Up two tenths of a pound?! Woe is me. Where did I go wrong? Was It the extra water before bed, the rubber band in my hair, or perhaps I was leaning a little to the right on the scale??? It's a plateau!! :) I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Who knows her body?? This girl. I don't always understand it, but I know it lol. Happy with my maintained 175, it is a fabulous number might as well visit with it for a while. Way better than 275, let me tell ya.

Only got two miles in yesterday, brining my total to 48.4. Working and school today, then work all day tomorrow is going to make it a lot more difficult to get miles in. My goal is to get some miles in so that I don't have as many to make up over the weekend. Challenge ends in exactly one week. Okay, technically the challenge ends on the fourth or fifth, but that's only because FS wouldn't let me make the challenge for exactly 31 days, it had to be an even number of weeks. Just realized I have seven days to get like 27 miles... EEK!! If anybody can do it it'll be me... right??

I started a new med yesterday, the doc gave it to me for my bad anxiety. I don't much like the idea of being on something, especially when it might stereotypically label me crazy (haha) but I'm getting awfully tired of not being able to breathe. I was exceptionally irritable last night, I do believe that is premenstrual insanity though. I ended up showering and going straight to bed within a half hour of getting home. It was really a service to my husband and kids, I didn't even want to be around me. Sometimes the best defense I have against myself is unconsciousness lol. I am crazy!

That about wraps it up for me folks, I have to go to work, and I don't really have much left to talk about anyway. I hope that wonderful things are happening in your world.

Make it great! :)

Well, if you're gonna do 4 miles a day, may as well do 8 and give the rest to me, right? Please?

Caution: Don't try this at home! I gave myself a haircut a few months ago [to weigh less and save $$ from a trip to the beauty shop]. ;)

I hope the new med works, I know how frustrating anxiety can be. I am lucky to have gotten past mine for the most part, but still have those days when I find it creeping in. At least you don't need to have anxiety about weight right now, 175 is an awesome number, so is 110 lbs lost!! You are one awesome mama!! :)

Wow! 100 Pounds is so inspirational!!! I am at 268 right now and have been as low as 203. I stared back on my diet yesterday so I'm looking here for ispiration and thanks to YOU, I found it!!! Don't be ashamed to be on a new med. I take Paxil for anxiety. Not because I'm crazy but because it helps me deal with the little things that I worry too much about and let bother me that shouldnt. I don't notice that they do anything until I let myself run out and then I'm like WOW, those were helping! Good Luck!

i firmly accept the crazy label. i have bipolar disorder and a lot of anxiety. i remember when i first started taking meds, i was so resistant. i didn't want to become "dependent" on anything and i didn't like admitting i was crazy. now it's old hat. but especially with the anxiety meds, i totally resisted taking them. i take them fairly frequently now, but i don't consider myself "dependent" or "addicted." i just need a little help sometimes. a little breathing room. you will be ok. they will help. they don't make me feel high or anything, just normal. it will feel great for you to feel normal and to be able to breathe. you have such a great attitude. my starting weight is similar to yours. i hope i can lose the weight you have. you are definitely an inspiration! thanks! and the med doesn't make you crazy, that's reserved for folks like me. i'm chugging along though!

I gained like 3 pounds temporarily after the weekend due strictly to water retention. It was hot and I ate stuff I didn't think had much salt but did. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for the weight to show up and then days to go back down. So perhaps you're in the same boat, in a couple of days it might straighten itself out. Just keep doing what you're doing. If it keeps up, make sure to have your thyroid checked. The anxiety med I was on interfered with thyroid function, which I didn't know until after I had been on it for nearly 3 years.

I'm bipolar too. Type 1 which is the really crazy one and on a mood stabilizer and a anti-schizoid for it that helps some. Like Gnewfry I didn't want to except it but as humans we have to except we're not perfect and we need help some times. Be glad that some day you may be able to get off the meds as they don't help with weight. I'll be on them the rest of my life, but thats ok cause I'm a better person on them. Accepting help is a good thing. Next weight in try leaning back.

I think the 2/10th came from your smile, and 7 days to do 27 miles you can do 4 miles a days :)

Yolanda, you ALWAYS make me SMILE!!! LOL I really like the beginning of your entry here, I really think that way sometimes and I'm sure others do too, but it IS silly isn't it?!! HAHAHAHAHA I wish you the best with getting your miles in, & I pray your anxiety lets up. I KNOW all about that and I can't stand it either! It's an awful feeling. Take Care!! (((hugs)))
