Vic’s Weight Loss

So instead today I’ll restrict. Lunch I will skip and then have a little for dinner. I can’t skip dinner since I’m making the St. Louis ribs. I am babysitting so I can do it. I can’t wait until the 1st when I’ll be free. I’ll miss the babies of course but I miss my free time where I can just focus on me.

I’ve been trying to get into the 130s for days but at night I’ve been eating. During the day I’m fine but dinner and night all my resolve vanishes. And plus my sis makes dinner most nights or orders food. And then when I go home my brother makes food or have sweets. Can’t wait until he goes. Every morning and night I have to give him his medicine and he is almost 40. Then I have to take him for his appointments and his medicine. It’s like I have a child and I don’t so can’t wait till he goes on the 1st. Then my mom I have to take her to her appointments and there an hour away sometimes. Then I have to drive in rush hour which just sucks. Then my sister I have to babysit which I love but then that means I have to eat dinner which is usually unhealthy. So I can’t wait until the 1st.

Well today I’m at 142.0 lbs. Ate a lot yesterday! Even had a doughnut!!!

Today I already had breakfast by my sis. Had a fried egg with pork sausage and a hash brown. I also had a McDonald’s coffee with extra cream and Splenda. I also had one Madeline. I wonder how much calories that was. NEway later today I’m having ribs with seasoned rice. I am not worrying about my weight today. I’m going to do something about it on the 1st. Got plenty of time from Aug to Jan so about 5 months!!!
 
144.4 lbs. I ate a lot the past couple of days and ate late last night.

NE ways yesterday I went for a 4.3 mile hike around the lake. It felt good. Then I went to strength train at the gym. Did upper body. I feel a little sore today which feels good.
I had a McDonald’s coffee with creamer and Splenda and breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin.

I’ll try to fast for lunch and dinner. 9 more days before the 1st. I hope I can lose a little weight.
 
143.6 lbs.

Today I’m eating less. For breakfast I had a McDonald’s coffee with creamer. Lunch is a salad. Dinner I’m not sure yet.

This weekend we r going to Santa land or something like that in New Hampshire about 2.5 hrs away. My last weekend with my mom and brother and then they r off!!! Yay!!! Then I will def start back exercise. Planning on walking in incline and will even go on hikes around the lake. Going to strength train too at the gym. Going to concentrate on lower body.
 
144.0 lbs. haven’t been successful at fasting this week. Yesterday I did do the treadmill at an incline. I’m not exercising till next week.
 
It’s only 930 am and so far I had 2 coffee with creamer. Then I had a piece of bread. Then a bagel. Then some rice with salt fish. I’ll try to skip lunch since I had so much calories already.

Today I’m babysitting. In one week I’ll be free. Can’t wait!!!
 
So we went to Santa’s village in nh this weekend. Had doughnuts, pizza, and a cheeseburger. Breakfast was mangoo, fried egg, and loginista. So not to good on the diet.

I think my mom has delirium. She has not been herself since Monday. She doesn’t notice it and says she’s fine. So we r taking her to the doctor tomorrow. She suppose to leave on Thursday but depending on the diagnosis she might have to postpone her trip. St Croix doesn’t have good healthcare. I hope it’s something easy to get fixed.
 
Sorry to hear about your mom's difficulties and the challenges of maintaining good diet and exercise with family around and traveling... that is tough for anyone!! Sending you positive vibes and hoping the fresh week brings you better things <3
 
Sorry about your Mum, Vic. Let's hope it is something that's easily fixed. Maybe a fever?
 
Thanks, myleanbaby and cate.

Spent most of last night at the ER. My mom blood sugar was high and she was low on oxygen. She was diagnosed with having a couple of small blood clots in her lungs. She is going to be under observation with more testing for the next couple of days. They gave her blood thinners.

I don’t know yet if the damage is irreversable. They are still looking for the cause of it. Maybe traveling last month. They said inactivity probably isn’t a factor.

I’m going back to Lahey hospital in Peabody today as soon as I can to see her. She seems so helpless. She usually is so strong. She has so much stuff to do. I don’t even think she has a will or anything.

So that means that her and my brother trip are cancelled. Definitely can’t go on a plane. And too confused to go by herself without help.

I now have to help my brother get his appts for his monthly medicine back.

Because of this I’m getting off my birth control today. Higher risk of blood clots.

I had a great time at Santa Village in nh this past weekend. My mom was less vocal and quite lethargic but I still had a great time with her.

My weight is around 145 lbs. I’m taking a break from worrying about it until my mom is out of the hospital.
 
Well the docs ran some more tests and she had a mini stroke and she has a slight brain bleed.

She got moved to a bigger hospital to Lahey Burlington. Now she is waiting for more tests.

I will go back tomorrow with my brother. I also plan on going to the gym in the morning. I should have went this morning but I went to eat Panera bread instead. Noodles for lunch and dinner was a salad with chicken.

I’m feeling so fat right now.

I don’t think my mom will make it past this week. But I hope that she gets out of the hospital to see her grandkids again. I broke down several times today. But I had to stop because my heart started hurting me. I don’t want to get a heart attack or stroke.

Anyway I want to be more active and healthy especially since my mom is in the hospital.
 
I will try, Cate.

Well now I can’t sleep. Was up last night too. I know I should take my ambien but I want to stay off of it.
 
143.6 lbs.

I got up and went to the gym. I just walked for 10 min only. I plan on going back later today to do more cardio.

Going to visit my mom a little later. My brother is coming with me too. My sis Isabel is going to go this morning. I plan on staying all day. My brother will go home with my sister.

I had an egg for breakfast. Lunch I’m going to eat a salad probably with grilled chicken. Dinner I’m not sure.
 
Thank you, Cate!

I had a steak salad for lunch and dinner I will have salad with chicken when I get home.

Well my mom is doing way better. Almost like herself!!! She is taking a test right now and that should be the last one. She might be able to take a shower when she gets back.

So far things are up!!! She might be out of the hospital this week!!!
 
142.6 lbs.

So my mom should be out of hospital tomorrow!!! She has to take insulin and blood thinners. She can’t travel for months so we would have to go to St Croix to take care of her affairs.

NE ways I had an egg for breakfast with sugar free chocolate. Then lunch and dinner were a chicken salad. I drank a lot of water today. No exercise. Tomorrow I plan on going to the gym early. Then go to my mom.
 
It sounds like your plans for the next few months have changed again then. Good news that she will be ok.
Kudos to you, Vic for eating healthily, while under stress. That's very important :)
 
Yes, Cate. My plans have changed but it’s better than the alternative!!! I’ll try to work on better eating habits and move around more. I’ll try to get up early to make it to the gym.

My mom is leaving the hospital today!!! I’m so happy that she is okay. She is my best friend and I don’t know what I would do without her. Just want to spend as much time with her as I can. She can travel in a month. So I’ll go with her to st Croix so she can fix everything.
