4 months out today

Feb 01, 2009

Feb 1st is 4 months.  I am bouncing between 203 and 205 which is between 78 and 80 lbs lost.  I just wanna get below 200.  I still struggle with the foamies on a VERY regular basis.  I eat with a small cocktail fork and a lil demi spoon but sometimes it just doesn't seem to matter.  But, I've figured out that if I excuse myself from pleasant company and burp ALOT! and almost make myself dry heave, the foamies go away and I am good for round two.  I'm not throwing up.  It is just foam and saliva that come out.

I work out 4 or 5 days a week.  My usual routine is 40-60 min. on Elliptical, 20 min. of weights, 20 min. in the pool (40 laps = 1 km in 20 min) and then 15 min. of extreme eggbeater drills from my water polo days.  I also walk with my daughter for about 45 min. on the nights that I am not working night shifts.  On thedailyplate, I am usually in the negative side with regards to calories.  

I am eating between 600 and 800 calories a day.  I am not afraid to try any foods now except anything with sugar or alcohol.  Those I am staying completely away from.  I have donated all my big clothes to the skating club for a garage sale and it feels wonderful to get rid of them.  I used to be a size 22 and now I can wear a pair of size 15 jeans.... NOT PLUS SIZED!!!  That is so exciting for me.  I wore my daughters down vest the other day on our walk and it actually zipped up.   HOLY CRAP!

I feel incredible.  Why did I wait so long to do this?  I only hope that I can continue to lose at a decent rate and get to my goal sooner than later.  I won a trip to Vegas.  Gord and I will prob. go in October for bike week.  I am looking forward to being able to wear dresses and skirts and a stylish bathig suit in the pool. 

Hmmm  I wonder what 5 months out will bring.
