Fri



Yikes could not sleep but will try again now! Was so tired last night went to sleep at 9.30 though so hope I can go back to sleep and get up at 6 AM no problem, was hoping for 8 hours sleep! Busy day and clients do not need me to be comatose!! Got some sleep but feeling tired and need to make sure I get enough rest and do not get run down again with my health issues.

Had great fun at Great Wolf Lodge and just got home, she had a really nice time. Hectic upon return now though but got everything unpacked and settled and ready to leave at 7 AM tomorrow for DD's school and I have two house-calls tomorrow which is good once I get organized!! Full wolf moon the morning of her birthday

Wed



Yesterday worked in the morning, and then went to the acupuncture, still treating the liver though it does influence everything else too. Overall am feeling much better, he says the liver is 60% better since last time. Then went to the bookstore for DD to buy a book, and went around the little Norwegian town, had a slice of pizza for lunch and a salad for me, then she decorated some pottery in a pottery there, which we will collect next week, then she went to the piano lesson. Today DD is seven and we are going to Great Wolf Lodge which is a kind of theme park here and other places too. Full Wolf Moon today too!

Sounds like a wonderful day! There's a Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, a 4 hr drive from here. Hubby's not a big water park kind of guy, which is disappointing to Jr & I b/c we are. hugs to DD! Report Inappropriate Comment

Day 1211

Tues



Could not sleep as my calves ached for some strange reason maybe from my uphill hikes last week! Nothing a hot bath will not cure I am sure! Back to the weight loss, as I am sure people think I just eat too many calories and am off, but I know I am not because I have tracked for 3.5 years now and everything is the same, and I even weigh and measure foods to check I am accurate, but here is the thing - I only lose weight on the 3rd week of my monthly cycle! So I know it has to be hormonal, and my habits and everything are consistent but that week I lose, the other three I don't! I think it is due to estrogen dominance and estrogen is waning then so I lose, I don't think it is just water though, it seems to be a true weight loss which though small I maintain when I have lost it. Anyhow I am hopeful the chinese herbs will help since I do think it is a physiological reason why I am not losing except that week when I am consistent. Well those are my rambling thoughts but they do make sense! I will see if he is ready to move onto this, when I see the acupuncturist today, he has been treating my heart, and my liver so far which makes sense to do first.

I hope you can get everything figured out, Anna. Hormones, they're such fun, aren't they? Report Inappropriate Comment

My dr. wants me to go to see an acupuncturist. I'm a lil' shy of needles. How long have you been going? Does it hurt alot? I don't know anyone who goes to one to ask ??s to. The dr. wants me to for my lower back and knee pain....Karen Report Inappropriate Comment

that's what I was doing for 3&1/2 yrs. My only problem was I was also gaining during that time. Good for U being able to maintain. Once I got my hormones regulated, I can tell the weight can & will come back off, I just haven't been working as hard on it. Losing my friend last Sept, the wrist issue starting in Oct, then the holidays, I let all that get the best of me. But it's all good. I'm down 2day even with my cold, so I know the hormones are working when I allow them to & I'm now doing that. good luck @ the acupuncturist. The chiropractor did his laser therapy instead of talking about seeing the acupuncturist. I was pretty disappointed in that. Suppose to see him again 2morrow, but we are to get another 4"-6" of snow starting overnight all thru 2morrow, & with my cold, not feeling up to fighting the bad weather in the city. I know U are doing all U can. hugs Report Inappropriate Comment

Day 1210

Mon



Busy day today and at least I have more work this week, and hope it continues as I have got behind with everything. Need to get the taxes done and get organized with things. 153.2 today and have definitely plateaued again. It gets frustrating and despite the well-meaning advice I DO know what to do and I do it and vary it and nothing changes. Just keeping plugging away at 1300-1500 calories and will see what happens.

I hear ya dear! Keep doing what U are doing, @ least U know U are healthy. It must be frustrating to be SO CLOSE to your goal weight, & stay stuck where U are. Your body loves U for the healthy things U do for it, tho. hugs, Report Inappropriate Comment
