  1. *under* 200!

    · 2GoodDogs · 07/10/2010 02:26

    i've been at 195 for about 2 weeks now, feels great to be in "onederland"!
     
    Saw casual friends last weekend,they had not seen me lately and the exclamations and good natured teasing all weekend made me feel great. I feel like me again, and look a whole lot more like myself too. :smile2:
     
    Size 18's are getting a wee big! Woohoo, I never dreamed life could be so good.

  3. Too much of a good thing

    · 2GoodDogs · 03/06/2010 14:33

    I got scared because I ate a whole can of Chunky soup... geez...
     
    So, now I am 'overfilled' - can't sleep for the acid reflux I have, can't keep water down, have zero energy, but I'm walking and working out anyway.
     
    Love the weight loss though. :tt1:

  4. Mornings

    · 2GoodDogs · 07/21/2009 10:34

    I feel yuck this morning. For some reason I thought tuna fish would be a good thing to eat at 2:00 a.m. - with olives in it. Geesh, the lost sleep and pain is exactly what I deserved.
     
    Anyway, I've heard bandsters talk about having a tight band in the morning. I get what they mean now. Tight, nothing I want. Even coffee won't go down.
     
    Guess I'll have to take the immersion blender with me to work this morning because I will want my protein shake about 10 a.m.!
     
    The buttered popcorn I had at the movie last night was gross. I must have eaten 3 cups and my hands were terribly greasy. Could have done without that.

  5. 2GoodDogs and a Blog

    · 2GoodDogs · 11/30/2008 17:37

    Post turkey day 2 and the cravings are here. I would like just a little more of that sweet sticky stuff, and more gravy ...
     
    but today, I will restrain from high fat, sugar and salt, and eat what I know will nourish my body and new healthy lifestyle.
     
    A walk would be good idea today, and it is about time I clean my cave, I mean bedroom. :thumbup:
     
    B - 1/2 cup grits
    L - 1 italian sausage link with brown mustard
    S - cup of soup
    D - jenny craig meatloaf dinner

  6. Today's Blah-Blah-Blah...

    · 2GoodDogs · 06/22/2009 10:05

    256.5 this morning.
     
    I spent over $100 on food. Geesh, I hope I can get this figured out, the shopping for less and throwing away a lot less!
     
    I have spent at least $100 on food, most every week for the last 28 years... many of those years I was feeding 3 or sometimes 4 people.
     
    Many years ago, that was a glutton of groceries, today it is mostly the staples.
     
    Anyway, why I don't have any money? I spend soo much on food.
     
    Weird psychological hangup?
     
    I had a fill last Tuesday, a good one. Best restriction I've had since the surgery, almost 1 year ago.
     
    I pray that this feeling lasts, I'm LOVING it that I'm full by 3 - 4 bites.
     
    Hard to wrap my head around though, I want bites 5-6!
     
    Also, got to get myself off the carby crunchy snacks that seem to never get stuck. I can work harder not to buy them.
     
    Excited about the week ahead, I have plenty of low sugar foods ready to eat. Will add some exercise, and make my goal to lose 2 lbs. by next Monday.

  7. Disappointed

    · 2GoodDogs · 12/07/2008 01:35

    I had my 4th fill on Dec. 3. Still, don't feel restricted.
     
    I was 266 at the surgeon's office. Went back to Jenny Craig and bought $50 of food.
     
    Today has been revelation and revelation. I eat "socially" - I eat emotionally. I eat for every reason besides being hungry.
     
    I am supposed to wait till I'm hungry to eat, but I'm not often hungry. Am I really supposed to only eat every few days? I think not.
     
    And, I really, really want a sugar free diet dr. pepper!
     
    I went to the dog obedience trial today, arrived on time, freezing cold.
     
    I waited my turn, I just new today would be a great day.
     
    We had beautiful heeling and signals, nicest job we've done yet. Then, when we get to scent discrimination he searches the pile, and searches it again. I was 15' away willing him to back up and look at the one underneath him. He didn't, he just grabbed one and brought it to me. We failed our test already.
     
    The judge told me to take it from him and finish. I was crushed...
     
    I scented the next article and sent him to find it. He did and trotted back in with it, he knew he had it right.
     
    Then he went to do some brilliant work with the directed retrieve, moving stand for examination, directed jumping.
     
    But, I was really really mad that he missed that article. We could have won! He didn't come to sit in front after the jump. I must have looked mad, and he was avoiding me.
     
    So, I stuffed my disappointment with a double cheeseburger from Wendy's. It got stuck and came back up. The large chili, also from Wendy's, went down good, and the french fries I swipped out of my friend's order... delicious!
     
    When I got home I raided the candy dish and finished the salt water taffy. The I ate the Jenny Craig chocolate cake I'd been saving.
     
    Then I started on the crackers... thought for sure I'd hurl again, but didn't.
     
    Opened a can of chicken and dumplings, and ate my fill. Gave the rest to the dogs.
     
    Tomorrow is another day. We go back to the dog show and we will try again. Maybe tomorrow I won't eat my joy if we pass, maybe tomorrow I won't eat my sorrow if we don't.
     
    I can try.
     
    I'm planning to eat
     
    B - 1 cup oatmeal
    L - 1 cup Jenny Craig lunch
    D - 1 cup Jenny Craig dinner
