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.

midweek 3

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.

I Can Do Better.

E2E wk2

Definitely an up and down week.  Part of this is the way I've been feeling...just not great.  But I expect it will get better and with the better i will do better.  At this point I am just gonna keep on trackin along.

weight  247(same as last wk)

waist  51(same as last week)

cal  av 1540(more than the 1400 I decided to aim for but less than the 1600 my doc rec)

fluids 12+ 7/7(getting easier to remember)

ex  2/3(but I finally found my pedometer and am wearing it.....this should get me doing more mvt)

tracking  7/7(getting easier to remember to do)

support   done(I tried to get to everyone, if I missed let me know so I can make sure you're on my list)

reading  one of the books i ordered...nutrition and diagnosis...came and I'm going to be looking thru that a bit...I'll try to post a bit out of it....the vit book is still on back order....maybe if we have a summer challenge it will be here by then

When I got to fluids i decided to get up and get something to drink....picked up my bottle from the fridge and the top came off and it went everywhere....guess I can't count it.

last but not least

I CAN do this

Have a good week everyone and remember there is strength in a group that is greater than just the sum of its parts.......so WE CAN DO THIS

Midweek 2

Welllll here we are,  the mid point of the 2nd week.  In some ways its been harder and in other easier....I've been tracking for a week now and getting back into the habit and its becoming easier.....but the exercise is not.  I'll plan to do something and then by the time i get home from work and make dinner all i feel up to is sitting.  I've got to figure this one out.  Morning doesn't work  for me as I'm going to need to start getting up to do paperwork in the morn.  Part of the problem is that when I diet i need more sleep....I'd eat to get by with less sleep....and by the way there was a study that showed people who slept less tended to be fatter.

Weight today 246

I've been trying to stay more up with reading on everyone and for today I think I will go with....

We CAN do this!

E2E wk 1

The 1st week is down and I'm having to really work at it to try to meet my targets.  My kids left on Wed and I started tracking then.....I'm still not measuring everything but I am getting better.  I found my drink bottles today but we couldn't find the bottle i use to mix them up.......we moved all those things out of the kitchen over Christmas......in fact I'm leaving out all my knick-knackey things as I have other things that take priority this weekend.

weight 247  which is a loss of 2 pounds...happy face

waist  51 which is a gain of 1 inch...sad/confused face

cal  1315 av over the 3 tracked days.....met goal

fluids  12+ daily....met goal

ex  2x....met 2/3 of goal

reading  not met

support met....10+ blogs read and commented on

buddy  I've been checking  bluezy's blog every time i get on my computer...enjoying her comments and leaving some.....hope everything works out  for her.

I CAN do this......and my goal for this week is to to track every day AND to find my pedometer.....the bike needs something done to it and may have to be replaced as my ex choice.

Hope everyone else had a good week and I'll be trying to get to the blogs I missed last week

Midweek....1

I've decided to try to weigh midweek also....some weeks I weigh daily but I'm not probably posting that....today i remained at 248. 

I've just come from dropping my kids at the airport to fly back to Cal.   They take the same plane partway.  It was nice having them home for Xmas.  Of course we had to lunch in the city but i kept my amounts small and I stopped at Sams for a big bag of salad and one of cabbage as well as berries.  I've left comments at 6 of you so far and I'll try to get to the rest by next week....I'm catching up on what you all posted for the last few weeks so it's a bit slow going.  I've left some comments at my buddy's blog and I hope she does all right.

Time to go track my food....I can do this...right!
