Inconvenient Annoyances

I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks an have stuck to the diet 85% of the time as well. Dh & I went to eat with our friends last Thursday evening an everyone else had dessert but me. my dietitian said as long as I stick to the diet 80% of the time I should still lose weight. well I weighed myself today at the gym I weigh the same as I did 2 weeks ago I'm seriously not a Happy Bunny at all    in the last 14 days I would say I have been to the gym 11 out of the 14 days so why haven't I lost any weight at all even a single pound would have been nice but no nothing!!     my trainer thinks I need to up my portions for the amount of excercise I do. I will definitely be having a chat with my dietitian on Wed Morning about what I can do to change things around.

My stress myself out until I am too sick to eat diet appears to be coming along fabulously!   

Sounds like more chicken-n-noodles & Amish cinnamon rolls are in order!  If only I could keep myself out of them & get you to eat them ALL. 

Shugga, maybe it's all the muscles you are putting on. 

Just a crap, stressful, sad, worrying day 

I can't stand it when people support a cause incorrectly.  Yes, let's get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood because the government money is going to pay for abortions and that's all they do.  

Get your *bleepity bleep bleep* facts straight please.

American bureaucracy.  Why oh why should being an American hurt someone else's chances of getting a bleeping visa?

Extreme  nausea, headaches and fatigue. 

Hope it's better by today.

My trainer also mentioned that since I already lost alot of weight & I don't have alot of weight left to lose that it will be harder to lose it 36 lbs to me isn't anything to sneeze at in my book.     now that wasn't something I really wanted to hear but she is the trainer so she knows what she is talking about.   

Shugga, it is true that the more weight to lose the faster it comes off. I know lots of women from Slimming World that go like gangbusters until they are 5-10 lbs from target weight and then they're frustrated cause they're only losing a half pound every few weeks or so.

My IA: I have wanted to be asleep for the past two hours but sproglet has had other ideas and I couldn't get comfortable and it's making me more and more cranky so hubby reading with the light on was annoying me etc.  I'm gonna try going back upstairs in a couple minutes cause I think the sprog may be asleep now (or at least not kicking me in the ribs).

As predicted I had a crap nights sleep. Bright side is DD is feeling better and hasn't puked yet today and I'll be downing coffee like it's going out of style.

Hope it's better by today.

Thanks. I'm feeling a bit better, but the super strong antibiotics (Erythromycin, 2000mg per day!  ) are seriously jacking up my stomach. I've been on them for a month now and I'm really hating these more than the last ones I was on for three months. The last few weeks, I didn't take the full dose because I couldn't remember to take it four times per day, but now I'm trying to do what I am told and take them all day long, every day this week to minimise chance of another infection. Ugh. I'm thinking I need to order some probiotic supplements this week to take when I finish all of these. I'm sure any friendly bacteria within five miles of me has made a run for it. 

I have a wicked headache and I'm having another stressful day

Another rejection letter for a job.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong. 

I really want to lose 10lbs. by summer, but I am having trouble working up the motivation to actually stick to a diet. 

Try approaching it in a different way, not thinking of it as a diet (and thus deprivation) but as trying new recipes?

Thanks, Slices. That's how I successfully lost weight in the past - I don't really feed into the idea of "diets" per se. However, I find it difficult to lose weight the same way I did many moons ago. I ate mostly vegetarian meals and cooked with little to no oil. Now that I live with DH, I can never cut meat out of anything, and overall he just is a bad influence on me. It's just a matter of setting my mind to it, I know. I'm just having trouble getting to that state of mind again!
