It's been a while, I know. Some of you may remember I left for a while because I was pregnant. My daughter, Nina Rose was born on March 6th 2007, at 3:11am via c-section. She weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 18 1/2 inches klong at birth. She is absolutly beautiful. I am still recovering and after my 6 week check up I am having a surgery to remove my thyriod, it is cancerous. I am also have hypothyroidism and am on meds for it, which have caused me to lose all of my 27 pregnancy pounds. I cant wait to go back to the gym and work off this jiggly tummy. Thats about it for me. I should be keeping track of what I eat, but I havent wanted to eat much, and I try to eat as healthy as possible. As soon as I am able I am going back to Weight Watchers. Anyways I should be going to bed, sleep when the baby sleeps! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:8433 2006-07-26T15:40:14Z 2006-07-26T15:40:14Z Hello everyone! I got a friendly little nudge so I thought I would come by and let everyone know how I am doing. <br /><br />My pregnancy is progressing nicely. I am 9 weeks 3 days along. I have been sick so the doctor had to give me dramamine and Vitamin B6 and now I feel much better. I lost a few pounds. It seems to be easier to lose the weight while pregnant, and if I werent pregnant I would be enjoying the weight lose. I try to eat healthy for the baby, but usually I eat what ever taste good. Nothing much else is going on. I just woke up like an hour ago so Im gonna go take a shower. My husband and I are looking at houses today since our appartment is WAY too small for us now that we have a new little person on the way. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:8092 2006-06-22T21:37:35Z 2006-06-22T21:37:35Z Well everyone, I have come back. I havent been around for a while and there is now good reason. I just found out that I am pregnant and expecting a child in February, so I am about 5 weeks 5 days along. So I wonbt be updating to this journal for a while. I wish you all the best of luck in your weight lose. SEE YOU IN 8 MONTHS OR SO! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:7767 2006-06-02T02:02:31Z 2006-06-02T02:02:31Z Okay so I have neglected my food journal for a while. Rest asure my friends I HAVE been keeping a food journal on SparkPeople.com. Unfortunatly I have been sabotaging myself AGAIN. I was down to 159 for like 2 days, said "OO I can cheat its okay" and Im back up to 162. YUCK. So Ive been working out more. Today I jumped on the treadmil for 30 minutes, the exercise bike for 10 and did 9 different strenght exersices. I also drank 9 glasses of water and have eaten 1390 calories!! So Im doing pretty good today. Yesterday I rode the exercise bike for 10 minutes, treadmil for 30, ate 1434 calories and drank 8 glasses of water. Im trying to get back on track. I already have lunch and breakfast planned for tomorrow, and made too! Anyway I am off to bed.<br /><br />Oh and on the Thyroid note, its not the T4 cells its something else but they are not sure so Im getting it ultra sound on it soon. So Ill keep you updated! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:7426 2006-05-26T02:32:11Z 2006-05-26T02:32:11Z So yesterday the Doctor called me back and told me that I have low T4 cells, my thyroid is abnormal and I have to call my primary care Doctor and have him tell me what I should do. This was all left as a message for me so I want able to ask her questions. What does low T4 cells me? Is that why I am heavy, or is it keeping me from being REALLY huge, as my father said. But I think he was being dumb. <br /><br />I think Im okay with having this problem. Now I know that I wasnt doing anything wrong, I really was trying and that all this weight is not because Im lazy or unmotivated. It maybe a little, but maybe once I go on the meds, if I go on meds, everything will even on out. Of course I was so excited about that possibility I grabbed candy yesterday and told my best friend "Its okay I can have it, I have a thyroid problem." Yeah it didnt work.<br /><br />I worked out on the bike for 30 minutes, and ate 1400 calories today. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:7335 2006-05-24T15:46:12Z 2006-05-24T15:46:12Z So I went and got an annual physical today. My husband is in the Navy so I FINALLY broke down and went to the Doctor on base. She checked my thyroid and aparently its a bit large so I had to have blood taken. That was not fun. My husband says I made a fool of myself, crying and whimpering. It hurt and I was not happy about it. But I have good vains. So the thyroid might explain why I have always had a weight issue. I dont eat that badly and I exercise alot. But I am not going to the gym today, my arm is on fire. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:7120 2006-05-24T01:35:41Z 2006-05-24T01:35:41Z Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary. I tried to be good. And I only went over my calories by 13. So I am happy about that! At least I think its only 13, I dont always measure right. But I threw out 1/2 of a candy bar today. I didnt need/want the rest of it. <br /><br />I unfortunatly have fallen into a rut latly. After seeing the 159 on the scale I thought, hey lets eat what we awant for a while, it wont hurt. I am back up to 162. For two weeks I have been trying to be good, thats how long it has been since 159, but I cant seem to get my snacking under control I buy low fat foods and veggies and fruit, but then I eat more then I should of them. Or I make/ buy things for my husband, like the Chocolate pie thats in the frigde that I had a slice of and he hasnt. We had ribs for our anniversary because he likes ribs. I ate more than he did. I dont know why. Half the time Im not even hungry. I just need the taste.<br /><br />So I jumped on the exercise bike today and did that for 30 minutes. And I did weights and crunches. And drank NINE glasses of water.<br /><br />GAH Weight issues suck! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:6900 2006-05-16T22:21:15Z 2006-05-16T22:21:15Z I have been sooo bad about updating my food intake here.

I got the Cyclone Pasta chicken. But I only ate a tiny portion of it before I was full. And I got a side order of brocolli with it which is what I filled up on, and the lettuce from joe's salad. And I only ate two small peices of bread. So here is my food break down for today for everyones veiwing pleasure.

So I set up and account and enter the food I eat into the food tracker and it tells me how many calories I have eaten for the day. I DONT HAVE TO DO ANY MATH!! Which soooo rocks my socks! The set a goal of eating 1200-1550 calories everyday. I have eaten 1,103 calories so far today.

I am so pleased with myself. I didnt make it to the gym so I am going to ride the exercise bike for 1/2 hour and lift some weights. I have also drank 5 of the 8 recommened glasses of water so I need to get cracking on that. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:2810 2006-04-24T23:56:42Z 2006-04-24T23:56:42Z Food intake today<br />Breakfast:<br />V8-70 calories<br />1 lindor chocolate-50 calories<br />Lunch <br />1 foot long sub with light mayo-750<br />4 cookies-120<br />carrots-20<br />Dinner<br />1/2 peice of chicken-95<br />past, 2 oz-200<br />sauce-30<br />ice cream-150<br />cheese, grated parm-20<br />TOTAL: 1500 CALORIES<br /><br />And then after all that I ate<br />girls scout cookies-120 calories<br />cheese-80<br /><br />So for the day I ate 1700 calories.<br /><br />I went to SparkPeople and set up a free acount. If I lose 2 pounds every week I'll be down to 125 by September of this year. I dont know if its going to happen. But I need to work out a HELL of alot more. And get rid of these cookies. But I'm still hungry and out of calories. At least I THINK I am still hungry. I may just be bored. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow, picking up TONS of healthy foods. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:food_freak81:2310 2006-04-24T17:10:21Z 2006-04-24T17:10:21Z I got hungry again, so I ate the other half of my Subway sub. I have girl scout cookies in the house which were given to me by the group I worked with on Saturday night. I ate some of the yesterday. Okay so I ate almost a whole sleave if you count all the ones I ate, but today I am REFUSING to give in to the temptation. WhenI think Im hungry I am first going to drink some water see if that helps, and then I am going to eat something healthy, like carrots or an apple. I still need to figure out how many calories there were in my Subway grinder.
