I am at 208.8 pounds today. I can fit into a size 18 pair of jeans...same size shirt, I guess...large scrubs. 
Awesome thing is that I can shop in the regular department now. HOT DAMN!!
The jogging is not going so well. Since I hurt my knees at Rocky Neck jogging with the crocs on, it has been harder for me to do it. I am really pissed at this. I never should've done that. You have to wear the proper shoes. Oh well. I will get it back. I have to. I just enjoyed it so much.
Allergies have been kicking my ass. I have this post-nasal drip and it is making my head feel loopy and sapping me of energy. I haven't taken anything for it yet. I don't really know what one is supposed to take for this. Sudafed? I have to ask someone because I feel really crappy.
The fund-raising for the JDRF walk has gone well. I have over $600 pledged. I have half of that collected already. Not too shabby. I am sick of asking people for money, though.
I really need to do something with myself. I am bored and complacent. I just sit here and go to stupid websites all day. What a waste. Idiot.
Tuesday night bible study has started back up again. I was glad for that. We are still working our way through Acts. Sometimes I wish we would move on to something else, like a more topic-oriented study, but my spirit is still refreshed anyways from examining Acts. I wish I could be there this Sunday because they will be letting us know about the new Sunday School offerings, but I have to work a double. If not, I would have tried to get out early for that.
All is going well as far as after-effects of the surgery. Still no problems digesting things. I take about half of my vitamins. Not good. My protein intake hovers at around 40gr a day. Not good enough. Water intake is around 40oz. Not good enough. Weight is coming off slower than I ever imagined, but that is good enough.
One nice thing about the allergy problems is it takes away my appetite. My allergies helped nudge me below 210 today. I am EIGHT POUNDS AWAY FROM ONE-DERLAND! HOLY CRAP!!!

I went to Rocky Neck State Park on Tuesday and had a great time..yeah, all by myself! I swam in the ocean for 15 minutes, sunbathed for an hour, swam another fifteen minutes, and then I hiked/jogged on the trails for about 45 minutes. Besides being mauled by the mosquitoes, I really enjoyed myself!
Even though I have really picked up exercising lately, my weight is not really moving. I don't think I lost anything this week. I don't care too much, I guess. I am pleased as punch with my new weight and looks and health.
I have noticed that my hair started falling out a week or two ago. It mostly does it when I am washing my hair. I pull my fingers away and I have a web of hair tangled in them. Hopefully, the situation will not get too nasty. eck!
I am going to be walking for JDRF on September 30th. I have over $400 in pledges and have collected around $170. It is the only walk that my company participates in. They even match the donations which is very cool. They may be sorry they ever decided to do that by the time I am done with them. I am aiming for $500, but I may surpass that very soon.
I had another impaction a few days ago. I wasn't so terrible. Just kinda terrible. Yeah, it sucks. Thanks, milk of magnesia. I need all the help I can get.
Also, cansomeone please tell me how a grown woman with an above average IQ and an honor society plaque (yeah, me) cannot even manage a damn checkbook??! What a pain in my ass. It's a major project, I tell ya!

Hello! Life is good. I have been very run down for over a week now, but I am hoping that will go away. I am just so freakin' at peace now that I have lost a bunch of weight. I look at my avatar and I barely know who that woman is. It is so strange.
The jogging has been going pretty well. I can go longer and longer everyday. I am up to doing around 200 paces before I need to switch back to walking. I love seeing how it goes up all the time. Sometimes I just start cheering and pumping my fists in the air right out there on the street. It just feels so good to see this accomplishment. Also, I know it os all me achieving the new cardio endurance...not my surgeon. I feel like running outside right now, and seeing if I can go even further today. I just may.
There issomething about jogging that just makes me feel like a normal human being. I can finally just do something NORMAL that I couldn't do when I was MO. I love it.
I was going to go the beach today, but I was passed out on the couch for a while. I have a double shift coming up in two days, so I guess it is good idea to catch up on any sleep I can. I have been feeling so weird and sickly lately that I am pretty worried about how I am going to make it through a 17-hour shift that includes a whole lot of walking and concentrating on getting a needle in a 90 year-old's spider veins (while fending off his/her punches and threatening to kick me in the teeth...seriously). The worst thing about my job, though, is the constant bullshit complaining that I have to listen to as soon as I walk in the room. It is the doctor that orders all the bloodwork. Are they going to swear at him, though? Of course not...just shoot the lackey messenger. Sometimes I get so sick of the drama. I wish everyone was given about 5mg of Ativan an hour before I had to walk in the room. Yeahyeah, I am not the queen of compassion. That is why I am a labtech and not a nurse. I am not in patient care for a reason. I have a low threshhold for kvetching and misdirected wrath.
I am really wanting to sign up for some sort of physical class. There is a Christian-owned karate studio I am thinking about. Or I may join the Y. I am thinking it would be better to be actually learning something, though. Is karate something worth learning? Or is it pointless, self-indulgence? I do like that I found a martial arts school that will not try to slip some Buddhist garbage in with my ass-kicking training. I watched a video of the sensei at competition and I thought he looked kinda dorky doing his thang, though. I don't want to strive to look dorky! I need to do something with myself, though. I just sit on my ass all day.
I ordered all these beautiful clothes from Roaman's that were 1X. Everything is too big. I don't know what to do with myself. I got a large sweater, but that is a bit too big. Is it just that that company runs bigger or am I really out of plus sizes? It is just confusing to even fathom that. I do fit nicely into a misses 16/18 from walmart.. I think I am in 18 jeans now. I will have to go to the store and figure this out. I should be happy, but I think it is just happening too quick for me to wrap my head around it.
I just had a Lean Pocket Sausage and Pepperoni thingy. It was so damn cheesy and good! yummmmm
On the opposite spectrum of yumminess is Healthy Choice frozen dinners. Their mac-n-cheese is completely disgusting. Their pizza looks good, but tastes like a rubbery chewtoy. I will stick with the lean cuisine.
Stop the presses! I actually had a bm two days ago without medicinal intervention! Go shorty..it's your birthday!
A chicken wing takeout place just opened up under my apartment a week ago, and I have not eve thought about ordering from them. what is wrong with me? Soon...I will cave. bwahahahahaaaa

It has been so cool in Connecticut the last couple of days. Unfortunatey, I have also been feeling like crap the past couple days. I think it is allergies. It started with a post-nasal drip on Monday, then just a general fruity-headed feeling, muscle aches, headaches, bruning stomach.
Today, it was pouring outside, and it felt to amazing to be able to jog to my car to keep dry. I was barely huffin when I made it to my car. How friggin cool. I am beginning to feel like a normal healthy young person. My ability to run now never ceases to amaze me.
Weight was 213 this morning.
I went to the scrub store below me, and I saw some cool shirts. I picked up a couple. They are large. I bet it won't take too long before I am in mediums. I was almost afraid to buy the larges. There is still a Snoopy camp/military one that I would love to have, but it is 25 bucks!! I tried dropping hints at my mom's, but we'll have to see. Chances are, she will surprise me with it. We'll see...
I hope I feel better tomorrow. I have felt so run-down and crappy for a week now. This stinks. Lord, I hope better times are on their way.

I am coming off one of my stalls with a vengance. Seems like not much was coming down in the weight department. I am wieghing in at 215 now, though, That's fifty-five pounds vamoosed!
Time to get some three-month-surgiversary pics up, huh?
My eating is fairly well-controlled nowadays. I keep myself in check and start again fresh when I find myself being stupid again.

Well, the milk of mag works freakin' miracles! It did nothing with the first dose, so I had to take another one. I thought I was going to be in bigtime trouble, but it did the trick and just liquified everything. Eight days with no action and I still managed to survive.
My weight has not been going anywhere lately. That is okay for now. I have been eating more carb-y snacks lately and upping my calories more than I should. I will get back on track and get my h2o intake back up again. I am going to beat the heck out of myself for getting a bit offtrack. I know why it happened and I will simply move on and start fresh.

I went to the beach for the first time in over a decade! 
I really had a good time. I went by myself, and I loved it. It's a trek, though and the parking was five bucks. I can't afford to shell out dough for that all the time, so hopefully I will grow out of being in love with it! I may go tomorrow, though. Not so sure I liked Hammonassett, though. I might check out an alternative. I think there are ones that don't charge for entry, also. There are less amenities, but I don't need that stuff. I don't want to stay that long anyway. It was cool, and I am glad I felt comfortable wearing my swimsuit in front of all those peeps. Lovin' Life!

I missed quite a few days of posting because I have been having some net connection problems. I weighed in at 217.2 today.
I have not exercised in a while. Don't know how I got out of the habit, but I did. I think it started when I began working on getting my new car. I got a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am on Friday, August 3rd. It is a thing of true beauty. It is tricked out and I love it to death!! It will be my first time making car payments and I will do whatever I have to. I am thinking of taking on a second job. Or, I may just try to pick up more hours at work. It is easy right now, but it won't always be, so I think a second job would be a safer idea. The Christian radio station is looking for a clerical assistant. The hours would be sooo perfect for me, so I may look into that. Although, for the next month at work, I have already secured about 400 bucks net in overtime. There's no way I could keep getting away with that, though. It would also be so cool to work at WIHS, too. That is the only station that I listen to. It is five days a week, four hours a day. That's tough, though. I have really got to think it over. I will just send my resume and see what comes of it for now.
I have been snacking a bit during the past couple of days. I have to cut that out. Yesterday, I went a bit overboard on some sugarfree jelly beans. Today, I had a bit too many AllBran Crackers. They are not really bad mistakes, but they are a waste of calories. That's for sure.
Quiche Recipe I am keeping on this site for future use:
