Checking in

Ok, so I'm finally checking in. I know it's been a while & I know everyone who is reading this probably thinks I went off the deep end. Well ... I didn't, not really. I'm still waiting for TOM ... he's 4 days late. I don't know what the heck is going on with me. It's like the more I weigh the less I can predict when or if he is coming at all. =(

Anyway, I had a scare ... this past weekend we were supposed to be moving my MIL from B'ham to live with us. I don't know if any of you know our history but we just don't mesh. We always start out fine ... a day or so but then it's like she isn't happy unless she is trying to stir up some kind of trouble. She was going to be moving here because she broke up with her boyfriend. He's an alcoholic & she is strung out on perscription meds ... so many in fact that pharmacies around the area don't want to fill her meds anymore. (long story) Anyway, in the end she decided to be a slave to her sister & BIL ... fine by me, means I don't have to deal with her crap.

My weight is up ... but like I said, TOM isn't here yet & I think I'm holding on to everything. Monday's weigh in was 198 & as of this morning I am 197.5. Not a huge loss but considering I haven't been eating all my fruits & veggies like I was ... I can't complain to much.

I'm still exercising ... I don't think I would be as low as I am if I weren't. On the weekends, now that it's cooler, we have been going to t he nature trail as a family & walking anywhere from 1.3-2.6 miles. It's nice. Good news ... my son who is trying to shed a couple of pounds is doing great. Back in July he was 5 foot & 132.2 pounds ... he's now almost 5'1 and 130 pounds. He's so proud of himself as we all are.

Food for today ... minus dinner cause I have no earthly idea of what I'm making.

Ok, for cardio ... I did a 1 mile fast walk this morning before anyone got up out of bed. This afternoon ... energy provided!!! I went back to taking Alli ... don't know how much it's gonna work. I thought about trying nutrisystem but it's close to $300 a month for just me. YIKES ... I can't see myself spending so much money on just me. DH said he didn't mind but I tell ya what ... if Id id that I would feel so guilty. I looked into Xenical ... the high octane formula of Alli ... I found it online at www.privatepills.com after Alli is gone I might switch over to that. I just don't know that Alli is all that strong for me. I was seeing what looked like oil in the pot while on it so I thought it was working but 3 weeks off of it & I was still noticing it. I now believe that the only thing Alli does for me is help me with my bowel movements. Istead of 1-2 a day now its 3-4. Although I know my diet isn't the healthiest it could be ... I don't take in an HUGE amount of fat.

Ok, so that's all for me. Hope to come back with an update before another 2 weeks go by.
