Diary of a FAT cow!

[oesdog]

Thanks for the tip. At the moment the Tredmill is in the garage and we have a radio in there so we can listen to those voice novels/crime writers etc. It does help to have a distraction.
You kind of keep going when your interested in a plot and want to hear the end of it. lol

I am trying hard to get doing more and more excersize but the problem is if I overdo it I am in such pain I am not of any usefulness the following day. What with the care issues I have for our lad I can;t be in that situation. At the same time I need to get fit and biuld good muscle tone as I know in the end that will help the fibro. But it sure is a painful journey on both fronts losing weight and excersize!

Oes - the weight loss fairy didn't visit me last night !

Oes, I haven't visited here in a few days so I read back in the threads. Keep up the fight.I,too, have fibro and I know what you mean about overdoing the exercise. Even a long car ride like we had to do yesterday will wipe me out for the next day. I find a soak in a tub of hot water is a real help. Congrats on your progress. I have faith that you will reach your goal and look lovely on your vacation.

10.3 awesome! Before you know it you will be 10 and looking forward to seeing a 9.What was that wonderful low cal filling dinner you made one night?Your weight loss has been going well.Get busy when people start spouting negative things.Wak away.No need to listen.You are doing well.

I am wondering if I will ever get there it is soooooooo frustrating. Where oh where is the overnight fat busting fairy? I am not sure what low cal dinner your thinking about - it will be written down you might have to hunt for it?

I am wondering what I should do this comming week. I think it is "that week" - ???? I usually get depressed and grouchy and have bad migrains so I may rant a bit.

Good job on increasing the protein intake! You can also substitute Greek yogurt for regular yogurt, it has a lot of protein. Hang in there, keep exercising when you can. Just think, soon you will be in a lovely place where you can take walks outside!

 

[oesdog]

Thanks for that. We usually take onken natural no fat yogurt.
Also I am trying to increase the excersize but it is hard and painful. It leaves me drained and thats not good for me. I have felt the fibro has got better with strengthening of the muscles but it is a long hard journey. I think less weight to carry about with me is deffinately a possitive!!!!!!!!
I am pleased about small things like being able to do the zip on my boots up ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!!!!!!!! I still have thunder thighs and I still need to lose some more weight round the belly for sure. The fact that my cardys meet at the front and that I have to tighten my belts to keep up my trousers is massively confidence biulding. I have a long way to go though until I can pop up out of the sea looking like a bond girl!!!!!!! But at least green peace wont be looking a lost whale and I don;t run the risk of getting harpooned!

I am pleased with my progress. Today is my Monthly " I hate this week" So I will be grouchy headachy and generally an old bag. The good thing is though I find I am more able to cope when I have less weight and a tighter stomach. It seems to help "hold things in"! lol. So the weight loss has been possitive in so many ways.

Now Last night the good fat busting fairy visited me and so I am now seeing a very lovely 10.2 on my scale. This means I am very very close to getting that 9 something!
My BMI chart says I should be 9.10 to get a normal reading which is still quite a way to go. I would love to see a 9.9 to be into single figures for the first time in quite a lot of years would be wonderful. I don;t think that will happen for a few weeks yet? To get a normal reading I must lose another 6lbs - I have just 10 days left !!! I don;t think it is possible at this stage in my diet to lose 6 lbs in 10 days? As we all know weight loss slows down and the first weeks loss wont be happening at this stage! So I will just plod on and see how much I can get down.

None I have that awful monthly migrain today and so not great to start working out with.

How do I feel
On the home run!!!!!!!! 6 lbs to go and counting!!!!!!!!! I have not eaten a great deal today mostly because the headache I have had all day has made me feel sick. This happens every month and is usual for me. I wont be eating a great deal because of this reason and not for any other. I tend to get the most awful migrains whatever I do and anyone who has suffered from them will know how sick it makes one feel. If anyone has any sugestions about helping me out with the bad heads would be appreciated. I have tried lots of stuff but nothing helps. I was hoping less coffee might but the bad head is back this month with avengence as ever!

Sweet 10.2! I must admit I do check that spoiler right away.Congrats. I strained yogurt and kefir to make a *cheese* spread for my crackers and rice cakes.Turned out good.Well what will the moo be replaced with, because you can't be calling yourself a cow. Best wishes!

 

[mom'sfolly]

Good job on you!

By the time you get on that plane you'll be a skinny chick for sure!

I too admit to reading the spoiler. You've inspired me. My clothes seem to be a little looser but my scale lies to me. I try to weigh in at the gym, but it is a different time every day.
