Yay! A new low for me today! :o) I've never weighed this little my whole adult life! I can also get into those Calvin Klein jeans shorts and I have never been able to wear them. And they fit! I bought them without trying them on, only to discover that they were really tiny size 8s. Last summer (and the summer before) they were skin tight. Now I can wear them! I'll get a picture.
I always gain at least six pounds over the weekend (Friday/Saturday), so we will see what Sunday brings.
Last night I had the strangest nightmare about a group of people (me among them) starving and having to kill and eat Abby. I didn't want to do it, but in the dream I knew it had to be done so I allowed it, all the while wanting to rescue her. We put her in a cage. Somehow this was the beginning of death for her, and that when the dream ended.

A new low for a Wednesday at least. :) My low weight to beat is 134.8, which I hit last Friday. Another mini goal of mine is to see anything under 140 when I weigh right before bed.
Went to the gym today. My right shoulder is really hurting, so I did mostly legs and core work.
Brad says he has a wedding to go to Saturday evening, so he won't be coming over until really late. Oh well. Some alone time with myself will be good. :)

Not quite to my goal weight again. Hopefully tomorrow. At least I am under 140, and it's a new low for a Tuesday.
Took the medium 24 Hour shirt I got yesterday to an alteration place. They quoted me $20 to fix it and it will be ready on Friday. I'm hoping that by taking the sleeves off and turning it into a tank top that it will be more comfy.
Bought some basic groceries. I can't afford it, but I have to eat. I even bought a large bag of baby carrots and then packaged them into 4 oz. snack baggies. I love my digital food scale!
Brad's new laptop computer has a DVD feature on it! I told him to bring it over Saturday afternoon and we would make popcorn and watch the creation videos I bought that I've never been able to see because my DVD player doesn't work.

Well, back into the 130s again at least. :)
Had my last personal training session today. We did core work - abs and back. Jason had me doing the bench and crunch machines in the ab section, then we went into the aerobics room and did some V sits and plank variations, such as lifting one leg while doing the plank, or putting your arms or feet on a ball. He said the smaller the ball, the less surface area it had and the harder the exercise would be. With my arms he had me on a 45cm ball (I think - it was yellow), but when we did feet he had me on a 55cm ball. Another core exercise is a variation of the reverse crunch. You do the reverse crunch, but then thrust your legs straight up, lifting your middle back off the floor. Do this slowly (no bouncing!) with your legs straight up (not at an angle) and you will feel the stress in your abs.
For back work we did the superman thing where you raise your arms and legs like you're flying. Also T's and Y's where your put your arms out to the side or out to the side and slightly up, and then just raise your front half off the ground. On the T's use your hands to give a "thumbs up" to keep them positioned right, and on the Y's try to turn your palms upward when you lift your body. I had a lot of trouble with the Y's. I need to work on these because my back needs a lot of work.
I asked for the t-shirt I was supposed to get with the program. I tried on the woman's medium, but it was tight under the arms. The large was a little tight, but didn't show off my figure. The men's medium just hung off me (he couldn't find a men's small). He finally sent me away with both the woman's medium and large and told me to stretch the arms of the medium to make it fit better. Looking at the cut of the shirt, if worse comes to worse, I could probably have it altered into a tank top.
He said he wanted to see me in a week or two for an evaluation, weigh and measure, body fat, etc. I set up an appointment for next Thursday morning. I hope the news is all good!
I'm really glad I did this. I have so many more ideas for exercises now. :)
The one thing he said that got to me was that I'm not eating enough. He wants me eating 15-1600 calories a day, not the 1300 a day I said I ate. That might be maintenance for me, but I can't eat that and lose weight! He also suggested that I'm eating too much protein, but I said I like protein. I'm doing a lower carb diet and adding fat doesn't satisfy me and runs the calories up too fast. Protein has the same calories that carbs do, so it's easiest for me to add protein. I did say that most of my protein was from real food; I only have a protein shake on days I work out.
In other news, my Earthlink prepayment is due. Just what I need when money is already tight is another $240 out the door. I pay a year in advance and get $2 off per month by doing that. That works out to $24 a year, which is like getting over one month free. I got the June check from Dad and that helped cover it, but the rest of the money came from grocery money. I'll buy groceries tomorrow, but only what I need to get through the week - no extras. I'll get fresh veggies, cottage cheese, and the ingredients for the vegetable casserole that I'll make for Brad and I this weekend. Probably some berries, too.
I can't wait to get out from under this NutriSystem debt. It has really run my food bill up trying to afford the NS food and also buy all the add-ins. Just one more order and that will be it for me. (I have a lot of coupons so my order will only be around $200 instead of $300.)

I feel like the obese chihuahua above - fat and bloated. A 0.8 pound loss. Bah. And I'm still in the 140s. *sigh*
On the positive side I was at or below goal for four whole days last week - Wednesday-Saturday, and in the 130s for six straight days. Those are very encouraging numbers.
Went walking with Brad and Abraham on Friday. Abe is obese (6'6" and 300 lbs.) and out of shape. We practically had to drag him just to get him around the lake once (3 miles, totally flat). He opted to stay in the car while Brad and I went around again. He was asleep when we got back.
Here's the photos I took during our walk. Click the thumbnails to enlarge.
Geese and goslings
After this Brad dropped me off and I had a quiet evening at home. Brad said that Abe had a party to go to Saturday, so he would be over about 4:30. I made the cauliflower potatoes so all I'd have to do Saturday is pop it in the oven.
Saturday I ordered Pay Per View before leaving for church. I haven't done PPV in a while and wanted to see a movie that afternoon. I chose Night At the Museum. It's PG and on a scale of 1 to 4 stars I'd give it 2 1/2. An okay, fun movie, but it's not going to win any awards. :) We had popcorn and then after the movie we had dinner and dessert (the Carb Smart ice cream with all sorts of yummy (yet diet) toppings.
I wanted to go to Starbucks, but when we got out to Brad's car he'd left the lights on and the battery was totally dead - it just clicked. We got a jump from the building manager and we were off. I got a small nonfat sugar-free caramel latte. Brad got the same, only a bigger size.

What Time of Day Are You?
| You Are Midnight |
 You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. |

Not just a new low for a Thursday, but a new low period! :) Woohoo! So far I've been at or below goal two days this week - same as the last two weeks. So if I can stay at or below goal tomorrow it'll be another milestone! :)
They have banned posts soliciting coupons on the NutriSystem forum. That was helping me pay for my order so now I'm SOL. :( My next order was going to be my last one anyway, but now it will cost me more than it could have. I made another payment today, but I still owe $230 on order #2, never mind order #3! Sucks majorly.
If anyone is planning on starting NutriSystem, please e-mail me at newbirth35@mindspring.com and I'll send you a $30 off coupon, and I will also get $30 off! :)
Brad has Abraham this weekend so rather than trying to deal with how to feed a junk-food-loving obese teenager I told Brad that the three of us could go walking (Abe will really slow us down), and then they could go out to dinner and I'll go home. I said don't bother to come over Saturday and I'll just entertain myself. A little alone time at home with my cats might be nice. I said we could just walk around the lake. It's flat and so would be easier for Abe than many other places Brad and I walk. I was going to make cauliflower faux potatoes for Saturday dinner, but I'll either make it for church or just wait until next weekend.
The troll who desecrated the Seventh Day Baptist Yahoo group seems to still be angry that he was asked to leave (which he voluntarily did). I can't prove it's him (but we all know it is), but the day after he leaves I start getting a ton of spam mail - about 250 messages since last night! He says he's Jewish, but he is such a poor reflection of God that I doubt it. He absolutely hates anyone who believes in Jesus. He's not out to convert; he's out to spread his anger and misery around to others, and then is offended that no one takes him seriously. I put my Spamblocker back on "high" again. Oh well. This will dovetail well with soliciting posts being banned at NS. I won't have to worry about missing an e-mail requesting a coupon because I won't get any. Every cloud has a silver lining, right?

A new low for a Wednesday! Yay! And...I can get into my skinny jeans! :) Looking back in my calendar, the first time I was at or below my goal weight (137) was May 17, a Thursday. That was just for one day. The following week I was at or below goal two days - Friday and Saturday. Same for the week after. So today is the first day I've been at or below goal this early in the week. A very good sign. :)
Finally had the money to go grocery shopping today. I bought salad veggies, frozen veggies, a couple of Weight Watchers meals that were on sale, more soy burgers that were on sale, and chicken breast. The chicken breast is all prepped and I'll pop it in the oven tomorrow and cook it while the laundry is going.
I hope to hit the gym again tomorrow.
Update on the identity theft: TRS and Telecheck appear to be the same company. I faxed Telecheck all the information on me that they requested (they wanted a police report and I just got that done last Friday). Now I need to send TRS a letter telling them to "cease and desist" calling me and do that certified mail so I know they got it. I am really hating this, and meanwhile the fraudulent account is still open!
[Later edit: The "skinny jeans" turned out not to be my skinny jeans, though I did find those and they are fitting better.]

A new low for a Tuesday. Very good. :)
Settle in with some NutriSystem hot cocoa. This will be a big longer than I'd like.
Had session 6 of my personal training. One more left. I was supposed to get only 5 sessions, but the first day he couldn't find the paperwork so gave it to me free, and he was late once and said that session would be free.
Today we did ab stuff first - transfer exercise ball between feet and arms while lying on back, raising arms above head and legs a little above the floor; V-sits while moving your arms between your thighs; bicycle kicks with hands behind head and move right elbow toward left knee then left elbow toward right knee.
Then shoulder exercises - plank and then lift right arm straight ahead, then left arm, then stand up and do various moves - flapping arms, bend elbows and raise arms in front (as if placing something on a shelf), press arms above head, etc. Definitely something I need as my back and shoulders need a lot of work. He says I have muscles back there, but I don't see them.
He also had me do the push-ups where you come up and roll to the right and raise your arm straight up, then center and push-up, then to the left and raise your arm straight up. Then push-ups on an exercise ball. Beginner: place ball in corner, use larger ball. Intermediate: place ball against wall, use smaller ball. Advanced: place ball in center of floor, use even smaller ball. He started me with a medium-sized ball against the wall, then had me do just one rep with the ball in the middle of the floor. He says this is also good with the weight-assisted chin-up machine - do just one rep of what I can handle.
I did hit the weight-assisted machine and set it at 60 lbs. In the past I have only been able to do one rep at this weight, but today I did two. I will have to try 50 lbs. next time (the lower the weight, the harder the exercise).
Ok, on two other things.
Abby got away again last night when I took out the recycling. I thought that would be the last I'd see of her for a few days and settled down in front of the TV with my bedtime snack. It wasn't long before I heard a commotion outside - cats fighting. I ran out and saw Abby halfway up the back staircase having sparred with another cat on the ground, probably over territory. I ran down the walkway and down the stairs and coaxed Abby back up to the top floor and down the walkway to my apartment. I think she was glad to be home after the fight.
My shoe charms came yesterday and I put them on my favorite pair of shoes (photo). It's for an online walking group I joined and you get one charm for every million steps you walk. I already have three million steps, so I was sent three charms.

I did hit the weight-assisted machine and set it at 60 lbs. In the past I have only been able to do one rep at this weight, but today I did two. I will have to try 50 lbs. next time (the lower the weight, the harder the exercise).
Ok, on two other things.
Abby got away again last night when I took out the recycling. I thought that would be the last I'd see of her for a few days and settled down in front of the TV with my bedtime snack. It wasn't long before I heard a commotion outside - cats fighting. I ran out and saw Abby halfway up the back staircase having sparred with another cat on the ground, probably over territory. I ran down the walkway and down the stairs and coaxed Abby back up to the top floor and down the walkway to my apartment. I think she was glad to be home after the fight.
My shoe charms came yesterday and I put them on my favorite pair of shoes (photo). It's for an online walking group I joined and you get one charm for every million steps you walk. I already have three million steps, so I was sent three charms.

Week 14, Day 2
Calories eaten yesterday: 1118
Fat: 23g (20%)
Carbs: 75g (29%)
Protein: 133g (51%)
Weight this morning: 139.8 (One week ago: 140.6)
Calories burned in exercise today: 88
Woot! Barely eeked into the 130s on a Monday! That's a first and a new low for a Monday. If I'm really good all week I might see six days this week under 140.
Was supposed to have personal training today, but Jason called me this morning saying he had a meeting so we rescheduled for tomorrow. I switched tomorrow's activities with today and ran into the City to get my mail. There was a check from the property that's being sold, so I paid off my vacation and bought a few things at WalMart that I figured would be cheaper there than Safeway.
I also found the Carb Smart Rocky Road ice cream there! I couldn't carry it, but I gave some money to Brad and had him buy two cartons for me. It's in the downstairs freezer at work and I'll have him bring it when he comes by my apartment on Friday to go walking.
So tomorrow will be personal training and then I'll buy some groceries on Wednesday, then hopefully hit the gym again on Thursday.

Well, I didn't lose any weight this week. Exactly the same as last week. Bugger. Last week I spent 5 days below 140, but only 2 days at or below goal. I need to work on that.
I ran out of NutriSystem dinners last Thursday, so I am now doing dinner on my own. Today will be a Weight Watchers frozen meal. I still have some lunches. That is one meal I am NOT ready to do on my own yet. I have some NS scrambled eggs, but most days I do breakfast on my own with a lower-carb cereal such as Nutlettes, Special K Protein Plus, or All-Bran. Once a week or so I'll have old-fashioned oatmeal.
Ok, to catch up on the weekend. Friday Brad and I did a short walk. Then he bought me some basics at Safeway because I have no money for them. Actually, we eventually shared everything he bought except for the salad. We stopped at the Marketplace he likes to shop at and he bought me a bottle of Riesling. I'll probably drink most of it, but we'll share that, too. He also bought some meat for himself and our dinner Saturday. He didn't want anything to eat for dinner, but I had chicken breast and salsa with broccoli (photo).
Saturday he picked me up after church and we went out to Lafayette Reservoir. We walked around (2.7 miles), and stopped about halfway around for a picnic lunch (photo). Then he took me to Starbucks because I said I didn't have money for my Saturday treat this week.
We did the beanless, riceless burritos for dinner. I told him to take the remaining meat home and packaged it up for him. He placed it in the bathroom and left before I discovered it. I put it in my freezer and will give it to someone at work. He really doesn't understand how my diet works. He's never cared about his weight and isn't really overweight to begin with, so he's completely clueless.
I think he's tired of the burritos, so the next time we do dinner I'll make the faux mashed potatoes, but just have it as a main course instead of a side dish. I'm using low-fat products for it, though, not non-fat! That non-fat cheese is nasty.
Not sure if we're going out to dinner or not next week. It depends on my finances.

What color is your brain?
| Your Brain is Blue |
 You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles. Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life. |

Unless I have a sudden whoosh I'm going to show a gain this week. :(
I was going to go to the gym today, but when I woke up my hamstrings were sore from all the work yesterday. I thought I could still do my arms, but I decided to do a few push-ups on dumbbells to see if I could use my 10 lb. dumbbells to stabilize myself (I can), and WHOOPS!, my upper body is sore as well. So I stayed home and did 30 minutes on my exercise bike while watching TV and then I walked from the BART station to work.
Plans for the weekend:
Brad and I need to file the police report tomorrow regarding the check fraud. Then we will go for just a short walk since we will also be walking Saturday. Saturday he will pick me up after Sabbath School at about 1 pm and we will go walking around Lafayette Reservoir (2.7 miles) and have a picnic lunch. I think I'll pack a peanut butter sandwich, a turkey and cheese sandwich (with low- or no-fat ingredients), both on low-carb bread, and some canned green beans mixed with low-fat mayonnaise.
Regarding the check fraud, I called Bank of America, and they told me to call the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC said they would send me some papers I needed to make out and then take to the bank to dispute the fraudulent account.

Weight this morning: 138.4 (One week ago: 139.6)

Same weight as yesterday. :( My body hates me and wants to be fat. I usually lose all week and then gain over the weekend when I eat too much and don't drink enough water. I drank enough yesterday and my eating was good.
The personal training went well. I asked Jason about deadlifts and he showed me the one where you bend your legs, and the one where you don't. He also had me do some squats on the Smith machine and another machine.
I also asked him about push-ups. He took a couple 8 lb. dumbbells to stabilize my wrists (why haven't I thought of that?!). He looked at my form and said my hips were sagging and to concentrate on sticking my butt out to keep my hips up. He then showed me some combo moves.
The first combo: bend down with dumbbells in hand, bending your knees until you are squatting all the way down; explode back into a push-up position; do a push-up; do a row motion on each side with the dumbbells; explode back into the full squat and stand up grasping the dumbbells; do a bicep curl with each arm, then do the Arnold Press.
The second combo: get into the push-up position, palms flat on floor, feet further apart than usual; do a push-up; when you come up, twist your body and raise one arm straight into the air; back to center; another push-up; twist to the other side and raise the other arm. This can also be combined with the above, substituting the twisting for the row. The twisting is a bit of a challenge balance-wise. My balance has never been great.
I'm getting a lot of good ideas from this trainer because I come with questions and things I want to try instead of letting him lead me through a set program.

Back into the 130s and a new low for a Tuesday. My previous Tuesday low was 139.2. Of course, working though my old Atkins meals this week has lowered my carbs so I'm sure there's some water weight lost that will come back when I finish them.
Update on the identity theft and phone calls. The collection company calling me is on the up and up. Someone has used my name and ID to set up an account at Bank of America and write a bad check to WalMart. I need to go through Telecheck to fix it and it order to do that I need to file an official police report. Hopefully I can do that this Friday. I think the technical name for what they have done to me is check fraud.
I have told the collection company that the bad check is not from me, but they keep calling anyway, usually early in the morning when I'm asleep. I've taken to leaving the ringer on the phone off just so I can sleep. I also need to call B of A and see if there is anything they can do.
At any rate, that whole thing is a mess. My wallet has been stolen once and the entire purse once in the last few years. Now someone is impersonating me. I put a fraud alert on my credit report and printed out my free report. So far everything on it looks good. I need my credit to be good because I can't afford the constant rent increases at my current apartment. There are tons of cat-friendly apartments out there for only $700 a month (yes, only $700 - rents here are quite high).

A new low for a Monday. That's good. :) Hopefully I'll be back into the 130s tomorrow.
I was supposed to have personal training today, but I got the buses mixed up because of the holiday, so I had to reschedule my appointment for Wednesday. I did go to the gym to work out, though (was planning to anyway).
I forgot the mention one thing about Bay To Breakers. As I was running (with my blue hair!) someone held out a strand of Mardi Gras beads. I wasn't even thinking and grabbed them as I ran past. I know what they mean (you are supposed to expose your breasts to get a strand), and wasn't about to wear them, so I put them in my butt pack and now have a strand of silver Mardi Gras beads hanging on my tackboard. A lot of the nude walkers in Bay To Breakers will wear the beads.

Woot! Saw my goal weight for one whole day again.
Weight Saturday morning: 136.6 (One week before: 138)
Calories burned in exercise Saturday: 0
Wow! A new low, and two days at or below goal! Yay me! Of course, my carbs Friday were really low. I used one of my old Atkins dinners I had packed before starting NutriSystem. I need to use them up.
Weight Sunday morning: 142.4 (One week before: 143.8)
Calories burned in exercise Sunday: 266
Under 140 four days last week! One less day than last week due to my weekend binge.
I'm not happy with an official weight of 142.4. That's more than a pound above two weeks ago (141.2). Why can't my body ever show an overall loss on Sunday? :( I did drink too much at Applebee's yesterday. For dinner I had the quesadilla burger (yum!) and subbed out the fries for broccoli. My 141.2 weight was the week I got stuck with a salad for dinner and had nothing to drink except Diet Pepsi.
Three months on NutriSystem and all I have to show is 11.4 pounds gone. :( And the first two pounds were just water weight since the highest pre-NS weight I saw on Atkins was 152. I only went up to 154 because of a last binge before I started the program.
Bay To Breakers finally fixed my finish time. It is now showing up correct on their Web site. Here's the new screen shot. And I also took a screen shot of my official finisher's certificate - well, as much of it as would fit on the screen. As you can see, I placed 8571 out of 23,700 total finishers, 2803 out of 11,960 women, and 843 of 3146 women aged 30-39. Not bad I'd say! Yay Bay To Breakers for finally fixing this error (I called them about it last week).
Oh yeah...Gordon Gill's time got mixed up with someone else's. When I pull up his time now it reads 1:43:14. I tried to copy a photo of his off the active.com Web site, but it just comes up blank. I'll have to try it at home. He has gray hair and a mustashe.
Next week Brad and I are talking about a walk around Lafayette Reservoir on Saturday with a picnic lunch. But we would stay on the paved 3 mile trail, so nothing too hard. :) Brad did hurt his knee recently though, so we won't go if it isn't better. :(

Week 12, Day 4
Here's another Bay To Breakers photo. Click on it for a larger size and the full explanation.Calories eaten yesterday: 1178
Fat: 33g (26%)
Carbs: 96g (34%)
Protein: 112g (39%)
Weight this morning: 139.6 (One week ago: 137.2)
Calories burned in exercise today: 103
Back into the 130s today! Yippee! My 8s are getting loose again. I can actually pull down my stretch 8s from Old Navy without unbuttoning them! :) My ring is also getting loose again. Feels good to get the water bloat off.
Hopefully I can get back to the gym tomorrow and then go walking with Brad on Friday. Saturday we are going to Applebees and I am going to get a quesadilla burger, sub out the fries with broccoli (yum!) and get a glass of Riesling. Mmm mmm. I can hardly wait.
Bought more Weight Watchers dinners at the store today. I'm all stocked up on everything I need to do my own dinners - chicken breast, shrimp, frozen veggies, and WW dinners. I found one dinner that's only 140 calories! I haven't tried it yet, but I like the other dinners so I now have a bunch of these.
I also found store brand boca burgers on sale so I bought two packages. I'll have to continue looking for sales on these. They are much cheaper than NS burgers, though at least the NS burgers are meat.
