Wednesday Weigh In & Fill

Last Wednesday’s Weight: 186lbs
This Wednesday’s Weight: 185lbs

Hey everyone!!! So I lost 1lb this week! I'm pretty excited about that seeing that is what I set out to do!

I went for my fill this morning.  I had a 10am appointment and when I got there they said my appointment was cancelled on 11/22!!! They said it was cancelled on the hospitals behalf, not by me, which I already knew. The woman also said that she could see that no one called me to let me know, which I could have told her lol. So I had to wait 35 minutes but I did get to see one of the other nurse practitioners for a fill. I'm so thankful they fit me in because the cancellation was not my fault and I drive a long way to get to the hospital.

Soooooo if you remmeber at my last fill in Sept. me and Pam (my normal nurse practitioner) were chatting so much I forgot to ask how much of a fill she gave me. I found out today she gave me .3 in Sept. which put me up to 7.5 and then today the new lady Laura, gave me .4 so I am up to 7.9!

Hopefully this puts me back up to my sweet spot!!!! Right now my focus is Christmas..... I want to loose 10lbs by Christmas Day. Looking ahead my cruise is May 7th and I want to reach 150lbs by my cruise so that is 35lbs from where I am now. I have to get more commited to cardio as I'm already doing super well with the circuit training but I have to up the cardio in order to really shed the lbs!!!

I think for the first time ever I am going to loose weight during the Holidays! Wicked Cool!

Have a Happy Turkey Day!!!

Drought Within Myself!

I continually go back and forth back and forth with my water consumption. One week I'll drink more than I can bare and the next week I drink hardly any, and then press repeat.

Well that is the way it usually goes.....I don't remember the last time I was on a week where I drank more than I could bare. Lately I've been seriously having a drought within myself. Like legit I've drank no water.

Well is has finally caught up to me. Signs of mild dehydration are (but not limited to
  • Thirst
  • Loss of Appetite
  • Dry Skin
  • Skin Flushing
  • Dark Colored Urine
  • Dry Mouth
  • Fatigue or Weakness
  • Chills
  • Head Rushes
(The ones I am experiencing are in bold) 

Yesterday, about mid day I started to develop this awful headache. The kind where the front of your head kills and if you sneeze or cough or shake your head your whole brain feels like it's pinging around in your skull. Well I tried to take something but it didn't really work it just took the edge off. After work I ended up going to bed really early hoping I could sleep it off but I woke with the same aweful headache!!! On my Birthday!! I hate feeling sick on my Birthday it is awful!!! Anyway so I am chalking this all up to most likely being dehydrated so I am drowning myself in water!!!


I have to take care of myself, no one else is going to!
