Good Morning Janine and Cali,
Okay so here's the deal. For a week everyday I stepped on the scale I was up another lb or more and to say it was freaking me out was an understatement. So last thurdsay after my 9lb gain, I spoke to Kirsten and she said it sounded like my sodium was off and gave me some suggestions to try. I did it on Friday and by saturday 4lbs were gone again. Unfortunately I also began to Flo so I think it was a combo of the two.
The good thing is that this morning a total of 6 of the 9 are gone. I don't consider it an add to the loss column as I am still up 3lbs. But I am thrilled to be down and even proud of myself that as I faced that scale everyday I kept my food exatly as it was suppose to be.
On another note the first thing I put in my mouth everyday makes my pouch hurt for a period of 15 to 45 minutes. So I have to have an upper GI this morning. Of course I woke up with tummy pain and I can't eat anything until after the test. This is going to be a fun morning.
Everyone enjoy the day

Morning Janine and Cali!
I'm finally able to say I'm down 2 lbs . . . Yea . . . I'll take it . . .
My counterpart comes back to work today . . .yea also . . .that should take some of the stress away . .. next it will be her turn when I'm out . . .
Now I'm debating whether I should start driving to work rather than take the trolley . . . because 90% of the people on the trolley in the mornings are coming from "swine flu central" . . . I'm thinking it can't hurt to drive for a month - find the $5 lot . . .and see where this flu thing goes . .. I'm going to be out for 6 days so it won't cost me much more than my pass would cost . . . other than gas and time. I just have to keep $5 bills on me all the time for the parking which is a pita because I don't do cash lol.
Hang in there Monica . . . you sound like you are getting back on track . .. way to go!
Have a great day everyone!

Well I am back where I started before I went on vacation and forgot my water pills. That took 8 days of peeing myself to death. Or at least that is what it felt like. FUnny thing my legs are still a bit swollen so there may be more water weight to go. At least Ihope so. I did wake up this morning with a salty taste in my mouth, God I hope I did not eat hidden salt or MSG or I am screwed. Some chinese places still use that and oh my goodness does it make me swell up. Sometimes it gives me a horrible headache. Enough negativity for one day. I have family coming in this weekend and that should be fun. We are planning on going hiking with them and I always love my hikes. We will also sit and chat and just hang out and that is always nice too. Well today I just need to clean and organize and do my usual thing. I got out of having to go to the school and help with testing as they finished yesterday. I finally put away the 4 million pieces of clothing I got at the coffee on Sunday, I was such a pig, but wow was it fun. I think I now have every color shirt and pants and shorts that has ever been made. I was in a mood so I organized my closet (again and always) lol so everything is super organized in sections and then by color, it looks like a rainbow in there. Best it has ever looked. Boy you can get so many more 14's in than 28's and 3-4 X's lol WEll I have blabbed enough for one person, talk to you all soon and be nice to you today remember you deserve it.

Good Morning Janine and Cali friends,
Put me down for losing 1.5 lbs this week. I am now fitting in to 18's (not bad from 26's) and XL misses on the top. Yee haw. Slowly but surely. Heavens knows I need clothes so bad and while I don't mind going to Goodwill or conisgnment stores, our Goodwill is just so jammed and nothing is sized and half the times there are no tags in the clothes... UGH I hope our clothing exchange this Sat. will help.
Well today brings a Safety meeting for me to moderate and that's about it for work other than the normal stuff.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Stay safe.
Hugs,
Barb

Good morning Janine and Cali,
Well I manged to lose a pound this week (even with my visit to sin city). I has been non stop since I got home. I guess that is what happens when you take time off. Not sure I even rested while in Vegas, not because of all the things you can do, but the wind the first night was whipping a palm tree up side of our window. The next night I was in emergency with my dad for 6 hours, who needs sleep! I did by that point, but I guess I survived.
Hope everyone has a great day.
