Day 37 LM - 114.7 (- 2 of LDW)

What the...

Okay, this is truly a mystery to me. I skipped dinner because I knew we'd be having wine and snacks last night with the representative from the winery, which we did, including a wine with a very high sugar content. I had chips and dip, and was still hungry when I got home so had leftover chicken in a white sauce (a total no-no as it was made with white flour), and later (close to 11 at night!) a handful of cashews. I was expecting a steak day. I weighed myself 4 times in disbelief. First it showed 114.3 - got that twice. Hopped off the scale and waited a minute. 115.6. Okay, hmmm... waited one more minute and got 114.7. Since it was in between, I chose that number to post. I told my mom I thought perhaps the scale needed new batteries. She told me to get over it. :) I have a zit over my lip, so the higher weight I believe must have been hormonal and I must have started my cycle. It's the only way I can explain it, but hey, I'm not complaining!! So much for my old habits, right? It will be better when the kids are in school and I can start exercising again and focusing on that - good health, balance, peace.

LD, I still need to talk to the counselor at the school, but their classes began Aug 16. I'm not sure when the next set starts. I'll keep you posted! Speaking of, I sure miss your posts but am so glad you continue to check up on me!

Lis, anything you buy at the State Liquor Store has a "normal" alcohol content, including beer, though they sell the "light" alcoholic beer in regular grocery stores. The laws here are nutty!!

I need to prepare for my son's 10th (!!!!) birthday party. I can't believe it's been 10 years...

Okay, off to check on you! XOXOX

Edited to add...

I just had to have my husband pick the kids and I up from the store because I can no longer flex my right foot up. I was afraid to drive. I'm still having trouble with it but will keep you posted. In the mean time, my car is sitting in the store's parking lot.

Update...

Husband walked to the store and picked up my car, that dear man. I found an orthopedic surgeon and will make an appointment first thing Monday morning. My potential new boss understands. Please think healing thoughts for me. I'm guessing this has something to do with my tendons. I wore Sketcher's Shape Ups today and we know I have damage to my foot. I thought it might be a good supportive shoe but I think it may actually have caused the damage. Healing thoughts, healing thoughts, healing thoughts...

ouch! I'm so sorry about your foot sweetie! SOOOO glad to hear you have an appt with the Dr. for Monday. You really need to get to the bottom of this, and get treatment. Are the Sketchers some sort of athletic shoe? I imagine they weren't the right 'fit' for your foot right now. It probably put too much stress on the foot. I hope your Dr. will tell you what sort of shoe or support system you should be giving the foot just now. Not that you asked, but I wouldn't suggest any sort of exercise until your Dr. gives you the OK on that. Please take it easy.

Now to the weight. My dear, dear friend-- you are having a hard time it seems, really believing you are stabilized! Don't get me wrong, I understand the conundrum. It's taken you quite awhile to get to this place. Its almost like you don't quite believe that you are here. You have arrived at your dream! One of these days, you are going to accept that indeed, your hypothalamus is on track helping you to maintain this hard-won LDW. What a wonderful place to be!!

Please keep us posted on that darned foot- Take care.

love you!

ps. I am saying this now, because I hope you will help me stick to it. I am going to start my next round the first of September. In the meantime, my birthday is Sunday, and I am taking the opportunity/liberty of eating anything and everything between now and September. Going out with a BIG bang. Yep, the big bang theory. Only I'm the one that may explode!

Thanks so much, LD. I don't have an appointment yet, but will call on Monday. I'm pretty well convinced I damaged my foot with all those years of hardcore exercise and have somehow continued to aggravate it. It was terrifying to not be able to flex it up. To have the brain say, "go up!" and it to act as if there was a magnet pulling it down with every effort had me shaking with fear. I pray I can find some relief and get to the bottom of this, and I PROMISE, NO EXERCISE until I do and get the okay.

Thanks for being here for me. You have a BLAST with the indulging! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERY DAY UNTIL THE DAY! Love you!
