Whoo Hoo, I did it!  I have lost 50lbs.  5 weeks and 4 days since my surgery.  It felt like I was never going to get there.  This week I started walking, I bought a 5lb weight, an exercise ball and a yoga mat.

I actually rearranged my office and sitting room.  Moved a lot of big pieces of furniture, felt that the next day.  But oh feeling so much better.  Only 1 more pound till twonderland!!  I can't remember the last time I was there.  Things are only looking up and smaller.  hehe

I received a whole new wardrobe from a fellow OH member, and pretty much everything is too big already.  Wow, time to look at size 22 and 20.  I can't believe i was in a 28 - 30 just a couple of months ago.

I have so much more energy, it is crazy.  The only thing I find is I don't want to eat.  I am sort of scared to try new things.  Even the old things are hurting me.

Not sure if I had the flu the last 24 to 48 hours.  But my stomach hurts so much.  Water makes it hurt.  I was peeing out of my bum.  That has been happening since Thursday night, yesterday was rough.  I pretty much only had a sip of water and some crystal light crushed with ice.  Spent about 4 hours in bed in the afternoon.  Then I made some chicken noddle soup and had a bit of that.

I am definitely staying away from milk.  Will have to get some lactose free stuff.


Another whoo hoo.  Spring is tomorrow.

I haven't blogged in a while. Been extremely busy with work, kids and trying to stay active.  I have lost 47.1 lbs now.  Whoo hoo.  Taking it one day at a time.

I bought a 5lb hand weight, an exercise ball and a yoga mat yesterday.  Looking forward to minimizing my bat arms and gut.

I also want to start running.  So baby steps.

The scale has not been nice this week.  I lost some weight, then it added about two pounds for almost a week.  Finally it went down.  Down to 42.4lbs.  Who hoo.  Saw my surgeon this week and the dietitian.  All looks good.  The dietitian said they expect me to lose about 5 pounds a week, and they base this one the bmi.

She also suggested that I change up the way I take my protein powder and just have it with milk and not everything else.  So I started that yesterday.  And the scale moved.  So it must work.

I have been able to fit into clothes two size smaller than I started so that is very encouraging.

I also got a good nights sleep last night.  This week has been brutal on a whole.  With having this lovely chest infection.  Up most night coughing up a lung.  Then my youngest has it as well.  He is only 16 months old.  Up most nights coughing and getting sick.  Then my daughter had the stomach flu and was up all night.

But last night was good.  I feel so much better.

I tried a couple of bites of a hot dog and some caramel sundae.  Needless to say I won't be doing that again any time soon.  I was pretty much in the bathroom for about 15 minutes.  Just 2.6 pounds to 45 whoo hoo.

Got to love this.  Have a great weekend!
