wt loss this week and weekly questions from amber
on February 24, 2007 8:21 pm
1. What types of food did you eat this week?

I spent more time getting fruit in this week....mostly fresh oranges, dried strawberries,apples and cranberries. I had shrimp, beef,chicken. steamed broccoli, carrots, celery(minimal). Plus my atkins protein drinks, profect.

Ive had alot of problems this week with my blood sugar falling.  Im increasing my peanut butter and skim milk intake as well.  Got to get more complex carbs...

2. What types of exercise did you do this week?

I spent 2 nights using my ab roller...I did floor exercises daily.

3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss? 4 lbs. Im down to 250. thats a total down of 144.  My bmi is now 35.5 and I cant wait for it to get below 30....I will no longer  be obese at that point..just overweight...LOL

4. What was your biggest challenge?

We had cake at work last night. I dont know if it was even really a challenge. I had a small piece...I took off all the icing...and after a few bites I threw it out...its just not the same as it used to be.
I didnt work but one night since last friday....took some days off...but when I work I love to snack on peanut butter and cheese crackers

5. How is your skin? Are you have any issues with it being too loose? Stretch marks? etc?
My skin  is really sagging.  I have to wear firm control undies all the time.  I have sound a great undergarment for the upper arm bat wings too.  I think Im probably going to have to have a tummy tuck and thights done for sure.  Might do the arms but not looking forward to the pain that comes from that.  Im trying a new cream this week...and will see how that works.  I ordered it online and it should be here mon or tues.

FIRST BIG SNOW OF 2007
on February 6, 2007 3:38 pm
Im so excited to report that I was able to shovel all my snow today. I am so grateful for this surgery. Last yr even if I had wanted to I could never have even shoveled all the snow I had today(6 inches and its still falling) off of my porch without having a heart attach. About 5pm today I went out and cleaned off my porch...felt like I could at least start on my sidewalk....thinking it would kill me (thinking about my old body) if I tried but I really wanted to try...since I love the snow and being out in it.

Well I got the sidewalk done all the way out to the street...then cleaned off the area around the car so I could get it out... started the car to warm it up then cleaned off the entire car. I wasnt even out of breathe...WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN...me doing something like that and not only living to tell about it...but still smiling. This has to be my biggest moment yet.

This mornings wt in was at 255.  The body is rapidly changing and the skin is really hanging.  My emotions have been more stable this week than they have in months.  

1. What types of food did you eat this week?
Im still stuck on the Ocharleys 3 cheese and shrimp dip and steamed broccoli and mixed veggies.  One order lasts me 3-4 meals for 11.00 .  I also started eating some dried cranberry and mixed nuts I get at Walgreens...they are really good.
2. What types of exercise did you do this week?
I do leg lifts each day when I wake up and arm exercises...still being lazy and doing them in bed...but still doing them none the less.  Also taking a couple long walks a week when Andys home

3. How much weight did you lose? Total loss?
Wt in today was 255 (bmi 36.6).  Still hoping to be below 250 for my 7 month anniversery on the 12th..but its looking like I may not make that.    Im down 4 lbs since Monday so Im not complaining however its cause its my TOM and so the water retention is passing

4. What was your biggest challenge?
Dealing with my husband moving back to Indy and his stuff all over the place.   Not knowing what hes going to be doing from day to day...since his job is ruling what he does on a daily basis things change

5. When you're ready to give up, what happens to change your mind???
Finally being able to see a difference when I look in the mirror or I get a compliment from someone that was totally unexpected.  I had one of those today from someone at work and it really did my heart and mind good!

*Fun bonus question:

If they made a movie about your life, what famous person (doesn't have to be an actor/actress) would you want to play you? 
I used to think I would like  it to be Kathern Turner but recently saw her on E entertainment and now that Im getting thinner shes old and fat...LOL  Go figure..Guess she could play the old fat me and I could play the present me...LOL
