Saturday, February 11, 2006 Blogger Problems Sorry for the delay, but as you may or may not have noticed, I am having issues with my blogger account. I am making a new account with a new address. If you would like to continue on this journey with me, please send me an email to: bethanysmum2002@yahoo.com and I will email you the new address. I have also been having some problems with some annonymous comments being left, which is why I am not leaving a direct link to it here. I would like to hear from as many of you as possible, as I would hate to lose loyal readers due to this change. Hope to hear from you soon. 
Hump day Well everyone it's hump day, the middle of the week, halfway there and so on. I am still at it. Went for my walk yesterday and geez were my muscles complaining but kept going. It was hard like I had predicted. Not only due the the whinging muscles but due to the tummy cramps from my TOM which decided to arrive yesterday afternoon but I kept going. Finished yesterday on 17.5 points. Was so proud of myself but then I blew it. I am tackling my TOM without my usual pain relief as it was reveiled the other day that the ibprofen in it is linked to miscarriages so I am steering as far a way from it as possible. So last night, on 17.5 points, I let the pain get to me and had 2 Tim Tams. So ended up 1.5points over for the night. Still better than consuming a block of chocolate, I think. Am still battling the pain this morning but I will get through it. Bethany has the flu (I hope, chicken pox starts with the flu too.) Before her symptoms started I had asked mum if she looked well because she had really big black circles under her eyes (eventhough she had had a 2 hour nap). Then she got a really bad runny nose and coughing last night. This morning it was like she had no energy and when I left she was on the lounge, curled up under a blanket watching TV. I felt so sorry for her. I hope she is better this afternoon because she is due to go back to kindy tomorrow. She would be so upset if she missed going. Well thats the long and the short of it. WOW, 3 updates in 4 days. This is becoming a habit.
On track Well here I am, day 3 on track. The last 2 days I have finished on 20 points or just under and had 2 x 30min walks. Yesterdays walk was particularly hard. I didn't go until 7pm as it was 37 yesterday with thunderstorms due in the evening. When I went it was still 29 and the air was really thick and humid. It was really hard to breathe but I still went and I did it in a better time than the day before. I was stoked. I know tonights walk might be harder and I really pushed it last night and I think my muscles are in shock but I am going non the less. I have already planned most of todays eating with a boiled egg and a piece of toast for breakfast, nice banana for morning tea and stir fry with boiled rice for tea. That should roughly work out to 10 points, leaving 10 for lunch, afternoon tea and dessert. Am pretty happy with that. Well just a short and sweet one for today, just letting you know that I am determined to have some serious success, at least for the next couple of weeks anyhow(famous last words).
Catching up Sorry, sorry, sorry for not catching up earlier. Logged off on Tuesday to get my results and was told I wouldn't get them until Thursday. So muddled through another 2 days to find out I'm not immune to chicken pox (Well I told the doctor that in the first place!) So weighed in on Friday and have completely wasted the opportunity of this 12 week challenge. Four weeks have now passed and I am back to 80kg. A 1kg loss in four weeks. Anyhoo, no complaining from me, it is all my own fault. My weakness this last week, no exercise at all (I tell a lie I think I went on Wednesday) and icecream, icecream and more icecream. Fast forward to today and I no longer think I am pregnant (so that takes the chicken pox worry away) as I have started spotting. I am soooooooo relieved. Over the last 2 days (since weighin) I have been mopping around feeling bloated, hot and miserable (maybe a smidge of PMS included?). So today I have tried to be good. Honestly. I had a boiled egg and 2 pieces of toast for breakfast. A WW frozen pizza for lunch and that is it. No snacks and absolutely no icecream. I have vaccumed the house, done the washing and half of last nights dishes and am now taking some time out. We are having a roast for tea and I may have a diet yoghurt for dessert. I will be good today!!!!! I want to try for a walk today although it is extremely stinking hot. I even did 4 minutes last night on my mums stepper machine. I am going to get back on track! There is 8 weeks left of Paulene's challenge and if I can lose 4 kilos it will mean a total of 5 kilos in 12 weeks. That's better than nothing. I think discovering that I am not pg today has given me a kick in the pants. It means I can go hard for the next few weeks to make up for my last 2 weeks without doing anything that may become a problem. And with the Biggest Loser starting in a week, that ought to motivate me some more. So there you have it. I've stuffed up, recognised what I have done wrong and am over it, nothing more to say or mope about. Now I am off to catch up with everyone else's journals. I am now back to being regular. A regular updater, regular reader and regular exerciser. Oh, and just quickly before I go, my little angel started Kindy on Friday.  WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?!?!?!?!?!
If it doesn't rain..it pours! Ok everyone, hold onto your hats, this is gonna be a doosie of an entry. Important things first, Friday weighin saw a gain of 600g, back to 79. Main reason for this: just haven't been eating right and haven't exercised since last Monday. Well on from my entry of Wednesday, am still feeling funny in the tummy which has lead to serious pregnancy suspicions. The problem: on Thursday I got a call from my mum saying my sister had chickenpox. Great, haven't had chicken pox! Was with Kelly everyday since Monday so both Bethany and I am due to get them. Chickenpox in early pregnancy (if I am) very not good. Called boss (who is in early stages of pregnancy) and let her know and also told her I can't go to work until Thursday as I have no-one to look after Bethany (mum had chickenpox when she was younger but only got about 3 dots. This time she woke up on Monday with 1 on her neck but thats it but thinks she has them). Don't think she was very happy but am also putting her first as I don't want anything to happen to her baby. Pete is taking Thursday off so I can go to work! Was advised to go to doctors with my concerns. Have taken blood test (must ring in about 15mins to get result) to see if I am immune (I doubt it). If not all I can do is wait until next week to see if I am pregnant. If not, no probs. If I am then we got into panick mode and see what we can do. TALK ABOUT STRESS!!! So mind hasn't really been on weightloss lately but am doing all I can to stop any further gain this week. May even try for a walk this afternoon but my stomach just doesn't quit. Geez I hope its just some kind of tummy bug. Not that I don't want to be pregnant but with this chickenpox problem, I'd rather not be...if you know what I mean. Well that's enough for today. Must log off so I can get my results. Catchya later
Not Well Well so much for getting back on track. After my post on Monday I had a killer allergy attack. It was so bad I was sent home from work but by then my antihestamines did nothing. Didn't stop sneezing till about 7.30pm. So was feeling like utter poo. Had killer headache, my eyes were almost fused shut and I just couldn't be bothered going for a walk. Yesterday woke up feeling like I had a tummybug. I had constant cramps. Felt like I either needed to throw up or do poos but neither would come. Resorted to chocolate while I was a work to try and settle my tummy. Worked for a little while but came back once I got home. Pete even cooked dinner (must have been bad) so the was full fat sausages and vegies. I only had 1. Missed yet another walk. Today my tummy is still tender although I don't know why. Mum said maybe I was pregnant but I would only be a couple days if anything so I highly doubt its that. So in summary have done absolutely no exercise since Sunday and have eaten total crap. Result: am expecting a gain this week and the sad thing is I don't have any energy at the moment to try and stop it. I just feel BLAH! Depending on the tummy, might just go for a gentle stroll tonight (weather permitting) and then maybe try and do something tomorrow but I really can't see it doing much for me. And the worst thing is it's getting me down because I was doing so well with this challenge so far. Lets hope its the only bad week of the 12 weeks. Geez I sound like an absolute whinger!
Week 3 Sorry for not updating sooner. The last few days have been pretty full on and when it has been quiet, I have rested as I actually feel exhausted. Fridays weighin saw a 600g loss down to 78.4kg. Pretty happy when you consider on Monday I was 79.9! I am still having problems with my weekends though. I mean in the last 7 days, I have only missed 1 day of walk and that was on Thursday so that's not so bad. On Saturday I even went for 2 walks, one in the morning and one in the evening. I didn't go madly over points. On Friday, due to some miscalculation, I went over by about 8. Saturday and Sunday I finished on about 19 each day. So come mid week weighin this morning and I am up about 600g. If I can loose about a 1kg from today I will still have a decent loss and get back to the 77's. I have been thinking about my eating over the last 2 weeks of this challenge. Although I am keeping under points, I don't actually think I am making the best choices so I am going to start thinking about it more. For example I think I am eating too much bread (although we now eat multigrain). I have been having toast for breakfast (either with an egg, baked beans or on its own) and then having a salad sandwich for lunch. Today I am back to having cereal instead and then maybe having just a salad for lunch with a slice on its own. Difference: 3 pieces of bread down to 1. It's just these little changes that I think will help start shifting a little more weight. Well must get back to work now. One of my bosses just came in and saw this screen up (I was distracted and was too slow to minimise it)so better get some work done. Bye
