10 Year Anniversary

Well, today is my 10 year anniversary and my husband isn't even here with me so we could celebrate! :( I did't get on the scale today, I'm going to get on Saturday. Hopefully at least one pound will be gone! Nothing exciting to report, worked out today, my body is killing me!

New Direction

Well, since I still haven't dropped one measly pound, I decided to take a different approach. I figured maybe if I start writing down everything I eat and my exercise that'll keep me focused on what is working. I went out today and got some boca burgers (loaded with protein) and some banquet chicken breasts (lots of protein too). And I got the good ol' Carnation Instant Breakfast. I know I haven't been getting enough protein and have to do something about it, so I did! I went shopping. As you'll see I added my "exercise and food log" to "Others I like to visit", so feel free to visit that one to see what I'm eating and give me any ideas. I'm posting there mainly for myself to see what I'm eating, but want to share it with others to give them ideas or to get ideas from them! My body is hurting from lifting weights today! Wow! Plus it is super duper hot here, so walking this morning kicked my butt. I didn't think I was going to make it the last block! :) Happy Tuesday!

5 Months Ago Today

It's hard to believe it's already been 5 months since my surgery. I got on the scale this morning and am sitting at 207. That's 100lbs lost since pre-op appointment on the 6th of December and 90.6lbs lost since surgery day. Although I've b een sitting at 207 for 10 days, just from April 12th until today I've dropped 14.5lbs. So, if I continue at that rate, I should be at my goal of 150lbs within the next 5 months. Hopefully that's how it will play out! Just within the last month I've lost another 2 inches off my bust, 4 inches off my waist, and 2 inches off my hips. So eventhough that scale isn't moving the way it was before, I am still shrinking in other numbers.
I have one thing I want to ask, and it's probably TMI, but who cares, I post my weight. So, has anyone had crazy periods since the surgery. I normally am always regular and today I started (I think) but I'm not suppose to start until the 23rd. Just a little curious if it's because of the change in weight or what. Up until now I've been regular this is the first time something strange has happened. Anyone who has experienced odd things let me know! :)

AAAAARRRRRGGGG

The scale won't move!!! It's driving me nuts! A whole week and not one pound lost!!! Not ONE!!! Anyways, just had to get that out! Walked over 2 miles yesterday, but didn't work out today. Really had no valid excuse, just didn't do it. Gotta get my butt in gear! Need some words of encouragement, so feel free to post! I just hate working out. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I hate it! I read blogs of people who want to become runners or hikers or whatnot and I wonder, why can't I feel that way. Why can't I want to run or exercise. What's wrong with me? Granted, I can work out for 20 minutes and not feel like I'm going to die, like I did 5 months ago, but why don't I look forward to exercising. I have things in place. Have the elliptical by the TV, so there's no "it's boring" excuse. Anyone else feel like me when it comes to exercising? Thinking about posting daily what I'm eating too. Maybe that is part of my problem. I know I don't do enough protein. Just not a meat eater, but the doctor said not to worry when I went in for my 3 month check-up.

Nothing New To Report

well, there's really nothing new to report, just thought I'd post a little something. The scale has not budged since my big day Wednesday! I'm sorta bummed, but I know hitting these slow points is normal! I just hope I can get below 200 by the end of the month. We're heading to Seattle for a visit with family and to get in some R & R! I bought a swim suit (size 16, whoo hoo). It's one of those tankinies (sp). The top is a racer back so it is so comfortable, I don't even need a bra under it (something new for a change). That was exciting! Anyways, I didn't do much of anything this weekend, actually just took it easy! That's it for today, hopefully I'll drop a few pounds and be able to post about it!

Hit the Big Milestone!

Well, today was a big day! I hit the big 100 today! Wow, 100 pounds lost in 121 days! YIKES! I can't believe I've lost that much weight! Only 57lbs to get to my "happy goal"! I'm so happy I hit that big number before 5 months! I'm expecting the next 57 will take until my 1 year anniversary. I'm trying to remind myself the loss isn't going to continue at this rate! Anyways, just wanted to share my totally awesome news! I'll be doing a new picture at my 6 month mark in June!
