just a brief note and a new ticker...
down another couple of pounds. i have another really bad cold with a sore throat... second one since christmas. i am on an antibiotic and hopefully will feel better tomorrow.
i'm not posting as often...
Jan 09, 2007
well today is going to be a good day. i finally found a protein drink that i can at least get down my throat. it isn't as bad as all of the others that i have tried, so i am going to try to have one a day. i really do pretty well getting my protein from food, but i would like to up my protein to maybe speed up my weight loss. i feel like i am a slow loser.
sunday was wonderful. i took my little sister (44 years old, but younger than me, so she is still my baby sister!) to the eagles game. it was a playoff game, so it was crazy and my eagles won, so it was a great time!! two more wins and we go to the superbowl!!! go eagles!
i am now down a total of 50 pounds... 12 before surgery and 38 since. i struggle with head hunger, but i am trying to get a grip on that. my energy is not really good, i want to sleep a lot, and i do take all of my suppliments. i need to move more on a daily basis, i was at the gym today, and now i am going to get off of my butt and clean out the refridgerator. have a good one everyone.
E~A~G~L~E~S ... EAGLES!!!
it was a wonderful holiday...

my family and i had the most wonderful hanukah and christmas this year and we all had such a wonderful time spending time together.
one gift i especially love is my "poof fairy". she is just the cutest thing... with wings and a magic wand. on the end of her wand is a small sign that says "poof, you're skinny".
it was from my little sister, o'k, so she's 44. she has always been the "skinny" sister (she prefers "thin", but heck at 5'6" tall and right around 100 pounds, i still say she's "skinny").
i hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and keep losing!
another couple pounds...
Dec 20, 2006
i feel like such a slow loser. but then again, i know that what i lose this time is a lot faster than ever before, and i also know that it is gone forever. i am changing my habits, and it is showing... slowly, but surely.
new ticker....
Nov 29, 2006
just a quickie post to update my ticker. today has been a bad day as far as head hunger goes. i still did ok, but it was my toughest day so far. i am having trouble getting in all of my water... and food for that matter. i need to gete back in the groove and on the ball. i've had a headache for the past two days, so that makes it harder to eat or drink, i just don't feel like doing anything. tomorrow is another day, and i will try my darndest to get everything in as i am supposed to.
no longer "morbidly obese"... woohooo!

update alert!!!
i am no longer morbidly obese. my bmi was 43.9, and it is now 38.9. woohoo. i am only obese now. i still wish that i was losing faster, but i guess that in itself is a milestone. i need to get ready to go out, so i will update later.
ciao... patricia
tomorrow is thanksgiving...

tomorrow is turkey day... yeah baby, i can't wait for turkey and all the trimmings... in much smaller portions, but i still can't wait. i haven't updated since we went to mexico. i never had time when i was there, and i have had so much to do since i have been home, this is the first time that i have even turned my computer on. we had a wonderful time, and i only felt nauseated once, and i am sure that it was because i drank my water too fast because of the heat. i gulped instead of sipped, and i had just finished dinner thirty minutes before the gulping, so i felt like i was going to be sick. i didn't get sick, but i felt lousy. i will update on our trip a little later.
my weight loss is slower than i expected. i only lost 5 pounds while i was away, but i guess that's o'k, since i was only away for 6 days. i am having trouble getting in all of my protein, and i didn't take my vitamins while we were away because they make me frrl sick. i have started taking them again though. even if they make me feel yucky, i know that i have to take them. i wish i could find a protein drink that i like... i'll take any suggestions!
happy thanksgiving to all. gobble, gobble!!
off to mexico tomorrow...
Nov 12, 2006
well, my husband and i are headed to mexico tomorrow for the taylormade pro-am golf tournament... he's the "am", and i sit by the pool while he plays. it's a great time, and i can't wait to get into the sun. we go with great friends, and the tournament provides great entertainment. last year my husband's team won their division and came in 2nd place overall, so hopefully they can win the whole thing this year. the other wives and i sit by the pool or take a snorkle cruise, or shop while the guys play golf, and then the guys join us at the pool to relax a while before we all get ready and go to the lobby parties where they have the leaderboards and cocktails, hordeorves, and great entertainment before we head out to dinner. it truly is a wonderful week. oh, and i forgot to mention the inexpensive massages... $37 for 90 minutes only one block from the resort. woohoo, that's my favorite part of the day!!! i will miss my margueritas this year, but it's well worth the sacrifice.
i'll be a cheap date this time!!
as far as weight loss goes, i'm not thrilled yet with my loss, but i also was not getting in all of my water last week. i have uped that, and i am really good about my 60 gms. of protein. i don't like the drinks, so i get mine from food. i still am eating protein about 5 times a day. i had lost 12 before surgery, then 10 more at two weeks, and now at 3 1/2 weeks, it fluctuates between another 6 and ten pounds for a grand total of somewhere between 28 and 32 pounds, or 16 and 20 since surgery. wow, that was a lot of numbers... i think i am just going to stick to "total weight loss" from now on. lol.
i will update again from mexico or when i get back. i hope everyone has a great week.
