regardless of how many times you step on a scale, its hard to not feel defeated when the numbers go up instead of down… granted .4 pounds is nothing in the grand scheme of things but nonetheless, i feel i worked pretty hard this week (jogging more, drinking my water, etc.)… i read a LOT of weightloss blogs and i would say maybe 99.9% go thru the same thing but when it happens to you, it just feels different…
so my boyfriend’s new dog, rusty, leaped at my cat this morning during a test ‘meet and greet’ and tried to bite him… this left me very upset and crying in the office, where max had ran under the futon to hide… he was fine, of course, but i was a mess - i know it will take time for these guys to get comfortable around each other but its nerve wracking to say the least… he’s a big dog (100+ lbs) and very strong, i just don’t want to feel like i can’t leave the house w/them both there together… all i have is one word - training, training, and training…
i woke up with yet another headache this morning so i opted to try another medication - this time, it was an allergy/sinus pill and low and behold, it worked… the only downfall is, i could so fall asleep at my desk right now… perhaps i need to find a non-drowsy version instead… just had lunch - leftover soup and some vanilla yogurt… since today is one of my higher point days, i had oatment for breakfast w/brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon… then i stopped at starbucks for a nonfat latte on my way to work… it was quite cold so both helped warm me up…
nothing like a good night’s sleep to make you feel better (plus not having max, my cat, wake me up at 5:00am is always a treat!)… i’m still having headache issues, wish i knew what they were caused by - i keep thinking it could be my bottom wisdom teeth since i recall a dull aching headache years ago when my top ones came in… and my bottom teeth have been hurting as well, sort of like when i had braces - interesting i know but hey, this is my life…
i’ve had a headache all day and it doesn’t seem to matter that i’ve taken 4 ibuprofen and 1 naproxen - what is up with that?!?! maybe i’m stressed about counting points and don’t realize it, ha, wouldn’t that be funny… i have to say, doing WW really makes you think about food all the time esp. since you have to keep track of every, single morsel that enters your mouth… maybe that’s why so many of us give-up after a few weeks/months - its nice not having to be responsible for anything… but then again, that’s when things get out of control and you’re back to the beginning… perhaps that’s where the term ‘yo-yo’ came from…
