Somebody Stop Me!! (08/25/08)

I can't seem to stop eating today....I've had two helpings of grapes, which are basically pure carbs, and then 3 fat-free crackers along with my partial buritto for lunch and a couple of the sugar-free Nips candys. I'm stressing today - we sold our old car on Saturday and now we're trying to find a new one for Brittany and the money crunching is stressing me out...I've also started trying to sell MaryKay products and I've sent out e-mails to all of my friends and haven't heard from any of them!! Well, I've heard from like three of the hundred. I was hoping my friends would throw some little parties and I'd be able to get some business started. At least enough to start me off with some confidence. I sure hope this is a good thing for me - it's better than working at a department store every night, but it's not any good if I don't do any sales...ugh!! On a brighter note, I am 18 lbs. away from goal - I've lost 83 lbs. so far. I have one more month until I go for my 3-month check up at Dr. Machado's office, so I'm hoping to have lost another 8-10 lbs. by then. I was originally hoping to be at goal by that appointment, but I don't think that's going to happen. I should be close, but I don't think I can lose 18 in one month nor do I want to. That wouldn't be healthy. As it is, I'm now losing 1-2 lbs. a week instead of 3-4 lbs. Too many carbs which is slowing me down. Even though they are healthy carbs, like in grapes, they are still carbs. Plus, I haven't exercised in the last week. I've been having some issues with nausea after I take my meds in the morning and evening. I mean bad. Seems to upset my stomach something horrible. I don't know if it's one of the new pills I'm taking (for my hair loss + vitamin D + a laxative). So, I think I'll stop taking all three and add one back at a time and see if it's a reaction to that. It sucks though - I literally have to lie down afterwards for a good half an hour. Not a good feeling!! It has been nice to do a little shopping now & then though and be in the smaller sizes. I can't believe I'm wearing a medium shirt. Of course, the boobs have disappeared now...lol. I even had fun dancing at my sister & brother-in-laws wedding renewal ceremony last Saturday and I wasn't exhausted or sweaty at the end of the evening!! Well, that's it for this edition...lol...til next time!
