I weighed again this morning, still maintaining the 1 lb loss this week. My plan calls for weighing in once a week, guess I need to make up my mind where that is Friday or Sunday....
That 1 lb loss is really a big successs beacuse I have had to increase couple of my meds this week (Lyrica & pain pills) for reoccurring neuropathy (I sure wish FS had spell check). The Lyrica causes me to retain lots of fluids. Even first thing in the morning my ankles look like they are wearing donuts! By the end of the day they are truely monstrous, huge and ugly! I DON'T need any more ugly problems! I am still trying to find a short, no daily maintenance required, haircut that works with my little round face!!!!
At least my nails are gorgeous: long, each the same length, a pretty spring pink, and a couple of pink and yellow flowers. Yes, my toe nails match! Its already sandels and flip flops time here---can't have ugly toes! Though this week no one noticed my toes, only how big and painful my ankles looked! Woe is me! But life is unbearable w/oo the meds. :(
Guess I better go back to worrying and fixing the haircut issue, At least I have chance at success there.:)
This week will be another challenge to my Atkins food plan (I hate the word diet). I have another out of town, overnight trip with people who, of course, need very little excuse for a party. If I can just stay away from the margaritas! I have to make myself remember while 1 might not hurt, the first one usually leads to more than 1. Its hard to resist those cool & delicous drinks at about 7pm, dinner on the patio, Texas weather at about 80 degrees, slight evening breeze.....just can't beat that combination!!!
Maybe someone could send me some ideas for a low carb adult drink choices. All my usual favorites are full of sugar: margaritas, amaretto sours, whiskey sours, tequila sunrises, mai tai....... Somehow my coffee is NOT keeping up with that list! LOL
Guess I need to sign off for now, and get my kitchen ready for the week!

This week has been soooo hectic, work was in crisis mode all week, all the laboratory inspections my department did were last minute, like have to do them yesterday and then some of them had such serious issues, the reports will have to go to the Federal level for enforcement procedures and possible closure, and I still have to write the reports, the hardest part. UGH!!
Despite all the "fires" this week with work, I managed to lose 1 lb! Yeah! I stuck to the correct foods and exercised at the pool 4 days this week, the pool time felt so good after work, I am amazed how mentally relaxing I find my workouts, thank goodness, cause I sure need it this week!
The coming week doesn't promise to be any better: writing the inspection reports, communications with the Feds, plus an overnight out of town trip for an all state staff meeting.......
Well today my Dad and I are going to the Farmers Market, downtown Dallas, and get the stuff to make fresh salsa. When I make salsa I always end up with about a gallon that has to be eaten within about a week---it usually gets all eaten because as soon as my sister, brother-in-law(s), 2-3 cousins... all find out I have made salsa, everyone shows up begging for some to take home. My way of keeping up with everyone, I also manage to work out some trades for the salsa: produce from their gardens, getting my car washed, free dog sitting when we out of town.....
I also managed to try a new craft project: decorating flip flops. I crocheted Eyelash yarn around the straps so now they are Fuzzy flip flops. They turned out pretty good, I am going to wear mine with jeans, I am going to be so "hip" for an old lady!
The comments about being "the old lady at the pool" are sometimes funny but other times I find them very annoying---I am 'only' 51, have never particular looked my age, but they sure make me aware that some people think anyone over 22 is old. Some days I am not comfortable with the idea that other people think I am too old, and too old for what? Is this what is call a mid-life crisis??
Got to go, the tomatoes, peppers, cilantro and onions are calling me..
later:
Dad and I shopped the whole Farmers Market and then made salsa together, we had fun and the salsa turned out wonderful. Then my DH brought over pork chops to Dad's and grilled them on the George Forman, added a little cooked fresh zucchini and salsa, Dad and I stayed on our diets with ease :)

losing 1.2 lb a week
11 May 2008
Oh, well, I had to post a gain, the first time since Jan. I have always been able to maintain the same before. :(
Let's see, there was the expected rebound from the fat fast, the couple of nights of margaritas, a couple of days w/o 64 ozs water, a week with Aunt Flo, and my ankles look like donuts---Yeah, better count myself lucky it wasn't any worse. Yesterday I started back on the Induction phase and tomorrow I will be back at the pool.
I am ready to lose the next 10 lbs! Need to lose another 12 lbs by July 7, my goal is lose a total of 40 lbs by my B-day!
Weigh-in:
256.0 lb

gaining 4.4 lb a week
10 May 2008
What a week! I have been in Albuquerque all week (training sessions), got back yesterday evening. Got up early today to do an Arts & Craft Show. I AM TIRED!!! I haven't stepped on the scales yet so I am not sure what last weeks margaritas did to me..........Also I expected part of the weight loss from the fat fast to come back. Other than a couple of mixed drinks I stayed on my diet so maybe it won't hurt too much. I think I will put off weighing in till in the morning, need all the advantages I can find!Hee, Hee LOL :) Anyway, I am back on the straight and narrow today. Hoping to get the loss numbers to 40 lbs by my birthday (July), and then I am going to ENJOY that double chocolate fudge truffle.............
