Self Anger

-
I stepped on the scale yesterday morning. I had lost a pound or two and felt good. But then I didn't stick to my plan yesterday, and this morning I'm right back where I was last week.

I'm not happy with myself.

This morning, I thought about changing my weigh-in day. Then I realized that the weight needs to stay off, not just be less one day. Now, I'm still thinking about changing the weigh-in day just to change my schedule a bit, give myself a shake-up to see if it would help me get back on track.

I was not good with my eating this week. Guess I will try harder next week. I tracked every bite, but I bit too much.

Tonight is Relay for Life. I'm not very excited, like I feel I should be. But that's another story. I won't bother you with it here.

I just feel like I've lost my motivation. Maybe it's just today, maybe it's something more. Either way, I need to either find that motivation again, or find a new motivation.

    Ugh...motivation. It really is hard to come by, especially when it comes to weight loss :/ But you've been doing so great! And it's ok to have an off day. And speaking of Relay, I had a great time last night! We all appreciate you being the team leader and organizing things for us. Come over for a cup of tea and a chat anytime :}

    Don't get too discouraged with the weight loss plans/goals. You are looking *FABULOUS* and have done an awesome job thus far. Don't give up!

    Weird question, but, when's the last time you've had your thyroid checked?

    I had fun at Relay! Thanks for letting me snooze on your cot!

      I had some thyroid bloodwork done years ago, like '04 or '05? back in KS. I have been meaning to schedule a doc appointment to get cholesterol and thyroid checked, at least for a baseline.

      That's a very good suggestion, Amber! My mom found that she felt TONS better after getting on a medication regimen for her thyroid.

In Need of Advice

-
Most of my local girlfriends follow me here, so I can ask for advice. I'm a messy person. I always have been. J knew this when we started dating. He knew it when we moved in, when we got engaged, when we got married. He still isn't used to it, and eventually we argue a little about the state of the house. I've never been very organized. I'm a stacker. I like to make stacks and piles, and then leave them there. Fortunately, I'm not a afraid of germs or dirt. Or maybe that's unfortunately, since it would probably help me keep a cleaner house. I see my friends' houses and don't know how they do it. Especially the ones with kids. How do you keep your counter so clean? How do you keep things put away? Another part of the problem is that I don't like cleaning. I mean, sometimes I actually say, "Oh, let's do some dishes. That sounds like the thing to do now." Sometimes. Other times I look at my dirty dishes and want to just throw them...

An Ode to Prescription Drugs

Oh tramadol, my tramadol, You ease my pain, But you set sweet sleep Beyond my grasp And make me itch *le sigh* Ok, so it's not exactly an ode, but it's what I got at 0611 when the migraine didn't go away last night. I took tramadol when it started to hurt. I had taken ibuprofen and it apparently didn't keep the pain away. I waited about 5 hours to take a second tramadol, since it says to take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. Then I went to bed. I got this weird roaming itch. I think I've mentioned it before but don't feel like looking it up. I had trouble sleeping again as well. It wasn't as bad as last time, but I couldn't seem to just stay asleep. So I looked up side effects of tramadol. Mild itching is a common side effect, which explains the roaming itch. Dry mouth is another side effect, and yes I experience that. I just keep water by my bed. But this trouble sleeping isn't listed. I suppose it could just be the itching that's waking m...

Cleaning Update

-
I got tons of advice from all kinds of people, and it's helping. I posted that cleaning schedule on my fridge in a plastic sheet protector. I mark off the chores each day as I do them. I just started week 2. Week 1 went well. I did end up with a bit of a migraine on Friday and didn't get the master bath done, but I knocked it out this morning. I think it might work. For my "once a months" I'm going to do that thing on the week it's next to. So this week I pull out the movable furniture (couches, chairs, any shelves that are easy to move) and suck up all the dog hair that collects there. Some of the furniture, mostly shelves, is hard to move and will get done during big cleaning sprees. I would love to start doing a spring cleaning in preparation for Passover. I haven't even been able to celebrate Passover the past few years, but I'll be home for it next year and have some girlfriends who would be interested in coming. Anywho, the cleaning is...
