Holla!!! Finally able to log back on.

HOME SWEET HOME!!! OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND MENTALLY I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER:)

How are you?!

I am glad I survived today!! I declined going to my friend's cookout because I knew what was waiting for me!! I spent the day with the fam and went to the pier for a nice relaxing night. After the fireworks took a nice walk with my hubby:) good times, goood times:)

I am in charge of my body. I am in charge of my food intake. I made the decision to have surgery. What my friends are eating, what my husband chose to eat, is not my problem. It does and should not affect the commitment that I made. I am done feeling sorry and making excuses. I can not continue to play victim anymore. I am in charge and in control. Every decision, every food choices must be to better my life. I can not and will not blame any one else for MY weaknesses.

I am not sure about this new website update. I feel like I lost touch with so many people:(

I am ready for hurricane Isaac!! completely killed my budget for the week but whatever!!!

I AM SO CLOSE TO MY FIRST GOAL!!!!! Personal goal this week: no less than 80g of protein a day! and EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE:)

I CHEATED!!! I could not take it anymore: went to walmart bought a scale, hurried home and weigh myself lol!! I wanted to know soooo bad! down 12lbs since surgery!!!!

I don't think my body got the memo...I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT FAST LOL!!!! I need to send it a message. For the next week, back to basic: Five protein shakes and a lean meal + 1 1/2 hour exercise. Time to get things rolling again!

I had a lazy/lousy day just plain old tired!! Did not go to the gym and barely got my water/protein in. I slept and watched TV most of the time. Gonna have to do better tomorrow...

I MADE IT!!! 199.2 LBS TODAY!!!! I thought hitting 299 lbs was a fantastic feeling. Nothing compare to seeing 199 on that sacle. ONERLAND I AM HERE BABY!!!!!!

I was walking at work when my shoes just came off!! thought nothing of it... today I pulled out a nice pair of shoes to go out with the hubby and they were too big!!!! so I had to go shoe shopping first and sure enough I am down in size!!!!! SO HAPPY:)

It's been raining since 8 this morning! not heavy, but that perfect romantic mist;) so I put on my coat, took my umbrella and went for a nice stroll around my community. It felt SO GOOD!!!! Now I'm gonna eat my lunch: chicken leg, 1/2 carrots, small garlic, small salt and pepper slowly cooked.2cups of fresh spinach. put the whole thing in my food processor and strained it. now I have a yummy soup!!!

It's official!!! I AN GOING THROUGH A STALL LOL!!! I have read enough comments on this natural phase of my journey, and feel pretty calm at this point. I just hope it does not last toooo long, or I might not be so upbeat about it.

It's smooth sailing from here:)

JOINED THE GYM!! this is getting serious lol!

just wanted to say a quick hello!!!!! posted one pic of me after work today. OMG I am getting so much attention at work I cant stand it lol!!! see you guys next week,,,,

Less than 20 lbs to goal! I can't wrap my mind around it. Almost two years later and I am still learning, still coping, still enjoying my sleeve! What a journey this has been!!!

LOST 17 LBS!!!! Biggest lost ever in one month:) Will not weigh myself again until November, for I am sure my body is going to protest this and go in a MAJOR stall lol!! so no point in me going insane and weighing myself for a while. P.S 11 lbs to my first goal

LOST 50 LBS!!!!! sooo close to my first goal:) I finally see the direct effect of regular exercise with this surgery!!

Lost two pounds this month........YEP.......sigh......moving on:)

Met some friends at Cheesecake Factory today. The only thing in the menu that I felt safe with was the Shepheards pie. I took the usual five spoonful and felt full. Since my friends at that point were just beginning their meals, I kept picking a piece of ground beef here and there. I felt so sick!! Lunch ended quickly since I looked so sick.. major fail on my part:(

MORNING!!! Ready to go to the gym! First, one hour on the treadmill jamming to Best Of Shape walk music. Next, week one of a running training for beginners called: Four Weeks To One Mile. Downloaded both on Amazon LET'S GO!!!!

My medical ID bracelet had to be resized from 8.5" to 7" YES SIRRRR!
