The Tattooed Lady

Sheri really is doing a lot better. Believe me she is a junk food junkie. She is also working on smoking cessation. She sneaks a cig every now and again but hopefully will soon get the habit kicked for good. As for losing weight I would hope this would come with simply eating healthier and getting some exercise. I have started her lifting weights because she is very weak to be 180lbs. She has improved greatly at skating and can stay up on those skates for an hour. When she started she could barely make it 10 min. without resting. :D

I hurt my back yesterday so I was not in good shape to help with her morning workout. Hopefully we can get back on track tomorrow morning.
 
Keep it up!

Keep it up you are doing great! Sounds like you have been improving your diet big time! Though it may not be perfect, it is pretty darn good for the "junkfood junkie".:D You are lucky to have Greene supporting you, my friends and family just roll their eyes if they see me turn down a desert and get a fruit instead.
 
Thanks bumblebees, yes Greene is a good support. He rides my a@@ at times, but he does it out of love plus he knows I need it. Give your family time to come around to your needs. If they don't, just remember you have us. Just because you have one bad day doesn't mean it's all bad. Tomorrow is another day. Just pick up where you left off and try again.

I took my daughter to the dr today because she has a "dirty rash" around her neck and it wasn't going away. Greene and I looked it up on the internet and it said that it was caused of diabetes, hormonial, or it could be nothing. The dr said I had to get her blood and insulin drawn. So needless to say, it wasn't a good afternoon. I'll know more tomorrow or Wednesday when the dr gets the results. This really gives me an incentive to eat better.

B - 3 eggs and oatmeal
No afternoon snack
L - Steak, Corn on the cob, Potato
S - Yogurt cup
Supper - Tuna, salad mix, cheese on a whole wheat tortilla, cottage cheese

I'll update later about the rest of my night
 
Thanks bumblebees...I feel so helpless not knowing anything and not knowing what to do. Today is the day to go to the lab, so hopefully soon I will know something.
 
5/23 afternoon

The dr hasn't called yet with the results and it's eating away at me. I can't sit and do nothing. Yes this would be the perfect time to exercise, but I'm not in the mood. I didn't work out this morning because of taking her to the lab for the blood drawing. I took her out for breakfast and she wanted McDonalds. I was a good girl and didn't order anything. A) didn't have enough cash on me and B) nothing looked good/wasn't hungry. Unfortunately, in the past 2 days, I've smoked 4 cigs and ate 2 candy bars.

I skated for probably 15-30 min last night. My boyfriend made a comment that I took completely wrong, so that set my night off. Everything he says or does, I take so completely wrong, it's not funny. My emotions are just shot. Last night all I did was cry.:( I eventually cried myself to sleep.:(

ARGH! Why are dr so slow in getting and reading the results!!!:( Wish they would hurry up. Will update when I know the results.
 
I know how rough that can be, but don't let it crash your life style change, I hate the word diet! lol You and your family WILL get through this all, if it is diabetes, it can be controlled, we have wonderful technology in this day :). Love seeing your progress, and look forward to seeing your results as well as your daughters, I will keep her in my prayers, btw how old is she?
Sara
 
Sara...she's 5 and going to start kindergarten in August. OMG, she has so much energy, I wish there was a way to bottle it and sell it. If I can figure it out, everybody on the forum has first chance to buy it. I'll sell it really cheap...lol :)
 
Yikes!!! She sounds like my son, he's 6 and also have a daughter 7 they are only 12 months and one week apart, lol BAD planning :)) but I love em :).
 
5/24

Still waiting on the dr to call. In a little bit better mood today, but didn't work out this morning, but am eating better, or least I hope I am.

Yesterday meals
B - oatmeal, smoothie
S - don't think I had one
L - salad, tuna sandwich, cottage cheese
S - apple
Supper - beans/weenies, baked potato, vegetables
I know supper wasn't so hot, but that's what we can still afford

Didn't do any cardio, but hopefully I can do some tonight.

I know this isn't looking good on my part, but I hope I can get over this slump soon.

Ah yes, the smoothies I drink have 0 fat, 70 calories,and 12g of sugar. I don't think they are that bad, but I could be wrong.
 
Got the results today, they were normal, but need to see the dr again. She will go tomorrow.

Skated 45 minutes at the park. Did 6 laps, my personal best. Fell down and scraped my arm and bruised my leg.

B - oatmeal, smoothie
S - banana
L - salad, cottage cheese, tortilla
S - tuna
Supper - steak, potatos, biscuits and gravy
No snack, late supper
Supper not greatest again, but food choices are getting better.
 
Wow your food has definately improved alot. Keep it going you are doing REALLY good! Thumbs up to the hubby for support.

Best wishes to your daughter as well, hope everything turns out good.

Greene and I are no longer together. I haven't moved out only because of my money situation, so that means no more weight lifting but I can still get my cardio. He suggested going up to the local gym, so there's an idea when the money is there.

D-day with the dr again at 10:30a. Will let everybody know later what happened.
 
The dr said that they are still waiting for the results of the insulin test. If it comes back high, she is going to a pedriciation. If it comes back normal, then 2 other tests will be done. If those come back normal, then she goes to a pedriciation. Hopefully the results will be in Tuesday.

As for the "diet", it will go alot better now that Greene and I are back together. After 3 days of talking, we came to an agreement that I'm on my 9th life and this is my final chance at making it work. If it doesn't work this time, then it's over for good.
 
No weights since my mom and dad are in town for the holiday weekend. Did play tennis for 30-60 minutes and bicycled for 50 min. My legs are feeling it. I'll be surprised if I can work tomorrow.
 
I helped Sheri measure yesterday but we did not get the numbers posted. There was some improvement but not much in others. We have added tennis to our activities but I am having trouble getting her to strength train. Sat. We chased tennis balls then Sheri rode her bike while Kegan and I skated. Last evening we chased tennis balls again but I had not eaten and got sick :( .

Perhaps with most of our relationship trouble behind us for now and the end of the Memorial Day weekend we can get back on track.

Sheri 5' 1/2"..........04/02/06................05/28/06
Weight.......................179......................180-186
Neck.......................................................13.75
Arm............................14.5.....................14
chest.........................42.5......................43
Stomach....................40.........................38
Waist...........................39.4.....................38
Hips.............................45.5.....................45
Upper Leg...................24........................26
Calve...........................16.5
BF% (tape measure)..50.00%...............48.00%
 
I know it's been awhile since I wrote in my journal, but it was a weekend holiday and I was with family. I half ass ate healthy, but could have been better. Greene has been sick so he hasn't been working out and I need to but I haven't either. There is no excuse on my part, so hopefully this week I'll get back into the routine. I'm sure I should be "yelled at" for not exercising, so take ur best shot. I deserve it.

On the upside, Greene and I have been getting along wonderfully. I hope it doesn't change.
