Smells like Peanut Butter and chocolate! (Buckeye candy).

I'll stop.

Okay, I had a great day with food until dinner. I ate two pieces of garlic bread. TWO! How the heck did those go down?!

Now I'm going to crave carbs all over again. Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!

Oh so the simmones sisters just don't have the where with all to pull it off? We'll we'll look hotter with our costumes than we would have with their idea...But not nearly as funny.

I ran today too. I kept my butt on the treadmill eventhough I didn't want to...I'm walking 2 minutes, running 8 minutes, three times to make my 30 minutes. I'll shoot for getting outside tomorrow, earlier in the day. It was HOT here today.

BTW, the GF has me convinced that my newly vein popping hands are happening due to my old age, not my weight loss.

How not very nice is that?!

As in some sourdough I made, sliced and baked with buttery garlic stuff on it.

It was my only no-no yesterday, which is saying something. I probably was under 1200 with the bread.

The swimsuit trial gave me and epiphany about this body stuff. I know that it’s not going to be perfect, not even with plastic surgery, so I’ve been strutting around thinking I’m looking good. Well as good as it's going to get...but that's a lie.

And it's given me the go ahead not to finish this game. I’ve been functioning like here is good. But here isn’t good enough. The game isn’t won. I’m not finished. It helped me get my head back into yesterday.

Today I’m going to be back on track again. I figure if I take it one day at a time, one meal at a time, one decision at a time and remember I’m shooting for the big pay off…

It’s like I lost sight of my goal because I’ve gotten closer than I ever thought I would. It would be like quitting school right now since my I’ll be getting my BS in a few weeks. I’ve been working on my MBA, and I know I’m smart enough for grad school so I should stop. Where’s the goal attainment in that? Just do it, to quote Nike.

I know I can lose weight; I just need to do it. I want to see 150 by January.

What DO you do with the pannus as you run? That part always bugged me when running, knowing that thing was flappin' away. I bought some sort of garment that I wore, but man after awhile, it gave a stomach ache.

Yes, we need to keep moving on and attain the original goal... Sometimes I can't believe I don't lose weight faster with all the biking, but then I look at what I eat, and it would be a sad day if I quit doing all the biking. Something has got to change.

On the other hand...............last night we went and met friends from out of town..............when I got out of the car........they came unglued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were all over me wanting to know how I became so skinny!! Those were the words used too!!! Now, it took quite a while to get my head back to the right size, but I told them and they were awesome about it. They didn't try to pooh-pooh it away as the easy way out!!! It was really really an awesome feeling. I hadn't seen them since last July, and I don't think they ever saw me at my biggest weight before that. Anyways, nothing like making someone feel really really good!!! I think most people who see you everyday don't even realize when you have dropped another 20 or so pounds. They are so used to seeing you this way now.

I am in Green Bay but BG thinks that instantly makes me a Packers Fan by association.

You mean you might not be a Packer fan? It's gonna be a tough year to remain loyal with all the Brett stuff going on.

My husband and I have a fierce Bronco/Packer rivalry. all I care is that the Packers end the season with a better record than the Broncos. LOL

I've taken to wearing lined shorts ontop of my panties. They help some. Really it's just annoying to have the Pannus in the way, but it's there and I can't change it...

The friends' well wishes are nice. Awesome...it's a great attitude boost.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
