I went snow boarding yesterday and I have a new respect for anyone that can do it.  I was alowed to go on the lift but chose not to in fear I would die of exhaustion before I got to the bottom of the hill.  I want to try to ski next time.  So this was one of the things on my list to check off and I am glad I tried it because I would have neveer known if I liked it or not.  I was the only one in my group over the age of 16 so I felt a little old.  But my instructor said I was doing good. By the way my istrudtor grew up here in Burney and I have known his family for the last 8 years.  His Mom was my sons teacher and now her son is teaching me, ironic!
The next thing I want to try is running, so if you feel an earthquake it was just me trying to check another thing off the list......LOL

I am doing really good!  Shocking to even me.  I have now lost 13 lbs and feel really good.  I joined the gym in town and go there to walk on the treadmill and use the weights.  I do have a Bow Flex but I perfer to use the gym, although I am still doing the treadmill with my son a few nights a week.   I am getting all my water ina dn taking all my vitamins too. So far so good and on complaints either!  I did start the puch test today and so it is only protien drinks for the next 2 days.........I don't really care for them but I want to get to my goal and I really dont care what I have to do to get there.  It is so good to have my ambition back, I am not sure why I get off the wagon but it is like any addiction sometimes people just fall of.  I have been spending more time on myself, got my hair done, toenails done and feel better about myself .

 I was going to write in this every day and I just don't have the time to.  My son and I are going to start working out on the bow flex again tonight so I can tone up and he can get ready for football.  I have now lost 9 lbs!!!!

I am so excited!  Jason and I are going on a cruise!  We leave at the end of March.  I can't wait to get away with him.  I always love all my time with my children but I also enjoy my time with Jason alone.  
So I am definately losing the rest of my weight.  I don't have alot to go but  I want it off.  I am going to join the gym on monday so I can get toned up and feel better.

I did'nt do the 5 day pouch test, because I was starving by dinner time so I ate some beef broccoli for dinner.  So I am going to drink 2 protien drinks a day and have 1 meal and see how it goes.  By the way I lost 5 lbs yesterday!  I am sure it is all water but who caresit shows on the scale!

So last week I did not do so well.  I am going to journal again, I notice when I journal my thoughts and my food intake, water intake and vitamin intake I do much better.  I want ot have all my weight of by April 16th.  I know I can do it.  I called my friend who's Mom has a whole gym in her house and we are going over there tonight to work out.  If I have a partner I don't want to let them down and so I exercise, hey what ever works.  I wa going to start walking this week but the weather is not coperating with me.  It has snowed for the last couple of days and is suppose to continue snowing until next week.  WhenI took my kids to school today it was 6 degrees.  So no walking for me until it warms up a bit. Last time Io walked at 8 degrees I came home and I had ice in my hair so no thanks and plus I am so cold in the middle of the day I can't imagine walking at 5 am.  But enough of my excuses for noteating right and exercising, I am on a mission to be healthy and at my goal weight.  I found this program aka diet on this site "Surgical weight loss pouch test"  I will let you know if it works.  So today I am only drinking protien drinks and water and same as tomarrow.  Believe it or not it is only day 1 and I can already tell I just want to eat but I am not hungry.  Too bad when I had surgery the surgeon could'nt change my eating habits while he was in there.....LOL

Okay it has been more than a year now and I have gooten lazy!  I am eating carbs, not exercising either!  So as of tomarrow I am back on track.  I still have 30 lbs to go and I want to know how it feels to weigh 175 lbs.Right now I am comfortableat my weight and that is what scares me. I wear a siz e12 or 14, I am healthier than  I was before surgery but I have really slacked off in the last few months, I am going ot blame it on the holidays but I know it is me being lazy and not wanting to stick with the program.  I have got back my ambition and I have goal to get all 30 lbs off in the by next week, just kidding, I want to have it off by April 16th.

As of yesterday morning I have 35 lbs to go until I have reached goal.. Now I fight things I never thought I would, now I am scared to eat too much.  I fear that if I eat too much then I will gain it all back or I won't meet my goal.  I remember when I thought if I only had 35 lbs to lose I would'nt even bother, well I am bothered by it.  I keep thinking I didn't come this far and not get to goal.  I do feel great and have been exercising too.  I still struggle with the water intake, but I always get it all in.  Actually I drink more than I need to but again I want to get to goal.  I have now lost 125 in the last 9.5 months, not bad.  I would like to have all of it off by Nov. 13th. 

So it has been another month now and I have now lost 115 lbs.  I am glad I checked in on the site because I didn't think I had lost any weith this month but it seems I have lost 6 lbs.  The weight loss has slowed down alot now, but old habits are coming back to haunt me, so I have been working on that. Chocolate is still a never gonna happen and icecream too, and when they are in combination together life is not so good.  It is Gods way of reminding me that I did have gastric bypass so why are you eating like this?
We are going camping for the first time of the summer this week-end.  I am pretty excited, I bought a 2 piece swim suit and don't look too bad in it, yes I do have some yucky skin on my legs but for the most part it looks good on me.  I haven't  went tubing yet so this is going to be a new experience for me.  Last time I went tubing I weighted 335 lbs. and it was easier for me to stay on the tube now I afreaid I will get hurt.
I still exercise, love to bike ride and spend all the time I can with my family.  Who knew life was so sweet?

It has now been 6 months since my life has changed.  All for the better I need to add.  Life is so amazing!  I am active all the time.  So many changes have happened in our lives and all for the better.  We don't have TV anymore due to the fact we need to exercise and our kids needed to start exercising with us.  I love being able to go exercise and not feel like I am going to die if I have to take one more step.  Now I love to ride my bike and I still walk 3 days a week at 5 am.  I exercise 6 days a week but only walk 3.  My husband and I are going to hike to 1,000 lakes wilderness in the next coming months and I am getting exciting!  I never thought I would be excited about going hiking but I am.  I know it will be a challenge for me but I am up for it.  I have now lost 109 lbs, I am in a size 16, not bad, 6 months ago I was wearing a size 26-28.  I am excited to see how much I will lose during the summer, it is when I am the most active.  I would like to lose another 55 lbs. and I want to make this goal by Nov. 13th.
