Well, my hair started falling out the other day.  It's not alot right now, but I'm just waiting.  Every time I run my fingers through it, I get like 5-6 strands.  I hope it doesn't come out in clumps!!  I also tried some more protein samples and I like the Protein Delight Alpine Milk Chocolate and also the Matrix Chocolate.  So yay, no more searching!!  I ordered some more samples of the different flavors of both that way hopefully I will have some variety.  My mom told me that she added me to her account at Nautilus (the local gym).  So, when it's official, I'll be going there after work and on the weekends with my sis.  I'm scared because I hate the idea of working out with a bunch of barbies or muscle men, but I just have to suck it up!!  Besides, my sis says that they have a women's workout room, so maybe it won't be so bad.  I mean all the barbies want to work out infront of the muscle men right? lol  Anyway...
The scale hasn't moved since Monday when I got my two month weight.  I hope it's not another stall.  Watch me to be one of the ones who gets a stall for 2-3 weeks every month!!  Uuuggghhh!!!!
I finally met my OH buddy Stephy last night!!  I can tell that we are going to be great friends!!  I'm taking Luke over there tonight so that he can meet her sons.  It's so nice to have a friend!!!  Unfortunately for her she lives next door to the "ho" who my husband cheated on me with, and she has already came onto Stephy's husband!!  I think we are going to have to join forces and have a "ho bash"!!!!  Nothing gives you more of a workout than kicking the shit out of a husband stealing bitch!!!!

Well this is my two month mark and I'm just 2 pounds shy from my doctor's goal of 266.  That's not too bad.  I'm noticing that I'm feeling alot better physically.  Mom and I went shopping Sat night and last night and I wasn't sore at all.  I got blisters on my feet but that was because my shoes are getting too big...again!!  Before I would wake up the next morning with my whole body aching, but nothing now.  I didn't even have to stop periodically throughout the day to take a rest.  I also washed all my dishes and didn't have my back hurting and Friday I sat in a chair up here at work and realized that the arms were not touching my hips when before I could only sit on the edge because I was too big for it.  I started crying.  Right there at work!!  So I may have had a slow loss this month, but all the "Wow Moments" are making up for it.  I'm taking my pictures tonight so I will update them tomorrow.  Here are my averages from Fitday.com:

12-04 to 12-10 
Daily Average:
Calories = 412 (should be between 1,000 and 1,050)
Fat = 22  
Carbs = 31 
Protein = 25 (should be between 40 and 60)
Calcium = 319 (should be between 1,000 and 1,500)
Iron = 10 (should be 18)
Water = 717 grams (should be between 1,361 and 2,835)

My weight is still gradually going down.  It didn't go back up to the 280s all weekend, so I'm content with it.  I still don't think I will make my goal for this month to be at at least 266, but I know I will eventually.  I also attempted to drink some alcohol.  I had 2 oz of Chardonnay and I felt buzzed.  It's not that I want to go out and get drunk or anything, but mostly I was just curious.  I was a cheap drunk before and now I'm off the charts!!  I mean 8 oz of the stuff has only 6% alcohol!!!!
I really have noticed that FitDay.com helps me alot in keeping up with what I eat.  I'm realizing that on the weekends I am not eating enough (my caloric intake is way too low) and I don't take my vits like I should.  Basically my weekends suck.  I loose track of time or I'm on the run, etc.  I need to find a solution to that... Anyway, I am going to start posting my fitday weekly averages so that I can see how I progress:

11-29 to 12-03 (I started last Wednesday)
Daily Average:
Calories = 657 (should be between 1,000 and 1,050)
Fat = 35  
Carbs = 48 
Protein = 43 
Calcium = 441 (should be between 1,000 and 1,500)
Iron = 16 (should be 18)
Water = 659 grams (should be between 1,361 and 2,835)

Hey gang!!  After reading all the posts on the message boards about Hank's protein, I've become skeptical about it.  Apparently the "protein" doesn't have near as much protein as the label claims and the sugar is alot higher.  I don't know if it's true, but I don't like taking the chance, especially since it's so expensive.  So, back to the drawing board.  I did start documenting all I eat on Fitday.com and found out that I am eating on average 30-40 g of protein and that's without protein shakes.  Since my nut says to get in 40-70 g a day,  I may not have to make myself that crazy finding one after all.

This morning I got on my scale and it read 278!!  WooHoo!!  After 17 days, I broke the 282 stall!!!  I almost wish that I wouldn't have broken it after this weekend.  It was carb hell!!  I just got so tired of meat!!  I can't tell you how many times Luke said, "Momma!  I didn't know you could eat that!!"  Oh well, I'm back on track this morning so I guess that is what's really important.  And I'm going to break down and order Hank's protein since I'm giving up finding anything else cheaper.
I also put up our tree this weekend and rearranging the furniture, I think I may have given myself a hernia.  I didn't feel it pop, but I woke up Saturday hurting real bad!!  I see my doc for my 6 week check up today, so I'll ask him about it.
*update*
Dr. Cribbins doesn't think I have a hernia, he thinks I just strained something.  So, we'll see.  Guess what his scale said I weighed???  Friggin' 282!!!  @$%#^&!#$@@!!!!  I'm so damned tired of that number!!  I'm going to go all "Mary Catherine Gallagher" and say:
282...you can kiss my aye-esssssss-ah!!!!!
I just love that movie!!!  "Supastah"!!

It's 7:30 and I'm sitting here at work (already) tired and sore since I woke up at 4:00am to shop for Black Friday.  I got to Wal-Mart at 5:00 and the parking lot was so packed that people were parking at the shopping center behind it and walking.  It was nuts!!  At least I saw a fight break out so I was entertaned as I stood in line to get into the electronics department.  And yes, I got Luke yet another Game Boy.  I swear, if he gets frustrated and throws this one, breaking it, I'm going to beat him like a red-headed step-child....(I'm just joking here don't freak out).
Anyway, Thanksgiving was good.  I didn't eat with everyone since I mis-judged when the food would be ready and ate some tuna at noon and when lunch was ready at 1:30 I knew if I ate anything it wouldn't stay down.  Mom made me sit at the dinner table with everyone anyway.  I think it was because me and my brother are fighting and she wanted to prove a point...we didn't get it.  I staid busy washing the dishes and then ate at 3:00 when everyone was heading for the desserts.  I washed 3 loads of dishes without stopping and my back didn't hurt!!!  Woo Hoo!!  Also I fit into my size 28 jeans!!!  Good day, good day!!  Also, while I was doing the dishes my 11 yr old sister said, "Dang, Na Na your back is alot smaller!!"  I was shocked because she would never compliment me unless she meant it, but it was short lived because then she said, "Well, for the most part anyway, because you need that milkshake to bring all the boys to the yard!"  I'm surrounded by sarcastic bitches!!!!

Ok, I was supposed to see my surgeon for my 6 wk check up today, but work was horrendous!!  I had to reschedule it for Monday.  I really don't have much to update.  I'm still at 282 and holding.  I'm still sucking at water intake and protein intake.  I haven't bought any of Hank's protein because it's so expensive, but I just have to.  I have been reading alot of awesome profiles from folks who have alot of talent.  While it's entertaining for me, everyone else must be bored to tears when reading mine.  Maybe I could start documenting what my son does while I'm on here at night.  Right now he is singing "Baby Got Back" while doing the "Truffle Shuffle" ~you know, from Goonies???  I guess you have to be here..... 

Ok, I'm at the famous 6 week stall.  I instantly went to the "I am failing" thoughts, but keep reminding myself that it's common and my body is just trying to hang on to the fat.  I'm glad I took measurements, because I have went down some this week, so that made me feel better.  I'm looking forward to my new OH friend, Stephy, to move up here from Houston so that I will be more motivated to get all my walking in.  She's my age, had surgery not too long before me and has boys close to my son's age AND just so happens to be moving in just down the road from me!!  It's amazing who you will meet on this site!!!  I'm also looking at treadmills so that when I get down to 250 I can buy one to have when it rains, etc.  Hopefully by the time I get my income tax check I will be there, I just don't know where I will put it!!!

Ok, I finally found a protein drink I like.  Ironically it would have to be called Hank's Finest because that is my ex-husband's name.  The one protein that doesn't make me gag....but that's fitting because he could never make me gag either!!!!

I now have an angelette!!!  Please visit her site and give her support on her surgery page!!!
