Still Going

My Thursday fast day was fine. Fast days are still easy. Start the day with hot chocolate protein drink, then green tea when I feel hungry. then around noon or 1PM I have a no cal salad.. just the greens and a small amount of dressing. That fills me up and I'm good to go until diner. I'm pretty busy at work so I typically don't think about food. Then when I get home I'm good with diner, I cook for the family. Last night was delicious salmon, easy to cook, no fuss.. along with noodles for th

Slow going

Entering week 5 of the 5:2 plan and my focus to move down. I've started feeling like a failure, having had the surgery almost two years ago and still I weigh 255 pounds. If I had it to do over again I would have kept going once I hit that first 3 month stall. I would not have settled for size 18.. now a comfy size 16 dress. I'm still satisfied with not having gained any weight. But now I am focused to keep going down. 255 pounds is not a healthy weight for my age.. heck for any age . So the

Still going

I have been following the 5:2 plan for eating, and recently shed 2 pounds. Strange experience.. I had a great fast day on Friday.. Fast days are not really hard for me, when I'm at work. I stay so busy time goes by and cups of green tea or crystal light get me through until the one meal for diner. If I get hungry before that I eat a salad with a bit of protein. The strange part was the next day. Saturday is typically a shopping day for my daughter and I. We simply love the malls and shopping

Back on the move

Sleeved in Nov 2011 started at 330 now almost 2 years after I'm about 255. About a year back I sort of went into maint mode. Down to a comfy size 18 I was very content. I did want to go down one more pant size so I attempted to "diet" to lose more weight. I excersied, joined a gym ( URGH!! ) I so hate gyms, I so hate excersise. I bought the Wi Fitness Zumba Kit,, Did enjoy that for quite a while. My daughter and I really got into the dances. But as with most things time gets in the way. G

Sabatoge Or Love

Its been 3 months and 33 pounds down since by sleeve. I feel its going slow. but I am in the mind of slow and steady wins the race. As long as the number and my size continues to go down I am happy. However, I wonder if my family is as supportive as they say they are. Yesterday my hubby, a bit overweight himself, proudly bought in a platter full of chocolate and vanila cupcakes. These cupcakes were given to him by a mom he teaches karate to. This lady often gives my hubby backed goods, which

Inches Melting Away

I was sleeved Nov 8th 2011. So I'm about 2 months out. Since surgery I've lost 23 pounds. I feel that is slow loss, my Doc says its right on track. They expect me to lose 5 - 10 pounds a month. So I'm not discouraged, I'm in it for the long haul. Learning how to eat and lose as a lifestyle. I'll admitt I HATE excersise and hope I can lose weight without adding excersise.   What I am excited about is the loss of inches. In those two months I'm down two pant sizes and that really feels good.

Trip To Red Lobster

Well I'm 5 weeks out, recently started soft diet. Glad to be able to eat "solid" foods and not pureed everything. Of course my first outing is to Red Lobster with out of town family. It was a victory for me. After waiting an hour I was actually hungry,, which is not usually the case. I shared a bowl of clam chowder with my hubby. No drinking during meal is still hard but getting used to it. Its funny telling the waiter.. no thanks nothing to drink for me.. not even water. For diner, I tho
