What was also tough is when I go to Burning Man. I'm there for two weeks and all I want to do is eat bacon and drink (except when I'm on duty of course), but I ride my bicycle and walk a lot too.

I hated feeling sluggish shortly after I quit eating right and working out, but slowly I have been feeling a bit better and more energetic too.

I can't really say a whole lot about the bacon, since I have factored bacon into my new diet...lol

I wish I did have better will power. If so I'd probably be a lot slimmer and healthier by now...lol I am trying though. It helps that both of my parents are on a get-healthy kick now, so we try to motivate one another. :)

Since ive been dealing with this sinus infection I have had zero energy,but am on some meds and finaly today I got my antibiotics ive been wainting for for the last two days...the one the doc gave me was a bad reactor with my advair so I needed somethig else.The bigest plus is my blood sugar is down to 105 for the last couple of days its been 190 and 150 in the mornings.I havent slept much in a fue days and wasnt eating right but not doing a lot of wrong stuff either,now im back on the diet to the numbers and do plan to not change things.Being sick and stressed cant pick up the numbers ive been told.
Yesterday I did manage to go out and get a bit of exersise shooting basket ball hoops for 20 minits..I pushed it a bit longer than I had wind to use but when I get this crap it usely ends up in my chest so I thought some moveing around would help..it did...but I was pooped afterwards
Im glad to see how many of u are doing so well,keepup the good work folks..I get more ideas everytime I read some of the post.

I am not even going to tell you all what WE have been eating--Though I think it would be super funny to list things that E has eaten while implying that I have been LittleMissDietQueen.

Still, each day I begin with my coffee and total cereal, cottage cheese and fruit.

*There's been a lot of upheaval in our lives recently, including a new job for me and leaving one where I love the people like whoa--So I am trying to be kind to myself, I cannot go to a negative space--There's literally no time.

This weekend, I did do better shopping so we were set up to have the things we needed in the house, actual vegetables and lunch foods. Onward, and all that.

*Also, I have maintained that 10 lb loss that I did over the course of the last 3 months which is what I love about WW--Even if I veer off of plan, I still don't gain back every single lost pound (just 2). Love that!

They are! My Zumba's are over. I was very intimidated when I first went. It was an outdoor, parking lot, money raising event. I went into the middle of the crowd until I learned *what the heck* that was like the third class. Then it was over in two more weeks.

ShaBam! :| I wonder if that has a copyright? I'd like to make some deco flash dance like T shirts and sell them to some crazy exersize class. Leg warmers too, why not. Love that name ShaBam!! maybe I'll change my screen name. Obsessing about it now. Thanks Kim. Glad to hear you are doing better.

I've been taking the supplements for a few days now and I do have to admit that I appear to be getting to sleep faster. I still wake up in the middle of the night and when Ebon changes pitch/volume/etc but it's more like 2-3 times now versus 6 or more before.

So, thankfully, it does seem to be making a difference. Maybe when my supply runs out, I'll look into melatonin supplements.

So, it kind of makes a fluid-less blister? Interesting. I had a toenail do that a few times. My pinkie toenail got ripped off a couple of times (won't go into those stories) and when it grew back, there was a pocket of air in between the bed and the nail, which eventually led to that nail falling off, but there was a whole new nail underneath then. Weird, I admit.

Check again to be sure. Ebon and I got that member with PF and there's a one year contract with that one, unless they've changed the parameters recently. The white membership for $10/mo has no commitment but you can only go to the one location that you sign up at and don't get the tanning and massage chair bennies.

Having said that, we do enjoy the gym. It's low key and no pressure mentality were just what we needed when we signed up. It still is; we just haven't been in four forevers.

:blink:

Hi Gemme. I am an uncured insomniac. We sort of talked about this in another thread (sleep study) I also suffer from
migraines. They always look at sleep when you have migraines. I had listed on my patient info sheet for the current Neurologist I am seeing....melatonin supplements.
The neurologist said to me* Sleep makes melatonin, melatonin does not make sleep, nor does it put you into a better head space or increase your sex drive. Throw it away.*

Not trusting her 3 walls that were covered with degrees and
medical certifications, I came home and looked that piece of information up on the internet....OMG:| She was telling me the truth. I bet I read that in the check out line of a grocery store while being sleep deprived (melatonin will let you sleep, buy some!!)

I know some who can't sleep without melatonin--Whether it's causing sleepiness, or just part of their nightly routine, I don't know. :)

Not losing but not gaining. Fiber has calories so I have to eat less to account for that!

I did, however, get on the floor this morning to do exercises I have not done in years. I used to do 75 sit-ups a night and thought I would be lucky to do 5 but easily did 25. Went ahead and did the rest of all the back exercises I used to do.

Hugs all,
