Wow!  Everyone was right...time does fly!  I have lost 76.5 pounds since I started this journey.  Today at the grocery store I saw a lady (hairdresser at a former place I went to) and she said I had "dropped a lot of weight".  She was impressed!  LOL  It is great having the weight loss be so noticeable.  I'm looking forward to the rest of it coming off. 

I'm trying really hard to get all of the vitamins in everyday.  Eating sometimes is a challenge.  Not that there is a problem eating, it's just no desire to eat.  A tiny bit fills me up for many hours.  I eat 3 meals a day though.  I am coming to a place where the food I eat is truly for fuel for the body.  I just try to chose healthy items.

Well for now that's it.  God Bless!!!!

Today is the start of a new week for me.  I just finished filling up my medicine holder for the week.  (All of my vitamins for the week.)  Some days I do really good on taking them and others I totally forget or when I remember they are at home and I'm not.  So, beginning today I am going to take them all each day.  They are in my purse and I've already had my first multi-vitamin. 

Yesterday I went grocery shopping and was proud of myself for the items I bought.  This next week we are going to have a veggie and fruit with dinner each night. (I haven't eaten much fruit in the past.)  My hubby needs to eat healthier as well, so why not incorporate my way of eating into his?  He'll eat anything I put in front of him!

Last week was very tiring.  I went to kids camp as a counselor for 3 days and then hosted a group of 11 boys one night.  I'm still exhausted!  On top of being tired, I now have a cold. yuck!  The good thing is I felt good while I was at the kids camp.  I got tired, but it wasn't an unusual tired. 

Here are my goals for this week:  Take all of my vitamins everyday; Exercise 3 days for at least 20 minutes; Eat 3 meals every day

Well, gotta run for now.  God Bless!!!

The meeting with the NUT went well.  She wants me to exercise more.  I really want to I've just got to get my schedule down.  I did realize while I was there the vitamin I'm taking doesn't have calcium!  I think I'm going to switch to a multi vitamin for women.  Since I can swallow more liquid at a time I should be able to get it down. 

The NUT put on her sheet that my idea weight is 137!  Dr. Williams said he wanted me at 160.  I really think 160 is more reasonable for my bone size.  I was 137 when I was 14 and I was skin and bones!!!  I don't want to look sickly, I want to look and BE healthy.  Overall though she was happy with my weight loss though so all in all it was a good visit.  We talked about portions and she gave me a sample menu for someone who is 3 months out, which was helpful. 

I'm just going to keep trying to eat right and get enough liquids.  I'm also going to try harder to get the exercise in. 

I'll go back in 3 months for my 6 month check up.  I'll have my labs drawn in 2 months so they'll be ready in time.  When I go back I'm going to be able to say "I exercise 5 days a week".  That is my main goal right now.

Well, for now, that's all. 

God bless!!!
