E2E Last

It's been a busy weekend.  The swelling is finally down and my tooth is starting to feel better.  Lots of cooking today and just got home from friends.  I didn't meet my goals and wasn't happy to learn that I could still be thrown so far off course by my emotions.

It's been a long day....had the root canal and some of the prep work done today...but it will be about 6 wks before he is going to do the crown.  Told me to baby the area and avoid hard foods like apples, carrots,  most raw things.  I'm going to have to sit down and figure out what I want to eat as my easy to go to things are mostly out but I know that there is plenty that will work.  I'll be doing that soon and also trying to start some ex.....I'm still not where I need to be to be invested in what I need to do but I'm a lot closer than last week.

First....thank you to everyone that tried to encourage me....and I hope that the others that are having problems get a handle on them in the coming months.  I thought I had gotten past emo eating but these last few weeks have proved otherwise.  When I got to the dentist he decided that I will need a root canal before the crown and blocked out 3 hours for that this week.  I then went on a carb and fat fest for the next 2 days....starting to get a handle on it this weekend...eating tuna and vinegar slaw right now.....but I gained 5 pounds between wed am and today.  I've got cottage cheese and yogurt for after the work on wed and hope i don't get carried away on carbs again.  Since he's around if chewing causes a problem I decided that shredded cabbage might be ok.

Not much to say...I lost the filling in the broken tooth so I've had to eat carefully this week...the appt is this wed but if i have a temp crown after that I'm not sure how much help that will be.

I haven't been good this week....I broke a tooth and my dentist will be out next week and it will be the following wed before I can be seen....therefor no raw vegies, nothing hard to chew.  i have had oatmeal, cottage cheese, potatoes, hot dogs, eggs, bread, etc.  Some things are good but some aren't.  Oh well it could be worse....this will probably just be costly....a crown i guess.  I'm beginning to think that I will have to thank you all for seeing to it that i haven't gained a ton back with all the crazy this challenge.  My son said it is starting to hurt less....but we had to change his spring break plans as he is limited in what he can do and he has to be able to go to wound care....he's seeing if he can work out going to Seattle.  On to the soso news

Sorry

It's been a long week and I haven't been online much.  Flew to Cali and he seemed to be doing OK but then on Wed night he got sick and on thur after trying to talk to the surgeon's nurse we decided he needed to be seen and got him a same day appt. Nice doc and after he took the mix of meds he began to feel better.  I did weigh on his scale but no way to do anything much else.

It's been an emotional week....but i have been better with my eating. Told myself that donuts don't help and have been avoiding the late night eating, even though i am not sleeping well.  My son's surgery is tomorrow and as my dh and I had a fight we agreed that part of it is worry....but maybe we cleared the air some...only time will tell.  Also my birthday is this week and its not helping. On to the good and bad.....

busy week at work...but I'm trying to do some better.  Weight was 250 this morn.  Do feel like I'm getting a cold and my allergies are bad due to the crazy weather.  More on Sunday.

E2E wk 7

This may be mid point......but  I'm not there.  Watching is keeping me better off than if I wasn't ...but I need to move on to the downward  steps rather than stay on level.  Now that I said that.....I will try to work on how.  I'm stress eating which I should not do....a piece of chocolate does make me feel better...but it needs to a little piece of dark.  That said on to the info.

Well it's not been a good week weight wise.  My son is going to have surgery later this month and my dh and I have been figuring out what to do....we finally decided he will go the day before his surgery and i will join them 2 days later.  Then we worked on flights which re really high right now....finally figured out how to use flier miles but had to pay fees on some due to not enough advance notice...but was exactly on date for our return so i got everything separate.  So sorry but between work and this I didn't get to a lot of blog reading this week.  I did make time to see the Voice.......great show imo.  They are so much more relaxed this year...you can see it in their actions.....I got an email for tickets and my son didn't want to go.  Also we made plans for my birthday and the concert got put off, made another set and now another concert I want to go to is the same day...will see if the tickets for that come thru...if they do i will sell the ones I have.....It figures that both things would be the same day.  Well i guess I put this off as much as i could....

Didn't like my weight today....250.  It's been a busy week...I've decided I need 2 months off to catch up on paperwork.  Everytime I turn around it seems that a new form has been added.  In order to do what I used to be able to do with an oral request I now have to fill out a 3 page form and add a specific note......I'd pull out my hair if it wasn't falling out on its own from all this.

On the good side The Voice is back....I really enjoyed it last year and so far it looks to be great again.  Trying to move some to the music while watching.  That's it for tonight ...hope it's a good week.

Messy week....but I am starting to feel a bit better and I expect to do better.  I'm currently baking a sweet potato,  to be followed by a pork lion and will have broccoli.  Dessert is berries and FF rediwhip.  I kept looking at the chips and dip but didn't get any.  For the bad news:

Last week caught up to me and I actually saw 250 one morn....today is 248.  I am feeling better and sleeping better so I've been trying to get back on track.  I have a bunch of paperwork for work and I'm trying to catch some of that up so that's what I'll be doing today.

It is getting better

Sorry.....as my prev post notes, it was a bad week.  Friday was a hard day, but the funeral was about as good as one like this could be.  This was part of the obit:
Cindy wanted to thank everyone for all their thoughts and prayers. When God closes a door he opens a window. When something bad happens, something good comes out of it, of course, on God’s time.
Her pastor spoke a lot about her and how it was a loss even if going to god was good....he walked a good line for a funeral like this...though we all just wanted to cry.

For me tomorrow starts getting everything back on track...my weight has varied from 247 to 247.5 this week and I've been mostly using that as a way to follow.  So

weight 247
waist 51
fluids mostly ok
tracking not really
exercise pacing
reading lots of thinking and some escape reading
support not really, I tried a couple of time but sat there and couldn't think of anything positive to write

my window will be being better next week

Midweek 4

I decided I need to post a little about Fri.  For 26 years I have worked with her father and known the girl I'm writing about....she had a baby about 3 yrs ago and shortly after that began having gallbladder problems(not uncommon). She saw the surgeon and it was decided to remove it, while in there he noticed a swollen lymph node....looked around and found lymphoma.  She was one of the most positive persons with cancer i have known, thruout her chemo,  loss of hair, and various treatments and hospitalizations.  At almost one year post her 1st major treatment it looked like she was going to beat it and planned a cruise with her husband....it never happened as within that month it came back.  She cont to fight until late last year, when there was nothing left to try....on Thur night I got the call that she had died.  On Fri I had just gotten off the phone from talking to her dad before I posted, yesterday i spoke with her mom and dad........the funeral is Friday.  I had to go to a work related meeting last weekend.....this week I'm working, thinking about her a lot and how lucky I am to have seen my kids grow up, etc.  I've been reading for escape and trying not to overeat, but not tracking and not reading blogs that much.  I've checked on my buddy who I hope hasn't given up but can't manage much support....it will be better after Fri.

Wt 247

Sorry my feeling this week is.....it can be so much worse, give some love to your kids, family, friends, ...we never know what tomorrow may bring.

Definitely a blah week.  Work is busy and I'm trying to get some bills paid and paperwork done.  Eating has been up and down....I'll eat just right and then be hungry late and grab something not so good or somethings good but too much of.  Weight today is 247.5.  Gonna read some blogs as I eat lunch.
