Sunday Weigh In - November 27, 2011
Well, here I am again, with another week behind. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was good; Thanksgiving dinner was at the rehab center with Auntie and was very good. Yesterday was Thanksgiving, again, with my daughter and her family, who were unable to join us on Thanksgiving Day. Of course, I did the cooking.
Anyway, things are gradually starting to settle down here, and I'm hoping to be able to enjoy retirement soon.
As far as my weight is concerned, I haven't done so well. I'm up another 2 pounds this morning, from last week. I'm becoming concerned about it, only because I've been retaining a lot of fluid lately. Sometimes, within a couple hours of getting up, my feet/ankles are twice their normal size; my fingers puff up horribly and I've even had to work my rings off, to keep them from cutting into my fingers. I have no idea what might be causing this, but I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning, so will be sure to try to find out. It may have something to do with my thyroid issue, which means I'll have to go back to my endo.
Anyway, I'm up from last week's 146 lbs to 148 this morning. My eating hasn't changed and I've been walking nearly every day (only missed 2 days this week), with my winter neighbor. As soon as I hit "post" on this, I'm going to get out the yoga dvd that I've had for over a year and never taken out of the case.
Okay, enough about me; how are all of you doing? Again, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and that you were able to maintain your status through the holiday. Let us know how you did.
Wishing everyone a great week.
Remember, we win by losing.

Oops; looks like we've all had some problems over the past week.
I had a doctor appt yesterday and given a new blood pressure medication that includes a diuretic and was told to go get my thyroid levels tested again, as I have some other symptoms of being hypo again. Was going to do that this morning, but forgot until after I'd already taken one of my thyroid meds.
Will be waiting at the lab tomorrow morning, when they open.
Anything I can do for you guys, let me know. We have to support each other.
The holidays are often very stressful and can lead to emotional eating. I ate WAY more than my share for Thanksgiving, also. Let's see if we can all get back on track.

Hey there I didnt do so well up 2.8 this week so not happy w/myself, and to make matters worse I was very very bad w/food after weight in cus I was so upset, hate being an emotional eater thought I got over that but tonight proved me wrong
Well I did lose this week. I actualy took 0.4 lbs! Even thanksgiving was last month here in Canada. Maybe it's related because I got my period in the past week and I had to go to the ER for extrem bleeding and they had to give me medication to stop the bleeding.
Ah well I'm gona stop finding excuse! I gained 0.4 lbs this week.
