Went into the City today to get my mail – first time in three weeks. Exercise was walking to the train station and then from my stop to work when I returned.
My thighs and butt are sore from yesterday's workout. Hopefully I can go back to the gym tomorrow.
Decided to stock up on diet pills today. I ended up re-upping my GNC Gold Card and buying Lean System 7 (review) and Rapid Slim SX (review).
On my walk into work I stopped at WalMart for a new Pullman (the same as the one I have now with the "all terrain" wheels). I also bought Lipo 6 Hers (review). I’ll take only one diet pill at a time and decided to start with the Lipo 6. Yes, I’m desperate yet again.
I've taken Lean System 7 before with some success. The other two are ones I've never tried before.

Overtime, Day 1
Calories eaten yesterday: 1281
Fat: 26g (18%)
Carbs: 94g (29%)
Protein: 169g (52%)
Weight this morning: 131.4 (One week ago: 131.8)
Calories burned in exercise today: 88
Went into San Francisco to check my mail. I knew the Shirataki noodles would be there. I even called the company and had my address changed and they are still sending it to my P.O. Box. So I had a heavy package to drag back across the Bay along with all my usual stuff.
I'm working overtime the rest of the week - 3 pm to 3 am today, tomorrow, and Thursday. I'll be getting a ride home of course since public transit doesn't run at that time.
Couldn't find Hydroxycut at WalMart (they were out), so I settled for MetaboLife Ultra, which looks similar and it supposed to both control appetite and boost metabolism.
I brought my Discover card with me today and decided to make some purchases. My GNC Gold Card expires this month, so I went on their Web site and with my discount they have Hydroxycut for about the same price as WalMart. I also decided to stock up on chocolate and banana whey protein powder since I will not be renewing my membership for a while.
While I was at it I checked the Walden Farms Website and found their 2-for-1 offer so I ordered 10 bottles of the Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing (my favorite). So I've run up my Discover card quite a bit now! Yikes!

Here's a couple photos from Ash Wednesday - the ashes, and me with the ashes. Click either photo for a larger size.
My small 4 cup coffee maker died yesterday. I turned it on and it did nothing - the coffee didn't perk and the heating plate doesn't even warm up. Mike bought it for me in 1999, so it lived a good long life of nearly 10 years.
Today I did laundry so I walked down to the laundromat and back, then down toward BART. I had to stop at the laundromat again because I left my coffee cup there this morning. Thankfully the lady who works there had found it and put it in the office so it wouldn't be taken.
I walked as far as the 7-11 by the bridge into Alameda, hopped the bus, stopped at Safeway for some salad, and then came into work. Tomorrow is grocery shopping and some major cooking. I have three days of overtime this coming week and will have no time or energy to do anything.
Saturday is church (of course) but we will be there all day because after church we are watching the movie Fireproof at Brent's house. Then they are having games and probably dinner at some fast food place. :-p Brad and I are at Anita's mercy with his car in the shop so I don't know how much of this I will be subjected to. I don't mind the movie, but games and fast food - bah! I guess I should bring a book to read in case I get stuck for the games.
Sunday? God only knows - literally. It depends on how late I'm out. With the crazy week I will probably skip the gym to prepare food.
The Hydroxycut (official site) I bought yesterday is making me a bit hyped up, but nothing I can't handle. It seemed to help my appetite a bit, but who knows. It's too early to tell really.
If I feel it works I'll let you know. So far the only diet pill that does what's promised is Alli. It promises to block some of the fat you eat, and I can see the results in the toilet. I would recommend it.
I'll be back on Sunday with my weigh-in and what happened over the weekend.

Ash Wednesday
Calories eaten yesterday: 1217
Fat: 30g (22%)

Protein: 152g (51%)
Weight this morning: 131.6 (One week ago: 132.2)

Today is Ash Wednesday so instead of going to the gym I went to the noon chapel service at a local Episcopal church. I need to research and find a church that believes in what the Bible says, but this one will do until then. We had the ashes imposed and took communion. The wine seemed super sweet, not like regular wine at all. At the left is last year's photo of me after getting the ashes. Click it for a larger size.
I walked to BART, and walked from my stop to work. I was so hungry that I stopped at Pac N Save and bought a 12 oz. bag of salad so I can have two salads today. I also picked up some cottage cheese since I always need that.
Then I went to WalMart to spend the rest of my money on the BodyBugg refund. I got the stuff I needed, and splurged a couple of shampoos for red hair, plus picked up more conditioner for red hair.
I'm also desperate again and picked up a bottle of Hydroxycut. I did a little research and found something on WebMD about one of the active ingredient in it - hydroxycitric acid. It doesn't seem to have too much caffeine - about one cup of coffee per pill. I'm desperate to get these last few pounds off!
Tomorrow is payday and I'm doing laundry.

Week 85, Day 5
Calories eaten yesterday: 1325

Laundry today. After that I walked to the bank since Dad's check came, cashed it, then walked to the store and bought some groceries. I found the vital wheat gluten and will hopefully work on the cookies tomorrow. I want to try the recipe the way I wrote it instead of using the special pancake mix that not everyone would have access to. Mostly, I want to see if the wheat gluten works or if I need to use some whole wheat flour.
By the time I did all this I didn't have time to even walk down to the BART station to catch the 50 bus through Alameda to work, so I had to take a bus to BART, and then transfer to the 50. So a lot less walking than I'd hoped for. :-p
Tomorrow I have to hit Costco for Alli and cat litter. The starter pack of Alli at Costco (the only Alli they carry) is 7 cents cheaper per pill than the refill pack at WalMart. I've stopped taking it during the week. My diet is very low in fat and so I need all that I get (and it saves money to take less!), but I still take Alli on Saturdays when I am eating a lot more fat.
So tomorrow is shopping and cooking, and then Saturday after church we'll walk and then relax at home. I plan to hit the gym again on Sunday.

Shopping spree, DSL, the cats, & weekend plans
Calories eaten yesterday: 1374
Fat: 32g (20%)

Protein: 173g (49%)
Weight this morning: 129.2 (One week ago: 130.2)

Well, finally a number under 130 for the first time since my move.
Today was payday so I went on a shopping spree - $158 at Safeway for groceries, including $20 spending cash. I had so many groceries that someone asked if I was having a party. No. It's just a BIG shopping trip. I spent $105 at WalMart, including buying another bottle of Alli. I also bought a "maximum support" knee brace. It doesn't look very comfortable, but we will see. I paid a bunch of bills when I got to work - Direct TV, my cell phone, home phone, and $200 more toward my computer. I owe less than $100 on it now, but it will make the next couple of weeks tight.
I also called Earthlink (my ISP). My one year pre-paid dial-up plan finished out. They dinged me $2 they shouldn't have for the last month, and I got them to reverse that charge. Then I discussed high speed Internet with them. I finally decided on a DSL/home phone combo. They said I could cancel my AT&T home phone service once I get theirs set up. Total will come to about $50 a month for both, plus a one-time $40 activation fee and $20 mailing fee to mail me the kit. This is what I ordered:
Service Plan for Earthlink DSL & Home Phone Service
Basic:
* DSL speed up to 1.5Mbps
* 500 minutes per month
* Activation fee: $39.95
* $49.95/month
I figure that if I can cancel my current home phone service then I can probably afford this. It's a one year contract.
The cats are still going at it and I'm beginning to make sense of it. It always starts with one of the neighborhood cats coming up to the front door. Xena gets territorial and they attack each other through the panes of glass (no actual contact because of the glass). After that Xena will start hissing and swiping at Abby and after a little bit of that, the two get into an actual fight. They did it again last night, but thankfully it was shorter than the night before and no one got hurt.
Step one: tonight when I get home I'll tape paper over the bottom panes of glass so Xena can't see the neighborhood cat. Step two: I occasionally take Xanax (an anti-anxiety medication), and last night I got so desperate to calm Xena down that I cut a 0.5mg Xanax in half, crushed it, and mixed in into a spoonful of wet food. She ate it all, but it didn't seem to help. *sigh* I put some Rescue Remedy in Abby's spoonful. I'll do it again tonight, hopefully before Xena spots the cat outside. Someone also suggested Feliway, but I don't know when I'll have a chance to go to the pet store.
Exercise today was walking to Safeway and back with my rollie cart, and then walking from the BART station to work.
Tomorrow Brad and I will walk in the Lake Chabot area. Saturday we will be at church all day. After church and the potluck we are having a business meeting and then we are probably having a movie night with popcorn and ice cream. I'm bringing some healthy snacks for myself. But there will be no exercise that day. I hate business meetings and I hate movie nights so it will not be a very restful Sabbath for me. I just have to grin and bear it because Brad thinks the movie nights are the greatest thing in the world.

I couldn't bear to weigh myself this morning. Last night's weight was about 150 so I knew I would just be depressed this morning. Maybe I'll weigh myself tomorrow and face the music.
Ate very light yesterday. I wasn't terribly hungry, plus after about three days worth of food I needed to cut way back. I think it would have been better to just fast yesterday, but I am such a food slut and my stomach always wins.
My plan today is to eat fairly light. I'm hoping to come in under 1300 calories even with my glass of wine.
Got to bed about 2:30 a.m. and slept in today. Usually when I sleep in I wake up about 11 a.m. Today when I pried open my eyes it was well past noon! I guess I was tireder than I thought! I did take a Benedryl and 1mg of Xanax before bed to help me sleep.
I guess I slept like a log because (more gross stuff about Alli here) when I got up this morning I found greasy poop all over my underwear, and it had also soaked through to my nightgown (remember Tuesday's binge?). I don't even remember farting or anything last night that could make that happen! It was easy enough to clean myself up, but I usually remember when it happened and this time I don't.
On the apartment, Brad turned in the application for the Fruitvale studio yesterday. I will call the liaison in a couple of days and bug her about it's status. Right now all I can do is wait and hope and scan other option in case this fall through. She said the owner would offer the apartment to the first applicant that passes the credit check so I can only hope there's no one else in front of me.
My Bay To Breakers CD of all my images came today. They were read only so I copied them into another folder on my desktop so I could weed out the photos that didn't include me (there were several photos of other people with my number [???]) and rename the photos with me. I have them up on Flickr now. Here's the entire set with the new photos added.

Sabbath video series up, & more on Alli
Calories eaten yesterday: 1181

Finally a normal gym day! I did upper body today - arms, shoulders, and back - for one hour. My strength wasn't as great as I'd like. I need to keep at this more regularly or my strength suffers. :( After that I ran on the treadmill and did much better. I set it at a 0.5% incline (I usually use no incline), and started at 5.2 mph. However, I was able to get up to 6.0 and sustain it, and get far enough above that for long enough that I was just able to eek out 3 miles in 30 minutes. My final was 3.01 miles in 30 minuntes, 1 second. So I'm counting that as a 10 minute mile because that was my average. I got as high as 7 mph, but couldn't sustain it for very long.
I walked to work from the train station after having my protein and carb snack.
I finally finished my video series on the Sabbath and have those videos uploaded now. Click here to watch them all in order.
I keep forgetting to mention an incident I had with Alli. If bathroom talk offends you, then skip the rest of this post. You have been warned!
It happened a week ago Sunday, after my Saturday/Sunday race binge. I had eaten a lot of fat and taken a lot of Alli to counteract it. I farted at some point and then laid on my bed to watch TV and relax. Brad was with me. When I got up he pointed out that I had a brown stain on my nightshirt. He was right. I had a large brown stain. I changed my underwear and put on a new nightshirt and figured that was it.
I was wrong. When I went back to my bed I found the kitty blanket (to protect my blanket from cat hair) also had a brown stain on it. *sigh* I lifted the kitty blanket and found my white blanket also had the stain. I eventually found that the stain went through the blanket, through the top and bottom sheet, and all the way down to the mattress pad! Eek!

When I went back to my bed I found the kitty blanket (to protect my blanket from cat hair) also had a brown stain on it. *sigh* I lifted the kitty blanket and found my white blanket also had the stain. I eventually found that the stain went through the blanket, through the top and bottom sheet, and all the way down to the mattress pad! Eek!

Week 57, Day 3, and more about Alli
Calories eaten yesterday: 1285
Fat: 19g (13%)
Carbs: 141g (44%)
Protein: 129g (40%)
Weight this morning: 132.8 (One week ago: 133)
Calories burned in exercise today: 458
I've been really hungry lately. I suspect it's because my carbs have been higher since last week. It totally sucks. I nearly caved last week from the sheer hunger and I don't know how I'll make it through this week.
Today was lower body/leg day. I am wiped out from my 12 hour shift yesterday and my workout was a struggle. My diet energy drink didn't even seem to help.
My first exercise (so I would be freshest) was the walking lunges. When I got to the ramp I noticed 8 lb. dumbbells sitting there. I use 5 lb. dumbbells. I took it as a sign and ended up doing 4 sets - 1 with the 8s, 2 with the 5s, and another with the 8s. The 8s were much harder. That extra 6 lbs. makes a difference!
The rest of my leg day was pretty normal and I did a little ab work (plank with leg raise, ball sit-ups, 1 set of men's push-ups).
Ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes. My bouncy iPod music helped me to overcome my tiredness a bit. I ended up running 2.9 miles with a great endorphin rush toward the end. :)
Had my protein and carb snack on the train, and walked the last 1.5 miles to work. I stopped at WalMart for more 100 Calorie Packs. I'm running low on my two favorites.
The next section is about bathroom issues and Alli, so if this offends you, stop reading now. You have been warned!
As you know, I take Alli, especially on Saturdays when I eat more fat. Other than one embarrassing incident where I farted out some grease in my underwear (messy!), I haven't had any accidents. No accidents this past weekend either, but boy have I been pooping out grease! Sunday and Monday, for two days straight, I pooped out grease every single time I used the bathroom.
This isn't a bad thing. I would rather the fat go in the toilet than on my hips, and as long as I'm not having accidents in my underwear it doesn't bother me. I know how Alli works and that it's safe. I wouldn't put a link to the site if I didn't think it was safe.

Nothing much for exercise today. Ran into San Francisco to get my mail. I walked the 1.5 miles to work from the train and that was it.
I stopped at GNC in the City and bought magnesium aspertate. I need the aspertate and only GNC has it. I also bought SlimQuick drink mix since it does help suppress appetite and I have overtime today (see below).
I stopped at McDonald's on my walk from BART to work for a Diet Coke. I finally figured out why I'm such a diet soda addict - it's a comfort food to me. I was feeling tired and just kinda down. I drank that Diet Coke as I walked and I felt better.
I also stopped at Payless shoes for a new pair of running shoes. I found a pair that was normally $28 on sale for $12! Hopefully they will work for me. I did insist on wide width this time. After my last couple of pairs of regular running shoes it's time to only buy what fits my wide feet.
I have overtime today so I skipped breakfast to save the calories for later. I punched in at 3 pm (my usual time) and won't get off work until sometime between midnight and 12:30. I packed my gym bag for tomorrow and generally tried to do everything last night so that I can get to bed quicker tonight.
Back to the gym for lower body work tomorrow.
I think there's not enough fat in my diet. I already eat very low-fat and then I sometimes take the Alli on top of that. I've been getting sick a lot and I think it might be from lack of fat. I didn't get sick over the summer because the weather was warmer, so hopefully things will improve as spring comes. At any rate, I'm going to try to take Alli a bit less, but still keep it around for high-fat items.

I'm feeling much better today, thank goodness.
Had egg whites and Fage yogurt with whey powder for breakfast, then went to the gym. Since I won't get a leg workout this week I did a little bit of everything today - upper body, lower body, and core. Felt pretty good and the time flew by.
Cardio was running on the treadmill at 5.2 mph for 30 minutes. I covered 2.6 miles. Whew! Then I had another serving of Fage yogurt with whey powder and my high-GI carb snack. I hopped the train, then walked to work from my stop - another 30 minutes covering 1.5 miles.
A lady on the NS boards sent me some packaged diet foods so my carbs are going to be high and my protein low for a while. I'll at least make an effort for more protein on gym days.
Skip the next part if you don't like discussion of bodily functions. I finally had a real honest-to-goodness side effect from the Alli today. I was on my way to the gym and had a small fart. Along with the air I got the greasy stuff they talk about all over my undies Thankfully it was just grease and nothing else.
I'd experienced one tiny spot before, but this was enough to make me need to change. I got a late start at the gym because I had to run to the drugstore next door and buy undies and Glad baggies. This only happens for a couple of days after I eat a lot of fat on Saturdays. At any rate, I think I'll keep a clean pair on undies in a Glad bag in my backpack. I'd still rather have the grease in my undies than on my hips, lol!
Ok, enough about that.
Remember to get out and vote tomorrow!

I was up until 2 a.m. working on my testimony video to post on YouTube. I had just started the fourth and final part when my computer crashed. I restarted it, put it in sleep mode, and went to bed. I'll finish another time.
Got up at my usual time today and hit the gym. Yesterday was upper body so today I did lower body and some core work for 1 hour, followed by running on the treadmill for 30 minutes (5 mph so 2.5 miles). Then I had my protein shake and high-GI carb waiting for the train, and walked to work from the station I get off at (30 minute walk). Whew!
I don't have money to buy groceries until payday, so I have to wait until Thursday (payday) to do that, so I have nothing better to do the rest of the week except go to the gym. I'm going to also get Brad to take me shopping on Saturday so I can get some of the heavy stuff (like cat litter) and also hit Trader Joe's for wine and to see if they have the Fage yogurt. I need everything - eggs, frozen dinners, veggies, salad, cottage cheese, fat free cheese, soy burgers, cat litter, wine, Alli, other diet products, etc.
Speaking of Alli, the stuff worked again this weekend. :) I see some of the fat I ate ending up in the toilet instead of on my hips. :) I'm happy with that.
Thankfully this next paycheck is the third this month so rent does not have to come out of it. It will all be spent though. Anything left over after groceries and bills will go toward paying off my computer. I still owe $700-$800 on it.
The tank top and button I ordered from the Walk For Life came today. The button is on my backpack and I'm going to wear the shirt to the gym tomorrow. :)

Went to the gym today and did lower body and some ab work with a little upper body thrown in. For cardio I did the half hour treadmill program from the magazine. I wanted to walk to work from the train station but it's been raining all day. All I could do was stand in the bus shelter and watch the rain come down.
The Alli pills seen to finally be having an effect - or rather, side effects. Sometimes when I use the bathroom now I'll see "pizza grease" type stuff floating on the water in the bowl. I haven't soiled my pants or anything and I mostly view this positively because it's fat that is not being stored as body fat. :)
Food-wise I am back on the straight and narrow after eating everything in sight on Saturday. I need to be really good if I want this weight gone!

Today was grocery day, so no gym. I walked from BART to work and finally stopped at WalMart. I wanted to buy several items including more Alli, but I also caved and bought NV (about $20 at WalMart). I'll start using it after my birthday when I can get back to plan without all the cheat days that the holidays bring.
A word on the SlimQuick drink mix I bought yesterday. Just like the DexaTrim Max2o, it does blunt appetite. I did a quick price comparison and the SlimQuick is cheaper per serving (about $1 per packet). At any rate, I'll attest that I have tried both of these products and they both help blunt hunger.
I also bought some Special K Protein Water drink mix. Unlike the pre-mixed kind this doesn't have any added sugar - 7g carbs and 5g fiber so only 2g net carbs and it has 5g of protein from whey. 30 calories. Pretty cool. About $5.50 at WalMart for 10 packets.
At work things have been stressful. The entire network went down yesterday (yes, the entire network. A few stations are broadcasting the Internet feed and so have programming, but most are on fill music. The RF transmit amplifier broke. All stations not broadcasting the Internet feed are down until Friday. So it's been fun fun. I was so stressed out that I skipped my evening snack so I could have a glass of wine when I got home.

The computer finally came today - five days late. Stupid Fed Ex. The modem and case also came. My sister sent me a couple things for my birthday that came, too - a family calendar or her, Renato, and Marina (along with pics of other family members), and a 2GB memory card for my camera.
I sent Brad to take both the old and new computer to the computer guru and he did. I have a ton of pictures to share, but no way to get them off my camera. :( Once I get the new computer back the hard work begins - setting it up so that I can connect to the Internet. I miss being able to connect at home!
Mom and Dad both sent me money for my birthday. I deposited it in the bank and then paid $300 to Bill Me Later for the computer. I think I owe between $700 and $800 now.
Bought diet pills at 24 Hour Fitness today -well, sorta. I looked at them closer and they say they support liver function to help you burn fat. We'll see if they help at all. A one month supply cost about $22.
Went to the gym today. I did one hour of weights, mostly lower body, but some upper body and core work. For cardio I did 20 minutes on the stairmaster at levels 5-6, then 10 minutes jogging at 4.5+ mph. I wanted to walk to work from BART but it was raining so I took the bus. Couldn't stop at WalMart either because that would mean some walking in the rain. Hopefully the storm will pass by tomorrow.

The computer still hasn't come. It was originally supposed to be here on the 3rd, then it was changed to the 5th, and now it's the 8th. I tell you, Fed Ex totally sucks.
Brad was supposed to drop both computers by at the computer guru today, so I called him and asked if he could drop them tomorrow. He said he won't be home, but someone will be there. He said he'll take the iMac apart right away and then call me before doing the hard drive transfer. *sigh* I ordered the computer on December 27. What is taking Fed Ex so long? Apple sent it out right away. The computer has been in their system this whole time.
Went into the City today. Got my mail, then went to Old Navy and exchanged the pajama pants again. This time I tried on the pants before exchanging. The small is a bit tight everywhere but the waist, but it's the only one that stays on my waist. Well, my hips. These are hip-hugger pajama bottoms. Oh well.
Then I went to the bank to cash the property check - I will put that money toward the computer costs for taking the iMac apart and transferring the hard drive. Then I hit GNC because my Gold Card expires so this was my last chance to buy stuff with my discount. I got SlimQuick drink mix and carb gel packets for the race this May. I also bought vanilla soy milk and Slim Mints.
During my shift I ran next door to Subway to get bottled water. As I paid the guy there mentioned that I hadn't been there in a long time (true), and said I was "too skinny"! I love compliments like that. Me - too skinny! I don't think so, but I never get tired of hearing things like that. :)
I have a serious case of the hungries today that I am fighting off. Blah.

On Thursday I wrote that I cashed in 80 hours of comp and vacation time. Jon said I should have the check Monday or Tuesday, but I had it by Friday and Brad brought it over ($900). I deposited it in the bank before we went walking. We hit the trail in San Leandro by the Bay and walked all the way to the end and back - about 5.6 miles according to WalkerTracker.com (based on the number of steps I took). Most of the walk was in the dark of course, but Brad and I had flashlights.
Saturday before church I paid off Bill Me Later for what I still owed on NutriSystem - about $250. I am no longer in any debt! I have NS paid off, and Mom said she would take what I owed her out of the Christmas money she is sending me, so I will get almost no money from her. It's fair since I do owe her. So that is taken care of too. Yay - no more debt!
Saturday after sunset Brad and I went shopping. First we hit the pet food store and bought two huge bags of cat food plus some cat grass for Abby. Then we went to Southshore Mall in Alameda and hit an office supply store for the lithium batteries my pedometer and food scale take. They had four packages of two batteries each. I bought all four packages.
Then we went to Safeway to get one bottle of dry Riesling wine. Expensive, but I've decided to drink less Riesling and get a good DRY one when I do. Then we went to Trader Joe's and bought a case of "Two Buck Chuck," half Merlot and half Cabernet. $25 with tax. Not bad. I've heard good things about this wine, so we will see.
Then we went over to Mervyn's to look for slippers (mine are falling apart) and a new bra. I ended up buying two pairs of slippers since they were on sale, and after looking around the bra department I found two bras that worked. One was the correct style and I could fit a medium! The other will work, but does kind of squish my boobs together.
Then we went to Applebee's for drinks. I had three glasses of wine, and Brad had two beers. I paid for one of his beers since I felt rich. Then we went home where I had a light beer and made some dinner for Brad and I. After dinner I totally pigged out on 100 Calorie Packs (two) and a ton of Special K Protein Plus. Over the course of yesterday I managed to go through an entire liter of the Soy Slender soy milk. I have got to get this under control. It's terrible.
Today I bought myself a "Look Better In the Buff" gift set for myself ($20), paid some bills, and bought a Christmas gift for Eleanor off Amazon. We talked last week and she said she wanted this specific thing (an anti-Bush calendar - something I would never buy!). The entire $900 is now gone. I can't believe it! But I should be receiving a couple checks soon for a total of about $400 so I will have enough money to get me through until my next paycheck. We'll also be receiving three paychecks in January because of the way the pay cycles fall.
I bought more Alli pills on Thursday from WalMart, and made a decision about Alli. I asked Dr. Eades about it on his blog. If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you'll see our exchange. Since I am not getting side effects, I decided to take Alli less during the week, but dramatically increase the dose on Saturdays when I am eating a lot of fat.
The results from this week: I skipped my magnesium dose on Friday and Saturday night to rule that out as a factor. I took five Alli pills and have my usual pig out on peanuts and Cheese-It's. Yesterday evening and today I had very sift stools and this time I know it wasn't the magnesium. So I guess that's the "treatment effects" I get. I also had some cramping so I won't be taking that many again. The only reason I showed a loss on the scale this morning is because I spent so much time in the bathroom last night and this morning (and since then!).

Trolls, and friends
Calories eaten yesterday: 1284
Fat: 41g (29%)
Carbs: 89g (28%)
Protein: 133g (42%)
Weight this morning: 131.4 (One week ago: 131.8)
Calories burned in exercise today: 257
A new low! Woohoo! My previous low was 131.6. :) I hope it doesn't bounce up tomorrow.
I am so done with the Alli message boards. They are heavily moderated to the point of silliness. I had one message rejected twice - first for "personal information" (my first name and Web site URL). So I took out my name and the URL and tried to repost it. This time it was rejected for breaking the group rules. WTF?!? All I tried to post was my personal experience on a lower-carb diet, but hey - why let the truth stand in the way of a good lie - the lies about diet we have been told all our lives. The mods there are so typical of many people - give them a little power and it goes to their heads. *sigh* Some people's children. No wonder America is the fattest country on earth.
It's best to try to lose weight via low-fat and not break our root addiction. After all - that would make sense. We are a nation of carb addicts who have been brainwashed that we aren't really addicted, that the foods we crave are healthy. Um...no. Otherwise we wouldn't be fat. Duh!
One of my problems with NutriSystem is that it doesn't encourage people to break their addictions to the food that made them fat. It just encourages them to eat "healthy" carbs and includes desserts that are full of sugar. Many even have high fructose corn syrup! How is that going to help them keep the weight off when they are still addicted?
I've also had recent trouble on the Yahoo Seventh Day Baptist group I moderate. We've had a particularly annoying troll who finally left and then came back and started spamming the group again. I finally banned him but not before he has mined a bunch of members' e-mail addresses. After I banned him I got a couple e-mails from him, which I ignored. He wants to save me from Christianity. Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with Jesus, thanks. :)
A friend from Southern California is going to be in town this weekend for a salsa dancing conference. We hope to get together while he is here either Friday or (more likely) Saturday night. Saturday he is going out to dinner with some of his church friend and I (and Brad) are invited.
He's from the United Church of God, so while I don't know if he is saved or not, I do not doubt his love for God. The United Church of God is an offshoot of the Worldwide Church of God, and is filed under the WCG at this link (scroll down past the ads). The link includes information on the WCG and the splinter groups.
I'll be back Sunday with a full report and any photos I take, plus my weigh-in. Have a good weekend everyone!

Crap. How did I gain a pound?!? Gotta get serious and eat less. I swear I have no metabolism. It was probably the Dreamfield's pasta at lunch and way too much wine (four glasses total all day). I also ate three 100 Calorie Packs yesterday - way too many high-GI carbs.
Brad and I were going to go hiking in Tilden Park on Friday, but his relief was an hour late showing up. By that time I had already decided to walk the lake on my own since that's easily accessible. I was on my way there when Brad called and said his relief had showed up so we could go walking. I met him at my health club by the lake and then we walked around the lake twice (6 miles). We spent the evening together and then he left for his prayer retreat.
I spent Saturday afternoon alone and decided to take myself out to dinner. I went out to Applebees, but I was good - I had a low-fat and low-carb dinner. Well, okay, I had way too much wine, no less than three glasses. I was having such a good time that I didn't want it to end.
My entree was the Weight Watchers steak and shrimp skewers, and I passed on the Teriaki sauce and subbed the rice for extra broccoli. Diet Pepsi and Merlot to drink. No dessert. I'll post the photo soon but I lightened it a bit too much and need to darken it a little before I post it. If I'm going to gain anyway I might as well have had the quesadilla burger! I skewers were really good and very healthy. I think I will have to have that again.
I took the Alli again on Saturday with the peanuts and Cheese-It's. No side effects and hardly any intestinal rumbling. I really wonder if it's blocking anything at all.
Here's some photos I took this weekend. Click any of them to enlarge and get the story behind them.

Yay! Back to my goal weight again! I didn't think I'd make it! 5.4 pounds up last week, and 5.4 down this week.
Well, I repeated the Alli experiment this Saturday. I took two capsules of it (a prescription strength dose) right before Sabbath School and then ate two mini cups of peanuts and a mini cup of Cheese-It's, both foods high in fat.
The only side effects (and who knows if they were from the Alli?) were a feeling of my intestines rumbling inside me. It didn't hurt or anything; it was just an odd feeling. I also had soft stools, but that could be due to a couple of other factors - the South Beach meal bar I ate yesterday full of malitol, and/or the magnesium I take every day.
So even with double the dose and eating a bunch of fat I still didn't get any of those nasty side effects that get talked about so much. I'll repeat the test again next week, not have a South Beach bar, and not take my magnesium Friday or Saturday night. Is this stuff even blocking anything?
Had a pretty good time this weekend. It wasn't raining when Brad and I began hiking, so we did Huckleberry Park. It began raining just as we finished. We had only hiked for 1 1/4 hours, so we headed over to the East Ridge Trail and just walked along it from the top. It kept starting and stopping light rain so I wore my big yellow raincoat to keep dry. Then we headed home and traded back rubs.
Saturday after church I was feeling guilty for eating so much for breakfast and snack time, so after we got back I suggested we walk to Quinn's Lighthouse and see if it really is the 1.5 miles Mapquest claims, and to see how long it would take to walk it. It was about 30 minutes each way, so we got an hour of walking in on my day off. :)
Today I made it to the gym. I felt kind of spacey, but my Diet Rock Star energy drink took care of that problem. :) I accidentally packed my skinny jeans in my gym bag. It was a bit of a struggle to get them on, but I am wearing them!
Here's the photos I took over the weekend. Click any of them to enlarge.
