well, this year Gotcha day will be scaled down, b/c Mom is the one who plans everything. We usually go out to eat for dinner at a Chinese restaurant and do other fun family things. This year, we're going to go to Ghengis Khan, one of those Mongolian grill restaurants where you can chose your meat and veggies. I figure that will be safe and relatively dairy free.

I had started to add back some dairy like butter or milk cooked in things and last night I had a sprinkling of cheese on my soup.Max was fussy yesterday, but I'm not sure if that's why or not. Gotta run, he's fussy.

Mmmmm...I love Mongolian BBQ!

girls, just did a search on CC for our old posts, I saw in Arden/Nedra's siggy that she is pregnant!!!!!!

Cristy, thats wonderful! I wonder why she stopped coming here.

There are a shit ton of zealouts in our board. I think it is worse than the old place.

Good morning everyone!!!!!

Okay...headache, day five. And I woke up feeling extremely nauseous this morning, but not like in a migraine way...hard to explain unless you have experienced the migraine barfing. Felt so shitty, I ate crackers just to get something in my stomach.

Wrote out a triage note for Dr D...sick of this shit. Will go home if this continues, didn't even put makeup on this morning. I look hot.

First day without a headache! yay!

but I *know* what mine is. It's my blood pressure. Nicole, I'd go get yours checked. I would have headaches for months, and that was what it was.



K,

Since January 26 (a month today) I have bounced from 190 to 186 up and down over and over.

I've done hard induction; fasting; a cheat meal; raised calories; lowered calories; raised carbs...

WTF?

seriously considering low fat for a month... but I'm afraid of being hungry. (then there's the weee part of me that remembers the kimkins days fondly)

K, just did my monthly summary since that day:

avg carbs 25 a day
avg calories 1550 (my bmr)

10 percent carb
30 percent protein
60 percent fat

I am re-inducting today. But honestly, I am just not feeling this anymore.

I might try to create my own low carb plan. I will reinduct in order to detox and all that, but I just dont think induction is going to do it for me anymore weightloss wise.

I am definately adding back in exercise. My body craves it. Yesterday I ran up two flights of stairs at work, and my legs felt the burn, and wanted it, if that makes sense. They werent tired, they wanted me to keep going.

I dunno, it sounds weird, but I just think my body wants some activity.

Ok, changed my avatar. Damn that pic looks shitty. lol
MandaSue, I have had migraines so bad til I barfed, I have headaches all the time. My dad has always had headaches so I guess it runs in the genes. Sorry to hear your feeling bad today.

Nicole, it makes sense to me about your legs wanting to keep going. LOL. My whole body wants to go alllllll the time, I just want let it most of the time hehehehehe.
I am needing to get into exercising a little more myself come to think of it. I am still holding at 196 and I am really getting pissy about it. I am in a very bad mood this morning and don't know hwy, I just want to hit something. LOL

Migraines for me include barfing, which is why I have prescribed anti nausea suppositories to take, in order to get my migraine medicine to stay down, in order to make the migraine go away.

This however isn't one...it's just constant throb, this morning though I felt completely gaggy.

Just sent supervisor an email requesting I be able to go home if there is someone available to fill me spot. God, I hope so. Still waiting to hear back from Dr D.

Oh, and if one more person kiddingly asks me if I'm pregnant, I'll fucking punch them.

Nicole...I need activity too. Can't wait till it's nice out. And yes, I'm there with completely not being "amused" by this WOE right now either. Something must change.

Cristy...that's cute about "gotcha day"!

Yea! Anniversary time for us

Morning everyone else...sorry I'm not putting in too much effort today. to everyone!

Well, I hope you get better. Have you ever tried that stuff thats called head-on? I've never tried it but I heard it works great. It's kind of like a salve supposibly. Maybe somone can feel you in.

Nicole... what are you thinking of doing to move past the plateau?

What is Quail doing?
