Blogs > Lighten Up with Priscilla

Despite dealing with the pain left after a serious car crash, 49-year-old Priscilla Hyclak of Mentor knows she has to get moving if she wants to reach her goal of a 60-pound weight loss. She's motivated, though, because the widow's children remind her how much they need their mother.

Weigh IN

Well my positive thoughts just went out the window.  I went up 13 lbs - this not moving is doing me in.  Someone reminded me today of the biggest loser show where the one contestant got hurt and could only do upper body stuff.  Yet that contestant was one of the first men on the ranch to lose 100 lbs.  Guess I will be doing a lot of chair exercising over the next few weeks.  Didn't really get in this to win it but wanted to continue to lose not gain that is for sure.  I definitely want to lose 40 lbs by Thanksgiving now.

Positive Thinking....

It is harder and harder to stay positive these days.  My physical activity has been almost stopped finally got a doc appointment but took four weeks for the appointment.  I want to be active I don't want to "SIT" but the pain is worst than others I have encountered.  These past months have not gone as I wanted I wanted another 45 lbs gone.  I guess I can be happy that basically I have maintained.  Lets see what happens next Saturday - that will tell me how much I have been maintaining.  Maybe after the doc, I can start getting active again before the snow falls and back to the gray......I am very proud of those in the group who have done so well.  See you guys next Saturday

Today - a positive note

As I sit here and complain yet again about the weather (either raining or too warm - can't win) and with ice packs to try to get rid of the pain.  I actually came up with a positive note for myself.
 
Even though I have not gotten to the goal I had hoped for during this journey, I have at least been able to maintain the weight loss before starting this.
 
That in it's self is maintaining for almost one year the weight I lost from last July.
 
This is my pat on the back for myself today!!!!!

Ironic

How ironic is that a person lost 45 pounds and now has physical issues - it just is not fair

Today

Can't believe the weather finally gets really nice and the mood changes - but then the body lets me down
 
Thought when you lost weight your medical issues get less - why is that my increase?
