I finally have had a successful week. I lost 3.9 lbs. What? I know. This is such good news. I have been struggling and I just finally came to a conclusion that I needed to get a grip and take control. What is different? I am making sure that I am getting in enough protein everyday, enough water (96 oz) and keeping within a calorie range. I am using The Daily Plate to keep track of what I am eating. It is a huge help. Thank you The Daily Plate. Let's see if I can lose another 2 lbs this week. My goal is to get to 200 lbs by the OH event in L.A. I know that I can do it.

This makes me feel happier.

So here is the deal. I am having issues with my thyroid. I went a week without my medicine and I gained 5 lbs WTH!!!!!!! I feel so down. I almost feel like I don't want to look at OH because I feel like a failure when I see others successes. I know it sounds dumb but I can't help how I feel. I used to have a goal of getting to 140 lbs. That is out the window. I then had a goal of just losing 40 lbs. That is gone too. Now my goal is to lose 2 lbs this week. I have cut my food intake way back. I am concentrating on proteins and avoiding carbs. I am also walking everyday. I hope this all works. If not, I do not know what to do. I feel as if I had this surgery and basically it has ruined all of my weight losing ability.  I will keep on chugging along. I have already lost 2 lbs of the 5 I gained and hopefully I will lose 2 more this week.

I saw this on  someone else's blog  and I thought it   was fun.

I lost 2.3 lbs this week. Woohoo!!!  This is excitng. My goal for this next week is to get under 215 lbs. I think I can do it. This is the first time in a long time that I feel I can actually lose the weight I gained. My other goal is to get my booty moving. I need to walk and quit sleeping in. School is going to kill me when it starts up again.  

Today, I have decided to get on the stick and get back on track. I am going to stick to a high protein, low carb diet. I have never really been on this plan before. I knew in my head that this is what I was supposed to but I never did. Could this be the reason for my past failure and weight gain? Hmm...... Interesting.  

I had to take a picture of these flowers. I thought they were so pretty.  I am finally working on getting this thyroid thing in order. I am taking Synthroid for the thyroid. I am also using natural progesterone cream in addition to B12, B Complex, Folic Acid, Vitamin A, Omega 3 Fish Oil,  and my good ole multivitamin. I feel better which is a good thing. Now if only the weight would start to leave my body. I feel like all the benefits of having weight loss surgery are done and gone. I feel like I am back to where I was before surgery. The only difference is that before if I put my mind to it, I could lose weight. Now, it feels like the weight won't go. I guess I have no choice but to keep on keeping on. At least I am not 300+ lbs anymore. I just got to make sure I don't gain anymore back.

It is official. I am 40 years old. WHAT???!!!! I know it sounds somewhat depressing but all in all it has been not that big of a deal. Of course, I turn forty and all the systems start to break down. I finally went for my doctor's appointment. He asked why I was there and I told him I was tired and that I had no energy, etc.... Well he immediately asked me about my cycle and how I felt during it. I have been going to my gyno for 14 years and have had issues with fertility and she never asked the questions he asked. Ok here is the rub though, he is all into vitamins and natural remedies. I took blood tests, an ultrasound and a saliva test to test for my hormone levels. I got the results from my blood tests and they said that my thyroid levels are low. When I looked on the internet,  the symptoms I had were the same as hypothyroidism This can explain why I gained 40 lbs and haven't been able to lose too much more since. I am still waiting for the saliva test results. As soon as they come in, I am making an appointment and we will get all of this mess in order. I need my energy in the worse, worse way!!!!!! 

Here is my latest ticker. I changed it to a party theme for my upcoming b-day celebration. I am enjoying my last days as a thirty-something.

Good news! The dress fit. Today I went to pick up my bridesmaids dress for my bestest friend's wedding which is in June. I was so worried and anxious about whether or not that dress was going to fit, especially in the bosom area. Well..... it finally came in and I went down and tried that sucker on. Lo and behold, it actually fit and it made me look somewhat thin.What the Hell!!!!!!!! I have to take it up in the shoulders but that is A-OK with me. Now, I have to worry about evening out my "okie tan" that I have on my arms. I also have a little "redneck" situation going on on my chest. Need to find a nice airbrush tanning salon before the big day.
