3 eggs
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tartar
3 oz. cream cheese
1 pkt of Splenda


Preheat over to 300 degrees.

Separate the white and yolks of the eggs in separate bowls.

In bowl with whites add a pinch of cream of tartar and mix until whites are stiff.

In bowl with yolks, add cream cheese, dash of salt, and splenda. Mix.

Take yolk mixture and fold SLOWLY into egg white mixture.

On a Pam-sprayed cookie sheet spoon 6 mounds, carefully flattening a bit.
Bake for 25-30 min. (my oven took 25). Put on cooling rack to cool and then place in a ziploc bag for storage.

I think the key to them coming out right is to fold really slowly so as not to take the fluff out of the egg whites.

What you are feeling is completely normal. I think that we all go through the what if's and what have you. But we cannot live our lives that way wondering what if.Normally, those what if's are negatives, and you could be sabatoging something(surgery) that could be a life changing thing for you. 

You were saying that you have to say good bye to food. Yes, food has always been there whether its to celebrate, if you're sad, happy etc. But this "friend" has also brought you years of self loathing, misery. Do you really want to continue in the vicious cycle of self destruction with food. 

With surgery, perhaps you will be able to have that happy medium, where you are still able to live life just not in huge quantities like you were able to in the past. I think the thing that makes it different this time-in that I will NOT gain the weight back is that I am truly working on the issues that caused me to be overweight in the first place. I am actually allowing myself to feel whereas before all I had to do was shovel down a box of donuts. With restrictions, certain things are taken away from you that will make you more successful than in the past. 

You will love the sleeve. Yes, it truly does make you feel satisfied. I know that I am in the "honeymoon" phase as people call it. But honestly I have worked my hiney off and that gives me a great sense of accomplishment knowing that I could have chosen to stuff my sleeve with twinkies but chose not to. I guess this time around, I feel empowered. I feel like I am the one in control now. 

Now dont get me wrong, I still have head hunger, I stil want to eat the things that I did in the past. I just think that I have ate enough of such and such to last a lifetime. Most of the times the things that I want never taste as good as what I think they will taste like, and that nothing tastes as good as being thin and healthy. 

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger.

Well, I have this disgusting habit of biting my nails,and I'm trying to quit. So I put on some no bite stuff.In the bag with the nail stuff was an old ring that could hardly fit into my pinkie, and now it fits on my ring finger!! I'm so thrilled because my fingers have been looking pretty bare. Now I can wear jewelry again. Yay!!

Weight is good. 191.5. I really dont know if I am going to make 170 by next appt with Dr. Cirangle but I'ma try.. lol

Good morning world,

Today I was a lazy girl, and slept in until 10. Ah well, thats what I get for staying up for extra cardio

Yesterday, we went grocery shopping and I was looking at the cost of almond flour. Boy, is that expensive!! I opted for soy flour, which had 10 grams of protein in it. I dont intend to use it on a regular basis, but when I do have a certain recipe, it will come in handy.

I'm craving a nice cup of coffee with vanilla protein in it. Yesterday, we went to GNC and got a big unflavored whey protein, and a vanilla protein for 20 bucks. It was on sale, and I had the gold card as well. We then went to starbucks and I had a small skinny latte. It felt so good in my stomach. I love warm things in my stomach.

Today I have so much laundry to do. I've been slacking in that area. I'm going to get my exercise in today for sure. The scale is bouncing between 196-197, and I know its my body adjusting. Exercise will ensure that if the scale doesnt move, at least the inches will right lol.

Anyways, hope everyone has a good day today!


My food for today:
Breakfast-Coffee with a scoop of protein in it
Lunch-leftover eggs with cut up hotdog in it(2 oz)
dinner-taco salad(lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, ff sourcream, salsa, hamburger meat)(2 oz)
snack-protein shake made with water

Vitamins-check

exercise-check. Good Lord, I went walking with the dog outside and there is a huge hill. I have never been able to make it up that hill, but today I decided to challenge myself, and I made it. Yay!!! I walked for a good hour, and came back nice and sweaty. I got a good workout and so did the pooch. Very proud of myself today.

Hello world,
Todays plans are to clean, clean, and clean. Ugh.. I hate cleaning. Ah the joys of being a housewife. I cant wait for my son to turn five so he can go to kindergarten.

Preschools in Hawaii are outrageous! OMG! You would think that a religious preschool would be more expensive, but in fact it's cheaper. How funny. Once he turns five, my ass is going back to work and entering the adult world. I can't wait.

Today's weight was 197.5. I think my body is adjusting to the weight loss because I have been bouncing between 196-197. I know that I am doing everything that I am supposed to so I have no need to feel upset. It is just my bodies way of being a butthead, I guess.

Oh, I also am seeing a endocrologist now, and will find out the results in a month about whether or not I have hypothyroidism. Gee, maybe that would explain why I can be the most emotional, bitchy, happy, person in the whole world

Food for today:
Breakfast-cup of coffee with a scoop of protein powder(25 grams protein, 2 carbs)
Lunch-1/2 mozzarella stick with lite ranch and hotsauce, 2 slices of deli shaved turkey
Dinner-
Snack-

Today it was very hard for me to get food in because of the fact that I had taken my vitamins and supplements prior and that filled up alot of room in my stomach. Today we have some running around to do. I have to go drop off my urine jug, I know TMI but the endocrologist needs it to make sure I have accurate results and what have you.

I'm going to get in my walk/jog today. I might take the dog with me. She absolutely loves being outside. Yesterday, I did strength training. Hmm.. I wonder if that could be a reason for the rise on the scale.Eh, who cares. My life isnt' governed by a number anymore.

My clothes are fitting!! WOOT WOOT!! My size 16's are getting saggy in the butt. Thats a good thing. I was scared at first to try on my jeans since its been forever since I tried them on because I had gained weight, but now they're a-ok.

Well, I've been in onederland hundreds of times in my life, but this time I think its safe to say that theres no turning back.I woke up to the scale being 198.5. I've been losing about a half a pound a day. I am sure that eventually I will come to a stall but I can only try and continue on the right path. There have been some days where I had a piece of dark chochalate. Whats amazing to me is that I can have a piece, and be satisfied. It doesnt set off cravings for me to eat the whole house up.It really is true that your tastes change after surgery. I feel so grateful to have had this surgery. 

I've decided that I am going to track my food and water here as well as in my journal to keep me accountable. 

Water-96 ounces of water
2 oz shirataki tofu noodles with an egg cooked in it
protein bullet with chrystal lite
diet swiss miss hot chochalte with one scoop of protein powder in it.
2 sf popsicles

My period is over and I am at 202.5!!I am so happy. I can tell that I still get cravings from t.o.m. Yesterday I had some tea and put four marshmallows in it. OMG it was soo good. It didnt hurt my stomach but it all came out, put it that way. 

Today I move to mushies!!! YAY!!! I woke up and had a cup of coffee with 25 grams of protein in it. When I am more hungry I will try a hard boiled egg. Woo hoo I cant wait!!

Yesterday flo came to town and this is the first time that I did not gain weight, nor did I binge or overeat!! That is awesome!!! Weight was 204 which is fine with me, I maintained, and its alot better than gaining. I have noticeed that this time around I am bleeding heavier and that I am breaking out on my face. That normally NEVER happens. Hmm weird..
