Back from Vacation :)

HI Everyone, Hope all is well I was away on vacation for a week. No computer no TV oh the horror! Actually quite the opposite. Oh heaven. I was fishing on the chesapeake Bay and relaxing on the beach. ahhh... finally a little vacation from the everyday monotony! I was a bit nervous while on vacation since usually thats when you gain but I actually lost about 8 pounds during the week!!! Its only about 10 this month but hey! I was starting to be afraid I wasnt going to loose any so 8 is awesome! I was swimming so I think that had alot to do with it. My pouch is a mystery to me. It does whatever it wants I think. Some days I can eat quite a bit other days I can eat only 3 bites and im stuffed beyond reason. It sucks because you get hungry and really want to EAT! So you take a few bites and get full... and still have that massive head hunger so you sortof "morn" your old ways. But I havent been this size in about 4 years so I am not REALLY morning those old ways I found out that I have lymes disease! I have a bite that is infected on my thigh. Ive been feeling the fatigue from it and some muscle pain in my thigh and wrists. I dumped this morning from cream of wheat (go figure???) dont know why it was weird and I was soooooo sick and nauseous. Being that I was already tired and having the dumping exhaustion on top of it I thought I was going to have to leave work!!! Anyway I have the medicine to take for that 2 times a day and I cannot have any food for 2 hours before and after so this is going to be tricky fitting this into my eating schedule. Well I just wanted to say hello everyone and missed reading all the posts Best wishes! Elizabeth M -69lbs!!!

Welcome back Elizabeth. I spent some time last summer floating on the Chesapeake and fishing. My dad and the four of us kids went by ourselves. No spouses, no kids, it was great. I didn't even have the urge to push one of my siblings overboard the whole time. What a bummer about the Lyme Disease. That sucks. Glad you're back. Connie

Happy girl... know what you mean about pushing the siblings overboard...wonderful that you didnt have to worry about doing that In August I go down with my brother and my sister in law and am nervous about being stuck on that small fishing boat with my father and brother. Good Grief I may just have to give him a little shove... Besides it will probably be hottt out there and I might be doing him a favor I just love the chesapeake bay its my favorite place to be besides the ocean. Thanks for the welcome Elizabeth M
