Only 1# down this week. I am going to try to start drinking more Water. I never get in my fluids. I am also going to add lemon; it is a diuretic and also makes you absorb 1/3+- less carbs (glycemic index). So here goes...let's see how the next 7 days go :0)

I joined the Century Club this week!!

Ok, my Gw for this challenge was 145 lbs and last week I actually got to 146 lbs. So I was shy about 1 lb to my goal. However, this AM I was at my high bounce of 150 lbs. So sad. I had a very emotional weekend, both my MIL and FIL have passed away within 2 months apart and family are behaving horribly. So also mourning the loss of BIL and SIL. :( However, this is life and now it's time to kick myself in gear and get on with life. I have realized this past weekend that I really love my life. I am so fortunate to have this realization bc now it's time to move on. Yayyyyyy! I did make a ton of bad food choices, and now it's time to kick my A** and get back with taking care of my personal needs and desires. :)

I will now engage in eating healthy, protein's first, fresh veggies, low carbs Low carb (from veggies only), absolutely no chips, especially no cheetos, and increasing my exercise.

:)

I need to lose at less 4 lbs and this I can do with The basic bootcamp program my LilMissDiva! Thank you Irene. Now it's time to get my A** in gear and do it. :)

I had sticked to the plan except for yesterday at my husbands family reunion,,I was a bad girl :( So much good food and I ate tiny amounts but grazed throughout the day,,that'll get ya in trouble! So don't make the same mistake I did and think 1 day won't hurt,,cause it did.

Family drama always SUCKS! I am so sorry you had to go through this, but it sounds like you are moving through this and still focused. It will get better. It's amazing how deaths in the families can bring out the worst in people. Although I would prefer to have a family that I am close to, the fact that I'm not, makes me so glad that I don't live close to them. Sometimes we just have to do what is best for us.

Hang in there!

Niahri: thank you for your kind words. :) It makes me happier. and easier to deal with the issues at hand.

former_vgb: Your right, family drama sucks. We probably won't have to deal with them much longer. We have some legal issues and then going through IL's belongings, distributing them among 2 sisters and a brother, and selling the house as is. Then we are done with the BIL and his spouse. This BIL wants so badly to have a close relationship with my hubby (his brother), but his behaviors demonstrate the opposite. Crazy times. i will get past this, but for now, I think my emotions are more important and staying focused on my diet. :) I so love my life, after all, I could be in the same boat as the BIL and his spouse, very unhappy and manipulative. ;)

I had a pretty good week! Started mushies this week. Struggled with getting in Protein for the first few days, but I'm getting the hang of it! I did get in my 4 days of exercise. Still struggling with the Water. I sip and sip, but only seem to get to about 50 ounces.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
