Lets face it...I'm a lifer.  I still have lots of work to do, but I am up for it.

Its been 2 years since my last post.  I went waaaaayyyy off course to the tune of gaining 15 pounds...you read that correctly. I got up to a whopping 220 at the beginning of July. I could list all the reasons why but the main reason was that I ate a lot of junk when ever I wanted.

I was watching the show, My 600 Pound Life, and there was a lady making excuses, and she reminded me of myself.  At the end of the day its about sacrifice, and I was not making any, just world class excuses (some were real believable). I am sitting here shaking my head!

I am having my right knee repaired surgically, for the 3rd time and the last this I wanted was to have to rehab 220 pound Fay. I cried etc, and then I decided to do all liquid protein for the 2 weeks prior to surgery. I know its ambitious!  Ok I only did 5 days of complete liquids, followed by 2 days of high protein low carbs.  Thankfully it appears to have reset my sleeve.  I lost 14 pounds this past week and I feel amazing.  I am planning on another 5 day liquids, followed by 2 days of high protein low carb.

 

My surgery is scheduled for July 29th and my goal is to be back in onederland by then.  I weigh 205 this morning so I am mildly optimistic. Either way I will be in a better position to be stuck on the couch healing.  I am most excited by the fact that my cravings are under control.

 

I am hobbled, but I am no longer disgusted

Yeah I said it!  Been the same weight all year...thats good right?!?! Not quite. I have no focus when it comes to weight loss anymore. Its almost as though I dont care.

I was in a car accident (pinched nerve in neck), then my son broke his leg and was on bed rest during the school year. We are still making up school crap in July. I had epidural in my neck, it did not help, but it hurt like hell!

I said all that to say its been challenging. I learned that I am still a stress eater, I just eat less now.

They say nothing last forever...wait or is it nothing GOOD last forever?

I have been the same weight 193 all year (plus or minus 3#s).  I am eating more, regular...carby foods.  My goal call for me to lose about 30 more pounds. I plan to get there by there by the end of the year.

Here's to hoping slow and steady STILL wins the race

Fay

Yes I am still here! I post less these days. Maybe its becase my weight loss is slower (who knew that was possible).

I have to say I am in a strange place these days....

I can eat more than before. I have restrain still so I cut it off.  
I really enjoy drinking. Thankfully, I can only get 2 oz of alchol in.
Sex is all I think about (Help me Jesus- Teenaged Jesus cause he will understand)
I am still on match.com (related to sentence above)
I am extremely unmotivated, not related to weight loss. Need a new career. Looking for my mojo 


Maybe some of that is related to weightloss. Who knows. I am optimistic

So as I promised myself I made it to Onederland before Dec 31st.  Yeah I started the year off right, well the first week. Since then I am so off track and un motivated.

Feb 17th is my 1 year anniversary.  I am 92#s down...time for a new goal, right?  I want to get to the CENTURY mark by Feb 17th.

I just got 2 tubs of Unjury delivered (in snow by FedEx) this morning.  If that is not a sign, I dont know what is.  I also got a message from my surgeon's office.  I missed my 9 month check up on purpose.  He has never done blood work (I got my PCP to check my levels).  He only weighs me and his office is in VA ( 1 hr plus in DC traffic), too far for a weigh-in...my opinion.  I will consider it a sign too and I plan on seeing him next month for my 1 year check up.

I joined Match.com in December.  Dating is so much work...it is actually easier to lose weight than date at 43 yrs old...no lie!  Oh well you win some you lose some!

of obsessing about my weight and Onederland

I am 203. I lost two ounces over the holiday weekend(beats gaining). Even though my doctor has assured me that my weight loss is all over, my face and neck have loss about 20#s (in my mind). 

I have been taking pics with the intent of posting, but my neck can officially get me classified as a dinosaur.  Too me, my face and neck look malnourished, while the rest of me has fat to spare.

My goal is 25 more pounds. I am praying that the weight comes off my plump body parts.

Sorry for the lack of humor, I am giving up comedy until I am safely in Onederland.

Fay

I am 205 and desperate too get to Onederland. I have not blogged for the last six weeks, because I want my next blog post to say something like:
 Onderful, Onederland!
 Ode to Onederland
Fay in Onederland (the musical)

Sadly it has not happened, yet. Hell I even ran ( my cartilidge free knee)on the treadmill lately. Oh the pain I have endured in my quest for Onederland

I have decided to be mad at Onederland...damn it I am as deserving of it as it is of me!

Who am i trying to kid. I am a sucker to the numbers on the scale and for now they read 205.1

Fay

We I am finally headed to my 6 month checkup.  Yeah I know I am 7 months and 2 weeks, but its the thought that counts.

This morning I weighed 216.4.  That is 16.4 pounds higher than my surgeon wanted me to be at this point, hence that late appointment.  I have prepare a series of reponses for him, in the event he indicates that I did NOT make his goal...

a) No body asked you!
b) Lemme see you try!
c) I am happy with my progress
d) Are you trying to ruin my day or motivate me?
e) Watch your mouth buddy!!!
f) Are you sure you did the procedure correctly?!? (personal favorite)
g) I look DAMN good!
h) It's MOSTLY WATER
i) I am constipated
j) What da hell did you just say?!?! *Chris Tucker voice**
