Today the scale said 154. 4 pounds from the goal I had set for myself years ago when all I saw myself was fat. There have been alot of realizations with this too. The biggest being realizing I will not have to shop from the plus size halloween shops this year.

3 more pounds this week but major acid reflux. I haven't had a fill in over a year but with the acid reflux came the best weight loss ever. I let the Doctor know what is going on and we are trying Nexium to see if we can help it without having to take ant fluid from my band.

Went to see my band Dr last week....I am down to 189 lbs! I am amazed that I can finally see the light at he end of the tunnel. 160 lbs is my new goal, 128 long term goal.

I have finally reached 199 lbs (by doctors scales).

6 weeks of failing behind me.... with that said, I am moving past this failure and running full speed ahead. Thursday I will be taking the first steps in going back to school. Also my shopping list will be revamped away from the casseroles and such the holidays re-introduced to mie.  My new years resolution....Take my vitamins every day,

Having the right friends who are as addicted to the gym as I am has really kept me motivated and going atleast 4-5 times a week for 1.5 - 2 hours. Having 3 kids at home that I have to fight with about homework chores and dinner sometimes makes it easy for me to mentally think "I am tooo tired and will go tomorrow". But then I will get that call from my friends wanting to know what time works for me. That is all the push I need.  I have been a member of this gym for 9 years lol, and the manager yesterday said he has noticed I have lost alot of weight. while my scale certainly doesnt show it, my pictures certainly do.

It's the start of a new school year and as the second week rolls by I finally understand  a "routine". For so long I have flown by the seat of my pants at everyone elses beck and call, but as I create my kids daily routine, I am also implementing my "needs" in there too. I am now eating with my girls and doing it in the right moderations and we go to the gym every afternoon in the week once homework is done. I always did as they wanted because I couldn't handle the tantrums but now am glad I dug my heels in and went anyways. Now, they love the girl in the daycare and ask to go back and can I work out longer. Now that I go at the same time, I am starting to meet the other folks that workout there and my friends meet me too if they are out. Consistency and a routine can be a good thing. Who knew?

up until now I only had restriction in the morning or if my house was 70 degreese. So now almost 6 months out, I can say I have finally felt what it is like to over eat and I never want to do that again! I still don't crave sweets and can now pass on the Grande White Mocha. Sodas are still my weekness but I only need 4 sips and the craving is gone because it is too syrupy. There are foods I love the taste of  and it is impossible to say "stop eating" when there is still sushi on my plate, lol. I am eating more home meals as I am learning to reate the tastes I love in a bit more healthier way. 

My doc's scale says I lost 7 pounds from my last appointment but my home scale shows no change and I am terrified to check the gym's scale as it my say something worse.  Since this fill and seeing the difference from when I "bloat" after I eat I no longer eat after 7 pm. 

4 months out and my scale has not budged any lower than 205. I'm not real sure what I am thinking about that since I dont see the doc till next month. I still have hope though?

Last July after I had lost 50 pounds I decided to get a new driversl liscence. It is really pretty too. I had just had my hair hi-lighted and actually wore make up. Today I forgot my debit card when I was on my way to the gym but i had to get gas. I pulled out my checkbook and wrote the thing out in my truck  and I didn't think any more of it. When i went to the counter I handed the lady my DL and check. She said she couldnt take it? I was waiting for her to laugh or something. When she didnt I said "why not" maybe they had a new no check policy or something. She told me that it wasnt me on the Driver's liscence. Then I laughed and said yes it was. I had to take my hat off and part my hair like it was in the picture. I never thought about my DL pic, my face is way more toned now. The attendent was very apologetic, but I didn't think of it anymore than a compliment. Now if she wouldn't  have taken my check, that might have been another story.  

The burn I mean. I made it into the gym today again for my usual 2 hours with of course tanning because tanned fat looks better than white fat. I love that line! I have watched biggest loser for years and have watched those people push themselves in the gym till they could barely crawl. Muscle training would make me sore the next day, but I have never sweat so bad or hurt so bad as I did today. But it was in a very good way and I hope every workout from here on out is just the same. I finally started working more aggressively on my abs since surgery. Because of the way my port hangs, I wear a hi waist tummy tucker breif from Lane Bryant to hold everything in and not hurt my stomach. I also hope this will form my tummy so the damn port will turn back into my stomach. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast for my girls, my last time because from here on out what is good for me is also food for them!  I wasn't tempted in the least bit, I was preparing for the day and getting my water ready for the gym.  3 bites of oatmeal or a shake is really all I can handle now. Eggs now make me sick to my stomach.
