| Welcome back. Your original diary has (as I write) had some 3300 views - why did you decide to start a new one?

Nothing like a bladder infection to piss you off.. I have been two whole great big weeks without Mt "the Devil" Dew.. GOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEE.. So here is my delema.. I play softball three nights a week. Is that enough exercise?? I say no but I can't get my booty up in the AM to do it.. It is hard. I am already up at 5 everyday with out working out. I know when I get home from work I am to tired. So right now it is just the eating good and softball... Plus the taking care of a two year old.

Welcome back! Congrats on your goals!
You asked about supplements--I'm a Life Extension member and I really like their supplements and their non-profit organization which is active in US litigation to protect our rights to buy supplements without a doctor's prescription. Big pharm is always trying to challenge that right and I pray they can't find a way to do it--so I support LE with my supplementation purchases. Vitamin research and Life Enhancement are my secondary sources for supplements. I take LE's multi.
Even if you're tired after work, maybe taking a walk with your 2-yr-old in a stroller a couple evenings a week after dinner would be a nice way to spend time together and get some additional evening energy and exercise all at once.
Much love and luck to you as you get back to it. Don't forget to drink cranberry juice and take vinegar baths for that other issue. 1-2cups vinegar in a warm bath will help regulate your female pH and speed recovery. If you are prone to them it works well to take one of those baths a week and then take them every day during an occurence until the problem resolves itself permanently.
Have a fantastic day!

I really don't know how I will do this week... It was a really hard weekend for me. I had to put my  to sleep. He was my baby. I love him so much. He was 10 years old. So needless to say I haven't really been watching everything I eat.. Thought at work I do good but when I get home I don't care.. It is really hard being in that house right now.
I will be back in full very soon. Right now I am just morning.

I'm SO sorry to hear about your cat... I will keep you in my prayers as you work through the loss of such a special companion. (I'm a huge cat person--They are so wonderful!)
When I get sad news these days I tend to stay away from the kitchen as much as I can. I take long walks and longer baths and spend more time in hypnosis (through cds or mp3s on headphones) relaxing or talking with friends or writing in a journal. When I get really sad news I head to Blockbuster and get one month of unlimited rentals and rent as many comedies as I can stand to watch for the next month. As I recover from the change I quilt, cut lots of veggies in huge frenzies, take pictures of everyone who matters to me, and make homemade pizza dough and huge veggie stir fries--it may sound odd, but somehow it all helps me to adjust to uncomfortable changes. The pain of weight lifting to muscle failure also works well for me during these periods of grieving if you're interested in that sort of thing.
One of my good friends reads lots of books about other people's lives and how they learned to cope through the many huge trials in their lives--she says it helps her to keep things in perspective and to keep her calm and focused on her own goals through the awkward times. Another lady reads those super-steamy romance novels when she hears of tragedy in her life (not for me, but I always privately think it's an interesting approach when she tells me about it). Just some other ideas for you if you wanted some other things to think about trying as you adjust.
Thanks for posting in my diary--I'm sorry I didn't notice anyone had posted to mine until after I wrote my response today. I appreciate your response--organization always looks better on paper . I'm just happy to finally have something to work from now which was my goal.
Much love to you,
~M

Back again..... So here it is two months since I started again. And I have been very very very , did I mention very, bad. But guess not that bad.. When I started posting I was at 247.4 And I am currently at 245.2 So there has been some change. But starting today I am back full time. My goal was to work out two mornings a week. I play softball three nights a week so I figured working out two times would be good. Well I set my alarm clock for 4:30.... Good start... But I didn't get up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So again tomorrow I will try to get up... The alarm clock will stay at 4:30..... I will get up.......
So Down 2.2 ........ goal is 150................. gots a long way to go

Hey, welcome back, at least you are heading in the right direction!  I am terrible at getting up early in the mornings, the alarm will go off and my body will just say "no thanks!" and roll over... and after about 2 hours of wrestling with the snooze button i will get up! I found in the end that I am hopeless at exercising in the morning so have scheduled all my exercise in the afternoon, when im most awake and have the most energy.
some people are great in a morning and others are not. so i guess what im saying, is try not to get too disheartened if you cant get up for exercise sessions at 4:30am and just schedule them for a different time of the day when you know your body will be up for it.
good luck with your weight loss, keep postive and im sure you'll do great

Once again I am back where I started, only this time I have no excuses.. So here it is. I am currently at 249.2 as of the morning of 7/29/07.. I also took measurements but I am not adding those. So I am starting this time with a cleasing.. Two days of fasting. Only drinking juice for three meals and lots of water...
I am on the second day of that and it is kicking my butt. I haven't cheated though. So I am ready this time. No more excuses. I will stand up and take note of my mistakes and move on. If I have a bad day that is ok. I will do better the next. NO MORE WATERFALL EFFECT.

Owch. Backsliding.
It's good your not giving up yet, but don't get despret to lose weight. That's just setting yourself up for failure.
You can do it, Blackwidow! stumbleing is okay, but you just gotta get back up and keep going :3

Hello all. I am back again. This time I need to do it for the life of my knee. Those years of catching fastpitch have caught up to me.
They want a total knee replacement in 5 to 10 years. But Doc says he wouldn't be suprised if I didnt have it in the next two years. I am only 28.
So here I am again . back to try again. This time I am not going to tell myself To be perfect. I am here to get healthy. So I am going to eat better. I am taking a swimming class twice a week. So lets get started.

Welcome back, I am new here but not new to dieting.
Good luck
Sorry about your knee, I hope it gets better soon. Bad knees and bad ankle slows me down sometimes.

Well its day two of no pop! Doing great.. Of all the bad habits that I have pop has always been the worst...
I always wondered why it is when I am in a great place in my life i gain weight.. but when I am not happy I lose.. I would think it is the other way around.. We joke around and say it is happy weight.. But #%@&! it I am going to be thin and happy not fat and happy...
My First goal is to be under 200 by march 26th.. That is a month before my bday! then I want to be under 190 by my 32 bday!
Any support I can get is great.. I love hearing ideas and others stories.. Knowing that Im not the only one that has evil issues with food is always nice...
