Nasty Nor'Easter
We are getting a heavy hit from this storm right now! I am working until noon and then they are sending us home. I did stop by the gym this morning to see if they were open because I was anxious I might not get my WI tomorrow. So they were open and I stepped on the scale....
160.4
That is a 3.8 pound loss. I am happy and proud that journaling and being honest this week has worked so far. I have not had a chance to really workout except for one day but I have stayed in points and averaged between 1100 and 1300 calories. Which is too low if I was able to get in cardio. Anyway, it has given me the incentive to realize I am going to get through the holidays by journaling and staying honest. I am not anticipating huge losses and this week has been a loss because I was literally probably at 5,000 calories a day last week.
Saturday is my birthday and Sunday we will have people over to watch the Steelers. There is going to be food and I am going to enjoy. I will try to eat as balanced as I can but I am not going to worry about it. I feel strong enough that some treats this weekend is not going to derail me again.
I had the two moles removed yesterday. She said she got the cancer out. It didn't really hurt because I was numbed but it felt weird and took longer than I thought. I am VERY grateful as I mentioned that it is not melanoma but I think the reality hit this morning when I took off the bandage and the incisions are about 2-3 inches. I was not expecting them to be that big at all! I started crying in the shower because I am getting one done on my head next week and it makes me nervous how big that incision will be. I am so thankful and grateful because I know it could be so much worse! The other news is no lifting for 3 weeks. I was not expecting that. She said running and walking is fine. No 30DS, no pushups and no weights. I am not even supposed to lift Pace. She said it is because of the healing and the scars. Oh well, I will walk, elliptical and run. Next week I think I will be off cardio for 48 hours after the head. BUT, I will be fine. I will stay within my points and get in activity when I can.
Hope everyone is safe, dry and having a GREAT day!

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Comment by Shannon H. on November 12, 2009 at 5:41pm - Congrats on a HUGE loss. I can relate to your concern about facial scars because of mole removal. My whole family is very fair skinned and many have had spots removed. My mom had a horribly deep one on her face and was very self conscious. A few months later and you hardly notice the scar at all. It has healed well...so don't worry!

First of all, congrats on the 3.8 loss and staying on track! Woohoo!
Second, happy early birthday! I hope you have a great day...sounds like a fun time you have planned. Much to celebrate!
Third, aren't moles the worst? I had a couple taken off in August and a couple more off in April. It always hurts more afterwards than I expected and the scars (on me anyway) aren't fun either. Luckily they fade in time. BUT the alternative of what they can turn into...let's just say I'd rather be covered with scars! I'm a moley person. I'm sure there's more excisions and biopsies in my future.
Hang in there girl, and enjoy your birthday weekend to the fullest!

It's helped a great deal. I had a friend in FL who has to deal with the moles and she also had one removed from her head. You really can't see her scar and hers was a pretty big deal. We're having friends over this weekend too to watch the Buckeye game. I'm going to try my best not to eat junk. WIth me its once I start I can stop. Have fun this weekend and take it easy.

I didn't know it was your birthday Saturday! How did I not know that? Email me your address please. :)
You are a rock star! What an awesome loss! Go you, it's your birthday, but for real though! :)
I'm glad that they removed the moles and that it's not melanoma, it's still scary though I imagine. Take care of yourself and listen to the Doctor. I know you'll do great because you ARE great! :)
