it was 45° when I got up at 6:30 this morning. Suppose to be in the mid 70's today and back in the mind 40's tonight.  I'm thinking it's time to break out the crockpot and cook some chili. I'll also make potato soup.  Then tomorrow, take about half of each to my parent's. Mama doesn't do alit of cooking so, this should be plenty for a couple of days for them 

 I've gotta buy a new scale.  My bathroom scale, even with a new battery, won't give and accurate reading.  You can step on it 5 different times within a few minutes, and it gives 5 different, extremely different readings.   I really don't like scale shopping 

In the last 12 days, I have lost 3.4 pounds.  Since April 27th, I've lost  10.2 pounds.  Finally!! A loss instead of a gain.  It isn't much but, I'll take it.  I'm gonna go back over my food log. I keep track on MyFitnessPal.com as as well as pen and paper.( I know it's over kill but, it helps me, ) to see what has changed nutrition wise. As well as mental wise.  Thanks for the support 

I have nobody but me for the 76.4 total pound gain over the last few years.  That being said, to the ones that have said that I;ve gained back every bit of weight that I've lost, THANK YOU FOR PISSING ME OFF AND GIVING ME THE DETERMINATION TO GET THE WEIGHT BAACK OFF AND GETTING AND STAYING AT MY GOAL WEIGHT.

My starting weight was 427 pounds I am at 306.4 now. My lowest post surgery weiuught was 230.0 pounds For now, my personal goal weight is to get to 227 pounds.  That is what I weighed when, I got married 27 years ago. After I reach that weight, then my doctor and I will determine how much more I need to lose. 

I'm up to 297.2 this morning. Not sure what I had reagined to. I had noticed that I was retaining fluid, and feet,ankles and leg was swollen as well as my right hand. After talking to my cardioligst (he had upped one of my blood pressure medications), told him I noticed that a side effect was swelling of the hands feet and ankles.  He prescribed me a duiretic. Swelling has gone down quite abit. I've also added firmented food, to and extent and kombuchia to my "diet". 

One of my goals is to get off all my medications, of possible.  I as doing good until I hit 50, three years ago. In the last three years, or should I say 2 and half ( turned 53 in January), I'm on two different bp meds, cholestrol meds, anixitey meds, duiretic, as well as my vitiamins. And Tylenol for pain (i was on a narcotic for pain  but didn't like the way it or the Dr. made me feel). Since diabetes run in my family as well as a couple of other issues, I do keep an eye on it. I'm praying that I'm wrong but, am showing a couple signs of diabetes.  I really don't wanna go down that road.

I've got a cardiologist appointment on Monday, 04/25. I was curious as to what I weighed when I was there a year ago. So, I looked on my charts (thank goodness for the Dr office portal), saw I weighed 307.9.  That's almost the heaviest I've been post surgery. I was unhappy. I weighed this morning and am down to 295.6. Not much, but I'll take it. I'm bound and determined to get the regained weight off AMD, get to goal. 

Got up this mornig, and my stomach was growling louder more than usual. So, after I packed my husbands lunch bucket, I made myself my coffee and two pieces of toast with margarine.  That quiten down my stomach for a little bit.  

After my son and husband left for the day, the darn thing kept getting louder and louder. So, for breakfast #2, I had two eggs fried with olive oil non cook spray, two slices of tomato and a tablespoon of Duke Mayo (I didn't eat but half the mayo). It's unusal for me to be this hungry, first thing in the morning.  Gonna have to keep a tight reign on my stomach today. 

I weughed in this morning and, am up to 299.5. I'm okay with it but, not okay with it.  I know, since I was sick for a few days, my eating habit/patteren, wasn't where it was suppose to be. Not blaming anyone but myself.  Back on board today. Gotta run to the grocery store and pick up a few things. Ya'll have a great day

Been sick with a sore throat,cough, stuffy head.  It wasn't COVID. after 3-4 days, am finally feeling a lot better. My eating hasn't been the best in the world as my husband and son brought home fast food.So, as off in the morning, it's back to cooking and eating like i'm supposed to

Weighed this morning and am down to 298.1 pounds.  I'll take it. My short term goal is to get back too 233 #, Which was my lowest post-op weight. Which I've only gotten 65.1 more pounds to go.  It may take me  several more months to get it off but, get it off I will.
