The stall is over!!!

I think I broke the record for the longest stall ever. I lost count, but we were almost 23 days and counting. But the scale moved... finally!!! One thing I did differently was cut back on my carbs and increasing my protein. I don't know if it was because of this, or if my body just quit holding on to the weight, but either way, I am just happy the scale finally moved.   I have also started dancing classes and really enjoy it. Makes working out a lot less stressful.

The stall..........

You read the boards, and everyone talks about 'the third week stall'. Well, mine is here- the scale has been 179, 178, 177, 178, and 178.8 this week. And no amount of reading could prepare me for the ANGER I FEEL TOWARDS THE DARN SCALE. I mean seriously, did I spend close to 10K, time off work, have a dollar of a stomach to lose 14.3 pounds????   I hope this stall breaks soon. In the meantime, how did everyone cope with a stall???

Officially 'overweight'- no longer 'obese'.

So my BMI is now 29.8 which puts me in the overweight and not obese category. Yeay for me.   In other news 1. I ate runny eggs (well, less than half an egg), and it was soooo darn yummy! 2. I love sugar free popsicles 3. Goodbye 180's. 4. I am trying to figure out what to do on my birthday- since 'a nice restaurant' might be a waste. (Will be my first week of a full menu- so I think a 1/4 cup of food will be weird if I go to a fancy restaurant)

First dining experience- OK... second one

Last Sunday was my first meal outside home. After getting Pedicures, my friend and I went to Whole Foods for dinner. I had some tomato basil soup. It was delish, but I made it through very little of it. It was yummy even then.   Today I had a closing with a client. They were so happy about their house, and wanted to treat me to dinner. And since I am also reputed as a foodie, they asked for my suggestion on where to go. I had to think FAST!!! Did not want to out myself, and tell them about my

arrrgghhhh- what a day!!!

Tomorrow is a new day, and I pray it will be better. We in the process of buying a new house. Because we already have a house it has been a NIGHTMARE getting a loan. And today we got yet more bureaucracy instead of getting our loan completed, and will have to put down so much more money (and will pretty much have no flexibility in spending for the rest of the year)   I am so upset. That and TOM has me emotional and tired and a wreck. I cried so many times today- and guess what- there was no fo

Appointments appointments

Since I had my surgery overseas, my plan is to get some after-care support locally. I really appreciated and took to heart LAN2k's advice on getting the correct psychiatric/psychologist care. so today I went to my first appointment with a therapist. She has worked with folks who have eating disorders, emotional eating and depression which is why I chose her. The intake session was more to give her information, so nothing huge to report. I know that it will be difficult to find a replacement for

9 days out

So I finally decided to post to my blog. I am not sure how often I will do this since I am not a 'natural journaler'. I had my surgery Jan 15th, and I have had a fairly good healing process. Here are a few things I have done/learned/figured out- but not in order: ( I am a list maker so heck!)     1. I packed too much for my trip to Mexico. I bought EVERYTHING on the master list that I picked up. The most important things for me were my robe, my comfy yoga pants, my bedroom slippers, and a 'co
