Well I made through without blowing my eating goal for the day.  I think I actually did under my goal...so yea for me.  We cleaned/cooked and shopped on top of walking my first 30 minute nonstop session at 3 mph or faster...Great Day for me...

Another great day on the way. I broke the 20 minute mile this AM bu 30 seconds...and I am so proud of me.

It hurt...but I didn't cry...lol..I may have been able to push it out to 30 minutes...except that would have made me late for work. Darn dishes took up 45 minutes this am. Trying to pull all the Turkey day serving dishes from the cupboards and into the dish washer so they can get dirty again tonight and tomorrow....darn dishes...

It is so nice to have several good days in a row.  for so long it seemed I would only have a good day once in a while...now it seems more regular...and I am just so thankful for it.

While I am still 100 lbs over goal...I finally achieved a 1 mile walk in 20 minutes....I did this yesterday 11/18/12..then backed it up by doing it again this AM 11/19/12.  I am so proud of myself...

I am non-stop on this journey...

Love you,

Me

I am having a tough day today...it isn't a food problem yet...just a bit of stress from the job.  My boss sucks today...most days she leaves me along to do my work...but today it seems she wants me to be her personal secretary...small stuff I know...but it is getting to me right now. 

On a good note I have lost 10 lbs since Oct 30th...so that is 16 days.  My next doctors appt is 12/4/12 and I would so love to be down another 5 lbs at least.  3 weeks...but it also covers Turkey day. 

I think I can be good on that day.  I am going to make some pumpkin parfay type desert so I can be complete that day.  Keep working at it girl...you can do this.

Love,

Myself

I will be going with a target weight of 160 and a goal weight of 130.  Currently I am consuming under 1200 with an emphasis on protein...for example yesterday (Thursday) I consumed 1121 calories; 67 Carbs; 45 Fat; 103 Protein. 
I also got in all my water + 2 and walked on my treadmill for 15 minutes. 
I am building up to 20 minutes and should be up to that for everyday next week and twice bumping it up another 10.  My goal is to get comfortable walking on my treadmill (3 mph) for 30 minutes by the end of Nov 12.  Then in Dec I will work on increasing the pace until I can get to 3.5 (trying for that pace as my Christmas Present to myself).

I hope I didn't offend you by asking if you had WLS.  I would so welcome your trusted advise and stories of your personal experience.  If you did the weight loss without surgery...OMG you are awesome....well you are awesome anyway...I love you Girl.

I guess up and down in energy is the course for this week.  I wouldn't say I was without energy today...I just feel sluggish.  I did only 15 on the treadmill today...and I felt like I had to fight to get that in.  I stretched really well after and that felt good...but now I just would rather go back home and curl up with a book to read and snooze the day away...I won't...but I wish.

Ok...now I will stop thinking about it...and try to move on to more positive thinking.  You know the saying...Act like you feel good and eventually you will.

Despite have my period for the first time in over a year...I am feeling very energetic today.  Got my 20 MINUTE walk in this morning...shared a protein cookie recipe with my friends at work and generally happy.  Yea ME.

I am excited to report that I have lost my first 5 lbs of the "required" pre-surgery pounds to loose.  It has not been an easy week...lots of walking...lots of hunger pains...but I survived and starting week 2.  I will need to lose at least 5 more by 12/4/12.  I can do this!!

Of course Aunt Flo came today...she hasn't visited in about a year...why now?  Just another test I guess...lol
