Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Best of luck! I have 1 week of induction left myself. It's a breeze so far! You can do it!

Thank you all for your support. You rock!! I cooked so much food last night that I'm surprised I didn't dream about food. However, I only slept 3 hours. I didn't get to bed until 2:30 am and got up at 5:30 am. Today has been good. I've downed 32 oz. of water thus far and have eaten eggs, bacon, and cheeseburger quiche. I logged everything into fitday last night to make sure my menu was ok with carb count, calories, etc. (tulsanurse1 my totals are 67,3,30).

I'm just taking it one hour at a time.

Night time bingeing has always been horrific for me. This is usually my hardest time of the day. Therefore, I'm off to bed. My family had pizza (Papa John's) for supper. I didn't even want a bite. I must be making some progress. However, my daughter had a blowpop sucker and I wanted that sweet taste so bad. I will be popping some L-Glutamine.

Enough rambling! I'm off to bed. Good-night everyone! Hope your day was successful.

You sound like you are ready to roll. Good luck. I also find that having food readily available keeps me on track. Posting keeps me accountable also. Continued success to you!

Your menu looks great Purple!

Thank you scalesl and sillygirl. I got up early again this morning but instead of packing my breakfast I went ahead and ate it at home (one less thing to pack to work). 32 oz. of water down along with bacon, eggs, cheeseburger quiche, salad, and a porkchop. I weighed this morning and have lost 2 lbs. since yesterday (someone take the scale from me - I get scale obsessed). I did measure on Sunday. I haven't exercised because I sprained my ankle 4 times in the last year (doc said it would take 2 years to heal). However, I didn't listen and tried to walk (just walking) a few weeks ago and have paid for it royally for weeks after walking (foot pain). Now that I can walk, without a limp, I'm going to take it easier (not easy). LOL!!

[sillygirl]

Well done!


You missed our Weigh, No Way challenge. Lots and lots of us are obsessed with the scale! Try to nip that addiction right now and base it on how your clothes fit and how you feel!

[purplecat]

They need an anonymous group for people like me (scale obsessed). Truly! I threw one out and then went through withdrawal so badly that I went out and bought another one (even worse because this one has body fat %, etc.). I even tried putting it in a place for me that was hard to get to. Let's just say I got exercise by getting to that hard to reach place daily for a weigh-in.

I promise to work on this addiction of mine.

I complete agree with purplecat. My whole life is scale result dependent.
I don't care how much weight I have lost in the past.
If I weighed 274 for the past 4 weeks and I see my doctor on thursday and that scale is not less than 274, trust me, I will be severly upset.
I know the weight loss is not linear.
I know I am losing inches.
My pants have gone from 52 to 46 , to now I am thinking of getting 44s.
But I weigh every two weeks, and I am so obsessed with the result.
If I lose, I feel like a million dollars, if I gain or stall, its like a death.
Its embarrassing how addicted I am to the results of a weigh in.
(I make sure I don't own my own scale).

yay go you 2lbs!! I'm another daily weigher, but i dont mind if it goes up a couple of pounds, as it makes me stick to it even more. I love waking up and weighing myself, especially during induction.

GO YOU!
