get healthy by eating less and exercising more.

Man, this is getting difficult. I guess it has taken 7 months for me to truly accept the new me, the new diet, the new sizes, the new life! I want to stay so busy enjoying life that it's even becoming difficult to continue to detail my journey even though I enjoy helping the newbies on their way, as well as a journal for me to remember the journey. The good news is that I'm super single again and the greater news is that I know longer have to be concerned about a LOSER! As far as the real news, weight loss has slowed down considerably. I think a 5lb month is a great month. I also know that I have to take more responsibility in my WL success. I HAD been dropping pounds hand over foot through NO EFFORT of my own, so now I see that if I want to reach my goal of 150lbs, I have to work at it! Luckily, I'm less than 30 lbs from that point. I try to stay up on the vitamins and I'm trying to get in more water, but I'm sad to say that I recently discovered I can eat candy! I MEAN EAT CANDY! The thought scares the crap out of me because my surgery comfort food had been Chili from  Wendys! So I pray that next month I won't be saying how I've started to gain weight!So here's to another month and more good news! Until next time...

SHORT NOTE: I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MY DOCTOR. HE WAS PLEASED TO TELL ME THAT MY BLOOD WORK WAS PERFECT. HE EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TELLING ME THAT HE NEVER GET'S TO TELL ANYONE THIS NEWS SO KEEP DOING WHAT I'M DOING. SO WHAT AM I DOING:
1. VIACTIV OR CENTRUM SILVER CHEWABLE MULTIVITAMIN - 1-2X DAILY
2. VIACTIV OR CITRACAL CHEWY BITES FOR CALCIUM- 1-2X DAILY
3. SPRING VALLEY B-COMPLEX SUBLINGUAL LIQUID - BI-WEEKLY
4. CARLSON CHEWABLE IRON - 1-2X DAILY

BUT SINCE WE ALL CAN'T BE PERFECT, I DO HAVE TO WORK ON MY PROTEIN INTAKE. I ONLY LIKE DRINKING TEA, SO UNTIL I CAN FIND A GOOD TEA FLAVORED PROTEIN DRINK, I'M S.O.L.!!
