Day 44

Sharon — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 03:44:42 +0000

I’m done. Yay! Yahoo!
But I really don’t feel like eating anything today. I’m so nervous about scouts my stomach is in knots.
I gained back my lost pound today and I’m sad about that too. My hair is falling out and I don’t know why. What else can go wrong.
At least I made myself go walking this morning. 3 1/2 miles. Ya!

Day 43

Sharon — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 03:15:13 +0000

Last Day of maintenance, Yay! I actually lost a pound today and that’s a good thing because I am going to eat a bowl of ice cream just as soon as I get paid, on Friday. It rained today, can you believe this weather we’re having? One day it’s hot and I’m getting a suntan and the next day it’s raining, weird.

Day 42

Sharon — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:05:31 +0000

Didn’t leave any weight in Snow Canyon it all came home with me. Darn. I know the clothes don’t do me justice but I don’ have the money to spend on new ones yet.
1 more day and I can choose what I want to eat. Hopefully I will stay eating like I have been but ice cream sure sounds good right now.

Day 41

Sharon — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 02:23:10 +0000

2 more days and I can have ice cream!

Terry and I put up the arbor in the backyard today.

backyard arbor

I put the last of the stones down this morning and filled some containers with potting soil and planted some radishes and some herbs in them. I’m so excited to finally get something planted.
After lunch Terry took me on a long strenuous hike in Snow Canyon and he wanted to do it again tomorrow morning but I got called into work. Gee I’m sorry Terry that I can’t go. Maybe when I get home. It will be fun to see if I left any weight in Snow Canyon. I fixed some halibut for lunch but I think it was freezer burned, it didn’t taste good at all. I had strawberries for dessert and am going to bed early.

Day 40

Sharon — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 02:08:00 +0000

So happy Easter to all. We had 4 baby chicks hatch today. Just in time for Easter but not soon enough to let Sarah give them to the kids in their baskets. I didn’t walk today, I just didn’t feel like it. Work was supposed to go fast but it ended up being busy again. I had to leave early because of overtime and double pay but that’s ok, I was tired anyway. I’m still at the same weight and have 3 more days of maintenance. I had broccoli for dinner again tonight. My hands are starting to swell up again, I think I need to drink more water.

Day 39

Sharon — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 03:54:54 +0000

Finally a great day at work. Everything went smooth, just as planned. We even got ahead today. I lost 1 pound and that even added to the excitement. Everyone got along and that relieved a lot of my stress. Hopefully my hair will quit falling out now. 4 more days of maintenance. I had a chicken breast for lunch and an apple for a snack and we went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner and I got the steamed broccoli, a chicken breast and a garden salad with no dressing.

Day 38

Sharon — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:21:15 +0000

10 minutes short of a 12 hour work day. BUT, I got to eat lunch today. Spinach and strawberries. When I got home, after 8, I was so hungry that I ignored my no eating after 7 pm rule and fixed some beef and broccoli for dinner. Now it’s bedtime.

Last night I went to bed just after 10 pm. I laid on my right side and when I woke up this morning at 4:30 am I was still on my right side. D’ya think I was tired? When I stood up the room started spinning real bad, I could hardly stand so I laid back down till the dizziness went away and I got up again but it was still there. I forced myself to walk down to the kitchen and get a drink of water. My body kept wanting to go to the right. It was like when I was little and my dad would spin me around and then laugh because I couldn’t walk straight. I weighed myself (175#) and changed into my running clothes but decided that I had better walk this morning instead. It was hard walking in a straight line but I made the 3 mile circuit in about 35 minutes. I started feeling better by the time I left for work and it didn’t bother me any more today. We’ll see what happens in the morning.

Day 37

Sharon — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 03:48:15 +0000

One more week to go on the maintenance portion of the diet. I am still 175 pounds. Today was my Monday and it was supposed to be an easy day but one girl had to go to the work med place and that set us behind so I didn’t get a lunch again. I ate an apple while on the go. After work I had roundtable and I didn’t get out of there until 9:30 so by the time I got home it was to late to eat so I just went to bed. I was going to drink a lot of water today but time got away from me and I only got about 4 cups down me. When I get dehydrated my lips start to chap and they are so I am. Drink more water Sharon.

Day 34

Sharon — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:02:46 +0000

I worked out in the backyard today and guess what? I even took some pictures. My body is so sore right now though. I bet I sleep good
tonight.

Day 33

Sharon — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:26:08 +0000

175 must be my new set point because as much as I run in the mornings and at work I’m staying right there. I didn’t get a lunch again today but Terry and I went to Slice of Tuscany and had a chopped chicken salad. I haven’t had one of those for so long and it sure was good. I’m back up to running 2 miles a day. I think my body is craving it now.
