You know after reading SJ's post about having an all about her weekend........I kinda followed suit. I said to heck with others (to a point anyways) and I did what I needed for me. I finally got some MUCH needed sleep, even if I did have to take knock me out meds to do it. LOL I ate something I have been craving non stop for a week, which curbed the hunger I have been feeling. I haven't worried so much about what I was eating but how much I was eating........and I lost another .4 lbs over the weekend so good thing there. LOL I am down to 251.8. There was 1 time there when the scale said 250.8 but I got back on cuz I couldn't believe my eyes and it said 251.8 and so I tried it a 3rd time vowing to take the number it gave me this time and again said 251.8! SO I took it....LMAO
I may not have drank as much water as I should have, but I did get 51 oz in yesterday, Sat I don't remember so I am not going to go back and journal any of it because I can't remember it. I ate some chips this weekend too....I don't do that too often but I am PMS'ing so I did it this weekend. So now it is time to journal again and time for me to conciously monitor myself again. I think I really needed that weekend off from stuff. I should have cleaned a lot more than I did too, but again I REALLY enjoyed a weekend off of reality. I did get addicted to a game I downloaded though....LMAO
I am off work today and have an appt with my dr to discuss my headaches and my bp so I am gone off to that, then it is back to work tommorrow. HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!

Good for you Angela! Nothing wrong with taking a little break from reality...sounds like you needed it!
Angela,
I'm glad I inspired you to have an 'all about me' day. And to reply to your other posts for today, it sounds like you are in a good place - I'm glad you were able to talk to your doctor about everything. I know this is a ways a way for you, but my migraines stopped once I went through menopause. A lot of people have trouble with 'the change' but I had a pretty easy time of it, and here on the other side, the lack of PMS, the fact that every day is kind of the same emotionally (or at least I don't have that-I know I'm not making sense but I still want you to take me seriously-feeling) has made it great.
I had a really nice weekend and I think I'm ready to fight this battle for a while longer. I had a facial yesterday, and I felt really, really relaxed-in fact, I had kind of a wierd experience-one I've had a few times before, where I sensed my grandmother's presence in the room (she died when I was 21, but she was a really important person in my life). The feeling was one of 'everything is going to be fine, you'll make the right choices'. It left me feeling very calm and even if it was just a kind of half-awake dream, it still felt great. And you know I am usually pretty down to earth and practical so I hope this doesn't make you think I'm losing it...
And now, back to you-keep up the good work-I hear a very determined spirit in your posts lately and I am so happy for you.
Lunch tomorrow?

LOL
No Sj I don't think you are losing it.
Seeing that I have averaged 2 lbs/week so far has really helped my determination. LOL
Inches helped but not the same way as seeing the scale go down.
I have my lunch and snacks for the day, and I have my water, and I took the stairs this morning.....the antibiotic is already helping as I am breathing MUCH better. I am still a bit hazy from the muscle relaxer but it will wear off as the day goes on.
Thanks for the encouragement everyone!!
Oh and about menopause....it may not be as far away as you think it is for me........mom went through it at 40 so......maybe it will hit earlier and I will have as easy a time as you did. Dr agrees that taking it alll out would help but can't convince gyn of that.
