Happy New Year!!!!

Jan 09, 2012

 Happy New Year!!!     New Year = New Beginnings. That is how I'm approaching it. I wasn't very good for Christmas but the good news is i didn't gain anything...(thank god) So as I sit here at work I keep telling myself to get motivated and get my butt exercising. But alas I have yet to do so... BUT i'm going to change that with baby steps so i don't get burnt out after being gunho.  So to start things out im officially at 258.4, that is a total of 86.4 down from my highest of 343 back in July. I'm just 13.6 pounds away from my 100lbs lost.  So I'm making it my mini goal to reach that by Valentines Day. That gives me 35 days. And i know i can WAY exceed that if I put my mind to it. So what are your mini goals? I'd love to hear them.

4 Month check up

Nov 09, 2011

 Went to Dr. Nease yesterday and he is super happy with my progress. I have lost a total of 56 lbs. since surgery. 73lbs from my highest weight.  My BP was 119/78 and I've been off my BP meds for about 3 weeks. My BMI is 44.6 it was 56 when i started (i think) and i have lost a total of 28% of my excess body weight.   And the best news is my triglycerides were 308...I know that is still bad BUT it was 560 ...soooo 200+points down in 4 months is pretty awesome.  THe rest of my boodwook was perfectly normal. I think that is something to be proud of.

I'm still here.. :)

Oct 17, 2011

 I've been on here , just haven't posted anything.   I haven't been feeing well today, i think im geting a cold. :(   So I decided to hope on the scale and I'm down to 282.4.   That is so weird to type that. I'm so use to typing 3 something. I've been moving slowly down the scale, slowly is they key word. I haven't forced myself into the world of exercise. I know i need to and when I do the weight will melt off.... just have to do it.  Anyway had to put it here and admit it to you all becasue it makes it real. And me accountable..lol So Happy October everyone!!!

TWODERVILLE!!! I have arrived.

Sep 04, 2011

 Yep thought I'd get on that scale this morning and see if i passed that stupid 300.6 mark that i have been at for days..... well it said 297.8!!!!    SOOO happy i made it to Twoderville!!  My first major goal accomplished.  I remember in high school saying "if i ever go over 200 i  would never eat again and workout till i fell down. I will not go over 200!". Boy doesn't that seem like a lifetime ago.  Well i can officially say I WILL NEVER BE IN THE 300 again!!!

Bummed but not broken

Aug 21, 2011

 OK first of all thank you Melissaallen for keeping me on my toes, I so wanted to just not admit this and move on, But here goes I went to the doctor and the good news is my BP is 122/76 so i am extremely happy about that. Bad news is i gained 4 pounds.....  :( But I know why. I've been bad. Now that i have learned i can eat i have tried many things i shouldn't. And add the fact that i have not been exercising.  Soooo That means nose to the grind stone and back to basics. Oh one of my biggest nono's that i learned is Tea is not a food group. I was having a terrible time drinking my water. It just tasted awful. So i thought i would try some tea. I fell in love again. Problem was that was all i was drinking besides my protein shakes. SO again i know back to basics and what i should be doing.   So i raise my glass of water to a fall off of the wagon. I get back up and try again.

Only 4 pounds this week....

Aug 09, 2011

 Well i've only lost 4 pounds this week, but i didn't expect much with all the stress and my Aunt Flow showing up. Hoping things will look up next week. Still very tired but i just started my iron  and B12 yesterday hope that helps.  I've come to the mental block that food is a pain in the ass. I hate to eat now there is no joy in it anymore. But that is what i wanted in the first place. Now im just trying to find the few items that hellp me get all my protein in and do my best to get all the water in too. I really need to get my butt to the gym but i can barley stand to get all my housework done in shifts. Oh and the insomnia doesnt help either. Can't wait till school starts next week so we can get some kind of structure back in our lives..... Hope everyone else is doing great.
