a contingent basis requesting him to list his medications. He got another letter Saturday and now they want to get more information from his doctor since he is diabetic. Hopefully, this doesn't affect him getting the job. He is probably healthier than I am and is never sick.

Paulette: I am so sorry to hear about Ed. What a way to start the new year! This has to be frustrating for both of you! I'm glad that he was able to get home today. I'm sure your slight flux will disappear as soon as your routine , sleep patterns and gynecological issues get back to normal.

Himi and I doubled in our postings so I wanted to edit my post and fix it since I was the last to post.

Great loss, Himi. I was happy with my .4 lb loss, but you blew me away. Again your pictures are great! I should print them and post them to keep me inspired.

Cricket: So glad you had a good workout at the pool and a positive experience at Planet Fitness. I just heard an advertisement for one that is opening in Johnstown which is still 80 minutes from us. Our rehab unit is even smaller than our community gym. We used to be able to use the cardiac rehab equipment, but they closed it and sold the equipment. Bob used to join the YMCA different places where he worked, but we don't even have one of those without driving 45 minutes.

Chrissie: Even though it's not a good thing, we are very much alike where our emotions drive us to make bad decisions relative to food. From the time I was first married, I always turned to food when angry with my hubby....like he really cared the I popped popcorn and opened a bottle of soda when we were fighting. The only person the emotional eating hurt was me, but it's hard to see that "in the moment". Today's a new day and you'll see that big whooshie soon!

Jodi: Hoping you are having an easy time getting back on plan!

My pills may have been old and ineffective, as I took one last night, one this morning and one at lunch time and had no relief with my foot. I just picked up my new prescription and took another one around 7P and it already feels a little better. Also, trying to flush it out with lots of water as Cricket recommended. When I was first provided the diet of foods to avoid in an effort to lower uric acid and to avoid gout, there was nothing on the food list that I even ate. The only thing I really ate on the list was red meat occasionally and I mostly eat chicken and fish.

Just started watching The Biggest Loser. It's strange but these weight loss shows, even though unrealistic for the normal person, seem to help incentivize me as I can see the difference and transformation of the contestants...similar to what I see when looking at Himi's pictures.

Have a good evening, everyone!
