NEXUSNRG's CalorieKing blog
Wednesday, Feb 17 2010 - Duck, duck, goose!
View NEXUSNRG's food & exercise for this day
Remember when you were a little kid and the P.E. Teacher would make you all sit in a huge circle and one person would have to run around and tap you on the head while going duck, duck, goose! And then who ever was the goose would have to jump up and run around to try to get a spot to sit back down. Ahhh memories.
I FREAKING HATED P.E.!!!!!!
Anyhow its been over a week since I've written anything, and I'll admit the main reason for that was I hit a sort-of plateau. I actually gained back a couple pounds from the previous week's weigh-in and was not in a bloginess mood. But I never gave in. I continued to maintain my target as close as possible, a couple of days going over by 20-30 calories, most often than not I was under. If I'm not hungry I'm not forcing myself to eat more food, so I always manage to hit just below target but still get my green check.
Anyhow on Friday I ran out of my water retention pills and didn't get it refilled until Monday. It made a huge difference too, because on Monday I weighed 412.0 Lbs. I about freaked out. I took my water pill and I must of used the bathroom once every hour for 12 hours straight, OMG that sucked! But you know what, come Tuesday the scale said 406.8 Lbs!!! AWESOMENESS! I'm actually back on the losing slope again. Not only that but I woke up a couple of hours ago (now 3am) and weighed myself again (now Wednesday 1am) and the scale said 405.6 Lbs! I'm not logging that weight though. It feels good to see it move again though. 405! I'm at my lowest once again in 4 years.
On a painful note, the other night I did something, or something happen, not sure what to my right foot and its been very painful to stand or walk on, so I've been out on sick leave the past 3 days. I have an appointment with a foot doctor today to find out what's going on. It sucks being a gimp and this makes me only more thankful that even though I'm really big, I'm mobile. I happened to catch a show on Discovery Health the other night about some half ton teen. He weighed twice as much as me and was totally bed-ridden. I am soooo thankful I'm not that bad off, I said to myself that I would never ever allow myself to get like that. Felt sorry for him, but his struggle really put mine into perspective.
Saturday morning after work I went out to the park and took a picture of this huge goose along with some other birds just relaxing in the sun. The original size is so much better looking.

It's very minor the foot doctor took xrays and there's nothing wrong, it could be gout, or a spur or who knows. He gave me topical creme called aspercreme and some tramadol for pain, but the tramadol isn't doing anything. I just got to give it a few days to pass, he'll want me to return in a couple of weeks when the swelling comes down to perform therapy on it. I'm doing fine though!
Good to hear you've stuck out the lights out for over 72 hours now. I know it's rough, anyone could understand you being irritable too. I'm sorry but I hate exercise. I know a lot of people on here say that once you get into it you love it and actually miss it if you stop. One day I hope to look back on these words say I was stupid for saying I hate exercise. I know I'm going to do it, I just want to lose a little more weight 10% before getting serious. I hated being forced to try to climb the rope too, oh yeah and pull ups.

So sorry you are in pain! The last two days for me have been BAD!. I am not smoking and haven't even been close to smokers to catch the 2nd hand in over 72 hours. 3 days.
I don't want to kill people anymore and I think I can deal with keeping my calories close to my goal.
I don't want to exercise. I hated PE in school. They always wanted me to do pull-ups and climb ropes. I never understood why that was important. I was no good at Duck Duck Goose either. Take care, be well and I hope whatever is wrong is minor and quits hurting.

I'll try the bbcode on my next blog entry instead of using the default add photo option. I've tried many html commands in the forum and the only ones that seem to work are bold and italics.
As for the Tramadol that stuff isn't doing jack for me. I expected utopia or something. Well the pain is going away and I go back to work tonight after being out for 4 days straight.

Sorry, should have clarified - the [img] tags seem to ONLY work in blog posts. Not comments or (I don't think) in forums.

I hope your foot is better very soon; those spurs can be a pain for sure. I have taken tramadol when my ear drum busted and swelled shut; that pain was worse than when I broke my ankle. It does help the pain, but made me feel in a daze and sleepy You are doing well on the weight loss in my opinion and the way I see it is; we did not get this weight on us over night and it iwll take a lot longer than over night for it go to way. So we must hang in thwere and support each other the best we can. I hated PE also. I do remember having to play duck duck goose in elementary school, and I think it went Red rover red rover send _______ whoever's name right over and tried to break the chain. The only sport in PE I did like was kick ball and soccer when I hit Middle school. I actually did well in that; played on a team for our Rec Dept for 4 yrs; hit high school and girls were not allowed they had no HS scoccer team. I did not run very fast so i was goalie. I was a little bit chubby then might be why. My daughter is thin; long legs, weighs 105 and she is 5'2" tall and she is only 13. I pray she is never chubby or becomes my size now.

Thanks for the comments all. I just got back from the doctor a little bit ago and it seems I have a spur or something. He prescribed some Tramadol 50mg for the pain which I just took. I hope the side-effects aren't too bad. I read the stuff can get you high like oxycodone. We.shall.see.
Resizing a 1024x768 picture down to 200x200 really reduces the quality. Abby I didn't have it online anywhere so I couldn't point to a url, however I wasn't aware that bbcode worked on here so I'll have to try that. Leslie water retention has been a problem of mine for 4 or 5 years now. I try to take a pill for it every day but it still doesn't get rid of all of it. I was private school educated so P.E. was a bit different but still sucked none the less.
Aww Tara, I'm still here I'll try to update more often. Was just in a dump but coming out of it. 399 is soooo just around the corner. I took a dump this afternoon AFTER writing in my blog and the scale read 403.6 so 403.6 Lbs it is.. I'm not changing my weigh-in weight though. I'll leave it at 407 for now.
Wow, thanks Ashley I never knew anyone read this thing. Thanks for the comments Debbie it looks like we survived FAT TUESDAY. hahah. I hated school period but P.E. sucked. Foot should be better in a day or two I hope. Still limping, waiting for the good drugs to kick in any minute now.
We're gonna try the bbcode here I uploaded little goosey to flickr now... See how this works out.. ummm I am starting to feel a little weird. It's only been 10 minutes since I swallowed the red pill and not the blue one.

P.E. ticked me off. I always got picked last because I am very uncoordinated. The kids that made fun of me were the same ones that had to shut up when I ran past them. We had to run a mile every gym class and I was on the cross country team. I still wasn't cool enough to get picked for anything. Still managed to get my Letter (high school sport crap) beofre half of the "jocks" did because I was playing on the Varsity golf team.
Water weight is annoying. I try not to let it bother me but it's still there sometimes.
Like the photo, I find it odd as well, that the photos look terrible, even though I myself adjust it to the size shown. Who knows... sigh

Man, something must be in the air lately - I've been seriously lacking on motivation. We need to find ways to keep each other motivated!!

I really enjoy reading your blog! I HATED P.E. I was the fattest kid in class, which made me a great target for dodge ball. I made my only C in high school in P.E., because I couldn't run a mile. It was humiliating. The interesting thing, is that now, I can run 6 miles. Oh, how I'd love to go back to my high school P.E. teacher and tell him that I think of him every time I run... and not in a good way. Grudge much?

OH I hated P.E. too... It had a lot to do with our teachers though. They made it tough on ya if you were a chunker...
I hope your foot heals soon and I am so happy you are doing so well. Keep up the great work and motivation!
