Its been a while

Jan 21, 2012

Well, its been a while since I wrote, but what an adventure it has been lately!!!

A couple of things...

I am down 94.3 pounds since 3/21/11, and went from a size 38 to a 26 - 28... depending on the style. I love wearing smaller clothes, and my son told me this morning that the clothes I was folding were MUCH smaller than my old ones, lol... 

On a sadder note, my 11 year old son has been hospitalized for the third time with BiPolar disorder problems. He has struggled for years, and recently started hurting himself and being very unco-operative. He has struggled for a couple of months, and we decided it was time for him to go back to the hospital. They are changing all of his meds around, and hopefully will keep him a couple of weeks before sending him back home. I am saddened that we had to come to this level of care again. It sucks!

As for me, I am still losing weight... some weeks, 1 pound, others, 5 pounds. It depends on my exercise, protein and how well I follow my plan. I havent been eating like I should, as I have been stressed. It used to be, when I got stressed, I ate - now, I cant eat. I get sick if I eat when I am stressed. I havent been getting my protein in like I should either. I am hoping that changes soon, and I can get it all in every day. Part of the problem is that my NUT doesnt want me to use protein shakes at all - I have to use them, or I cannot get in my protein each day. Here is a typical day for me:

B - Yoplait Light Yogurt at 8:30 (8g of protein), protein bar at 10:30 (8g of protein)
L - Chicken on a wheat wrap (about 20g of protein)
D - Meat of some sort, and veggies (15g of protein)

Total protein averages about 51g of protein... I was told a minimum of 60-75g of protein, so I have some work to do. 

I am in 3X clothes, and have tons of clothes in this size, which is great! I havent worn them in years, and I LOVE wearing them again! I can almost wear size 24's, and cant wait to drop more and more sizes! My goal is to be lower than a 20 by summer! I have rented a house in Maine in July, and would love to wear a 14/16 there!! That would be awesome!! Being under 200 by then would be great too!! 

Goals:
** Be under 300lbs by February 1st
** Be in a size 24 by Valentines Day
** Be under 250lbs Easter time
** Be able to wear a bathing suit to the ocean in July

I will keep you posted on how my progress towards these goals go!!
