  1. Much happier this week

    This is my second time typing this post- lol. I'm not really good at posting blogs, everytime I hit publish it erases my post .
    Now, on to the next topic! This weekend (starting on Thursday which is technically not a weekend day) I broke my stall and I've lost 5lbs. I'm reading 257lbs on the scale but I won't change my ticker because that 257 could bounce to 258 lol. It's very odd that usually when I break a stall it occurs over the weekend. There is really no real explanation for it I think unless it has something to do with the increase of calories (go figure!) I've found myself at the swimming pool several times over the last week. This has been such wonderful exercise for me. I intend on going just about everyday but I must invest in sunscreen because I think that summer really is here in Arlington Tx, it was about 94 degrees yesterday!!!
    For those who are reading- Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all have a great day
  2. Me and "that" scale....

    So yesterday I had my 6 wk post op appointment and I don't go back to see my surgeon until October 5th. I am once again in a stall. I'm setting at 264lbs and nothing is changing! To say that I'm frustrated is an understatement. I do believe that the scale will move again. I have one of those Health O Meter scales which is horrible and today I ordered a scale from overstock.com and it's a Taylor scale I have so many things on my mind...... I think I'm stressing out and maybe I need a break from thinking about my weight so I'm going to force myself to go to the gym, do normal "Candace" stuff and try and focus mostly on graduating. When the scale goes down another 5 pounds- I will blog again- until then, I'm on strike lol.
  3. My birthday is September 14th- I don't think it's possible to for me to lose 48lbs in less than 3 months. I mean, it could happen but I just don't see that happening. If I can get to 220 by then, I won't complain but I really would love to hit 200. I haven't been 248 (my current weight) since I was 19 and I am just too thrilled that I'm below 250- I didn't think I'd ever truly see 250 without this procedure. I love that I now have mini-goals and challenges that Irene does because they truly do push me to get my butt in the gym, to eat right, to overall just feel better about ME. I've currently decided that when the Labor Day challenge starts- I'm going to push for a 30lb lost. Crazy huh???
