Weigh day Week 17

Well I am getting closer and closer to the 100lb mark.. Will I make it by Sept 10th? I guess time will tell.


Last weeks weight loss -4 lbs
For a Grand Total of -86lbs


This weeks weight loss -4 lbs
For a Grand total of -90 lbs GONE!!!


Whoot, whoot. Happy Dance.. Another 10lb threshold crossed. So that leaves 10lbs to go to the 100 lb mark. That is 10lbs in 11 days though, I am thinking that I am not gonna make it but hey I am pretty darn close and will continue to give it my best efforts!!

Well the worst has finally started to happen. The day I dreaded and hoped would never come. My hair has started to fall out. I was/am so upset by it. I was so hoping that it would not happen and when I was in the clinic for my appt last week they asked me about it, I said everything seemed fine so far but I also had said that I really did not know what to look for. They informed me that once it started to fall out I would know, that there would be no mistaking it and they were right!!! I was in the shower and sure enough when I started washing my hair it was coming out, enough that my drain clogged and it was all over my hands and body. I also notice it now that when I comb my hair or run my hands through it I have a whole lot of hair coming out with it.. Very upsetting as my hair has always been what I considered my best feature. I sure hope that it does not last too long, I hate the thought of having to cut my hair because of the thinning. Today I went out and bought some vitamins that are specially for hair, the vitamins have the extra B-12 and Biotin that I need and I am really gonna try to keep up with my protein, as lack of protein is also a big factor in why your hair falls out.


I have also decided that I need to really start keeping better track of my food and protein intake. I know that there are online food journals that can be done so I am gonna see if I can find one that will work for me and start posting daily as to my intake. I am supposed to be getting between 60-80 grams of protein a day(now that my hair is going it has to be increased to 80-120 grams) and I am sure that I probably am NOT getting that much but because I don't keep better track of my intake it is hard to say where I am at. So that is why I need to start staying on top of it better and believe me now that my hair is going I will do my absolute best to get it under control.


This weekend will be pretty uneventful, I have allot of stuff to work on around here as I am having the garage sale for a 2nd weekend as well as I need to start getting ready for my trip on Sept 10th. No extra money right now to be able to go away this weekend as well as the 10th. Not to mention Holiday traffic is always horrendous and something that I really just don't want to deal with.. I am perfectly fine to hang out here and get things done. I have friends who will be camping at a nearby campground on the lake so maybe I will take the boat over there for a day and have some water fun, not to mention I can ride my horses as they need to get in shape.


I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend!!
