SeaWorld w/the kids

Well I took the kids to SW this morning. We got there around 10 & left around 2. I'm tired and thirsty. :faint:   B 8:00am: ProRated drink w/12 oz 2% milk S @SW 12ish: Two handfulls of Buggles & an apple L 3:00: Asian Salad (60% of it-but all of the chicken) @ Jack N Box plus 4 spoonfulls of chocolate shake and 5 FF D 7:00: 2 Del Tacos that I made into a salad w/dressing (no shell) and a few (5)chips w/nacho cheese   I brought ProRated w/me so I could buy some milk but I left my walet at home--duh. So there went a good idea. I've had 20 oz water so far. Just haven't had it in front of me. I need to get working on it for today.   I don't know if it's the water or what, but for the past two nights I've had a headache that startes around 8pm. Nothing seems to help it either.   The kids were ok so it may our time nice. It was good to get out w/them again. 5:20pm I'm on my second 20 oz cup since I got home. Headache still there and it's hot here. Not to hungry since I ate late but the family is and DH just got home. Oh wo is me and me is tired. 7:45pm OMG the kids; tonight must have been Q&A for DH and his hot rodes he had as a young buck. DH kept asking me "are they like this all the time w/you?---YES" I don't think I'll make the 64 oz today. I still have the second one I started right before DH came home. Ha; my headache is gone though! :clap2: Have PTA stuff to start on--I'm to tired but I'll give it a try.:Banane10:   I had 4 cups left to drink--not bad for a late start.

Zumba!!

I am so glad that I tried the Zumba class out! I've seen it on TV to buy for home use, but felt that I wouldn't keep up w/it.   The dance studio that my girls go to started up a class and I tried it out. Well that was back in April and I've dropped 15 inches off of my total body!!!   I've lost 5 pounds to boot! The studio now has a total of 4 classes through out the week and is looking to add another one.   If they have it each day, I just may drop my gym memebership (that I never seem to go to).   The weight is coming off better right now. I've been writing down everything and drinking the water (64oz a day). Using those little flavor packets for the water has made it easy and I rarely have a soda now, maybe once a week if that. I picked up myself a new little car tote for my snacks while I'm out and so far I haven't been looking for a fast food joint to satisfy my hunger needs.   I did make an appointment to see my doc. Found out that's it's been over a year since I had seen him.   After looking at my weight logging, I never placed a single log for '08.   I'm back in the game and ready to play some hardball.

5 days Banded

I'm sore that true. By port incision is the sorest. I can tell that I still have gas, my tummy is extended.   I did have a BM today though.   I also had yogurt. It was good to have something other then jello, protein or water. I've also had about 15 fish crackers through out the day.   I'm going to the movies w/Steph and her kids to get away. My kids have been just bored and bothering each other and I need out and DH sees this. He's the one that called her for me.   Ok it's fucken hot and I need to get away from the computer.

20.5" lost - Totoal Body!!!

DH measured last night and weight is at 205 and I've lost a total of 20.5" -ALL OVER!!!:clap2:   No this has me thinking again about the fill. Should I pass on it again or should I get it? Oh I don't know.   I had problems drinking over the weekend. Did good but wasn't able to finish one. :laser:   Oh ya; went to Soak City w/the kids Saturday. Did good while eating. Had hamberger meat w/half the bun. (twice--there till 3:30) AND--my bathing suit kept falling off of my shoulder!! :omg: Which at times it was to reveling. My feet and my lower back hurt by the time I got home and was resting. But my rt knee didn't! I still have problems when I kneel on it though.   I also have had to change watches cause its to loose.

8 days out

OMG; this morning at 4:30 am I awoke in a sweat & a bad tmmy ache. I got up and took some tumms and felt better instantly. But I found that I was very pale and very wet. I've called the nurse & she needs to speak to the doctor first. I'm doing half protein and mushy food. I started out w/yogurt 3 days ago (good), black beens w/cheese, fishsticks & taquettos (2 ea.), and mashed potatos last night. Oh ya somewhere int here I've had cottege cheese w/pineapple. I think I'm doing well. I do get hearburn every now and then but I can't tell if it's from the food or the protein. I need to pay more attention to that.

Oh do I have an attitude today

B-8:30am: Protein drink w/12 oz 2% milk & ½ banana L-12:30pm: 1 sl wheat bread w/butter & American Chz (grilled chz), 2 sl apple and 5 grapes. I just can’t wait for the kids to go back to school so they will have something to do all day long. My oldest each and every morning asks “Mom what are we going to do today? Can we go anywhere?” I went to support group last night and I’m becoming more familiar with everyone now that I talk to. Joan had the two books “Living & Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery” & “Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery”. She said that I could keep them till next month’s meeting. I am doing ok on the water but still not like I was. I need to get back on track w/that. I'm still not sure if I want to get a fill. I like my feedom of drinking more then a sip at a time or eating just a bit more. I quess I'm also afraid and what I've been reading about getting stuck or not going through or vomiting. I know that if I get a fill that I will limit myself some more and I want that--just not the scary stuff that might happen. I need to get into the gym. I keep telling myself that I can just wait one more month and the kids will be in school and I'll have all the time in the world. But I need to start more then the walking that DH and I are doing, or trying to do 3 times a week.

Day 14

Well I'm not having those pains anymore. Well I haven't since the weekend. I'm back onto solid food and all is well. Sunday I took a nap around 4:30 and didn't get up till 7:30 the next morning when DH asked me to get up to make sure I was ok. I was fine. Monday was sooooooooo hot. Today is better but it's muggy. I've had a egg breakfast burrito. I tossed half the tortillia. I didn't like the way it tasted. I used immitation egg beaters. It wasn't to bad. Well it's 12:40 and I'm getting hungery again. Not sure what I want to eat that well keep me full for the next few hours. I need to drink more I know that. Oh ya; on Sunday I went to Taste of China and they won't give me the kids meal price. They say that they have people that just order from the full menu and take the rest home. The kids need to go back to school. Their getting on my nerves. I have my first follow up appt w/Dr. Bronson tomorrow. Won't get a fill for another 3 weeks.

Having so much fun at the BEACH!!!

I have been going to the beech so much this summer with my kids and actually enjoing it.   I have been actually going into the water and swimming or boogie boarding with them. :thumbup:   Today I swam out into the ocean as far as I could with my oldest son. I haven't done that since I was a teenager. It was such fun!   I can see that my kids are happy that I am not just sitting on the beach watching them and taking pictures, I'm really out there with them.   I started in a Zumba class back in April. I know that this has given me so much from energy to self confidence. I am up and out and not just sitting around. I've dropped 11 inches and 7 pounds! :smile: LOVE IT!     I really started focusing in getting back into the right frame of mind on how to use my tool to its potential back in January of this year.   I started by journaling my food and finding blogs that would help me and going back to the doctor.   When I stopped going to the doctor back in November in 2007 I had left at the weight of 198 and thought that I knew what I was doing because I was losing weight.   In January of this year I started at the weight of 205, I am now lower then I was in November of ’07, I'm at 196.   I am so happy that I’m working on this again! :tt1:

1st post Doc. Visit

207# My scale is off my 3 #'s :omg: But all is well. He said that I can swim and continue w/the way I'm eating. Need to make an appointment w/Radiology for my first fill in about 2 weeks. But if I'm doing well enough I can cancel it. I know that I'm full faster now but I don't know how I'll be in 2 weeks. Bruce is concernded that me might lose his job because of a conflict w/the new department manager. If he loses his job where will that leave me w/this new tool?

Oh how sneezing hurts

I started sneezing over the weekend and I'm finding that my lft side hurts from it. I hope that it will get better with time. I don't want to have to hold my each and every time I have a cold.   I'm still holding at 205, but the other day I saw 204 :cool: . I hope I will reach my Christmas goal of 193.   I'm really looking to lose 3-5 pounds a month. More then that is a blessing.   Over the weekend I wanted chocolate--and I found it. I haven't had a period for 4 years except when I stress out and it will come for a week and then go away. Well I was spotting all week (very little), I had really bad mood swings and my lower back was really hurting. I guess the stress from the surgery and shit finially got to me. DH said my peroid might come back. I hope not, I hope this is all I'm going to see of it--again.   I have been good about my eating but not really good. I've been having small portions and eating my protein first but I've also been having bad stuff: Chocolate Chips Bread Corn Tortillas French Fries Fried Fish   I keep telling my self that I will go on to Fitday.com and start logging, but damm, I don't have the time to sit and write down all my food. I had a problem doing that just putting it onto the paper.   :help: I MUST START LOGGING MY FOOD!!!!!!!:help:

Back on track!

I’ve been on track for two days now and it feels good to be eating food and not just snacks—the wrong kind of snacks to be exact. While I was at Zumba (exercise class) yesterday, I had many people ask “what have you done, what are you doing, you look marvelous”. This is the only place outside my house I wear skin tight clothing. So everything shows. Those moments are what I needed, a reminder of what I’m doing. As I explained my routine (leaving out the band info---that’s a need to know bases ya know) about exercise, eating right, keeping a journal, sticking to a certain amount of calories per day and making sure I drink enough water. It clicked. I got it. I’m going down the right path to get back on track again. I needed to hear it out loud, to bring it to the forefront of my brain. It felt good to share my experience, help others to start on a program for a better and healthier life.

What a day

Today was a bit crazy.   Took all the kids out to see a movie (free) but it was full. So I took them all to get new shoes and it wasn't fun. They all couldn't listen. I was yelling left and right to either "stop it", "don't touch it or him/her", "what is our #1 rule?"... Then when we got home it was just the same.   Ty had another game so when we got home we needed to get ready and go back out. The only good thing about the out come of tonight's game is that we will not longer have practice each and every night. We lost 6-11.   I got up at 7:45 when DH woke me up to do the tie but as I lay back down I realize that the trash needed to be put out.   B/9:30 while driving to the movies. Wheat thins w/a bottle of water L/1:00 IHOP-ordered a grilled chicken salad. it had chz, tomatos, carrots, hard boiled egg, lettuce, ranch and honey mustard dressing. Large glass of lemon water w/pink surgar. D/5pm Carl's Jr. Chz burger w/tomato, onions, pickles, mayo, ketchup, lettuce, bun. Lrg Coke (didn't fiish it) PM Snack: 4 Gummy snack bags   Our freezer was causing things to frost up. It started a while ago but got really bad w/in the last week. Well today when we got home I thought that we had left it open. I could see that things had been melting. Well when I got home (9ish) from the grocery store I noticed that it was still the same and it looked even worse. I added the food and put up a sign asking not to open it.   I think we'll be needing a new one and right now we really can't afford one.:redface:
