This week, I haven't felt so hot.  Let's just say that my digestive system is giving me problems.  My doc said to take Milk of Magnesia or Colac and see if that helps, but so far, it hasn't.  Last week it was icy, so I didn't get to the gym.  Maybe once I go today, it will move things along (so to speak.)  I hope so, because when it does move now, it feels like I'm giving birth!!

This week's exercise routine:
Monday = Treadmill ~ 30 min at 2.5MPH for 1.23 miles
Tuesday = Didn't go because I ate something wrong and dumped all night
Wednesday = Didn't go because of the weather
Thursday = Didn't go because of the weather
Friday = Didn't go because no one could get Luke up there to the nursery and I didn't have a sitter.  I probably could have gone later, but really wanted to get home to watch my DVDs of Lost (I can't wait for Wednesday!!!)
Saturday = I staid up too late Friday night watching Lost and didn't wake up in enough time for the nursery to be open....ok, ok!!!  I really wasn't in the mood...I wanted to watch more Lost.  Can you say OCD???

Today is another day and I'm back on track.

Well, I had a good week this past week.  I went to the gym Mon - Sat and absolutely love it!!  It's not even an "all women" gym!!  I was so afraid that I would feel self-concious or that everyone would be staring at me, but I didn't.  I'm sure some were, but after the first day, I didn't care.  I felt so proud of myself for getting out there and not giving up like I used to do.  I feel like overcoming this insecurity was a huge step for me and once I am at my goal weight, I am going to be a completely different person, inside and out.  I also had my first run in with someone who is jealous...already!!  She's at work and told me that she went home to tell her hubby that she was going to start going to the gym now that I am so that I won't get smaller than her.  Then she said "I told him I didn't want to be the fattest one out here."  Can you believe that?  If she's saying this to my face, what is she saying behind my back?  I expected to eventually have some of this reaction, but not when I still am considered morbidly obese.  Silly me, I thought she was always asking questions like how much do I weigh now, because she was a supporter.  But, I guess it was so she could see how close to her I was getting.
I also noticed that I'm getting unusually cold too.  At first I thought it was because it's getting cold outside, but others are telling me that I'm running the heat too high, so I guess I'm just loosing my insulation!!

This week's exercise routine:
Monday = Treadmill ~ 30 min at 3MPH for 1.5 miles
Tuesday = Treadmill ~ 15 min at 3MPH for .78 miles
                    Bike ~ 15 min at 60RPM
Wednesday = Treadmill ~ 30 min at 3MPH for 1.5 miles
Thursday = Treadmill ~ 30 min at 3MPH for 1.5 miles
                      Beginners Step Class ~ 30 min 
Friday = Treadmill ~ 30 min at 3MPH for 1.5 miles
Saturday = Treadmill ~ 30 min at 2.5MPH for 1.23 miles
                     Eliptical ~ 3 min (and am still dying...how sad is that?)

~*~ I should have started either at a slower pace on the bike or for a shorter amount of time since the next day I was really sore.
~*~ Also, on Thursday, I should have done less on the treadmill because the step class was right after I finished and my heart rate got real high during the step class.  Next week, I may only do 10 min on the treadmill to warm up.
~*~ And, I may never try the eliptical again lol.  No really, it kicked my butt, I may have to try again, when I'm in better shape.

This week was ok.  No other wow moments after the last post I made.  I took a tour of the gym that Mom goes to and I'm starting this afternoon.  I'm planning on going after work for 30 min. M-F this week.  I'm also going to peek in on some of the aerobic classes and see if they look like something I want to do.  
Here is my exercise plan this week:
Monday:  Treadmil 
Tuesday:  Bike
Wednesday:  Treadmil
Thursday:  Stair climber
Friday:  Treadmil 
I'm going to try to do 30 min of each, but I may have to take it slow at first.  Or I may decide to do all 3 everyday, just for 10 min each, because I have been known to get bored.
I also still haven't figured out when I should start on weights.  I keep getting mixed opinions, so I don't know.  If anyone has any advice on that, please leave a comment and let me know.

Ok, I just had to post a wow moment.  I can't wait until Monday...
My mom took me shopping night before last because she said that I was looking too frumpy in my jeans.  She convinced me to grab a pair in each size and to start trying them on from the smallest because she knew that if I went from the biggest I would stop trying them on too soon.  (She went through all this before after she had her lap band).  She was right.  I put on the size 20...not there yet but I could pull them all the way up.  I was like no way!!  I tried on the 22's and they fit perfect!!  I almost started crying!!  I tried them on for my sister when I got home and she said that she thought I could still have gone smaller, I said I thought she was smoking crack. lol  I was so happy in the store that I bought a new butterfly necklace, a ring and a bath robe.  I almost bought a new pair of shoes (they were small high heels) but I thought I would never wear them yet.  Maybe after another 50 pounds or so and I start to go out.  On another note:  Mom tried on jeans there too and found that she is now in a size 10!!  Before her surgery, in 2003, she was a size 34!!  She's now at 160 and still loosing!!  Go Mom!!  I know I won't be a size 10 at 160 lbs, because she has no butt...at all!!  I take too much after my dad's side of the family.  They are all big butts and thighs.  The "squatty ginnys". lol (not meant to be offensive, that's what they call themselves). 
Then today I am wearing a sweater that is a size 18/20!!!  This is the first time in a long time that my top is smaller than my bottom again!!!  Not that I want to be pear shaped, but it's way better than being round shaped!!!  Also, the last time I tried to wear this sweater, I couldn't get it over my boobs.  I'm so happy!!  I miss my boobs, but still happy!!  I know when this is over I'll have tube socks with rocks, but I already am saving for implants!!

Happy cold, icy day.  I'm a day late in posting this because I was off yesterday due to the weather.  I have nothing new to report except I'm going to buy a new pair of jeans.  The three day weekend, being cooped up in my house, got me to try on everything I have and found that I am missing sizes 24 down to 20.

Anyway, here are my averages for last week:
01-08 to 01-14
Daily Average:
Calories = 440 (should be between 1,000 and 1,050)
Fat = 15.9
Carbs = 36 
Protein = 38 
Calcium = 522 (should be between 1,000 and 1,500)
Iron = 36
Water = 731 grams (should be between 1,361 and 2,835)

Wow!!  I made my doctor's goal this month of reaching 255 lbs!!!  You can't believe how happy I was when I read my scale yesterday morning!!  It wasn't my personal goal, but at least it was a goal!!!  Anyway, I don't have anything else to report from last time, but I just wanted to shout out!!  5 more pounds until all I have to loose is 100 lbs to reach my "first" goal of 150 lbs.

I did alot better this week.  I'm losing about 1lb a day again and I think that keeps my motivation up.  I finally saw "Super Size Me" this weekend.  I was afraid to watch it when it came out because I loved McDonalds too much to want to be swayed from it (sad huh?).  After surgery I was afraid to watch it because I didn't want to start craving McDonalds again.  I wish I watched it a long time ago.  I was one of the ones who ate fast food twice a day...every day...for years.  Every lunch for sure and most of the time, every dinner too.  And I usually wouldn't eat breakfast.  The apartments I live at are literally right next door to a Sonic, so that was the majority, but McDonalds came in a close second.  This documentary scared the shit out of me.  It also made me feel like the worst mother in the world, because not only did I eat fast food every day, but so did Luke.  If it wasn't for his school, or eating at Mom's, he wouldn't have gotten a "square" meal.  I made a rule since my surgery that he would only eat fast food once a week.  Well after watching this, I told him that it was now once a month..if that.  And the good thing was, watching the guy eat all those Double Quarter Pounders (my old fave) didn't make me want one.  Actually, it made me kind of queasy.  Well, 2007 is going to be a year of change for both of us, whether he likes it or not.
Some wow moments I had were:
1.  I moved my steering wheel down one click.  It was all the way up and now I have 2 more to go for it to be all the way down.
2.  I finally had a BM after like 3 weeks (I know, I know...) and I found that it wasn't difficult to clean up after myself (sorry if that's TMI).
3.  I dropped my credit card on the ground and I picked it up and as I was handing it to the clerk, I realized that not only did I not ask Luke to get it for me, but I didn't even strain or hold my breath or bend my knees or anything!!!  I just bent over and picked it up!!!
4.  One of the drivers at work was out week before last and he came back this week and said "Dang girl, you lost a lot since I've been gone!"  That made me feel really good.  Men generally won't blow smoke up your ass like some women will...you know? 

Here are my averages for last week:

Happy New Year everyone!!!  I have been sick for the past 5 days, and had to work yesterday, so mine kind of sucked.  Because I have been so sick, I haven't been eating, so my averages this week are horrible.  On the plus side, I lost 2 pounds...woohoo!!  It's a temporary high, because I just know that once I start eating again, they'll come back  ~*sigh*~
Anyway, here are my averages...

Water = 724 grams (should be between 1,361 and 2,835)

This past week was alright.  I'm still at 266.  Hopefully I will break the stall this week.  I need to measure myself and hopefully I will see a change and that will break the "funk" I'm in mentally.  The holidays were good...but I'm glad they are over!!  I got kind of off track this weekend.  I ate way too many carbs and didn't take all my vits.  I even tried a bite of one of those cheese cake bites at Sonic.  I don't know what I was thinking.  Just one bite of a bite made me so sick!!!  Thankfully!!!  It was so good...but so not worth the pain I was in!!  Anyway, I'm back on track today, so that's what matters I guess!!

Here are my averages from fitday.  Hopefully next week's will be better!!
12-18 to 12-24

This week I've noticed that my clothes seem alot more baggier.  My weight staid the same all week until this morning.  I was starting to get afraid that I was going to go on another stall.  I also have been doing alot better on my water intake.  Not quite where it should be, but dramatically better.  The calcium is only low because there were a few days where I forgot to take my second one.  And I don't know how to get my calories up.  I know I will loose alot faster if I raise it up a bit.  I just can't eat anymore than I do.  I already eat 5 small meals a day and that is a force.  I guess I just need to take it day by day...
Oh well, here are my averages from Fitday.com:
