2 months.. where does the time go!!
on September 18, 2007 9:37 pm

I totally missed my 2 month mark!! It just came and went like just another day!! Well as of today I am down 50lbs.. Did you read that right?? 50 lbs in 2 months.. Ill take it!! The food thing is going better.. I can finally eat chicken!! I have not tried eggs again. For some reason bread products are now making me feel really bad.. I used to eat pitas with canned chicken for lunch but not anymore and the south beach pizza's that I love!! Not anymore.. which really bums me out. SO this weekend is all about finding new foods I can eat!! Exercise is going good! I have been doing 45 min on the eliptical and 30-45 min strength training.. My arms are shapping up nicely and my legs as well.. My stomach....ughhhhh not doing much!! But the say the first place you gain weight the last place you lose weight!! How unfair is that?!! Other then that life is just peachy! Somedays I almost forget I even had the surgery.. My life is kinda almost normal!! And hey who does not want to be normal..

My only regret.... I have no preop pics nor have I taken measurments!! That part sucks.. But I will get a new pic soon!! I just really hate the camera!!!

Doctor Doctor....

Went to the Dr today for my 6 week which is actually 7 week follow up! Things look good Ive lost 43 lbs (on there scale woohoo) and 24% of my weigh... Hey cant be that! He said I was a little ahead of the game.. But I dont think so!! But hey Im not complaining about 43lbs in 6weeks but I would like to lose at least 75 by Christmas if not more.. so we will see that is 5 months and I dont see why not!! Im doing pretty good on my eating but eating carbs are much easier then eating protein. Im clear to eat whatever now.. So Im trying things slowly and see where they are going. But I diffently need to buck up and stop with the carbs.. When I say carbs I mean the 8 wheat thins with laughing cow everynight at 930pm... Not to bad but they are addicting and I dont want to go down that road.. So far my protein's are beef, fish and shrimp.. Chicken and eggs do not like me.. Which sucks but oh well.. I keep trying them about once a week in a different way but no luck! I kick some butt at the gym. I will say that I will not have any problems with skin on my arms, or thighs.. woohooo!!! My tummy well we will see.. Im sure there will be some there but you never know.. Now the girls are about gone!! Sad really but that is what they make wonderful push up bras for.. and to be honest those would be about the only thing I would have PS on.. So we will see.. It is a crazy sexy journey that is forsure...
