I Hope you never have....or do I?

Oct 12, 2007

A co worker told me that I have changed since my weight loss. Tells me I'm bitchier. After He was missed a meeting with me that he swore he would come to. Of course I'm more assertive

 

 And I won’t listen to excuse for his bad behavior.

Then my Mom tells me I'm calmer. I can see that because I told a friend of mine ( Who had the surgery ) the same thing.

Of course I'm going to change. My body is changing, my mind is changing and My goals are changing. I got an offer to do some photography on the side, professionally. For a VIP event. I told my client that's what I wanted to do when I grew up. Now it's happening. I would like to become a Professional Photographer and now it's time. 
Deep breath!


Wild Weekend

Oct 10, 2007

First (Friday), I went to Busch Gardens alone. A friend was suppose to join me but couldn’t at the last minute. So I went by myself. I rode on Griffon (See Below)

Second (Saturday) Jim & I were on our way up to WV to give his car to his brother, but when we got to DC I had a car emergency! My Clutch Broke ($1120).Chrysler service was awesome. The tow truck was there is 25 minutes. They gave me an estimate with 2 hours. Jim felt so bad he took me to The Silver Diner for Breakfast. Not having done any research on them, I have to say I was impressed. They have some low fat options such as a bowl of strawberries, low fat cinnamon sour cream and egg beater. Also a No sugar added Strawberry Sundae!

The he took me over to the Asian Market( The H mart). 
I the Asian markets. They have such fresh produce and seafood. It is just amazing. Even live blue crabs in a bin. I was tempted to get some but they would probably die before we got them home (3hours away)

I was very tired that day I kept wanting to take naps.

Third (Sunday). The Redskin Game. Originally I was going to do Kobe beef steaks (renowned for its flavor, remarkable tenderness, and tremendous marbling) I had a taste test to re introduce me to beef products. It was so tender and good. For the Tailgate, but Pat called and said he had club seats and shell’s brother and nephew were coming as well. Since I only had 4 steaks, we put that idea aside till later in the season. I did appetizers Tyson’s has come out with boneless buffalo chicken nuggets, they are very good. Also did stuffed portabella mushrooms with Crab meat. The Wine & Cheese. Great game everyone had a great time. Rock Cartwright #31 threw a game ball to our section (right @ the guy ahead of me). I got a hand on it as well as an elbow to the cheek and bruises on my arms. It was totally worth it. We never had that much excitement in our section before! And the Redskins won!

Lunch Hour

Sep 26, 2007

I went out to the local GNC to get a protein shake @ 35g . It wasn't there so I ended up getting 3 of the High Protein bullets 42G in Grape. I didn't like the Orange Flavored so I was just biting the bullet on this . I was plesantly surprized. Cut with water it taste like Kool  aid. Yea!

Now the second half of my lunch I went to Old Navy. I was dying to see their sweater collection. I went in thinking I'm not going to try on a large , so I went for the medium. It actually zipped up! Oh yes I bought it!  I have this Vegas trip coming up and decided I should take a look @ some Pants. They are scary, But very cool looking. I'm going to wait till the end of Oct to buy a pair. Just to get the best fit!

Yea 4 me!!

Sep 23, 2007

Down 50 LBS!!! Almost half way there.. I went to the game yeaterday and was talking to a friend. As I walked away she yelled back at me . Where did you get that skinny butt? I was thinking she not talking to me? Oh yes she was! Whoa,  what a reality check! I dont think I've ever had a skinny butt!

1st time out for lunch with a friend for lunch Restaurant time!

Sep 21, 2007

First do your homework….

I went to the Williamsburg restaurant site to see what was available. Two things caught my eye Applebee’s (They are weight watchers friendly) and Uno’s I’ve been craving pizza plus they have mashed cauliflower. I went to both website. Applebee’s I was not impressed with . it gave no nutritional info on the menu items. You have to go to go to google to check out a website called Dietfacts.com and the information is limited. Low fat Asian chicken salad. 475 calories. 7.4 fat and ????protein.

So I went to Uno’s site . Nutrition values on the main page, high protein, low fat, low sodium, and low calories. Check it out, they’ve got it all.

I wish more website were like this. Check it out…..http://www.unos.com/kiosk/nutritionUnos.html  .

Amazing s what did I get the BBQ pork stick 9 g fat, 22 g protein 240 calories. I was the first time I had pork since the operation. It was tender good and I didn’t eat but half because I was full!            


Doctor's appointment

Sep 20, 2007

Today I had another doctor's appointment! I'm off the Nexxium and the asprin Woo hoo. But I had to take labs today to see if the vitamins are ok. I had a bad experience last week and had to call the doc . he checked me out to see how I was doing. i Overdid the work lifting too much, too soon.I'm still tender but a heat pad and tylinol will help.

It seems to be melting away.

Sep 15, 2007

I cant beleive it! I'm down to 183. I'm a pear shape and I'm now fitting into 18 pants comfortably. I'm wearing M as far as shirts and size 14 in dresses.I check out my fall coats and have to say only 2 still fit. I have to take my Hard rock varsity coat and retire it. It is too big.I love that coat! So like my other one(that I had to retire as well). I got a dress form (From Ebay). I'll set it up in the rec room and use it to store my hard rock pins. I collect them. I have over 150 of them  and I'm running out of space on the other jacket..

I also have 3 bag of clothes to give away or maybe I'll have a yard sale HUM?

I use to love fall but this year it seems everything happens on the weekends. making the ME time down to a minimum I love easy weekends.
