no exercise today. Back area is really painful today and I have no idea why. It doesn't feel like muscle pain or bone/joint pain. hard to describe. The pain is constant, took some Ibprufin (sp?) that did not help, then later took tylenol ...no help. Will not exercise today and hopefully whatever it is will be gone tomorrow.

Weight: have not weighed in yet. Busy morning meeting friends for our weekly Sunday Breakfast out. There are six of us that meet every Sunday morning.

Diet: Pasta night went well actually. I ordered a chicken pasta dish and left most of the pasta behind. I picked out the good stuff, the chiccken, artichokes, mushrooms and what little pasta came with digging for the good stuff. We did have wine and I thoroughly enjoyed 2 and a half glasses. Hubby has leftover's for his supper tonight and I will probably have soup from the freezer or tuna from the pantry.

My Dear FS Buddies: Thank you all so much for your continued encouragment. I know some of you threw my own words of advice back at me and I smiled at that and realized how wonderful you all really are. The group support here is so much more important that some of you realize. I appreciate you all so much. Im going to keep plugging away at my diet and exercise. What other option do I have. I refuse to gain any weight back. It will happen, I will lose weight (I hope) and at the very least.. I will NOT Gain anything back. Im making a promise to my FS buddies and myself that I will not gain anything back. My doc told me that is very important. If I can keep from gaining anything back I will be more encouraged to continue trying hard to lose.

BF's Bulemia: I do know that my BF's method of controling her food intake by throwing up is bad. I also know that right about one month before we leave for Mexico with them she starts this up more seriously. She has been coughing and has a sore throat (I know it's from the bulemia).. but she says her doctor said she has a virual infection and she has meds for it (we don't believe her). It is a cover up for her coughing. He husband knows that she throws up after eating and he does not even realize that it is not right. She has told him that if you "over-eat" and are uncomfortable to just throw up and you will feel better, so occassionally after a buffet meal he will follow her advice and tells us that he does feel better when he gets rid of that "over-full" feeling. He advised my hubby and I to do the same but we told him we prefer not to eat to the point of discomfort. BF is not the type of person that I could confront over this, believe me on this. So I just let it go, it's her life.

weight is unchanged. I so want to reach goal by May! Actually we are leaving for our Mexico trip in April and would love to lose another 8 lbs before going. Darn this is so hard. I am sure my age and thyroid are slowing me down but then I think of other's here that are succeeding with the same conditions. It can be so frustrating. What happen's when I get frustrated with no weight loss... I want to turn to food. Food is comfort. I get that "might as well eat what I want if I am not going to lose eating the right stuff attitude". How do I stop thinking that way?

I've been good. Tonight we are going out to Johnny Carino's with friends for the "two for the price of one pasta special". I am going to try to cut back today to make up for pasta tonight. They might have a healthier pasta. Funny that one couple we are going with actually suggested a nice steak house that would keep us all on our diets and my BF that is suppose to be dieting but looks great...changed it to the Pasta restaurant. I wonder if she is trying to keep Kathy and I from succeeding in our diets? Bf uses the eat pasta and throw it up as soon as you get home method. Kathy and I won't do that.

Weight: Unknown. Haven't weighed in yet after return from our Casino trip. I will weigh in tomorrow or when the site tells me to

Diet: Treated myself to a very very small dish of soft ice cream with butterfinger crushed topping when at the buffet. I think a small indulgence once in a while is good for my soul, even if it isn't good on my scales. It was such a small serving too, not like I would have done in the old days.

Health: This morning I realized that I am having trouble again with bone spur's coming through my mouth. Sores are there and I can feel some of the bone fragments trying to break through, so had soft food for lunch and supper because of the pain. Once they break through and come out if feels better. My dentist has given me pills to help with the pain when this happens. He is not sure why it keeps happening to me but thinks it could be related to radon therapy I had to my facial area when I was a child. This time is not as bad as last and Im only going to use the pain pills at night. I wish it would stop happening but I am grateful that so far this time, the fragments are smaller and not hurting as much as the larger fragments did. Hope it is gone in a few days.

DIET: Super Bowl day was a little out of our control. I drank a margarita to be polite (honestly). The hostess insisted I had to try her famous marguerita, but they are so full of sugar. I had one and then switched to wine and had 3 glasses of wine. I ate shrimp mostly so that wasn't too bad but then I did eat all the bad stuff too (in small portions), salami, cheese ball, crackers.. I did not eat chicken wings.

Today I am back on track.

EXERCISE: I had to do all my Super Bowl challenge exercises today. 27 lunges, 81 jumping jacks and 54 push ups. I am wondering if I will feel sore tomorrow. I also did a really good walk on the treadmill. I set the incline to the higest now so I really felt the difference but went a little slower. It felt like more of a workout.

LIFE AND FUN: While at Super Bowl party my hostess thought it would be fun to join me in exercising when the opposing team scored, but they have two of the cutest little dogs you would ever want to see. Seems the two dogs thought us getting down on the floor to exercise was "play time". While I was doing my push-up's I had one dog on each side of me licking the sides of my face and ears each time I moved downward. when we tried jumping jacks they rean around and barked at us like we should pick them up... so I decided I would exercise when I got home this next morning.

SUPERBOWL: Even though my cardinals lost, I still won the bet I made on them because of the seven point spread. I will go collect my money this Sunday. Im okay with the Steeler's winning, I thought they probably were the better and more deserving team anyway and they did set a new record with SIX super bowl wins. I just thought it would have been real nice if the cardinal's not only made it to the super bowl, but got the rings too! It was a nice challenge that ImLuuvd created and I hope Im not sore tomorrow.
