It has been a while since I have blogged!!!  I am still loosing weight but with my mom visiting making busciuts and  gravy it is not easy to keep on the diet track.  I gorged on them all day yesterday!!!  I haven't had her cooking in 4 years so I guess I went a little overboard.  I really need to get back on track soon or these bad habits will take over again!!!  I know I don't want to have done all this for nothing.  Well I am sorry this is a short blog but I am tired and need sleep to go to the gym tomorrow.

So I ill try to give a good report soon!!!

Bye!!!!

I am in a very grey mood since I seem to be in another stall.. I tcould also be because it is that time of the month again, I hope that is all it is.  I am completely exhausted and cannot seem to get my energy level up at all.  So for all you that I have not been keeping up wtih the past few days, I appologise.  Anyway I am going back to the city tomorrow after three weeks here.  I will miss it here, but my mom is comming to visit for two months and she will be here in ten days so I have to go get her house ready for her and run her errends for her.  I am not sure how I will do it all in just ten days.  Well since I have nothing exciting to report I guess that is all for now.  Talk soon (hopefully).  Bye!!!!

Hello all!!!  I am happy to report that when I went to the doctor the other day I had actually lost more weight than I thought I had!!  I had lost five kilos in just three weeks, which is eleven pounds which is great for this stage of my weight loss according to my doctor.  And I was in a stall for the first two weeks of that three weeks!!!  Then I lost another kilo today!!!  So I am down to 104 kilos!!!!  Iam so very happy and my doctor says Iam one of his best patients!!!!  That makes me even happier, more motivated and more confident to continue to push myself to walk harder, and be stricter on my diet.  Down to 645 calories today, and very happy.  And I still got 75 grams of protein in so I am good to go!!!!  Guess that is all for now, gotta "RUN"!!!

Bye!!!

Well every Sunday my mother-in-law cooks enough food for an army.  So today is a difficult time for me.  I want to eat it all but I know I should not.  The past two Sunday's I have not eaten anything but today I may have to.  Fresh corn from the garden, fresh eggplant stuffed with meat and pinenuts cooked in tomato sauce, Kibby, (meat and cracked wheat layered with a meat and onion mixture with pine nuts and spices).  I am soooo excited, today I will eat some.  I deserve it I think, but only one meal and in the evening my tuna and salad only.  So I guess that is all for now, talk soon,

Well It FINALLY happened.  I broke down and went to the pharmacy to weigh myself, and eventhough I always weigh more on those doctor scales I had gone down three and a half kilos!!!  That is 7.7 pounds since the last time I weighed myself there a weeka go when I was 109 kilos.  I am probably actually a kilo less but I will not know for sure untill I go to the city house in another week.  So anyway I am pretty happy and not complaining.  That is 16 and a half kilos!!!  In a month and a half!!!  So Hopefully I will loose another three or four kilos in the next two week and I will be VERY happy with that loss in two months.  At least when my mom comes to visit on November second she will see me arround the same weight I was when she visited last year so she won't try to kill me for gaining so much weight.  I really hope I loose all the weight I want to though I have a long road to go still, but I am getting there, but I am really scared of hte slowing in weight loss, I know it is comming closer everyday when I will only loode maybe three kilos a month, that is a scary time.  I wish I was a more patient person.  But I want it all NOW!!!!!   So that is all for now and hopefully I will have even more weight loss to report in a couple days when I go to weigh myself at the pharmacy again!!!!!

Bye!!!

Well, I am still not able to weigh myself on my regular scale, or take my measurements with my regular tapemeasure.  I think my stall has borken, but I am not sure.  I think maybe I have lost one and a half or two more kilos.  Sometimes it is hard not to sit and eat when you are home all day doing nothing but chasing your kid around, but somehow I am abstaining from grazing.  I have gotten my calories down to a little over 600 a day using the fitday sight.  I am not eating as much as the doctor told me to though,so I am wondering if I am doing the right thing, but I think I am as long as I get my protein in each day.  So I guess that is all for today nothing new to report.  So hopefully I will have something exciting ad interesting to report soon.

Well yeserday was very difficult for me, but today I am starting fresh and with a new outlook.  I am not depending on the scale or measurement from strange tapemeasures.  Iam focusing on my excercise and diet (calories) alone.  It is a scientific certainty that if I burn more calories than I take in I will loose weight. I am burning 70 calories a day on my treadmill plus whatever I burn during the normal day which I think is about 2,500 or more chasing my daughter arround and running normal daily errands.  I am intaking between 700 and 900 calories as of yesterday which I plan to lower considerably today.  After discovering how many calories I was actually taking in I was shocked.! I was thinking that I was taking in 700 calories MAXIMUM!!!!  Thanks to George B., I am able to count my calories much better now, and I have new suggestions on how to control my sweet cravings and satisfy them with lower calorie alternatives!!!!!  So here's to George B.!!!!! 

Also I walked my 30 minutes today at an accelerated speed so I walked over a mile today, not much over, but over all the same.  Tomorrow or the next day I may speed up somemore.  I would love to get in almost two miles in 30 minutes, but I know that entails running not walking, so I am working my way up slowly but surely.

Guess that is all for now,  Bye!!!!

Well I have some really bad news or maybe just some really weird news.  I started to take my measurements today , and everything went up almost to what I was before surgery!  Now I know that it isn't possible to be fitting into clothes that didn't fit before and be as big as I was before surgery.  I am using a different tapemeasure, but should that make a difference?  I will jsut have to wait til I go back to the city ti use my regular scale and tapemeasure.  That was really depressing though and discouraging also.  Eventhough I know that it isn't true still it was a shock.  I am getting one shock after another it seems, first my Super Stall, then my calorie intake, now my measurements.  I guess I just have to keep my head up, because I KNOW I am loosing size and weight, I feel and see it everyday.

So here's to keeping my head up and staying positive!!!!

Bye!!

Ok, so I got on one of those sights where you put in what you eat and it tells you how many calories you are consuming.  WELL, WELL, WELL, I do not understand the people who say they have trouble getting in their 800 calories a day.  I usually eat two different menus or a combination there of.  my LOWEST menu day is between 723, and 728.5 calories a day.  my highest is between 855 or 900.5 calories a day!!!!!!!  I know that 900 calories is WAY  too much to be eating, so I must now figure a way to lower mu calorie intake and still EAT SOMETHING.  It is funny, i am following the nutritionists diet verbatum, but yet I am getting in too many calories!!!!!  So if anyone has any advise on how to lower calorie intake and still eat seven times a day,(4 meals and 3 smacks)  please let me know!!!!!! 

Stopped eating the diet icecream 2 days ago and I think i may have broken my stall but I won't know for sure until I get back to my regular scale.  So I have other things to think about now, how will I lower this calorie intake???

hopefully I will be able to have a good update soon!!!

I really don't know what to say here.  I am in a SUPER STALL!!!  I have not lost weight in like two weeks and I am getting pretty nervous about it.  However a t-shirt I put on a wwk ago that was too tight now fits perfectly?  GO figure with the scale not moving.  Also I am in my second home where I don't trust the scale you can weigh one time and again 5 minutes later and have a six pound difference, so when I go back to the city I will know for sure if I have lost anything but I don't see anything on this scale that makes me think I have lost and the scale at the pharmacy says I have not lost at all.  So I am in a real spot here.  I am terribly upset and scaed I will not loose any more weight.  I am walking either outside or on my treadmill between 30 to 45 minutes evryday but Sunday, and STILL no loss!!!!!  What should I do??????  Why would I go through all this if I wasn't going to loose a sigmificant ammount of weight?????

Why did I change my goal?  Thinking of changing it back to 70 kilos.  I don't think  I will ever reach 65 now no matter what.

Well I guess that is all for now so hopefully in a few days I will have something better to report.  See ya'
