WOW! am I excited this morning....... Drum Roll Please......down a whopping -5 lbs!!! But not only that I have made it to the 12 century mark with a total loss of -53 12 lbs......another nice surprise for my week was I tried on some clothes last night at the local Wal*Mart and I fit into a 22-24 which is down from a size 32 at the start of my Journey.......so much to be thankful for, and I give my thanks to God for this wonderful tool and the gift of the surgeons whom he entrust with our lives to better them.
Hello again, just stopping in after yet another week. WOW! what a different kind of week I had with a 3 day weekend at the start of my week then working for 3 days and then off for another 3 days! Had a nice weekend watching hubby working on an extension to our patio which is coming along very nice :o)
We went and had some fun at the casino last night...and actually came home a few dollars ahead and believe you me that doesn't happen to often.

On another note It has been a rough week with losing 2 of our WLS family members, one to the complications of obesity and cancer, and the 2nd to complications from WLS. I know many of us feel the loss as if it was one of our own family members. I am trying to keep in mind that we all go in to the surgery knowing the risk and that we make the choice anyways... but it is still hard to swallow, life is so short love as there is no tomorrow for there may not be.

I had no food issues this week so that was good trying to remember to eat slow and chew chew chew. But it is not always an easy thing to do. I am working on getting my water in.
Weight loss this week 2 12 lbs down now a total of -56 lbs weight 222 lbs
This week I need to continue to work on getting the water in, and I am still a bad bad girl and not doing a regular exercise program.
But I did accomplish something good this week I was able to weed eat the front yard and mow it with out getting tired or winded and you can't tell me that doesn't count for exercise!!! lol last yr at this time I would have had to take 5 breaks just weed eating alone! a loss of the 50+ lbs is totally amazing! God is good..... 

Hi everyone, well another week has gone by and my journey is tending to get easier. I am not letting head hunger get the best of me, and continuing to stay on task.
It is so nice to be able to move around a little freer now, and with out so much pain. I still haven't started a routine exercise program I know shame on me.... but I did get dear hubby to take a walk with me after dinner this week. I am parking further away at the stores and taking the stairs at work, so I am adding a little more exercise to my daily schedule. The weight is still coming off this morning I weighed in at 23212 that's another 3 pounds down for a total of -4512 since surgery on 3-11-03 yeah me! I guess my 1st mini goal is set at 200 pounds a lost of -78 pounds by the time I go for my 3 mo check up with my surgeon which is scheduled for June 30th....so that's 3212 pounds to my 1st goal.... I hope I can make it!!!
2nd goal will be the century club, then I will continue to set new goals I think I will wait to achieve the 1st 2 before I set more :o)
Well I am now 2mo and 1 day post-op and am down -48 12 pounds I was really hoping to be down "50" but I just missed it!!!! oh well I am still happy with my progress, and how things are going.
I had a very exciting week... It all started out with Kim Mbodj asking me to be her angel... that was such an honor for me. I just hope I can do a good job for her... her surgery is June 2nd! I am so excited for her. I also had the opportunity to talk to Kim on the phone that too was very kewl, she sounds like a very sweet person...... I now she is excited to be on the losing side.
Mothers day was yesterday, after a long night at work I woke up to my 2 boys and their Happy Mothers day gift of a lovely amethyst heart pendant, it is lovely.
The day would have been wonderful, but my kids now mind you they are boys but they got into it within the 1st hour I was up and it kinda spoiled the day as my husband then in turn got angry too.
I went to visit my ex mother in-law as we remain very close, it was a nice visit. My mom however I missed out on as she was not home I left her a nice gift and a note, but never heard from her... I am from a large family and I am sure someone kidnapped her for the day. :o)
My mother in law lives out of town and hubby called her while I was a sleep so I missed out on wishing her a Happy Mothers Day.....but all in all and ok day.
This week I need to really focus on getting my water in and on eating my meals as I have not been getting in the requirements in either area and maybe that is why my weight has slowed down.... as I even picked up exercising last week... I am trying for at least 3x a week.so I have a few goals to shoot for and I am off to start....
