173.5! lowest in months.
remained AF last night, heavy cravings!! went to sleep instead. took a nap on our guest bed last night for 3 hours then got up took my night meds and went to bed/sleep. Got up this morning before the alarm from having a 2nd hot flash/night sweat...don't think these supplements are working for me.
Getting ready to take a shower....

Hi, Bizi,


You are doing well AF.

I wonder if your GP could help you with the hot flashes (Some blood work
to check).

I don't know of anything that honestly helps hot flashes.

So I can't help you there just time. Hormones they say sometimes
do but I couldn't take them because of breast cancer.

Had one hot flash/night sweat last night.
Got out of bed and stood by the fan, so tired of this!

I am happy because I got on the scale and I lost another pound 172.4!!
My most recent low was 167 back in march then went up to 180. So I have lost consistently this month 2 pounds per week. Which is great in my books.
When I was drinking too much I gained back the weight that I lost. I yo yo weight wise which is so unhealthy.

Waiting for the coffee to be finished as I desperately need a cup this morning. I have a caffeine head ache. Ahhh coffee is ready.

Last night My back was sore from working. I had been leaning down and not holding good posture. I asked Jeff to apply the magnesium gel that I picked up for my back when I fell lasts friday. It helped. My back feels fine this morning.

I see 4 clients today like normal and am working out of town tomorrow. Will see six residents at this assisted living facility.
I work there once a month and enjoy this day immensely because I get to have lunch at mcdonalds....Their oatmeal is the best!
I get their grilled chicken breast and a side of guacamoli. I normally don't eat fast food but this is so conveniently located right across the street. And I have not been able to find another restaurant close by.
ah...2nd cup of coffee. head ache is gone.!

I was able to pick my car up from the honda dealership. They fixed my air conditioning problem and provided services that were needed. She gave me a 10% discount because I asked for one.Which basically paid for my taxes. They flushed the fuel line transmission fluid, injectors, oil change, recall air bag. The total was $1600. I put it on visa but paid for it out of our line of credit.
WE charge every thing on our visas as they earn 1.5% interest/cash back. Then we pay the bills off entirely at due date automatically taken out of our checking account. Right now the line of credit is at 1.99% interest for the first 6 months. We should see where we are financially then to determine how much we have left to pay off. So far we have used about $17K. Foundation repair, moisture barrier, electrical, new brick mail box, new fiberglass front door, Vacation to paris/prague in the fall and now my car repairs.

Jeff cooked dinner last night. Speckled trout. It was delicious! We also had steamed edemame and a side salad. Healthy dinner. I used lite balsamic dressing on my salad.
Since Jeff is out for the summer, we have been having lunch together at sandras health food store. We were so happy to see my friends having lunch there yesterday. Paula and Niko are my lunch bunch pals. We used to eat lunch together every day, a group of 5-6. Then whole foods opened up 3 years ago and split the group up. So now we are down to 3 of us maybe once every week or 2. I appreciate their friendship so much. And miss our daily lunches.

Tonight is trivia at whole foods in the bar...Jeff likes to play. Since I am not drinking right now It is hard just sitting there, I am not a big trivia fan because I am horrible at it and it is very depressing to me. So I hope a new client calls today so I can work late...so far no calls.

Well I had better go see my client, already called her and told her that I would be late. She appreciated the call.

Thank you for reading and have a good day!

I'm really sorry about the $1600 hit for the car repairs, Bizi
That stinks, but I'm glad that you got your AC fixed, the recall taken care of, and the other repairs/services done.

2 pounds a week is great! And you are not far from 167lbs now!
You are doing really well resisting those urges to drink. I'm really happy that you have found effective ways to fight them

It's obvious you are still not comfortable at trivia night, so I hope you do get a call from a client. If not, maybe the bartender can make you an AF Pina coolata or something to sip on?

I did go to trivia and sailed thru drinking 6 14 oz glasses of water. and eating a very big dinner. Trivia was fun even though I did not get any of the answers. Jeff knew most of the answers and we got second place, $10 gift card that we just applied to the bill.


I work tomorrow so will need to get up early, am afraid I will be up all night peeing!

I bet you were up all night peeing!
But all that water was for a good cause

How was your oatmeal yesterday? Was it good, or disappointing again?

You are working today, too? Wow! When is your next day off?

Weight is up this morning so maybe I was a bit dehydrated and needed all of that water? Though I look pregnant today, more so than normal...
SIGH


Today was out of town and was an oatmeal day. It was very good!.
One of my clients refused my service so I got home early, hate that.
Am going to work in the yard a bit, already watered my plants and am watering the back yard to. Even though we are due rain for tomorrow, never know how much rain we will actually get and today is one of the days that we can water.
Being on the computer makes me so sleepy! and now my eyes burn from lack of blinking. So I am trying to blink more often then naturally.
Just how I will stay awake for the latin band that starts

playing at 10pm...
I really am taking not drinking a day at a time.
Each day I give myself a choice to drink or not drink. I will drink again....on vacation for sure, in less than 2 weeks.

I bet if you push the water for a day or two you will really pee and that weight will come right back off

"I really am taking not drinking a day at a time.

That is the best (and a fantastic) attitude to take, Bizi, and really all you can do if you want to stay AF. I think drinking on vacation is different because you are making a conscious choice to drink, just like you have been making the conscious choice not to drink. As long as you can stop after that planned period of drinking, I see no problem

It's so nice that you have been motivated to work in the yard lately...
You have been doing so well in all things

Back down to 173.5 this morning... so my weight is fluctuating.

I have not gone to the bathroom in a couple of days so maybe after some coffee this morning things will get going.
I took an extra magnesium oxide last night.
I had had high hopes of losing more weight before my pdocs appointment next week. She will know that I relapsed and gained the extra weight.
sigh




I had told myself that if my weight had not come back down that I would drink this morning at brunch some bloody marys.
So I guess I am not drinking.


Taking it a day at a time.
