I have the flu...again URGH

Well I guess it's been a few days since I've posted anything new. I've been sick since alst Wednesday. That sucks because I really wanted to get my 3 days in at least this week in Boogie Box. I can barely keep my head up to type this and today I take my last dose of Zithromax. Hopefully I'll get better this week so I can make up the lost days of Boogie Box. But at least since bring on the new thyroid medication I have consistantly lost at least 1 pound a day! Whoopie! I think my metabolism is finally getting back to normal! No more freezing hands and feet, no more getting cold a little too much and I actually have more energy, even with this flu!

I need to go take a nap now so I'll write more later.

Boogie Box Round 2

In Boogie Box today we did the whole Round 2! I find it actually easier then round 1, unless it's just the fact that my doctor finally put me on Cytomel and Levothyroxine instead of just Levothyroxine. I have to take those pills for my Hypothyroidism. Yes I have that too. Bummer. But since I eat hardly anything and when I do it's all clean, and I work out like crazy every day and I haven't lost enough weight yet the doctor thinks I may be lacking on my T3 as I was just taking T4 before and I need both. Wish we weight loss luck!

Check out my fellow Test Group friend: Kerrie's Blog

Well Dede had a guy film the class on Monday night...or was that last Wednesday? Oh sheesh, my memory is going! Anyway, I hope the videos from that come out soon! I was in the front of the class, good thing I had my hair down and makeup on! ha ha. Scary. Oh and the camera makes people look 10 pounds heavier, oh my, can't wait to see that, right. Today I was beat in class, I worked out in the home gym after I got back from class last night and my legs actually started to give out on me today in class, I sweated up a storm too, lovely.

A nice lady in class named Kerrie Buncher gave me information on a book called Fiber 35 here's Kerries link to her blog: http://www.kerriesblog.com/ , it's a book about eating at least 35 grams of fiber a day. Pretty good info in it and after talking to Kerrie and Maria about....Lentils I went to Trader Joes and got some. Also bought some Almond Butter for use on Celery instead of peanut butter. Almond butter was great! I just need some recipes for those Lentils. They didn't taste so terrific with just spray margarine and a little salt. Yuck. Any ideas?

Lost more then 4lbs in 4 days!

Hello again! I'm feeling much better today considering I've been losing over a pound a day! I believe it's from all that water I drank (not smart that I drank it all right before I was measured for the month!!) duhr. But since last Thursday I've lost over 4lbs! WOW, that 9lbs of water really made me gain water weight. I have wore out my ipod....again...and need to get another one so I can track how many miles we all go in Boogie Box. I'll use my husbands ipod tonight and tomorrow and let everyone know tomorrow afternoon how far we went in class. And

here's another silly picture of me in October 2008 running the Long Beach International Marathon. See, I'm always trying to lose weight! Luckilly I've lost 15lbs since then.

Weight Loss & Boogie Box in March

I wonder if drinking a gallon of water a day is such a great idea. I mean it weighs what? 9 lbs? I really doubt if I've peed 9 lbs worth of water even in 2 days! I heard that people are only supposed to really drink when they are thirsty and also before, during and after exercise. That's my plan for now on. I've also decided to start working out 4 hours a day. I need to lose weight and if that's what I have to do, I'm going to do it! See this picture? It's me at a Max Muscle store as I was on Team Max Muscle signing autographs along with the guy next to me (his name is Clark Bartram)...he loves himself a lot! ha ha. Anyway, that again is a picture of me at my goal weight. In this picture I was 132 lbs.

Sad today

I'm very sad and upset today. I have to call my doctor to have tests done or something as I haven't lost any weight this week. I actually gained weight. I have been drinking a gallon of water a day and no sodas. I don't know, maybe I just hold water too much and too long. I'm very sad and depressed. I feel like a fat cow. I was measured by Dede and I gained inches in some areas and stayed the same in others. That sucks.

I feel so fat and old and ugly. Nothing to do with Boogie Box, it’s just me feeling depressed that I have let myself get out of shape. I don’t want to be able to tell people I’m a diabetic and have them not look surprised. I want it the way it used to be when I would tell people I was a diabetic and they would say “Wow really? You don’t LOOK like a diabetic”, and I used to get upset and think “WTF is a diabetic supposed to look like?”. But I know they were talking about the 95% of diabetics that are out there, Type 2 diabetics who are usually overweight. Now they don’t seem surprised when I tell them I’m a diabetic and that makes me really sad.

I AM my Goal picture

Well I was thinking about how after a certain age you gain like 5 pounds a year. And I realized in 2000 I was 50 lbs lighter then I am now. WTF? That's actually 6 lbs a year that I've gained since 2000. Wow that sucks. I mean yes I'm losing it now, but it seems to take so long to lose it. I wonder every day, "what am I doing wrong?" "I didn't eat bad and I worked out hard" It makes me sad to be like this. I want to be back to my fitness model self. I have my "goal" pictures up all over, you know the ones "they" say to put up a goal picture of someone who has the body you want to have? Well they are all of me. That makes me sad, what the heck did I do, stopped working out as much, stopped eating right, having over 8 surgeries and pneumonia, cracking my ribs flying off of a horse. ? I mean are those good excuses? I don't think so. I can't blame having my daughter as I actually weighed LESS then I did before I got pregnant when I left the hospital. I was 119. That's pretty darn great. Ten years of Karate I guess kept me in shape pretty great back then along with the fact that I was....21. I'm feel really old and ugly today. Usually I'm full of energy and happy and raring to go, not today. It's drab weather and I'm feeling drab. Boogie Box is tonight, maybe after that I will feel better, I usually do. You want to see me, my goal picture of myself? Here it is on the upper left. Me at my goal weight of 135. I'm 5'6 1/2 so that's a good weight for me. Notice my hand? I'm always covering up where I give my insulin shots, How weird is that? I subconsciously do that in all my bikini pictures. I will post more after my measurements tomorrow.....
