Back to Classes 6/1/09

Jun 06, 2009

I managed to go thru the classes again this past Monday and actually....learned alot more new things from the last time.   I learned some about lap band and find it rather interesting....Have to find out what the dr.thinks is best for me.  Still gonna be hard to change bad habits But....i can no longer waste anymore time!  Its flying by and I'm missing out!!! This week I've been sticking with the diet plan (1200 calories) and the day time sure is easier than the night time!   I find the not drinking with meals a tad tougher than I remembered as well.  Love to hear from all of you and give me the motivation I so....urgently need to get my WLS date!

Send me a shout if you get a chance

Back on Track!!!

May 09, 2009

Met my new Dr. on Wed and the appt was good - I need to go back thru orientation and lifestyle classes - But...I was also able to meet with the dietition and she was great!  I need to lose 35 lbs to get scheduled and the dr said I have a shot at this year - its all up to me - I got a new meal plan and really need to get out and excercise  Please let the excercise god's help me motivate!!!!!  This time around its a tad different - I needed to do alot of blood work (more than ever) and my vit d levels are low....so...i'm getting some additional d for the next 8 weeks (sure been tired lately....anyone know if its connected?)  My ekg and chest xrays were a ok (thank goodness)  I'm asking all my OH friends to please keep me in your prayers and thoughts and keep me motivated....I'm tired of being lazy and fat!!!  I really need to get on the losers side for me!!!!  

Last few years have been tough as I had been focusing on our finances (having money would make things alot easier) But...now that i'm able to focus on me....i need too & plan too!!!  I just picked up all my vitamins at Kaiser and have orientation on 5/18 - Nothing is going to get in my way this year!!!  Love to hear from you all and thanks for listening!!!

Happy Saturday!!!!

Feb 02, 2008

Another week has gone by...and it has been pretty good for me!!  I've managed to stay on plan & feel real good about things - Should be down some wt but....don't really know as I do not have a scale - Next on my list is purchase one.  Anyone know which one is a good one? (not to expensive?)

My appt last week with my hubby was awesome (cannot believe I'm actually saying that) but...it went soooooooooooooo well and it may have even brought us closer Anyways...my dr is great and now hubby knows what foods are good  and or bad for my sucess.  I've been drinking a protein drink in the morning blended like a milkshake with a banana and It is rather tasty!!!   I need to do some more searching cuz ...I know I should be drinking one with more protein - (this one has 29 grams of P and 7 grams of fiber) but...its a start - Only complaint to myself is....the usual....no excercising yet!!!  My bike is coming inside  (from the cold garage) my hubby wants me to get the laundry completed from my room so he can put the bike in there - We did alot of work today...which again...is a start from the usual lagging that I tend to do on the weekends.  I cannot believe how much better I'm feeling as of late?   Sure hope I stay this way...When I'm down or sad or stressed....i just basically shut down and we all know that is no good for anyone!!!!  Well... tomorrow is superbowl and I have no plans on pigging out!!!  Just gonna watch the game @ home and luckily have no funky foods in the house to pig out on!! (a total relief) !!

Anyways....to all my OH friends (some new some old) thanks soooooo much for being there to support me!!!  I would be soooooo lost if I did not have this tool to vent and chat and learn!!!  

Have a great weekend and great week as well!!!  Give me a shout out should you feel like chatting!!!

Next Appt W/Hubby on 1/28 = YIKES!!!

Jan 26, 2008

As I mentioned earlier.... i have an appt with the dr on Monday and this time she wanted me to bring my husband - (married 18 years...together 22), one would say.....hey what's the big deal ....alot of married couples do everything together....And yes....we used too!!!!  But....as I got bigger I guess I sort of just drifted away in a weird way.....I really do not open up like I should and OMG what if I actually cried in front of him -or worst yet...what if he really new what i weighed!!!       Anyways....I guess you can say I have issues and I know alot of us do & I'm gonna get over them!!!!  

As far as the week went....I did fairly well on the diet plan ....my hubby made my lunch all week for work and I did well with keeping to the 1200 plan - and tried real hard to spread my meals out by about 4 hrs and totally stepped up the protein and I have to say....I was not as hungry as I had been - Oh...BTW the water was a easier last week as I found crystal light in the travel pouchs and  most of the days I drank between 50 & 68 oz

Its been raining all week and I did not excercise at all - My goal for tomorrow is have my hubby bring my bike inside and start  moving - that is the hardest part....moving when really I feel like reading or typing on the computer or watching a movie....but..... I need to remember my goals and get this weight off so I can get a scheduled date!!!   

All for now and thanks for listening!!!   Hope you all have a great week!!

It's been awhile!!!! (soooooooooooo sorry)

Jan 20, 2008

To all of my friends.....I'm very sorry I have not been updating my blog - I've been hanging out in the closet again  - I tend to run away when I'm either stressed or trying to block everything out!!!   Thank you to my supporters who have continued to send me messages of encouragement .....my friends who never turned your backs on me - My best bud MIck (who made a visit to my house with a pedometer)  and my friend Lisa ,  Deanna,  Diana, and many more that have still continued to message me and get me motivated to get back on track!!!   

Its a New Year and I'm trying to remember my goals - WLS date needed so I can get my life back - Next week its another appt with the dr and this time she wants me to bring my hubby ....I need the help and support from my family as  I've been trying to do it by myself- I've started eating healthy this past week and started walking @ lunch as well - Need to step up the steps and bring my bike inside for more excercising !!

I really do appreciate any/all advice and support - I'm gonna get there....its just taking me a tad longer than I had hoped!!!!  Please drop me a message..... and again....thanks to all my friends @ OH ....you have really helped!!!!

donna

I'm back for good!!!

Sep 30, 2007

I have not posted in a while as I've been too busy having a pity party with myself!!!! Now that its over....I'm hear to say.....I'm back for good!!!  I got myself all wrapped up in yearend at the job and lost sight of my goals.  Reminder to myself ......good things happen to good peeps and I'm good and deserve WLS!!!    

I tend to run and hide when I'm down in the dumps as I do not want to be a downer for everyone else.  However.....what I forgot is .... I do have many friends and I should have let them step in and set me straight!!!  Unfortuately, for me I skipped my last class on mindful eating as I was afraid to be down and quiet.....What I missed was all my new friends sharing stories and being there for each other and I should have been there too!!!   (Sorry to Cheryl....Yolanda....Shirley....Liz....and Mary)

After chatting with one of my best friends in GA yesterday....he reminded me to stay focused and not to be too hard on myself.  So I lagged for two weeks....basically get over it and get moving.   This week is bring lunch to work and walk at lunch.....drink plenty of water take vitamins as required and walk at night with my new walking partner (my aunt) I'm gonna get to that losers bench one way or another....and honestly....I'm sooooooooooooo ready for change!!!  For freeing myself from feeling like I need to hide out instead of enjoying life!!! (I'm way to young to miss out on everything life has to offer, for me and for my kids)

To all my OH friends....thank you so much for all your support....everybody has been wonderful and I'm gonna do this too!!!!    Preopt & postopt we are family now....and I'm thankful that my bud from GA....told me about this site. (love ya Mick..your the best!!!!!)  

A special shout out to....Deanna who I have so much in common with and we have become fast friends...you are awesome girlfriend and we will get there together!!!   Yvonne....your messages and blogs have been very motivating and up lifting....I only hope I can be as kind as you are and give back  as you have....you are sooooooooooooo beautiful inside and out....something to be very proud of !!!!  (thank you)

Thanks for listening.....We will win this battle!!!!
