What am I doing?

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 19:15:00 -0800

Tonight, I'm just bashing my head against the wall (not literally). My mood was brought on by no movement on the scale, bad food choices, comments by family and my own stupidity!

Thanksgiving didn't go the way I had hoped. First, I tried to eat healthy, but the turkey was making ...

Reality Bites!

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 06:30:00 -0800

Flat out, I'm depressed today. Blame it on the weather or blame it on my weight loss. It's a rainy day (which always means a bad hair day for me), and I've gained more than a couple pounds. I'm back at 214. It started with my Florida vacation, went through ...

Ramblings of a Sick Woman

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:55:00 -0800

I barely have enough energy to sit upright, yet, I'm going to try to get my profile up-to-date... hey, it's more fun than what I'm supposed to be doing!

On the 17th, my family and I headed out on vacation. We packed picnic foods to eat during the serval day drive. The ...

How is detox going?

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:24:00 -0700

My weight has been stalled for more weeks than I care to mention. I have strayed from good eating and exercise, and I'm facing the consequences!

Over the last couple of days, I've been working to detox my body - get rid of the carb cravings and severly limit non-protein, ...

Plateau or just bad eating?

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:23:00 -0700

I've been jumping around 214 - 220 for many, many weeks now. It seems that I will NEVER get below 214. It's frustrating, but it may just be my own fault! I started sampling goodies and then it took over. I was obsessed with baking and cooking... and picking out ...

I gave in (not what you might be thinking).

After trying on a gazillion different shapes and sizes of bras and posting about my woes on the message board, I finally went to Victoria Secret and got fitted. Before kids, I was a 38B. Then I went up to a 44C after kids (and lots of weight gain). After ...

Lab Update - 9 Months

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:47:00 -0700

Yesterday, I received my 9 month lab results from my PCP office. They indicated that my lab results were "about the same as last time".

Today, I decided to call the dietician at HBC to see what she had to say about my labs. Becky returned my call and told ...

In a better spot today

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:43:00 -0700

Ok, so to admit... I weighed myself later in the day yesterday. I knew today the scale would be better... and it was. I have gained more like 2 pounds versus 4, but still a gain is a gain. I'm off to a good start today. I've got both a ...

I'm shocked!

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:36:00 -0700

Dang it... I've gained a couple of pounds - 4 to be exact. I'm not going to get completely freaked out though. When this happens, the right thing to do is look at what I have been doing or not doing.

Last week was a visit from Aunt Flo. That ...

9 Months

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:05:00 -0700

Thursday was 9 months post-op. What can I say? It has definitely been a journey. In December, I was so excited that I was going to have surgery. The surgery was a breeze. I was up and walking in no time and didn't really have any pain. The first couple ...
