14 WEEKS OUT

Dec 16, 2008

And the band played on......

I am now a little over 14 weeks out. I have had many downs but they don't compare to the ups. Is this me...then I gotta pinch myself or just keep staring at pictures to make sure some alian has not taken over and shift-shaped my body...lol. I'm feeling good these days. I've always thought of myself as a Diva but now I am the definition of a Diva in everyway. I set my goals small to not discourage myself and have been meeting those goals little by little. The first goal was to be under 319...I bout cried when I met that goal. I don't remember being under 319 even in high school...as a matter of fact when I first lost weight after high school I was 319.

My next goal was to be under 300....I am proud to announce...drumroll please....I am 298. In 14 weeks I have lost about 73lbs. My clothes are falling off...but I don't care...I'm gonna pin and tuck till I reach about 250ish. I'ma start going by the tens now....a celebration for every ten pounds. I want to give a shout-out to my very caring doctor and the staff of Dr. Gluck...thanks you guys...I love you!

Until next time.....smooches

7 weeks out

Oct 27, 2008

So now I am about 7 weeks out. I'm not doing the best that I can when it comes to taking my vitamins but I am trying. I know that they are important for my health's sake so I really am trying. I am starting to feel a little smaller...as far as my clothes fit, and I am able to get in some items that I had stored away. I don't really see the loss on me, but apparently everyone else does. I am receiving lots of encouragement and support which is a great help right now. I have been exercising Monday thru Friday...generally in the mornings. I love exercising with the senior citizens...I feel at peace and like I don't have anything to prove. I can't stand those skinny wanches who get on the treadmill running and don't even have to progress up to the walking....I just wanna push them..LOL.

I'm doing okay though. I could stand to get more protein in but lately, I just haven't been hungry. I haven't really gotten on the scale because I don't want to be dissappointed. I may weigh once a week...sometimes every other week. I have secretly set a goal of 300 by the end of November or early December.

It's been about 4 weeks now since the last time I was able to actually chew something. I know many of you are like how can she be thinkin about chewin...LOL! It's a mental thing, especially being a mother of 2 sometimes 3 children, having a fiance, even a dog. It seems like someone is always around me chewing on something. It's not that I want something full of sugar or salt....at this point just to chew on a grape would do me good. I'm hanging in there....September 30th and on to proteins I can cook and eat and not mix and drink. Family....pray for a sista if you can get a prayer through!

Well I am now 1-week out! This has been a journey and I am unsure what to expect. I have already lost about 20lbs. I have been trying so hard to get my proteins in and have actually made up a few tasty and easy ways to do it. I'll be glad when I start feeling like me again...physically that is. My body is still pretty sore at this point and I have had more bad days then good...but it is only 1-week...lol...yeah I'ma  big baby!
