Feeling like throwing up in the morning

Monday, June 04, 2012

8:40am

I feel like I'm going to throw up this morning and I'm not sure what it is. I don't feel like it's a cold or a symptom of my T.O.M because I'm not sick and I finished my T.O.M over the weekend. I haven't ate yet. Will be in an hour or so. Just have to wait until dad gets ready for the day. I would walk up there but it would make everything worse.

Went to my stepcousin's house yesterday. Thought that we were going to take dad's brother over to his house to pick up a few things but the brother didn't feel like going anywhere. His head was spinning like crazy. They say it's ann inner ear thing but I think that it's worse. And I gave my step cousin's daughter (the one that I've been talking about on here) an afghan in orange, white and soft navy. She loved it and so did everyone else.

I only got one walk in with the dog because I thought that we were going to get rain by the time we could get a 2nd one in. Fell asleep in my dad's recliner and somehow the dark clouds that I saw on the walk blew over and didn't get any rain at all.

9:12am

I'm starting to feel a little better but not 100% better yet. I'm still waiting to get in where dad's at first to see how I feel. Just wish that we had more than one bathroom in this house.

I'm going to try to take the dog for another walk this afternoon. We'll see how the weather is laer and how I feel.

2:11pm

We went to get parts for the garage here in town and went to Target. We each took a lap around the main aisle at Target. I'm surprised that I didn't throw up with the length of time I was gone. I didn't feel any better after I ate breakfast or after a snack. I hope that I start feeling better soon. Hopefully before supper.

Still can't take the dog for a walk. It's been raining off and on all day. I might do a workout DVD here in a bi depending on how awake and how my stomach feels.

8: 43pm

Well, I finally got the 2nd walk in with the dog. The weather got nice enough for me to do that. I am feeling beter. But I'm having a headache that can't decide if it wants to stay or go.

My sister-in-law in Minnesota is closing her Kumon center (kind of like Sylvan) at the end of the month and is doing another job. She will be working at a Country Inn and Suites in the same town as her Kumon center is.

My grandniece is finally above her birth weight now. She now weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces. But I'm not sure how many inches she is now. Never asked.

I'm hoping to break my plateau soon. I'm sick and tired of being stuck at a certain weight. I have 19 more pounds to go until I can get off this one medicine my regular doctor has me on for my blood pressure. I'm at 199 pounds and my regular doctor wants me to be at 180 pounds. I have 4 months and a week until I can see the doctor again so I better get a move on.

9:12pm

Today has felt like a long day with the way the weather has been today. I'm hoping that tomorrowisn't the same way. Plus the day has felt blah.

Got a question. Is it just me or has anyone has joint pain when they lose weight? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm having more joint pain now than I did before I started losing weight.

I'm hoping later on this year we go back up to Minnsota to visit family. Can't afford to do it next month. Oh well.

9:38pm

I'm so bloated no thanks to the weather. But I took something for it a while ago. I'm glad that I did because I'm starting to get a headache. But it's a mild kind of headache.

I turned off the air conditioner and opened my window in my room. It's going to be cool enough to do that.

Wish that I could get dad to walk with me and the dog when I take her for walks. At least it'll help with the right knee loosening up. The right knee has been replaced in October 2010 and it's stainless steel. Instead of doing all the walking at Target, he can go with me and the dog.

I'm surprised that my cat didn't com running back here after I sneezed. He did that yesterday when I sneezed. I have no idea where he's at right now. One of the times he tried to attack me.

Funny you mentioned your cat running up to you when you sneezed. We had 3 cats over the years and they ALL did that too - when I or someone in the house would start sneezing, he'd get right up in your face!! I don't know why they do that. I always thought ours were weird, but now that I see others do that too - guess mine weren't so crazy... #2 daughter used to sneeze several times in a row and that cat would sit about 2" from her face until she was done, then the cat would go off to do his thing......... Hope you're feeling better now. Report Inappropriate Comment

Hope you felt better. You're right, I would have expected the joint pain prior to losing the weight instead of the opposite way around. that's interesting that your dr. gave you a specific weight at which you could get off your meds.... I should ask my dr. that might be more motivational to me. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm so sorry that you didn't feel well today! I used to get a little nauseous when I would take my vitamins first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and always take them with a little food now. Not sure if that could be your problem, but I've met a lot of people whose meds or vitamins were making them sick on an empty stomach. I sincerely hope that you're doing better tonight.

T.O.M is gone and energy is back

Saturday, June 02, 2012

9:24pm

I guess that my T.O.M is the reason why I did't have any energy because I'm full of energy and it's getting close to bedtime. I should have known that it was my T.O.M was the cause of my loss of energy. I just ended it today. I'm full of energy like I said but I'm starting to get tired.

I took the dog for 3 walks today. Two this morning and one this evening after I had supper. Here lately she's not been wanting to go for the 3 or more walks . She would start good but after a while, she would just sit down in the grass. Dad thought it was due to the fleas that are bothering her but I told him that she wasn't biting them. She's been that way for a little over a week.

I'm still at 199 pounds and wishing that I was lower. I hope that one of these days I will get that low. I'm so wanting to be lower than 199.

Wanting to sleep

Friday, June 01, 2012

9:28pm

I am so ready for bed. Had a long day of running errands with dad. And 3 walks with the dog even though the dog acted like she didn't want to go for the walk. I am thinking of going to bed early tonight so I can get some sleep.

Still at 199 pounds. Hoping to break the plateau soon but I'll let my body decide on when to break the plateau. I'm still trying to adjust on certain things. I hope that some of it works. Crossing my fingers.

I'm so glad that my T.O.M is almost over with. I can feel normal when it's over with and get more of my energy back and quit having my strange cravings. Here lately it's been pasta and I don't usually crave pasta that much. Tonight I had lasagna. It took care of the pasta craving but it wasn't the greatest. Not enough sauce and cold in some spots. Didn't feel like complaining about it. I was hungry. Should of asked for no garlic bread. Tasted burned even though it wasn't. Took me a while to get the flavor down out of my mouth.

  

Energy is almost back

Thursday, May 31, 2012

My energy is almost back. It's my T.O.M is the main reason for me not having enough energy. The only way that I can REALLY get my energy back is to take naps more often than usual. Coming and going to Galesburg today helped me in getting most of it back. I can get back more tomorrow when we go up. I'm tired now but this time its getting closer to bedtime than when it was yesterday when I really felt tired.

Usually when I drink a lot of water or do a lot of walking, wouldn't get as tired as I was yesterday. I could go for 12 walks and drink 24 glasses of water and still I wouldn't be tired. I think that the loss of energy was from my T.O.M since it usually happens when I'm on it. I should be getting over it before the weekend and I can feel normal again.

I'm still at 199 pounds. I am hoping before the end of June I can be down to closer to where my regular doctor wants me to be to get off of the beta blocker that he has me on for my blood pressure.

I cannot believe that my grandniece is 24 days old. Well my youngest nephew (my grandniece's uncle and brother to her mommy) will be 13 years old a week from today. YIKES. He's going to be a teenager.

Glad you are getting your energy back! Maybe doing more soy before your TOM will help? I eat a ton of soy products so don't really notice but I have a friend that swears loading up on soy the week before keeps her feeling great. Just an idea. Kitty Report Inappropriate Comment

Yikes indeed for your nephew becoming a teenager. I don't have any of my own, but I hear from people who have them that energy is a must! Let alone the 24 day old niece. It's great that you're staying in one-derland and will probably be even further into it after your T.O.M. is over. Hope you get rested up. Lynn Report Inappropriate Comment

Who stole my energy?

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

10:01pm

Who stole my energy? Must be my T.O.M because it wakes me up at 5:30am and now I am tired. So tired that I want to go to bed right now. I didn't get a nap in today when I wanted. I did have an energy boost when we we were at my cousin's house. He's the one with the 4 adopted kids. I even tried the Crystal Light that is suppose to be for energy. It worked when I first started getting them. I haven't had any since yesterday and it started taking affect long before I finished them. I feel like I took a 5 hour walk all at once. I'm that tired. I think tha I have it the wall. Hurry up T.O.M and go away.

I'm still at 199 pounds. I am hoping that I get even lower here soon so I can start looking for more clothes. Haven't measured myself since the beginning of the month. Im not going to do it tonight since I'm so tired. I am hoping that the inches show what my weight does. Cross your fingers that it does.

Your measurement will be great! You've been working quite hard. It's showing on the scale. Keep eating health (and enough calories) and your energy level should return. Mine tends to fall of when I'm not eating and/or sleeping enough. So watch that and you'll be fine. Kitty Report Inappropriate Comment

From the sounds of all the walking you've been doing, you may have used up your supply!! A good sleep will probably restore you. I too have been waking up with the sun at 5:30, I've gotta get some darker curtains.... Report Inappropriate Comment

I eat 3 or 4 dates and drink a glass of water for instant energy and sweet satisfaction. If I stuff them with a pecan its like I am eating pecan pie! Fruit also does a good job jumping your energy level. Anything natural. Report Inappropriate Comment
