Thanks Maddy and Lilith. Yes I can feel it in my pant waist a bit.

alright, I'm owning up to my day. I made it to the gym, but was simply exhausted. I didn't do as much as I normally would, but I went, I sweated and I can write it down.

I didn't eat enough today. I haven't actually calculated yet, but am very certain I didn't hit my allowance. I'm not over, which is a positive, but I think I'm quite a bit under, which is equally not good.

I learned while watching tv this weekend that you can use coinstar machines to count your coins and not pay the fee if you get a gift card to certain stores instead of the cash. I'm totally excited, I have a huge collection of change and itunes is one of the options. I'm taking my change in this weekend and going to give it a try. Just thought I'd pass that info along.

Great news!^^^

I ate horrible yesterday. I went out with friends, ate the Applebees chicken apple walnut salad but then ate that chocolate lava stuff

Today for a giggle I tried on a pair of pre-surgery shorts. They fit. It's great news because it means that even though I am swollen up like a blowfish, with the tumor gone and when the swelling goes down I will indeed be a smaller person

Congrats, Lil!

I had a bad day yesterday too. I ate too much, was stressed over work and my final, was at work until after 8 pm...and I didn't work out.

I hope today will be a better day, but it's already screaming *STRESS*

<sigh> I know I must prioritize my health more.

Just checking in after a few days. I've been doing well but am really lacking in the energy department. I feel like I can't sleep enough, and small workouts are leaving me exhausted. If I don't shake this soon, I suppose I'll have to see my doctor, but I'm not ready for another set of tests to figure out what my problem is... I'm not done with the previous two sets yet *sigh*.

I know Lilith was asking about the Quizno's flatbread salads... I'm changing my previous review. I think the Classic Cobb is my favorite "fast food" salad. I just had one for dinner tonight. I like that they throw it together while you wait, unlike other fast food places that pull it out and hand it to you pre-made and the salad is crammed in the small container rather than all "fluffed" up.

I plan on reporting good news in the morning, when I do my official weigh-in.

How's everyone else? I miss hearing everyone's daily update.

Forgive me sisters for I have sinned... you know about the Dibs,





and the fried chicken, and the laffy taffy. Oh and the oatmeal raisin cookie.

But here is what I am doing right. I am managing to drink no less than 72oz. of water daily. Of course I can't sleep cause, well you can imagine but I keep telling myself I am flushing all the chemicals and nasty stuff out of the swollen tissues.

I am officially a dress size smaller than I was prior to the surgery despite still being swollen like a puffer fish and weighing about 10 pounds less than when I went in to surgery but still 10 up from my lowest since we started supporting eachother here.

I was pretty good the past two days, including good cardio workouts (I need to do more weights, though). Well, good except for a small pre-Hut encounter with a 1/2 bag of Tostito's Lime chips.

Maddy, good luck with your weigh in!

Woohoo, I lost 1.8 lbs this week.

Lilith, I'm glad to hear you are getting your water in, that is something I am struggling with greatly. I don't drink any other liquids, so one would think I'd be thirsty, but I'm just not.

osuche, glad to hear you are getting the workouts back into your schedule. I probably could use more weights too.

I know you all thought I'd dropped off the face of the earth ... kind of have ... but here's my report from where I'm dangling! (LOL) ... Still haven't managed to get my eating back under control ... but am also grateful to say that I'm still a long way from being as "bad" as I was before this year 's decisions. This morning I put on a new bra ... another size down and that feels wonderful to me ... some progress anyway ... wish I were making more in the area between my waist and my knees, but progress is still good. So proud of the rest of you and how you are hanging on as well ....

Oh I'm dangling too but trying.

A size smaller is superb fzzy! waist----knees grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Me too. Just keep doing it to feel better. Let weightloss just be the bonus

Glad to see you checking in fzzy, I was wondering about about you and I'm glad you're still hanging on ... even if it's barely.

I've found a replacement for my daily ice cream craving, I've been eating a big bowl of sliced strawberries sprinkled with just a teaspoon of sugar. It's got the sweet bit and it's just damn good.

I also find I'm adverse to vegetables lately, I'd much rather have fruit. As a matter of fact, other than the salads I had last week, I didn't touch the veggies. But I've been eating the strawberries, cherries, bananas, apples and watermelon.

I've been working out, and eating marginally better. These things are good.

However, I still don't feel that great. I've been running random fevers, I still hurt often, and my mouth surgery didn't solve the problem. There are other things, too. So many complaints my belief that a Dr is going to solve my problems is very small. <sigh>

I'm hoping that a vacation and some stress reduction may help.
