I may actually go to the hospital tomorrow to see if I can get checked out for free. I got a new pain in my upper back (Did I mention this? My cold is making me stupid and forgetful) and the whole day was torture. It was like I need to crack it but can't. Feel like somebody took my spine apart and put the pieces back in the wrong way.

In other news, can't breathe and I smell like a combo of Vicks and Ben-Gay!

On the plus side, I couldn't smell the smoke as much as usual at work, and I bought really cute light brown knee high boots for CHEAP!



I can do it

Jstar.. I dunno if I will be doing deadlifts again... Plus if I go on accutane (even more scared to now that my back already hurts) I will probably be limited in the types of workouts I can do.

Jilly, I'll trade ya lime tic tacs for health insurance lol

At least it was AllBran, and not Frosted Flakes or cinnamon toast crunch or one of those! Just think it could have been worse

Ohh GG, Cinnamon toast crunch used to be my worst enemy. Seriously. I binged on it like it was going out of style ALL the time. Now, I easily bypass it to get to my healthy cereal and don't spend a second thinking about it.

Good afternoon Babsie! Yes, that was bad, but I waited too long to eat and I was hungry.. MY mistake! I was on the phone BTW..your packet came but it had busted open in the envelope and my mom threw it out

Good afternoon NT! I was considering going to the hospital to see if I can get my back looked at for free, but I decided to stay home instead and spend a bit of time with my dad before he leaves for greece, I might still go tomorrow tho.

Oddly enough, my brother has sort-of similar problems, he went to the doc today for his hernia, which he will be getting operated on after the semester ends.

It's sunny outside and for that I am grateful. The sun has this way of lifting my spirits. I also went tanning yesterday, maybe I should go more regularly for the mood-lifting benefits. Back is the same, still icing and ben-gaying it.

I'm happy My face is looking thinner, and I am looking leaner somewhat, even tho I refused to get on the scale today. I have the feeling it'll read the same thing and I'd be disappointed even tho I am definately seeing changes. Go me! What sucks is I am still out of the gym. I def need to start walking until I can do anything else. I wish I never hurt myself, but I learned my lesson. Don't let my ego get in the way of lifting safely!!!!!!

I was worried about it busting open...but what can ya do? Not-a-thing...but hope postal workers are cautious with packages, etc....Sorry your mom threw them out. Oh well.

Congrats on noticing the changes you're making!!!!!! Keep up the good work and stay away from the scales.....

Good goin on the changes girl. What you see in the mirror and how your clothes fit are most important.

Can you not just go power walking for cardio??? Lift weights for your armies? WHat do you think happened to your back??? Just a possible 'pull of a muscle?' How much weight were you using?

Afternoon Greekie

Is it nice out today - enjoy it for 4 me then since I am stuck at work til 5:30.

don't worry about the cereal tho. ever try to eat it like this:

all bran/fiber one with
frozen unsweetened blueberries on top
use All whites instead of milk

It's good!

sometimes I would put a scoop or 1/2 scoop of protein powder on top.

Hey nena,


I haven't forgotten about you, things have been more than hectic this month for me...and the worse is yet to come, since I have to go to Germany next mont for a medical convention.
Enough about me. I am so happy that you are noticing your changes. That's literally the most exciting moment. Forget about the scale, when your lying eyes (which is what I call mine) begin to notice a change, that's bigger than anything you can think of....
How's your back hon?
Just know that I am always thinking of you and just because I haven't posted here doesn't mean that I am not reading..

Love ya......

Tio T.

Babsie..oh well, thanks anyway tho!!

Jilly, I mentionned that the only thing keeping me worried is slight loss of bladder control. I feel somewhat better today tho. I want to walk outside but it is brrrrr, cold! As for armies, basically all lifting movements put stress on your back and I want to wait til it does feel mostly better. This whole week it's mostly felt the same without real improvements. It was only an embarrassing 95lbs.

Jstar, I cant fathom eating liquid raw egg whites...ehhh

Tio, I know you haven't forgotten about me, don't you worry! You just worry about being happy and making your family happy and getting better!

Jilly, yeah I suppose. I needed warm food after that bar, I was so cold, that's why I had the oats. I will be switching around my diet a bit soon, to help get rid of some acidity.

Yes, get a DIGITAL scale. Like Jill said. I bought a cheapo one, and found that 6lbs of meat weighed 4lbs on it

I got a 30$ one from Walmart that works well.

EDIT: It was great chatting
