It's progress! on December 27, 2007 1:44 pm
One day in a row for exercise!!! Okay . . . so it's a start right? I went to the gym and exercised on the elliptical machine for one hour, I always feel great after exercise then . . . I end up missing a day or two and POOF! I'm not exercising again! I will really, really, really try to stick with it this time!
 I just need to make it a habit (kind of like weighing myself he he)  I don't seem to have any difficulty doing that on a daily basis! So . . . I will try, it's all I can do . . .and hopefully I will be able to succeed this time - I do have a day in a row riding on this!!

How to lose more weight in less time! on December 27, 2007 7:03 am
I wish I knew??? I feel like I'm kind of stuck at 70 pounds lost, it's not that I'm not happy with the weight loss, but . . . it just seems like it's sooooo s-l-o-w right now, maybe with Christmas over things will get better? I know that I need to exercise more and I do plan to step up my gym time and also I think I could eat alot better. I have been trying to eat more protein and not snack between meals, but . . . it's not been the easiest over Christmas. I guess I could look on the bright side and acknowledge that I haven't gained during Christmas and have actually lost a pound or two - but it just seems like it should be more!

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care . . . I feel so good today, my cold isn't as bad and I have accomplished many things today! I have my Christmas presents all wrapped and I have a semi-clean house and supper in the crock pot - life is good  . I do however have a couple of presents left to purchase, but for now it feels great to be caught up!! It's also a lovely day outside and I should go out and enjoy the weather, but . . . I haven't done that yet, instead I decided to catch up with my OH family which has been very therapeutic. I plan to go to the gym tonight with my husband, so will get my exercise in there instead of outdoors.

I'm sick, I have a cold AGAIN on December 18, 2007 6:37 pm
I have a cold again . . . I had one exactly one month ago and I have my period as well - oh what joy to be a woman! I wonder if the colds have anything to do with me having surgery? I rarely was sick before and I am taking my supplements, but . . . ??? I have been having really busy days at work and have been working lots of extra hours so that could also be part of the problem - I think I am just worn down. I have not been able to go to the gym as much as I would like to here lately either and I have decided that I am just going to have to take time out and schedule myself "gym time" daily (as soon as I feel better that is)

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow . . . on December 14, 2007 8:06 am
Hard to believe, but tomorrow is my 4 month surgiversary - where does the time go? I remember thinking that I would never get over that "feeling crappy" stage where I couldn't eat, I couldn't drink water, and was tired all the time, but hey . . . look at me now!! I have lost 68 pounds as of this morning and I am very proud of this accomplishment, but then there is that small part in my brain saying . . .shouldn't you have lost more by now? Look at all the others who have lost more! Are you sure this is going to work? blah blah blah, but then I also think of all the WOW moments I have had, I can wear a size 14 pants/jeans, down from a size 24! My tops are extra large instead of 3X and tight. I fit into chairs better, I walk faster and am told to slow down at times for others to catch up! I have more energy, I am not controlled by food! I have had people that don't know about my surgery comment on my weight loss (so I know it's noticeable to others)! I'm sure there are many more WOW moments to come (there better be ). | Leave a comment.
