Wondering Wednesday

[nam2013]

Hi! How are all of you lovely ladies? Hope all the sick kiddos are feeling better 🙂.

[nam2013]

Just heard I got a second interview from the one I had yesterday and I’m on my way to a different interview right now... All the possibilities, this is soooo not my thing, I’m a nervous wreck 😂😂😂. Went to a water playground with a friend, it was nice to catch up.

[klong11]

Stayed home from work today. My stomach is angry at something for the 2nd day in a row and I didn't want to deal with it at the office.

[mwhip]

Morning! Same as usual here today. Evie is staying with FIL and SMIL tonight because they have her today and tomorrow. So H and I have a kid free night. But this diet makes our lives no fun, so we aren't doing anything. I'm down 12 lbs and H is down 10, since Saturday. But OMG, I'm so damn hungry. I have to turn the corner and get used to it soon, right?

[mwhip]

Good Luck nam2013! That's exciting that they called you back so quick!

klong11 I hope you feel better! Did you eat something bad?

[klong11]

mwhip I don't think so. It's weird, I don't necessarily feel bad, like nothing hurts, I just can't stop visiting the restroom.
I've actually been eating healthy and staying within my calories....maybe my body is revolting. LOL

[lahdeedah]

Look at you nam2013! Hope these interviews get you closer to a job you want. Good luck!

[trtlcrzy]

Morning. I have a massive sinus headache. I think I’m catching what H has. H still has a bit of a fever but seems pretty happy for the most part. I’m going to drop the girls at MIL’s house in a little while and then I’m going to work. There is a heat advisory in effect at noon so I want to be done way before that.

Damn!  That's a lot of weight to lose quickly!  What are you eating?  I know you're not drinking alcohol but what are these secrets?

[guster]

Lots of great choices, @nam! Good luck!
@klongoria and trtlcrzy, hope you both feel better!
That's amazing, mwhip! Is it just diet or are there shakes and/or supplements too?

[vino]

Good luck at your interview nam2013

Feel better klong11

[vino]

Ouch trtlcrzy, hopefully it’s short lived and you feel better soon

It is a lot to lose this fast, which I realize isn't healthy.  Breakfast is one of their shakes with supplements, a high protein snack mid morning (hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, or non fat Greek yogurt) with a supplement, lunch is 4-6oz lean protein with 2 cups veggies (and supplement).  Mid afternoon snack is the same as mid-morning.  Dinner is same as lunch.  We are eating the shit out of chicken and turkey breasts.  H is eating a lot of tuna as well.  There is a list of approved foods to eat.

Drinking a shit load of water.

Basically, high protein, lots of veggies, no carb/sugar/fat and limited dairy.  All stuff I should know, but I guess since I paid so damn much money for it, I'm sticking to it.  

Although it may be the death of me or someone I work with before I'm done.

@klongoria and trtlcrzy , hope you both feel better!
That's amazing, mwhip ! Is it just diet or are there shakes and/or supplements too?

It is a diet plan with supplements.  I think after H and I reset our bodies, I probably won't continue their shakes/supplements, because hopefully we are developing healthy habits that we can continue on our own.

We also had a lot to lose, like 50+lbs each, so I think that's why these few days have been so drastic.  On someone not obese, I don't think you could expect to lose this much, this fast.

[mwhip]

When researching this plan, I read the 8 day jump start drops your daily calorie intake to between 800-1000 calories. So it's a HUGE cut to what we are used to. H isn't completely following the plan, he grabs a handful of peanut butter filled pretzels occasionally. But he works outside in the heat, he's a bigger guy, so I don't think his cheating is going to make a huge difference. Plus he travels, so he knows he can't 100% stick to it, like I can.

[guster]

The food sounds reasonable to me, mwhip. Portion control is my biggest issue.

[xolastunicornxo]

Morning. We had a REALLY rough night. I think C had a tummy ache or gas issues but she was up from 11:30 to 5 with a few foxes thrown in. And those were only with her on my chest. And every time I dozed off I fell into super vivid nightmares.i don’t know what’s up with my dreams lately but they have all been super realistic and not good lately. Thankfully when dh got up at 5 for work and realized what was happening he rearranged his morning so he could go in later and took C so I could get a few hours of sleep.

I have a lot of drama going on in multiple facets of my extended family right now and I’m pretty sure that’s why my anxiety is through the roof and I’m having nightmares evernight. Our California trip can’t come soon enough.

ETA: C was up with a few *dozes thrown in, not foxes.

[xolastunicornxo]

mwhip that’s amazing! Get it girl!

Feel better trtlcrzy

Congrats on the interview @nam

I wasn't trying to infer it wasn't healthy, I was just impressed that it happened that quickly.  It's not like you're starving yourself or anything.  

I will say a lot of that is probably do to no alcohol.  I have cut back a lot in the past couple of weeks.  I still drink every day but usually just one drink or 1 glass of wine during the week.  I've lost 6 lbs.  That's embarrassing.

Morning, friends!

We are back from visiting my sister and new nephew. We hated to leave but I'm glad I got some time with them, and the kids and I survived the return trip so gold star for us, ha.

It'll probably take me awhile to catch up but I hope you all had a good weekend. Sorry for the sick kids, add B to the list...we dealt with our first MOTN vomit session while in FL so that was super fun :/

inthekitty I saw that y'all have a new realtor as of yesterday--woohoo! I hope your stress level drops and y'all will see an offer soon.

Morning.

X is in surgery. They should be about done so we're expecting they will be calling us back any minute to take him home.

Ha Ha! It's going to be over 100 here today, not walking!  I work out on my lunch.  I think we'll just chill in front of the tv and be lazy together!  :-)

I didn't read your response as in saying I was unhealthy, I didn't mean for it to sound that way.  I do feel like I'm starving though, which I think is just my body detoxing all the sugar and crap, plus my metabolism speeding up.  I think alot of the up front loss was due to drinking so much last week while I was off work for the holiday.  So yeah, I get that embarrassment, but I'm still counting it.  :-)

[flamingo]

inthekitty Oh, did the return-showing lady make an offer?? If yes, congrats!

cagoldi Hope X comes through well and has an easy and quick recovery.

B is at camp this morning (we missed the first day) at his new preschool. Poor kid looked kind of shell-shocked when he walked in, I hope he has a good morning. Meanwhile C, Miss Social Butterfly, walked right in and attempted to pull a toy out to play with. LOL. I took C out for some errands and am currently making a grocery list. I'd forgotten what it's like to only have one kiddo around!
