Just 2 more weekends and a week in between.  I am already noticing my clothes are way to lose.  My skin seems to be glowing, all this and only 20lbs.  I can't wait for the real weight to start a fallin.  The meds to end.  The stairs easier to climb.  The reality is finally settling in.  I have wanted this for 15 year, and now in 10 more days.  It will be.  Happy Weekend everyone!

How exciting!  Only 11 more sleeps.  I am already starting to feel better.  No more heart burn, sleeping way better.  My son is actually helping me by sleeping through the night as well (well not last night, but usually).  Now on to weening him in the next 11 days.  People at school are commenting already.  Saying I look brighter and happier.  Some are even calling me skinny.  RIGHT.  Soon but not yet.  My kids are super proud of me as well.

Only 11 more sleeps.  I can do it. YEAH

Well I was having a really good day.  Then the pizza happened.  Not to happy about it.  But back on the horse I got today.  Onwards and upwards.  I also spent yesterday afternoon trying to get my financial situation in order.  Made all the right phone calls so that feels good.

Will be volunteering at school today for the kindergartens white day.  Have a few busy days, with 2 photoshoots, 2 appointments, 1 birthday party, and driving for the boys and girls club  Plus we can't forget the 2 hockey games,and  2 practices. 

I hope that everyone else has a great day. 

So 1 week down and just a little less than 2 weeks to go.  I am down 20.5 pounds.  YAH HOO.  Yesterday was really hard.  But I made it through.  This week has been really sucky so for as in life.  But I am not turning to food for the first time in forever.  If I can get through this time with a sick other half and no income at all.  I think I can do anything.  We made it through Christmas with just ui medical, and now we will have to get through with no income other than child tax credit.  It actually helps that I am on the optifast and eating out is not an option.  So my kids are getting use to the word "NO".  No we can't go to Wendy's. No we can't go to Walmart and buy a toy.  No we can't go to McDonalds.  It is pretty sad that when you do go to Walmart to pick up just the basics, that when you go back to your vehicle and realize that you locked your keys into it.  And it costs $56.50 to get it unlocked and you think that is all the money I have for a month.  And you don't sabotage yourself.  Way to go.

Yes it has been a very sucky week.  But the positive thing is I am still on my road to success.  I have been good.  I have distracted myself when I have wanted to eat with the kids.  I have picked up a deck of cards to play with my kids.  Now on to the rest of my life.

Only 13 more sleeps!  WHOO WHOO.

Well today is Tuesday and it is officially a week since I started optifast.  Down 20 pounds!  Yeah.  2 weeks left to go.  I think at the end of this process I am not going to want to ever see a slushi, shack or smoothee ever again.  Here is to a happy and healthy week 2!

So spent the weekend Thursday through Sunday with a house full of sick people.  Everyone got the flu.  That was sure fun.  I guess I lucked out as I was the only one who got it from the bottom end, and did not throw up.  Maybe because I was on the Optifast and had cleansed my body.  I only had 1 optifast and a glass of diet ginger ale on Saturday.  Was to scared to drink water and throw up.

Sunday we all awoke at 8 (well some were up way earlier and off to hockey)  The sun is shinning but super cold out!

So here it is the morning of Day 4.  I weighed myself and am 335.  Which is awesome! Down 16 lbs from the 17th which was 5 days ago. I found yesterday pretty good.  Hoping this weekend will bre just as easy as I will be out and about with real people and real food.  As well I have a photo shoot on Sunday.  I hope that I have enough energy to do everything.  I also went cold turkey with stopping all my meds.  So far so good!@  YEAH

So I had my preop appointment on Monday January 17, 2011, and had my weigh in.  At my highest 351.  Started optifast on Tuesday.  Today is Thursday January 20, 2011 and I had a shake, shower and then weighed myself naked and I weighed 335 YEAH HOO.  2 days of liquids and the results are awesome already.  Thanks for the support of the fellow OH members.
