    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Time for an update
posted on 1/1/08 9:44 pm
Well the holidays are over and I can say I did really well food wise.  I enjoyed the feasts with my family, but stuck to my nutrition plan and program.  I stuck with my exercising with the exception of a few days that I spent 10-12 hours out shopping.  

As of today I have lost 76.4 pounds and I feel great.  Hubby says my face is really looking different.  He glanced at my driver license picture in my wallet and stopped in mid sentence and said wow what a difference already.  That made me smile from ear to ear, the check out lady in the store gave us an odd look, but that is ok.  : -)

My current weight is 221, I am just chomping at the bit to hit onderland,.....so close, bet yet it seems so out of reach.  

I am packing up more and more of my clothes as they are really getting big and sloppy looking.  I am going to try on a set of my scrubs and see how they fit......just for a good giggle and more inspiration.....I haven't had them on since April 2007 because I am staying at home and knocking out my classes for my RN.  The scrub sizes are 4x bottoms, and 4-5 x tops.  I am wearing a 18-20 shirt now and 20 or 22 jeans, depends on the brand.  Down from a shirt size of 30/32 and pant size 28.  I guess I am a progress in work.

I feel great, I have no problem getting in my protein....if you have seen some of my posts lately....I actually asked if one could get in too much protein.  I can easily get in 60-70 grams with my meals as I choose to eat meats, fish, cheese, high protein pudding and I still drink 1-2 shakes a day.  I don't mind them at all, I use Muscle Milk Light or Unjury, and it helps me get in the fluids as well, so it is a win win deal.

I switched from the Citracal creamy bites a little over a month ago, I got so tired of the flavors.  I now use the powdered calcium citrate called UpCal D.  3 packs a day gets me the 1500 mg.  Still taking my Flinestone's chewables, I don't love them, but I don't mind them.  I knew there would be things I would have to learn to live with in order for this surgery to work for me before I went under, and I made the committment and plan on sticking with it.  Hey whats a little gritty taste every day in exchange for a healthier and thinner me???

For the first time in years, I am looking forward to what the new year will bring my way.  It is such a refreshing outlook, I am once again loving life.

Hope everyone is doing well, and I wish everyone a wonderful and very Happy New Year.

Missy
