Good morning everyone. I'm off work today and I actually live the closest of all the nurses...only 1.5 miles from work. I just lucked out and wasn't scheduled to work today. I have 3 days off and need to get to the gym but I bet it's not open today either. It's 24 degrees here and VERY ICY. Clay is waiting until later before he ventures to work.
My tummy HURTS this morning for some crazy reason. That never happens to me so I hope it's just simple gas or something. Anyway, I just plan to sit in front of the fire, watching TV today. So add me to the list of those not feeling well...

I had a really good food day yesterday UNTIL last night...why do I graze so much while watching TV? I ate a cup of salty pistachios plus 1/4 cup of raisenettes. Then I wonder why the scale is UP 0.8 today. All totalled yesterday I ate 1500 calories and got in 93 gm of protein. A "normal" person wouldn't gain on that so why do we? Oh, this weight thing is such a mystery. Anyway, I'm still in range and hopefully will get in some exercise today. It's so cold and slippery I'm not going to try to go to the gym, so I guess it's another session with "Maya", my Wii personal trainer.
I better go make a protein shake and come up with a plan for the other 2 meals today. It certainly is too cold to grill outside so I better think of a high protein indoor meal.
Time to shout out to some people...Loni, Jenny, Patsy, Lalocaweta, Susan, Dana, Sandi...where are you ladies??? I have a list of goals for you ladies on the original post and haven't heard from you lately. Hope you're doing well and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

Charlene I'm so excited for you. I hope it's everything you want and need in a job. I know that they'll come to know and love you like we do.
I'm also excited that you have a plan to get back on track. We would love it if you posted on the "challenge" thread. We're going to keep it up after the "official" 30 days is over. Even if you can't post until night-time, it will help you to be accountable.

Yesterday was good again: Calories 1093 Protein: 93 Weight: -0.6 lbs.
Yesterday I stuck to my plan except I didn't have a dinner plan. We had Pei Wei catered in at work so for dinner I had about 6 bites of chicken, nothing else.
Today is more of the same: Breakfast: protein drink, lunch meat mini sandwich and fruit for lunch, shrimp salad for dinner, have healthy snack packed.
Gotta run to work, be careful on the roads today.

So sorry to hear this Que. I'd lend ya mine but with 3 herniated discs you probably don't want mine either. Luckily, mine haven't bothered me too much since i lost the weight but the simplest thing will set it off. Thank God for my chiropractor. He's managed to keep me away from the surgeon many times over. It's a shame you're so far away cuz my hot tub is so helpful when mine's acting up.
One quick exercise I learned years ago really helps when mine is "out". Lie flat on your stomach on the floor (with your arms at your sides) for 2-3 minutes. Then raise up on your forearms/elbows for 2-3 minutes, then push up with your hands with your elbows locked until you're arching your back. That helps the disc to slide back in. Do it as often as you can until the pain is better. Hope it helps. Regardless, I got ya in my prayers.

Morning...Calories were good yesterday but protein was low. Also a weekend with very little exercise and it showed this morning. I'm up 0.6 lbs. I really think my body has decided that's where it wants to stay and I'm just gonna have this 2-3 lbs range. If that's the case, I'm happy cuz in a million years I never would of thought I'd ever be a size 10.
Plan for today is more of the same. Protein drink for breakfast, ham/cheese on mini croussant for lunch but I have no idea for dinner. I had planned on leftover pot roast but it just had no flavor so I'm feeding it to the dogs.
Have a super day and make good choices!!

S A I N T ??? Those of you that KNOW me would NEVER use that term, lol!! I'm just glad that this challenge has helped so many of us (me included). I was so afraid when I started this that a lot of people would drop out in the first week but I'm thrilled that so many have stuck with it. If we continue I hope more people will jump on board with us...as we know, it's never too late to start.
