Helloooo okay today is day 2 and I have 97 days to reach goal.

So I'm down one pound from last weeks weigh in.  I could've done better sure, but oh well.  I'm not upset about that, especially since it's close to TOM and I've been snacking a bit too much in the last few days.  That's why I've set this thing up so I can push myself and be motivated to reach my goal faster.  26 lbs now and I'm on my way!  Anyway the snacking stops TODAY and I get on this ball.  I will keep a log (minor log nothing fancy) on what I eat today.  I know what I should be eating and what I shouldn't. I don't care about the calories/fat/carbs - any of that.  I lose weight when I eat healthy and I get my workouts in.  Simple as that.  I do keep my calories up anyway when I'm doing my runs, that stuff burns a lot of energy, so I'll usually drink an extra power and calorie packed protein shake.  Yes, I still drink protein shakes, and no I'll never stop.  I need them and I like them.

My protein shake is usually the EAS Carb Advantage 11 oz in either vanilla or chocolate and half a scoop of Unjury any flavored - or Bariatric Fusion one scoop.  Both are low carb and and very high in protein per scoop.  I also add crushed ice and shake that up in one of my mixer cups.  I got them from GNC, its a plastic cup with a whisker ball inside.  It works great.

I have to fast this morning so no coffee, no nothing.  I'm having my panels taken this morning at 8 am and as soon as the results come back I'll be sure to post them.  It will be interesting to see if I'm lacking anything.  I mean if I'm low on anything I think it's my electrolytes - other than that I think I'm doing good.  I need to keep up on those.  I really don't like to skip breakfast so as soon as I'm done I'll come back home and make me some eggs and turkey bacon.  Yum!!!  I'm going to put some salsa and reduced fat cheese on my eggs.  I can't wait.  BTW my eggs are one whole real egg and one quarter cup of egg beaters (equiv to one egg).  So I can have the real taste of eggs and cut the cholesterol by one half.  Who says you can't have the best of both worlds??  

My Dr. Appt yesterday went extremely well and my Dr. couldn't believe how much weight I've lost.  She said... "You've lost One hundred anndddd... well you've lost a lot!!!"  LOL  That was pretty funny!  So she left me with a panel request to check all my nutrients and a slip to have my yearly mammogram.  Fun times I tell ya!  I don't have much in the way of boobage anymore so that is not something I'm looking forward to.  

See you all tomorrow!  I'll have my food log done and I'll share what I did for my workout.  Yesterday I didn't do any workout so nothing to share.  Oh I need to change up my routine.  I have it down as Thursdays and Fridays off, but I'd rather have Mondays off.  I hate Mondays... ugghhh... LOL
