(MyFoxHouston) — A Detroit father said agents with the Transportation Security Administration singled out his special-needs son for a pat-down while the family was headed to Disney World, MyFoxDetroit.com reported, an incident that the TSA admitted was a “case of bad judgment.”

David Mandy said agents at Detroit Metro Airport took his son Drew, 29, and asked him about the padding underneath his pants, which turned out to be adult diapers. Drew, who is severely mentally disabled, had trouble understanding the agents’ orders because his family said he has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old.

When the father tried to intervene and explain Drew’s disability, he said the two agents said, “Please, sir, we know what we’re doing.”

The agents confiscated a six-inch plastic hammer, something Drew had carried with him for 20 years for comfort. Agents called it a security threat, his father said, adding that they tapped the wall with it and said, “See, it’s hard. It could be used as a weapon.”

The family was told they’d have to ship the hammer if they wanted to keep it, David Mandy said.

“I understand they’re trying to keep people safe,” Mandy told MyFoxDetroit.com. “But come on, does he look like a terrorist?”

In a statement to FoxNews.com, the TSA said it’s reviewing the incident but early findings indicate this was an “isolated case of bad judgment.” The TSA reached out to the Mandy family to apologize and said the man’s toy hammer should have never been confiscated.

Day Six- Do you binge? If so, explain why you think you do.

I’m not exactly sure what binging entails. Like, do I sometimes eat food that I shouldn’t? Yes, all the time. Do I overeat? Sometimes. Do I overeat on purpose? Not at all. 

I used to do a lot of mindless eating. I would be watching tv and eating chips, or doing homework and eating. I never got full from it. 

I also eat when I’m bored, sad, angry. It’s weird, but I’ll finish eating a meal, and then thirty minutes later I’ll be hungry again. I shouldn’t be hungry. I usually eat fruit when that happens. 

I don’t think I have a binging problem. I think I have a eating-foods-you-shouldn’t-eat-and-not-exercising-problem, which I’m working on.

ps, not craving anything. well actually sometimes I long for a piece of salmon…haha



Bodymedia Fit

I’ve been wanting one of these for a while now and finally caved in last night and ordered one off of Amazon.com. It’s much cheaper on there than the bodymedia website.

Weigh-in Wednesday: June 8th, 2011

Last week: 200

This week: 198

Loss: -2

Total Loss: -36

Fuck. Yeah. For like five damn days I was stuck at exactly 200.2, and then in the past 3 days my body finally went “oh, you want that number to go down? I guess I can make that happen…” The number is actually more like 198.4, but I’m rounding tot he nearest whole number… whatever.

THE POINT? YOU SEE THAT NUMBER? That number in front of the other two numbers? You know, the one with a ONE in front of everything. Yeah. I’m out of the 200s. YEAHHHHHH.

It is supposed to reach almost 100 degrees today…. I’m working as usual then home to take care of the dog and start level 3 of the shred! Then more exercise to reach an hour and then I have to do homework, COOK dinner (I’m thinking multigrain pasta w broccoli), get copies made for my class, and maybe find some time to go swimming? My presentations for my one class start tomorrow night - we can go anytime between tomorrow and the last day of class but I really want to get it over with so I really have to work on it tonight and prepare. I’m so lazy when it comes to school lately but I have so much to do so I just want to get it all done!

I’m still focusing on eating well this week…. paying close attention to carbs and fat especially and of course sodium. Drinking my water of course and I am NOT going to order food tonight. NOT NOT NOT NOT. Dan won’t be around later, he is going on a class trip with his school to Dorney Park so I will be at the apartment alone until he gets back - probably not until after 6 and I never go and get food when I’m alone so I know I’ll cook.

I am tired of seeing the 180s on the scale. I’ve been maintaining at around 182.5 the past few days but I want to see some 170s at the end of the week.

I worked my fat ass off. I went to the gym, took a zumba class, did 15 minutes on the cross trainer, 10 running, 5 on the stair master, 100 sit ups, some weights for my arms, 100 squats and then some lovely stretches.

breakfast - protein bar 204 kcals

At the gym I burned 700 kcals

I am just choosing lunch now. I am going out to dinner tonight so lunch will have to be very small. I don’t want to go over 900 kcals today really.

I will be doing sit-ups throughout the day - goal of 500 today I think.



Oh one of the reasons I work out?

So that one day when I meet the new Mr. Glorica Calonsag, oh yeah you heard right, and he passes out in shock of my awesomeness..or the stick that I beat him over the head with..I shall use my sweet sweet muscles to throw him over my shoulder and carry him into my Woah-man cave. 

Also Umbridge/Joe Walker is my fitspo.

Food

Breakfast - none

Lunch - roast pork salad sandwich, green tea, banana

Dinner - none

Snacks - slice of chesecake, toffee pop, orange

Water intake - 2.5 ltrs

Exercise

Body attack class at gym - 45 mins.

i went to do c25k but the class was just strating so thought i’d try it out and man i felt i had worked out but i am also so unco lol

so angry at myself for not eating tea but i got home form gym then had to go to work for a meeting then straight onto a meeting at my girls school then i got home @ 9.30pm and i don’t really like to go to be on a full tummy.

I’ve been working at home today.  It’s been hectic, I had one day off and came in to 30 e-mails that actually needed action and attention. At least it gives me a reason not to put that load of washing on today…

I did the school run with littlest this morning and, blessed be, he didn’t cry!  I was so grateful because I’d been steeling myself to run out sobbing (as I usually do when I have to walk away from him) but this morning we went the quick and painless route.  I faffed around with his bag whilst still holding him so when it came to say goodbye, I kissed him, told him I loved him, handed him over…and ran!  Littlest went off with his keyworker for breakfast and I was able to return home with my mascara still in tact.  Now I’m counting the hours until I can go and collect him, and see that beaming little face when he spots me.

So, last week I spoke about the fact that I finally had to face up to my weight gain and choose once and for all, whether to deal with it or not.  I am proud to say that I have been dealing with it.  At the moment, it’s nothing drastic.  I have started to eat regularly.  Every two hours in fact.  The difference is, when it comes to snack time instead of reaching for bars of chocolate or brownies, I now eat a yoghurt or some fruit, or a couple of rice cakes.  My meals still need some focus, they are not as low fat as they could be, but all in good time.  I am conscious of portion sizes though and don’t eat anymore than I need to feel full.  I have started taking the stairs in the office instead of the lift (even when I trek the 9 floors, equalling 180 steps, to the staff restaurant and almost die) to give me a bit more exercise and so far this has amounted to a 5lb weight loss.  In five days.  I am ASTOUNDED but very pleased, and now highly motivated to continue.

I have a long way to go and many, many more changes to make but I’m happy with this as my first week and am excited to see how much more I will have lost come my ‘official’ weigh-in on Monday.

Littlest will have the happy, active yummy-mummy that I always hoped he would.

Breakfast:



Today was my mom’s birthday party/present day!!! I took her into the city to go see a show- we saw Avenue Q. We got a HUGE lunch at Junior’s… so I assumed that would make me go over my calorie count. I don’t think that measurement is accurate though, because that was a HUGE cheeseburger… anyway, I left some calories at the end to keep it flexible. I ended up not eating a real dinner because we ate a late lunch (like 2) and that cheeseburger was like…. a pound of meat (hahaha).

Don’t worry- I ate ice cream when we got home =P Did lots of walking around the city. My feet hurt, but it was such a good day!!

Follow me on my weight loss journey!!



Mocha Milkshake!! Only 100 calories and 3 fat!

1 serving Breyer’s 98% fat free ice cream

1 teaspoon Maxwell House Sugar Free Mocha

splash of sugar free torani vanilla syrup

3 tablespoons (.2 C) nonfat milk

My Old Before And AfterI am NOT eating a healthy meal right now.

I didn’t really have dinner tonight, just kind of ate. So at like 9pm, my mom saw me nibbling on almonds. She told me she thinks I don’t eat enough after I work out and asked me to let her make me some more nutritious food. I wanted to say no, I had had enough calories and was fine. But what would that do? She’d just worry more if I got defensive.

So she made me a ham and cheese sandwich. 97% fat free ham and low calorie cheese with a single slice of high fiber bread. Then more almonds and an orange. For dessert, she prepared another slice of bread with a thick layer of peanut butter, honey, lots chocolate chips, and cinnamon.

I’m not going to do the calories for this. I know that it’s probably around or above 2000 calories, but I burned 760 today. I won’t weigh myself tomorrow so as to not freak myself out.

I’m really overwhelmed by the need to purge. I won’t do it, I really won’t. I can’t, I’ve already taken my PCOS medication and birth control pill. I hate bringing my meds back up.

So tomorrow I’ll just lift weights and eat clean, even at work. I’ll take edamame for when I go on break at work. But maybe my mom is right, maybe I should be eating more. I guess we’ll see on Wednesday.

But it’s so easy to forget that my eating doesn’t just effect me. My mom’s sister nearly died of anorexia when they were younger and her father had bulimia. She notices everything, no matter how hard I try to hide it. She might not have said anything, but I know what she’s thinking when I come out of the bathroom with bloodshot eyes. I know how much it hurts her to see me let myself go hungry.

The other night she tried to feed me more and I resisted until she said, “I just can’t let you be hungry.” I can’t hurt her with my habits anymore, I need to work my shit out.





Its funny the way the world works.

After an entire week of eating junk food without working out, I finally weighed myself today.

Surprisingly, I still lost two pounds! That puts me at my lowest weight so far at 136 lbs. Its weird to think that just a little under 5 months ago I was around 151.

But I’m going to celebrate with this Oreo…and none of you can stop me.

I blog about 

  • weight loss
  • doctor who
  • hipsters
  • other nerdy things


Today was a little easier then yesterday although I’m still really sore! Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but I think my legs are a little more toned :0 can anyone tell me if it’s possible? I mean I’ve only been doing it for three days but I think I’ve noticed a difference already! I’m so going to re-start the program after the 30 days. It’s a lot of fun and it’s short which I love! I’m loving the 30 Day Shred!

I used to cook all the time with my grandma when I was little, but I haven’t really cooked lately. I’m not sure why, I really miss it. There are a ton of low cal recipes I really want to try, so I think I’ll give it a shot. :)

Just because something SAYS its healthy does not mean it is! Do some reasearch, rather than just accepting what you see on the internet or television. Things like the “Healthy Skinny Girl Diet” are not healthy, and can actually hurt you!

Going to run for 20 to 25 minutes now, then 10 minutes of crunches/jumping jacks/squats/lunges/etc, then idk what. Woooooooooooooo :3



NEW BLOG YEAH.

So this summer, I am taking on a challenge. That challenge, my friends, is to eat healthier.

Let me tell you a story. Last summer, I weighed 127 pounds. That summer, I had eaten 1200 calories a day, with at least 45 minutes of exercise per day.

Then I went to college. I now weigh 143 pounds. I’m not healthy, and I want to change that.

This blog isn’t going to be about counting calories or obsessing over carbohydrates. This blog is going to be about eating foods that make me feel good, doing things that make me feel good, and loving my body- everything about it.

Have a great recipe planned tonight! I'm making baked macaroni and cheese with mushrooms and eggplant! The portion size is going

As you may be noticing I really like cheesy dishes. They give lots of protein and if you use the right cheeses don't use up too much fat! I'm also a big pasta person. I use healthy Rozoni smart taste pasta so it has lots of fiber in it with 40 less calories than a normal serving! I also just cook up a box every weekend and divide it into portions so I always have it ready to toss into a dish.




Cut health care costs

If everyone who consumes diet drinks (with aspartame /Nutra-sweet) would look at the health problems it causes and find a healthy alternative, we could get a good start on lowering health care costs now and truly impact the future.

30 Day Weight Loss Challenge - Day 05

Why do you really want to lose this weight? Are you doing it for you?

I want to lose weight to feel comfortable with my body for the first time in my life. I grew 6 inches the year I was 10. I got boobs and my period when I was 11. I looked like I was 16 at a very young age. I got looks from men, some old enough to be a my dad, some younger. But no matter how old they were it always made me feel sick to my stomach. I didn’t know how to deal with attention from guys at ten because I was more concerned about playing with my friends.

There is only one person I am doing this for and that’s me. No one can make me lose weight. No one can make me work out. It has to all come from me; just like I can’t lose weight for anyone but myself.
