Hi! I'm baaack... I feel so much better and I can't believe how sick I was! So now that I am better I can start my liquid again...I'm looking forward to it..and within 2 days I will begin going to the gym...I need to feel lighter so I need to drop this water weight. I'm going to weigh myself in a sec. I am going to TRY super hard to do strictly shakes until we go camping on the 29th. We're going to camping from the 29th to like the 2nd or 3rd...which reminds me...I need to submit a time off form.
I was just thinking...OK I'm gonna end up cheating while I'm there but I can eat so healthy while I'm there. Just try and stay away from chips and junk. I can cut up fruit every morning so I have it handy to snack on while everyone else hits the chips.We're going to grill everything so I should be ok! Planning is the key. So we'll see. I really want to order more New Lifestyle stuff but I'm not letting myself until I finish what I have and loose more weight! I feel like I'm starting to look pudgy again. Not that I was thin before but I started to feel better...anyway, today is Monday and "the massive report from you know where" is due today.
Today is Wednesday right? I'm totally off. I feel better today but I'm just barely getting my strength back. The really weird thing is my chest area, like chest bones, they hurt! They are so sore. It hurts to take a deep breath. I know it has to do with the violent throwing up and all that but jeez. I guess I was a little rusty on throwing up since the last time I think I threw up was when I was pregnant with Gabriel. He's going to be 2 in September. So other than the chest pains and muscle spasms (I got one on the other side as well) I am feeling better. No throwing up for the past 12 hours or so. My fever is down but still there....definitely food poisoning. Since I am feeling better I'm not going to the Dr today....unless things take a turn. That happened yesterday after I got off work. I got some more sleep and when I woke up I was hungry so I ate...BIG BIG mistake. I felt frustrated and tired and sick...by the evening though I was better again. So I'm taking it easy. I feel really weird, really really tired. I'm working today at home cause I have more than one crisis with several of my accounts. I should take the day off again so I can just be in bed. Believe me, I thought about taking my laptop into my bed but I would probably fall asleep. I even got dressed this morning, shoes and all so I could feel more professional. Yes I think I'm going crazy too. Till later. God Bless!
*Grosse Post*
Yesterday as I was typing my blog post I felt a little nauseaus but nothing significant. After I posted I worked for another hour or so before making some coffee and while I was making it I started to feel it more. I sat back down at my desk and suddenly had the urge to puke! I went but since my stomach was empty nothing came out. Well, within an hour I was throwing up like every 30 minutes. I started getting warmer and warmer. I laid on my couch on my lunch break and I could feel myself getting worse. Alani was sick too so I kept her home with me. I don't need an outbreak at my babysitters house. She was just laying on the floor all day..... I cut up some fruit for her for lunch and within 5 minutes of her eating it, she ran to the bathroom. I couldn't even keep water down! I am SO dehydrated right now you don't even know.
Anyway, I signed off work 1/2 early. I just could not take it anywmore. My head was pounding, I got a muscle spasm on my left shoulder/neck area from getting so stiff when I was getting sick, it's not been fun.
So all I have been able to keep down is some chicken broth and pretzels (very little chicken broth). I went to bed right after I ate them so I wouldn't get sick. I was up most of the night tossing and turning. I was sweating like crazy and my temperature went up to almost 102. Not too too bad. I am feeling a tad better but still very queasy, migraine headache and the spasm is still there. I took an ibuprofen 600mg right now hoping it will help. Breakfast of champions, pretzels, water and an ibuprofen!
Well...I'm off, I'm only going to work 4 hours today. If I don't improve today I'm going to the dr. God Bless.
Oh Jeez today is really really Day 1 for me. I have been so off track! I so totally did not want to be discouraged this morning so I didn't weigh in what the damage has been from eating badly for a whole week! I got into one of my depressed-weird moods for some reason. I have to come up with a lot of money for lots of different things (Alexis and Alani's school registration being one of them), car registration is due next month for both my Envoy and my van....and a few other MAJOR commitments. But can't really stress on that...I need to focus and stop using that as an excuse to eat brownies and ice cream ;-)
So I say "I'm back up and running"! I will weigh in tomorrow and post the results. Basically I know I'm going to have to loose what I gained which is a huge bummer! Totally expected of me though. I sabotage myself when I see a nice much lower number on the scale.
I am so sore today! I detailed our Envoy yesterday. It needed it BAD! I don't know how many times my kids spilled juice, got crackers all over the place and finally the killer was spilled milk. OKAY....THAT does not smell good! I vaccumed it (which took me like seriously an hour), then wiped down all the doors and dash, the stick shift ma-bobber was so grosse. Alexis washed the floor mats and she said those were filthy. Then I sprayed Spray & Wash on the carpet stains and while that soaked I washed it. We all stayed home from church, well except for my hubby. He drove up and gave me this look like "what is going on"? He saw all the spray bottles of cleaning stuff. The end products is a REALLY clean truck. Now I can drive it. Nobody really does.
So we stayed home from church because my kids are all sick. Gabriel is like a little exorcist. He ate well last night but he was playing with Alani, fell and hit himself pretty hard so the crying made his nose run, then the coughing started and well...let's just say his stomach was empty by the time he was done.
We watched The Debaters after I gave him a bath and put him and Alani to bed. It was pretty good. One of those 'feel-good' kinda movies but with things that bother you. Well I have reports due today and just lots of things to do at work so here's to a great week! God Bless!
Hi! I stuck to walking with Leah last night although she switched it up on me and we ended up in Signal Hill. I took my son with me in the jogging stroller and he fell asleep so it was fine. We talked and got out some emotions. Work was super super stressfull on me yesterday. One gal making things hard. I stress on this person because I get along with everyone and if there is strife somewhere it my life it streses me out. Anyway, I took a nap yesterday after work to get some relief. I was not in good shape at all. I just feel attacked and I asked God for His protection. Once I handed my problem over to Him fully I got that instant relief in the pit of my stomach and from the heavyness in my heart. I could actually feel the relief! Merciful He is.
I'm working on trying to get my blood pressure down. I need to help my poor little heart out. Drinking lots of water and just sticking to what I know is good for me! No weight loss to report. In fact I have a gain but that's the least of my worries. The weight will come off. Priorities.
My kids are well and growing. Alani is becoming a little diva. She likes to dress is "beautiful dresses" as she says. She always tells me I look beautiful. What more can you ask for? My son and the million kisses he gives me a day and Alexis just loves me loving on her. I'm not a hugger but I try hard to be. God and my family wants love and more love from me so this is why I need to be happy, relaxed and at peace with my surroundings and the people surrounding me. Yes even the people at work ;-) God bless.
I haven't weighed and I wish I would of now because I today is the start of my "scheduled" workouts with Leah. She read somewhere that we should schedule workouts and keep them like we do our appointments. So I made a commitment with her to work out for 6 weeks, Mon, Wed and Saturday. I am going to try REALLY hard to workout in between those days even if it's just for 20 minutes. This is the schedule:
Monday -Meet @ the beach at 7pm to walk and go up and down the beach killer stairs.
Tuesday - Walk 20 minutes
Wednesday - Signal Hill Walk
Thurs - Walk 20 minutes
Friday - Do Jillian Michael workout
Saturday - Meet @ beach at 6:30am - walk/stairs.
So that's the plan. I'm doing all day shakes today and tomorrow then all days this week will be shakes and L&G for dinner.
I really want to see new numbers on that scale soon and with these workouts and sticking to my shakes I know it can be done. Till later God Bless!
