TRYIN TO KEEP MOVIN...

Nov 10, 2008

Well I have been sick for like 2 weeks... I have not exersized either, my whole body was sore and I just didnt feel up to  it.. I had another nut meeting on 11/3 and lets just say I was at 308... I knew that was going to happen.... I havent exersized... Also my appt was for 11:30 so I had to eat something... so Corrine was not too impressed.... so now I have a week and 1/2 to get 10lbs off...  I have read that some people have not eaten any carbs just meat and veggies... Also she told me to do a protien drink for supper.... Well I would but I am just a little short on funds...  Only working 20hrs kills me and my bugdet.. i think that after I have this surgery I will start working 40hrs or so.... clean up my debt mess and get the house I want and the land for my kiddos to run free...

So Friday I went and got my CPAP machine.... Man do I hate that thing... I have tried since Friday to use it and somehow every nite I end up taking it off and not remembering that I dii it... and there is so much moisture in the mask I feek like I am drowning... so they will be calling me soon to see how its goin and I will tell them.. I also have a harder time to fall asleep now that I have that on my face.... I just want to cry...

I have to work harder this week.... I just have too! I think this is the hardest thing I have had to do since my parents divorce... I just dont know.... There are so many things going through my head rite now.... Instead of being addicted to food  I want to be addicted to life and exersize.... I want to be so busy all the time.... I keep trying to picture myself smaller and healthier... and I just cant.... I wonder if anyone else had these feelings and how did it turn out?  Well back to work I go!!

Miss all of you!


Patiently waiting....

Oct 30, 2008

I am waiting trying each day to be patient.... I know that my day is coming..... I just hope that there is no problem with my insurance...  Crystal told me the wait time for mainecare is usually 3 weeks.... so Here I am waiting.... I have been so sick since Monday that food intake has been really small... I just dont feel very hungry.... When I do eat it taste like cardboard....  I have been trying to keep hydrated as much as I can...  My second sleep study was on Monday and It didnt go to well... I had a really hard time to sleep... and when I did fall asleep I was sleeping on my side and the lady had to keep coming in and rehooking up my hose.... everytime I would turn the hose would come loose...  But she was awesome and very kind...  I go next week to get the machine and mask...  I really dont want it.... I hope that after surgery I wont need it anymore...  And of course some of my meds also...

I had a couple WOW moments this week... My good friend came over to bring me some meds when I was sick and she said wow ur really losing weight... esp in your chest...  and then My scrubs that I wear are usually tight on me are now loose... I feel soo good but dont feel any smaller.. I guess that will come with time... 

Thanks for all the support on here... you guys are amazing people with such big hearts!

Well here I am...

Oct 11, 2008

I have completed all my necessary appointments! I only have to lose 4lbs to get approved for surgery... Corrine says I'm ready..  and the best part.... i dont have use the two weeks of yucky protien drinks just the 48 hrs thing...  that is my biggest issue... I cant go without eating for 2 weeks.... Yuck.   I am soo excited  I am getting so close... I never thought I would be able to do this.... But I did!

So here is the thing... I called HR for my work and they told me that short term disability will cover 70% this year.  Next year it only covers 60%... So I want the 70.... Hopefully the wait isnt that long...  Plus my other half is on vacation the week of x-mas so that would work out awesome.... 

I told corrine that if I got off the 4lbs before I have to see her again I would come into the office... so they could push things forward... I am going to call the Sleep place on Monday and see if I can get the results moving and also My dr office to Move the results of that faster too.   

I still would like to lose more weight before surgery..... I want to be at 290 before surgery.     I think I can... I know I can... and I will be!

Today My grandfather is making me some sea food chowder! YUM!

My thanks to all you wonderful people who everyday thou you have ur own challenges still manage to make me feel loved and wanted and give me the confidence that my own family doesnt know how to do. ( you know who you are!)  So thankyou 

UPDATE

Oct 08, 2008

Besides my s study yesterday i went to meet with corrine and I had lost a total of 9lbs in 2 weeks... She told me that i only have to lose 5 more before they approve me...  which is awesome (i think).  And if I dont have s apnea then it moves a whole lot quicker... Corrine said i was doing awesome and that she was amazed that i lost that much weight in such little time...   I wonder how long it will take before some one cotacts me about the s study?   Corrine told me the only thing i need to do is switch my one coffee a day to decalf.... not too hard!!!   I told her that my goal for myself is to lose another 20lbs.... these 11lbs werent that bad... so I hope that it will be that easy again...  JUst need to exersize exersize!!!  thanks for all your help you guys are AMAZING people with such big hearts and I hope you never change!  

Yesterday...

Oct 03, 2008

Ok so Yesterday Cheryl and I went for a walk.... And then I did a little shopping... We went out for lunch, I had 2 slice of pep pizza then I came home and waited for my lil man to get home and then we went for chinese, I ate some chicken and steak and I had white rice instead of brown had a few crab rangoons... (they are my fav)  OF course I dont eat the crunchy part... only the part with crab meat in it... then we went to drop my son off.  On the way home we stopped for an icecream... So I ate 1353 cals and 108 protiens.  I just dont understand.... WHen i got up this morning I LOST 3lbs!!!  So now  I am confused...  I ate all this bad stuff and still lost weight.  I of course couldnt eat as much as i use to..
Today I am working 530am till 2pm... And I am a phlebotomist so I do alot of runnin... So I guess i will see what kind of energy I have when i get home to exersize... I also plan to go to the apple orchard Sunday to get some apples..

THIS IS US...

Im on the move...

Sep 25, 2008

After my meeting with corrine I decided enough was enough and I'm doing what she told me to do.... exersize and really keep track of my calories and mesure my food.  Let me just tell you I was shocked to get up and see that i had lost 3lbs.   My Goal for me is to be down to 300 in a month!  I THINK ICAN, I THINK ICAN!    GO ME!! I'm trying to be my own cheerleader!   So my only situation that i have is that in trying to get calories up to 1300 I have upped my protien to 100gms a day....  I called corrine and told her that i was losing and she said that was fine... plus i've been drinkin 128oz a day.  (maybe more).. I just cant get enough plus it curbs my hunger.  So will update later this weekend, its gonna be tough... i love to eat and chill on the weekends...  God Bless all of you!!!


Today's appointments...

Sep 23, 2008

OK so here's the scoop!  I met with corrine and lets just say she mad me cry.... (or i was just being a baby) but she told me i had to workout some more.  So this weeks goal is to work out  4 x  this week.  Today my sister and i went on this really long walk.  It took us like 1 and 1/2 hr to do it.( she's prego and had to stop a few times)  But WOW there was like 5 hills and I was soo proud of my self that i wanted to do it.  she told me it was like 3 miles.  Tomorrow I am meeting up with mamag at the mall and she said we were gonna walk,  so that makes 2 days.  then i have thursday i think i will go to the gym, and Maybe Sat we will walk thorns craig.  So there is my 4 days. Also she told me that i really need to pay attention to what i am eating.  I need to find some high protien foods that dont have alot of sodium.  Any ideas? Also she scheduled me sooner than 4 weeks, because she thinks it will help and told her i thought it was a good idea and that the appts have to be with her.  I think that if i see her enough that she'll push me hard enough that it will keep me motivated.  I just love food sooo much and just have routines of eating and i dont know how to break them. 

Next appt was with my pcp for my foot pain and my period problems.  2 months ago i tried to stop a baseball with my foot and it slamed into my ankle and i thought that i broke my ankle it was swollen for 2 weeks.  So i had an X-ray and she gave me some pain meds.  (that dont contain asprin)  darvocet.  2nd was my blood test to see if i was pregnant, I havent had my period in almost 4 months and she want to be sure that i am not. 

SO i had a long day....  but i am glad that it is bed time! 

Good nite to all!!!

SLOWLY BUT SURELY...

Sep 22, 2008

Well today I am working.  And I have to work this Friday.   So lets see I am slowly coming back from the aweful weekend.  I really gotta stop beating myself up over all this.  I'm not perfect!  When i get mad at myself i tend to eat even more.  Sometimes i even eat just to stay awake.    Just need to stop.

So i went to meet with a therapist today and I think that it went pretty well.  She told me that because my mom was an alcoholic when i was younger that i took over the care taker role and that i still do today.  I have to stop being the care taker and learn to say no.  I am forever taking care of my sister and her daughter for we cannot depend on my mom.  And my sister usually leans on my dad but he is going back and forth to Tennesse.  So when she asked me what i like to do,  i didnt have anything to say!  cause i never have time for me.   So this week I am trying to care for me!  Lets see how that goes!

Also this week I have a meeting with my Nut.  Lets see what she says now.  I have been keeping track of everything like i should so i dunno.  I dont know if i have lost anything,  i fear to step on the scale.  I have an appointment in the afternoon to meet with my prim care phys to talk about missing my period for 3 months straight.  and my heel problem.  So we will see.

Another goal I am setting for myself is that I am going to work out  for 3 days this week maybe 4!

I hope this therapist helps me! 

Good day to all !
