2011 weight loss goals

Strive to do something every day that will help me be more healthy and lose weight. Yes, I could just put be more healthy, but for me, being more healthy is plain and simple. Losing weight. Any doctor would say the same. Of all the things I can do to improve my health, losing weight is the most important for me right now. I will strive every day to...

1-take (2) vitamins
2-stretch
3-15 min of exercise (something, anything!)
4-drink 8 glasses of water
5- eat a serving of fruit or veggie with every meal or snack
6-avoid 'fake' foods (anything with basically no nutritional value other than calories)

310.4 I think.

I need a new scale. The one I have is so incredibly unreliable, it's ridiculous. Sometimes it does great, and other times, like today, it's impossible to get an accurate weight. I always step on twice and make sure I get the same number twice. This morning, I must have stepped on the scale 30 times and I don't think I got the same number twice. I even put new batteries in it, and it made no difference at all. What a pain. The weight ranged anywhere from 298.6 up to 312 and almost everything in between. It seemed that the average was around the same as yesterday, so I'm just saying it stayed the same.

I was frustrated before, now I'm down right discouraged. I'm not giving up, so don't give up on me. My body just seems to be fighting me right now. I felt like I ate really well again. Came under my calorie limit again, but still nothing.

I did do some research on the Ibuprofen thing, and it does seem that it may cause water retention. I also discovered that it can increase your chances dramatically of congestive heart failure. WHAT?! I thought the only really serious side effects were related to stomach and intestinal damage, and since I've never had any problems with my stomach, I take it all the time! To say the least, I will not be taking it with such reckless abandon anymore. My knee will be getting a whole lot more ice and brace than medication from now on.

Here's where I got my info about Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs if you're interested. Scroll down to 'RENAL' for info on fluid retention specifically.

    Go get yourself a new scale, and remember that your weight can fluctuate up and down several pounds every day just because. My husband has been 2-3 pounds different in the same day whether or not he's eaten anything. If you're making good food choices and getting in some exercise you will get the reward on the scale... eventually! Don't give up!
