Alright, I have had to much today. I really need to get focused. I had a bowl of cereal, didn't drink much of the milk with flaxseed, cause I was out of fat free. So, then I had some more of that stupid chicken (can a person od on that stuff, lol). Then I had a couple pieces of ham slices, two many reduced chips, and two taco things for lunch. They were probably the most healthy thing that I ate today, a couple of snapping beans, a couple bites of potato stuff (came with the chicken).
So, I figure I will try to get in a few more veggies for the day and call it good enough.
Walking has been great, I got in two and a quarter miles with the kids, then came home and did 4 and a half laps on the treadmill. So, I have like two and a half laps left, I think. So, got to go to the school for awhile and then finish up on the treadmill and hit the hay.
Will update again in the morning.

Alls I had last night were some carrots with low fat dressing. I am trying really hard to get at least five fruits or veggies in a day.
Not much else to report, I did finish up on the treadmill, so I got in a total of 4mils.
Weigh in was the same this morning. 127lbs. I don't expect this to change very soon. I am having a heck of a time controlling my eating this week.

Yesterday was not the greatest. I had a bowl of cereal, a piece of toast, a bunch of turkey slices, three pieces of pizza (frozen), two mini tacos(heathly ones that I make), and lets see, some snapping beans, and one small brownie, diet chips.
I painted my sons room yesterday and it took three coats of paint. So, everytime I took a break I was shoving food in my mouth. I was so tired when I was done, but I forced myself to walk. So, I got in my 4miles on the treadmill and hit the hay.
Don't know if I will weigh in or not this morning.
Will update again later....
Well, I did weigh in this morning and it was 124lbs. Go figure! I am glad I did now. I was getting so down in the dumps with two bad weigh ins. But, now I have a whole new outlook. So, maybe I can be good today and get back on track. yeah!

ok, I will try and remember what all I ate yesterday. I had a bowl of cereal, some turkey slices, had two mini burritos, diet chips, oh yea, two small brownies. I am sure there is more, I just can't remember.
exercise was only a mile and a half.
Ok, so people are really getting on my nerves these days. First my mother in law brings over a bunch of baked sweets and expects me not to eat them. Then last night a friend stopped over and wouldn't fricking leave until after 10pm. So, that's why I only got in a mile and a half. I am so ticked off. If other people would stay away and leave me alone, maybe I could get something done once in awhile and wouldn't be eating things that I don't fricking buy. geeeezzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, so since all this is making me mad, I didn't even weigh in this morning. I just feel beat up and broken.
But, today is almost over and I can get some walking in and I know that will work wonders for my attitude.
As far as food today, I have not been the best. I had a bowl of cereal, diet chips and refried bean dip, some chicken nuggets and french fries (baked), a few slices of turkey lunch meat, and a bite or two of cookie stuff (the fricking baked goods).
So Lets hope I can get back on track tonight with walking.....
Oh yea, almost forgot, my stupid right leg is sore from painting, I think from getting up and down off of the chair. So, that's not making me to happy either.
I can't wait for the weekend.........going up north, so I won't be on here for awhile.
Will update again in the morning after the weigh in....(which probably won't be good).

I ended up eating a chicken breast last night with some rice. We grilled out. After a whole fricking day looking for an electric smoker. I finally found one at the last stop I made. I was so happy. Get home to put it together, and no hardware. So, I had the hubby go get some hardware at the store. Then some brackets were missing. Needless to say, were waiting for the company to send us parts. Ticks me off. I really wanted to smoke chicken this weekend.
So, I grilled the chicken I had ready, then the rest of the night I spent walking. Before bed I had some snapping beans and two tomatoes. I think I already put what else I had in the previous entry.
exercise was great, I sweated like a pig and got in 5 and a half miles last night. I really wanted to get in my full 20mil for the week. With the big weekend coming up and all.
So, goals for today, are just to enjoy myself and get ready to go up north. I really want to try water skiing this weekend. I haven't done that since I was a teenager. It should be fun. I also, want to make sure I don't eat allot of #%@&! while were up there. So, I am trying to figure out what foods to take with us.
I didn't weigh in yesterday, I will here in a little while. I know it won't be good. I also know I am holding water right now. When I got up this morning I could tell in my feet. So, I am sure it will show on the scale. But, at least I know some of that is water.
Will update after weigh in....
126lbs- I am ok with this. I really thought it would of been worse.

ok, I got to put some this down before I forget. I had two small bowls of cereal, one chicken breast, one piece of garlic bread, one small burrito (healthy ones that I make), some lettuce and a snapping bean, one garnola bar.
Then later today, I will probably have a healthy snack and call it good for the day. I am praying that no body wants to stop and eat on the way up there. I don't know if I have it in me to resist. Maybe that snack will have to be right before we leave. Something like a really big lettuce salad.
Will update more later.....

Ok, I am back after a long weekend. I didn't do so good in my food choices this weekend. So, I think I am going to try and put off the cholesterol test for a week or two. I don't know, might as well get it over with.
Anyway, we did get to smoke chickens after all. Our buddy who owns the cabin that we stayed in had a smoker there. Then to top it off when we were going to garage sales on sat. I found an almost new smoker for $15. So, the stupid one that is missing parts is going back to the store today.
I did walk on sunday night. It was a little over two mile to the highway and back. So, I am claiming 2.25 miles. Then on Monday morning I walked 3.25 miles. Then last night I put on 2.5 miles. So, that gives me 8 miles so far for the week. I probably won't get to walk tonight cause my son has a game. So, I thought I would try to get some walking in this afternoon.
Weigh in this morning was 125lbs. Not to bad considering all the junk we ate this weekend. I really thought it would of been worse. Sunday night I was so stuffed and miserable. Then we stopped at mcdonnels on the way home. But, that was about all I ate yesterday. So, back on to the cholesterol thing today. Going to go eat my cheerios now.
Will update again later....

Well, todays been good. I had my cereal this morning and then only a few bites of turkey lunch meat (not much at all), then for lunch I had cut up chicken with black beans, salsa, corn, and mozzarella cheese on a wheat tortilla with lettuce. I had three small ones. They were good, but not as filling as the re-fried bean ones that I make. But, it was a nice change of pace. I also had a few pretzels and a chocolate push up thing. It is like 90cals. So, not to bad.
I already walked 4miles before lunch. Man, was it hot out. Geeeeezzzz, I think I sweated off at least a pound or two.
Off to the kiddies game tonight and then maybe see my daughter for awhile, since she live close to there.
Tomorrow, I am planning on smoked fish. I have never done that before, so it should be fun.
Will update again in the morning....
Oh yea, I think I put on here at one point that I was going to take extra fiber. Well, that has not been going so well. I think they are making me dehydrated. So, I cut it back to half of what I was taking. Really that should be fine since I eat allot of fiber also.

Weigh in this morning was 124lbs. Yeah! How the heck I pulled that off with all the #%@&! I ate this weekend. But, those were probably my big calorie days.
Anyway, I didn't eat much else last night. I think I had two bites of pork roast that my husband was eatting and a bunch of tea.
So, the plan for today, get in some walking with the kids and smoke my fish. That should be a fun.
Oh yea, already had my cereal this morning. Still debating on putting the cholesterol test off another week or two or just go in and get it over with.
Will update again later....
ok, update- I ate a bunch of smoked samon, two pudding snacks, a slice of ham (lunch meat), pretzel with cheese sauce. I am stuffed. But, I will probably have some carrots and cucumbers later on.
I already walked three miles with the kids today. I will finish up on the treadmill tonight.
Will update again in the morning.

Ok, well I almost lost it yesterday. I was craving chocolate so bad. I had two of those pudding things and that didn't even put a dent in my craving. So, I broke out the secret stash. I had a snickers in the freezer, it's been in there for awhile. I thought since it was frozen, I would only take a few bites of it. NOPE! I ate the whole thing. But, I figure once in awhile is ok. Otherwise I did pretty good for the day.
Exercise went well. I walk three miles with the kids then walk two miles on the treadmill last night. So, that gives me a total of 5miles for the day and 17miles for the week.
Weigh in this morning was 124lbs. Yeah! Holding it for another day. Can't hardley believe it.
Still having trouble regulating my fiber, but I will get it figure out. I am also getting really tired from about 4-7pm everyday. I don't know what the deal is with that. But, now that the kids are back in school, we can get back to our regular routine. So, that means I will get my 20min. power naps again.
So the plan for today is to eat more for lunch so that I don't break down in the afternoon, like yesterday. Also, now that I do have our regular schedule back, I need to figure out a time to work in some other exercises. I haven't done anything besides walk in three or four weeks. (something like that). I at least want to get in some ab exercises and weights.

Ok, yesterday I had a bowl of cereal, two snack puddings, two slices of ham, some lentil soup, two chicken taco things, two pieces of garlic bread, some wheat saltines, one pudding pop. I think that was it. I was stuffed after the one of the taco things. But, then I took my power nap, and got up and ate another one. Didn't really need a second one. I have been into cooking lately. So, I am hoping that doesn't mean I will gain. I have to make a salad for the football meal tonight and then I wanted to make something with some raspberries that I have thawed out. I will either make a pie or a buckle of some sort. Probably a buckle, that way I can throw lots of healthy stuff in the mix.
Exercise was not the greatest. I really wanted to get in the rest of my miles last night. But, I was really ticked off about having to go in today and get my cholesterol checked and had zero ambition. So, I only did 2 miles, leaving me short a mile. Thats ok cause I will easily walk that on sat. Oh yea, I screwed up the whole cholesterol thing. I got up sometime around 3am and downed a diet soda. My allergies have been a killer lately and I woke up with a dry mouth (hate when that happens) so I blew it. I am shooting to go in on next tuesday or something like that. I just hate the having to fast for 12 hours before the test. Makes it hard on me, who is use to eating and drinking every hour...lol
Will update again after weigh in...
Can't believe I fogot to post my weigh in. It was 124lbs. Yeah! thats like the third day in a row. That's good, I get really sick of the huge swings in my weight. Glad to see it staying the same for a change.

Today, I have been really good, probably cause I have not been home or had time to eat.
I forgot about breakfast, I was trying to get the dishes done and kids off to school, and pay bills in the middle of all that. So, no cereal this morning. Then I went shopping, didn't get home until 1pm. I was starving by then. Cracked open a box of crackers that I had bought and ate some of those while getting dinner ready. I had some lentil soup and some hash browns, pretzels with cheese dip (not much at all). wheat saltines. Then I finally finish what dishes I didn't get done in the morning and started to put my salad together for the football meal thing. Got that done, had some extra, so I made some fat free kind for me and ate some of that. Then I had one and a half pudding snacks (I didn't like the butterscotch kind, so I pitched it and got a chocolate one). And thats about it so far. I know I will piece down at the thing tonight, so saving calories for that.
Will update again later...

The only other thing I had yesterday was a cookie down at the football thing and some beer later with the hubby watching tv. lol, it was this new 64cal stuff. So, I have not weighed in yet this morning and I didn't walk yesterday- day off.
So, plan for today, I need to work on my fish, and will probably walk when I am changing their water. I would like to get in a few miles today. I only need one for the week. But, I figure if I go over some, then I won't have to do as much tomorrow. Cause I need to get started on my other project room upstairs. Making the sons old room into a closet. I got all the stuff, just need to get busy. This time I have good paint, so it shouldn't take three coats like the other room did. So, that is the plan.
Will update after weigh in this morning...
124lbs. and holding

The weekend really sucked. I didn't eat hardly anything on sat, then ate like a pig sunday. As a result of all this, I gained a pound. So, I am going to try real hard not to be stupid today and eat like I am suppose to.
I did walk on sat. about 2miles, then I walked a little over three miles yesterday.
So, like I said, I gained a pound. This mornings weigh in was 125lbs.

Yes, great new picture!
You actually remind me of a friend of the family named Barbara.
Yeah, I hear you. It takes me a good while to take a decent one, too. Not as long as it used to, though - before, I had to try to find angles that somewhat hid my neck fat, etc., but that's not as much of a problem anymore. 
FANTABULOUS job!

I just never took my picture when I was heavy. Then I didn't have to worry about my neck or anything for that matter...

Ok, yesterday was good. I really wanted to walk in the morning with the kids yesterday, but it started to rain. So, we didn't get out. Then I thought I would do my richard simsons tape in the afternoon, but I didn't do that either. So, I just got on the treadmill last night and walked while watching the packers. I did my normal 4 miles.
My eating was ok. I thought I was under for calories again, was kind of starting to panic. But, I sat down and went over what all I had. I think I was right in there. Only cause of this dessert thing I made that has lots of calories in it.
So, I had a big bowl of cereal, three buttermilk biscuits with chicken and sauce on them, green beans, a ton of that dessert stuff, a few crackers, a couple pieces of turkey lunch meat. That was pretty much it.
So, goals for today, keep eating good, and I got to figure out when I can get in to do my cholesterol. What a fricking pain. Right now, I am so busy in the mornings and then they tell me I have to have a complete physical. AGGHHH! I really don't want to take a day off for that right now. So, I don't know. Got to figure that out today.
Will update again after weigh in- if I can tear myself away from the little heater in my computer room.

It was in the 40's this morning....buuurrrrrrrr
I have got to be good the rest of the day. Gez, I had a small bowl of cereal this morning cause I was out. Oh yeah, when I first got up I had a piece of cold pizza, then later had another one. Then I had a cookie, some of that dessert stuff, a thing of peanuts, two of those hot dogs that everyone is always talking about, a piece of wheat bread, a few grape tomatoes, snow peas, grapes. I am thinking, I have already met my calorie intake for the day. So, now time to get busy and get some stuff done. As soon as my little one is done eating we're going for a walk, then I need to do dishes and straighten up. Then I need to go downstairs and finish up my fish.
If I get all that done, then I will start on the stupid room upstairs. I did go to walmart and got some rollers and some more diet food stuff for the weekend. I was to cheap to buy any of those frozen meals. So, thought I would make some stuff up and freeze it for the weekend.
Ok, I'm wore out just writing all that.
Will update again tomorrow and how it all goes.

Ok, so yesterday was not a good eating day for me. Stupid pizza. Anyway, the rest of the day I was good. I only had some grapes, dessert stuff, and a few bites of chicken stuff that I made the family for supper.
I walked four miles around town yesterday afternoon.
Weigh in this morning was 124 yeah! So, I am holding that pretty good these days. My average has dropped to 124 on my physic diet log.
Ok, so the plan for today, get in my exercise, and focus more on fruits and veggies instead of all the other #%@&! I eat. Plus, I got some tofu. Can't wait to try that out, but the recipe I have will require a trip to the store. So, not sure if I will make it today or not. I also pick up some microwave veggie trays. Might have one of those today.
Anyway, will update later
Well, so far I am doing ok. I had a bowl of cereal this morning, then for snack I had a microwave veggie pack and a banana. Then for lunch I had two of the chicken burrito things I make and half of a cheese/turkey sandwich and a pudding snack. I am stuffed so, I think I will make it until later in the day. Then I will probably snack on some grapes and things like that.
I am going to try and get some walking in this afternoon again.
ok, boredom is not my friend. After my walk this afternoon I have been pretty much worthless. So, here I sit and trying not to eat. I already had some grapes, little tomatoes, sugar peas, pretzels with cheese, and another veggie pack thing from the freezer. agghhh! I need to walk some more, but can't until work is done, cause my little one is sleeping. I hate this........
ok, will update again later- and hopefully won't eat anymore today...

Ok, got in my four miles yesterday and didn't eat much else the rest of the day. Which is good, cause I didn't need it.
Today is a non weigh in day. So, will update that in the morning.
Goals for today, to stay focused and keep up the fruits and veggie things. After I go get the cholesterol test done tomorrow, I promised myself some chili dogs. I can't flipping wait. I been looking forward to that all week. So, today is it for eating good for the test. Have to be good.
Ok, so that's the plan..... will update later...

ok, I can't remember what all I had yesterday for sure, but I think I can get most of it down on here. I had a bowl of cereal, grapes, plums, turkey pizza stuff, baked beans, pudding snack, a couple of walnuts. I felt full all day, it didn't help that I had on tight pants all day, making me feel even fatter. I didn't weigh in yesterday, so I am curious to see if I am just feeling full or if I have went over some in the last two days. I am also really mad, cause I wanted to get the cholesterol test done this week and that hasn't happened. I called yesterday, and they don't have a provider in the office. So, it looks like next week for me. Going to try for monday, but I don't know if I can go without my diet dew on a monday.
Exercise yesterday was not the greatest, I walk two miles and called it quits. I know I will walk some today and over the weekend so I didn't go for it last night and finish up my miles for the week.
Goals for today, are to get in some walking, I really want to have a bowl of chili or a chili dog. Wasn't going to do that until after the test, but, that won't be happening for awhile yet. So, what the heck, can't even remember the last time I had some beef. Also, really want to make this tofu recipe that I got and see if I like the stuff. Also, really want to stay focused on the fruits and veggies.
Well, I will update later after weigh in.....
Well, 128lbs  I guess I have been over doing it. I thought maybe it was just another one of those weight swings. But, I looked at my log and I haven't weighed this much in awhile. So, that is depressing, and it also made my average go back up to 125lbs. So, I guess it will be a #%@&! day after all.

ok, I have had a bowl of cereal, two Hebrew national hotdogs, two slices of wheat bread, chili (not the healthy kind), a pudding snack, a pudding pop, some tuna with fat free dressing, wheat crackers, and Cheddar cheese. Yea, I am stuffed. I can't figure out why I am being so bad the last couple of days. It's like I have a tape worm or something. I really need a kick in the butt.
I think I need to get in some exercise and get the heck out of this house, and if the fricking sun don't come out soon, I think I might die. lol
Ok, now that I got that off my chest, I am going to go and add up my calories, just to see how bad I have been.
Will update later...

Well, I did really good last night. I added up my calories and they weren't to bad. So, I had a bag of popcorn at the game and two plums when I got home.
I was proud that I didn't pig out last night.
I also didn't walk yesterday, thought I would get up and go this morning. But, now it's raining. So, if it don't stop later I will have to hit the treadmill and get in a few miles.
I did walk down to the game and back when it was over, so that counts for something. I think it's just under a mile.
I have not weighed in yet. I will update that when I do. I hope its down from yesterdays huge gain.
So, goals for today, try to eat something- shouldn't be hard to do, with the rain and all and I did get up early today (why, I don't know). So, fruits and veggies for me today. I also, am dieing to get that to fu stuff made and try it. Going to try real hard to get that in today.
Oh yea, just had to add this. I was posting in another forum (group) and some lady went off on me, I usually let stuff like that go, but instead, I posted back not very nicely. So, we will see how that goes. But, just have to say "this is the best site ever" People are so nice....
Ok, have to go weigh in so I can eat.....

"this is the best site ever" Yes it is! Sorry about your experience on the other one. I stopped posting on another forum (not weight loss) because of how rampant the snottiness was. You were right to defend yourself!

I was just giving my opinion and she got all sarcastic about it. I didn't say she had to agree with me, but she could be a little nicer. So, I just posted back that "that is what my opinion was and if she didn't like it, then to bad"
I probably won't go back on there. Cause no doubt she will say something and I will just stew about it. I don't need that #%@&! in my life. I have more important things to worry about.
Anyway, I weighed in today. 123lbs. Yeah! So, I don't know what yesterday was all about, but glad it went back down.

Well, I did it again. So, I am mad at myself. I think I only had a bowl of cereal and snacked on #%@&! the rest of the day.
I did walk over 4miles. I finished my mile from friday night and then did a full 4miles after that. Both of my feet are hurting this morning, the one that was hurt before don't feel to bad, it's the other one this time. So, I don't know if I will walk today or not. I would like to get in 2miles. Maybe I can do one this morning and the other later on.
I haven't weighed in yet, don't want to, cause I know it's not going to be good. I know I am retaining water with the way my feet feel and all. Maybe I will just wait awhile before I weigh in.
So, things are sucking today. I need to get in a better mood, before I do something stupid and pig out...
will update again later...
Well, it turned out to 122lbs. That's the lightest I have ever weighed in about 10 or more years. I am sure this is because I didn't eat right yesterday, so I am sure that it will come back as soon as I get back on track. But, at least it puts me in a better mood for today. I am getting around much better on my foot, now. So, I think I will go down to the track and try to do 2miles at a slower pace than normal.

Ok, so today has not been bad at all. I was afraid I would pig out today, since I didn't eat for #%@&! yesterday. Although I had some fatting things today, not terrible in the amounts. So, I skip cereal (trying to break the weekend cycle) and waited for lunch. I walked two mile this morning and then started to make lunch. I made homemade chicken nuggets. You know like broasted chicken that you get in the restaurants. Manly cause the packers were playing and I like to make something special for when we watch the game. So, I thought I would pig out on those, but I kept it under control and also had some cholesterol free crackers, and broccoli and cheese thing. Then I finished off the meal with a pudding pop. So, proud of myself for not going overboard on the fatting chicken.
So far, so good. But, I will not be walking anymore today. My feet are killing me, mostly my right foot. So, I got this thing in the garage, that hubby told me he would bring in the house for me to use until the foot gets better. It's like a ski machine thing. Your feet go in these things and swing back and fourth, without having to pick up your feet. So, what the heck will try that for awhile.
I also think that I will have tomorrow off, which is great, I could use some r & r.... time to myself. It was a #%@&! of a day yesterday(problems with the teenage daughter). So, I am hoping I get tomorrow off, just waiting to hear from one person.
Anyway, that is my day....will update again later...

Well, the rest of the day yesterday went well. I had some jolly time fat free popcorn, then I had like seven plums (need to get some more of those- I have a friend who has a tree covered with them right now), oh yea, a beef jerky stick (that I didn't need). I also had a few more of those chicken nugget things. I just kept telling myself, do you want to gain that pound back, So, I didn't go crazy on them, but I did have a few more.
I ended up getting today off, so I am excited, I have allot I want to do. First, I think I will go for a walk, then I will get busy on my room upstairs that I am making into a closet. I don't think it will take very long to paint it. I only have to paint half of the room. So, I want to at least get it cleaned up in there and the paint done. Then I got to figure out the #%@&! on my back porch, it is driving me crazy. Needs to go somewhere.
Ok off to weigh in and get walking----will update again later...
Just went upstairs to weigh in...... 121lbs This is great
One pound to go and then try to keep it there..... I am so fricking happy...

Thanks Tratra
Ok, walked almost 4miles. I will finish it up by walking down to my sons game later. Then, I had a bowl of cereal.
I really want to stay focused today, and not over do it. I really really want this weight not to go back up....
So, a bowl of cereal, then I made some stuff with tofu, didn't really care for that, but I forced some of it down. Then I had three of those chicken things, a pudding snack, some grapes, a couple of snapping beans, raw. I want to get some lettuce, I have been craving taco stuff. So, I want to make taco meat after my test tomorrow (yes, finally getting it done). As far as the rest of day, I don't know, I will keep you posted....

Thanks Nick!
Well, I made this chili stuff, and had it with a piece of wheat bread, and it was very good. Just hoping that I didn't over do it.
But, I guess we will find out in the morning.
Anyway, I didn't walk to my sons game, my feet still hurt pretty bad, from walking this morning, so I rode my bike, and I am sure I did enough walking around the house this afternoon to make up for .25 I had left to get in my full four miles. So, I am claiming it-4 miles for me today.
So, anyway, got to go.
Will update in the morning...
ok, updating now instead of morning. I am sitting here having my last diet dew in hopes to avoid a craving in the morning and ruin my chances of getting my test done. Not looking forward to going from 5am to 9am with nothing to eat or drink. I should eat something now, but I had a pudding pop and some popcorn- and just plain not hungry. This sucks....I hate not having anything in the morning. I know my stomach will be growling, and wanting to know where it's cereal is. My mouth will be dry, and wondering why it can't be refreshed. aggghhhhh!!!
I guess I will go to bed and just bitch my way through it in the morning. I hate life sometimes...
Oh yea, and the stupid eagles lost after I stayed up late to watch them win....aggghhhh!!!!

So, you know from my post last night, that I am sitting here hating life. I hate not having anything to drink. God, it sucks!!!!!!!!! I will have to scramble to get in my shower this morning due to my schedule today. So, here I sit starving with nothing to drink, being miserable.
Plus, I have had some daycare issues to deal with this morning which I hate doing in the morning and then to do with dragon breath on top of it.
MY LIFE SUCKS!
I have a family right now that I have had for three years, and they have been nothing but problems for me and my daycare from day one. So, I am sitting here debating what to do about it. I think their time here is pretty much done. But, got to figure out a nice way of letting them go and need to make up the money by getting new kids in there spots. I really hate breaking in new kids. But, it's either that, or ride it out until next year and do something else for work- which I have been considering on doing for the last couple of years anyway. And next year would work out perfect, cause my two little ones would be close to start school and all my family's wouldn't have to struggle to find someone else.
So, new kids or new job.....
I know this has nothing to with nothing, and I am just rambling to pass time until the test. So, I will stop now and try to find something to do until I can go weigh in.
Will update after weigh in....
121lbs and holding......Yeah!!!!!!! This has made my average go down to 123lbs. Which is good, I was wondering when the average would go down some. It's been stuck at 125lbs allot and then 124lbs more recently.
Ok, so goals for today, I want to have a treat after my test. Probably not a good idea since I am so close to goal. But, I think I will just make it a healthy treat. I have been wanting to have taco salad or just tacos. Which ever, the salad would be the healthier choice. But, I really want to have real beef on it this time. I usually subsitute refried beans or turkey meat of some sort. I want the real thing.
Also, second goal to get in some slow walking with the kids. My foot still hurts, so thought a slow walk with them and then hit the ski machine thing to finish up for the day. I need to get over thinking that walking is the only form of exercise I can do.
And yep, still rambling and waiting for the clinic to open. God, I want a diet dew, even a tea would work at this point. And my cheerios are calling my name...

Ok, so today I had two granola bars after my test this morning, then I had a whole plate of taco salad. Yep! a whole plate, lol.
I wanted it so bad and wanted to celerbrate getting down with the test. So, I will find out the results to that later today. I am amazed at how fast they get them back. Anyway, so then after that I had the two little ones so we went to the park and played and then walked all over creation. So, I got in my 4miles. My feet aren't doing to bad, but I haven't stopped moving since I went walking. It's when I relax that they get bad.
So, that it for now....
Will update again later.

| Sorry about the results Cindy. If it helps I have been on meds for over 2 years now, a double dose!, and have had no real issues with them.

that really sucks, cindy. i know you have been working and trying and doing all of the right things. but maybe look at it this way, if you had not been doing these things, would your levels have gone up? i mean, yes, you may have only gone down 1 point, but it's not higher, and you actually have lowered your cholesterol. i assume they differntiate between LDL and HDL levels. do you know which one went down?
before you go on pills, can you give it any more time? maybe it just takes a bit to kick in? sort of like with weightloss- you can do all the right things and barely lose one week but a week or two later, you drop dramatically?
i don't know a whole lot about cholesterol levels, but does stress effect it? were you stressed about the test? di dyou not have enough down time between walking around tons, dealing with the whole day care issue and basically starving and dehydrating yourself before your test? can you take another to see if it would give the same results?
just some thoughts...i just don't want you to be upset, or go on meds if you don't have to...
take care and stay positive.... and though you might not have gotten the results you wanted, keep up your good habits. you've done so well and have dropped your average wieght. you've been doing famously and i don't want to see you lose that.

I just feel cheated. I eat things I don't really want to eat, and give up things that I really want and for what. For nothing.
But, now I am just trying not to go on a major pig out. I more or less got a free ticket to eat. Cause the stupid stuff I have been doing isn't working, which means I can eat what I want.
I am suppose to go in friday and see what she wants to do. I think just because I had a bad reaction to the very first meds. she had me on, is what is scaring me. My mother has been on meds. for awhile and has no problem with them. So, I am sure my doctor can find something that will work for me.
Anyway, so last night was not good, I had a #%@&! #%@&! day and nothing went right. So, I ate some cheese (one of the things that I try to stay away from), had some more of those chicken things, also had a few beers. So, not the best night. I did manage not to go way overboard. I think I had some more granola bars, and a fat free ice cream thing in the afternoon.
Without adding up the calories, I think I stay within my range. But, I am sure eating the cheese, chicken and having the beer will directly affect my weigh in this morning.
So, goals for today are not to go crazy and eat all the stuff I have given up the past few months. If I get by without pigging on ice cream today, I will be happy.
Will update again after weigh in....

I didn't see your post, until after I had already posted before.
I have been fighting this cholesterol thing, every since my thyroid went wacky. So, that has allot to do with it. Also, family history of it.
My doctor has been very good about giving me time. But, I just don't know what else to try at this point. I totally over do everything that is suppose to lower your cholesterol.
I eat cheerios every morning with ground flaxseed, I take fish oil three times a day, plus a fiber suppliment, also garlic and a regular vitamin. I eat fish, beans and don't eat red meats. I exercise and have lost weight.
So, I just don't know what else there is.
I am not sure on the levels yet, untill I go in. I am sure it was the bad that went down. She did say on the phone that my sugar levels went down. Which I guess is good.
The only thing I can think of would be maybe all the chicken I ate, or maybe the processed diet snacks I eat. I don't know. I am at a loss....
I just don't get how I got it down before, but am unable to budge it now.
I don't know, and really to be honest so sick of playing this cholesterol game. I just want to eat normal and not worry about it. So, maybe meds are the answer for me.
Anyway, I will figure it out, and today is a new day, so it's got to get better.

Well, weigh in was 126lb
Ok, I refuse to be upset by this, because I know this is a direct result of my little fit I threw last night. I also know that if I am good today that it will be back down in the morning.
So, I guess that means I can't have a major pig out today. Have to remain good. And guess what,,,,,,, I am not eating cheerios this morning either..... They can be force down someone else throat today... 
Ok, back on here to say, I am not starting my off very well. I already had two piece of toast and a granola bar. That's not terrible, but the toast I should of avoided. Bread, always make me go up in weight. Plus, I keep entertaining thoughts of going down to the local cheese factory and getting some of my most favorite cheese in the world. I know if I do that, I will consume half the block today. So, trying like crazy to fight this urge.
I am also trying like crazy to not let my emotions get the best of me. I am #%@&! off, depressed, and have a who gives a #%@&! attitude right now. The only thing I can think off to fight this is to cry or go walking.
So, off I go......going to take the kids to the park and not go near the cheese factory.
ps: my foot pain is minimal right now, cause of wearing the slippers with the rubber flip flop soles in them. So, there is one thing to be happy about.
Ok, I went for a walk with the kids and we got in a little over two miles. I had the older boys today, so we kept a pretty good pace. I am feeling much better about the day. Now, I am struggling with chips and taco meat. I should just make a salad and put that stuff away. Easier said then done. After lunch it will be nap time. So, I am thinking about doing some stuff on the ski machine. Exercise is the key to a clear mind. (at least for me anyway) Plus, pick up time will be a workout today also.

Ok, I didn't do to bad yesterday. I had a huge taco salad for lunch and snacked on all kinds of stuff after that. I thought that at lunch I would blow it with the chips and taco meat. But, I didn't, I put it away and ate my salad. I am in a much better frame of mind today.
I decided after thinking and thinking, that just maybe I can get my doctor to give me three more months to get my cholesterol down. So, no more junk food for me. The only thing I can think of is that I ate to much chicken and processed foods. So, going back to square one, going to start with the fish and walnuts again. I thought If I can eat fish at least three days out of the week and get in my 1/4 cup of walnuts every day, just maybe that would do the trick. I am just racking my brain, trying to remember what it is that I did before to get it down. I might have to go back through my journal and see. But, I think the diet chips and #%@&! is going to have to be replaced with fruits and veggies. So, that is the plan. I really thought that this high fiber thing would work, but I guess it's back to the fish for me.
I did walk yesterday. A little over 2 miles with the kids and then a little over 2 miles on the treadmill. My feet are doing good. The one doesn't hurt at all and the other is sore but nothing like it was. I am going to get some inserts for my shoes and even invest in a good pair of shoes for walking only. Also, in light of my cholesterol screening, I am thinking I could bump up the exercise a bit. So, I cleaned the porch off and got my ski machine thing in there. So, now at naptime I can do that in addition to the walking everyday.
Ok, not looking forward to weigh in. I had a bad one yesterday, and not really looking forward to seeing what it is today. I hope it went down, but who knows. I felt full and #%@&! all day yesterday. So, keeping my fingers crossed today and hopping for good results.
Well, that's about it....so, I will update later on my progress.
124lbs- Well, that's better, but still higher than I want it to be....So, got to get back to work today and stick to the eating plan...
