Enjoying Life...

Apr 20, 2009

Spoke with the Nut. at our center last week and everything seems to be going good.  There are days when I feel like I am eating way too much but things are within my "ranges" set and I'm doing okay.  Only had one scare and that was a month or so ago.  Had a blockage from cheese.  I was at a party for my nephew returning from Iraq and they were having pizza.  I ate some of the cheese of the pizza and had too much too fast and ended up in extreme pain and then hugging the toilet.  I got a return call from Dr. Kim and he was sure I had a blockage but since I was able to bring things up...there was no need to go to the ER unless the pain lasted more than 2 hours.  It was really scarey.  I was told afterwards that using a small amount of warm water with a little meat tenderizer in it would help with a protein blockage (this came from the nurse at the doctors office).  Something to remember.
My current weight today is 179!! I am so excited!  I am hoping of being at my goal of 175 by the one year mark which will be May 12.  They said at the doctor's office that 175 would be good for me seeing that 15 - 20 lbs would be excess skin.  Sounds terrible.  As long as I am healthy I am happy.  I know there are people out there that wouldn't be happy until they were 120 but I can't imagine being 5'8" and being much less than 175.  Time will tell.  I still do Leslie Sansone Walking tapes daily and if the weather is good I do a mile walk at lunch time.  It's raining today, that's why I am on line instead of walking.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Good luck to those of you starting your journey.
