Just-A-Gem

Down another 3.8 lbs this week! Still going strong. Woohoo!!

“A man who wants something will find a way; a man who doesn’t will find an excuse.”

Fridays are good days.

Still in moving phase... no fun. Might be waiting til next week for my next weigh in... Stress!!

Down a total 26.2 lbs! 3 weeks out and another 4.2 lbs gone.

Wearing pants that didn't fit a couple of months ago. Ready to start pushing the protein now that I am getting to more "normal" foods and get this show on the road. Woo Hoo!

I've got a sinus infection. Yipee!

Week 2: 4.8 lbs lost!

I want to go running... really badly.. October 14th can't come quickly enough..

Sooo tired.

1 week weigh-in, down 9.2 lbs.

Yes..... I did go back to work today.....

I feel excellent today. I even woke up sleeping on my stomach with virtually no pain. Then promptly turned over because this girl ain't pushing it.

Heading home today and can't wait to be back in Houston typing on and American English keyboard. Punctuation on this one has me all turned around. I am feeling REALLY god today. That doesnt meant that I'm not going to get wheelchair assist for the whole trip thoug.

2 days sleeved and feeling pretty good today. Not as good as GardenDiva though! She's already headed back to the States!

Today's the day! Now, if only I could sleep another hour.

At IAH waiting at the gate on my flight and texting Gardendiva3. This is starting to get real.

Good luck on your flight today, lady! See you tonight, HOPEFULLY!!

Good luck today Wishes!! Praying for you!

14 hours from now I will be ascending on my flight to San Diego. I can't believe the time has really come!

Down 8.4 lbs since start of pre-op, only 2 sleeps and a plane ride to go!

Was so tempted to chew a bite of pizza, then spit it out. Got the hot, delicious pizza an inch from my mouth and my husband knocked it out of my hand. It flew across the room and landed face down. :-(

YAY! LAXATIVE DAY! 3 DAYS TO GO!!

Something to look forward to on Thursday is the 71°F/64°F forecast for San Diego. It will really feel like a vacation. At least for a few hours. I might have to bring a jacket.

It is so dang hot here today and Thursday/Friday is close enough for me to check the weather in Tijuana. Hoping for some sweet relief. It'll be worth the gas pain, I think! Also.. I think all I am going to be able to get down is RTD protein. Can't wait to be able to get the protein in through food!
