It's ttotm, so I don't know if my current 197 lbs is actually accurate, but that's where I am *cries* I've been riding my bike, but also for the last two days I've been eating pie. And not just any pie, but brilliant, horribly, fattening pie. I came up with the awesome idea to make a pie in three layers, graham crust, with brownie baked in, then a layer of ice cream, then a layer of chocolate mousse. The mousse was probably the least caloried of them, because it was made with sugar-free pudding. Anyway, over the last two days I have had two 1/8th slices of that along with a few spoonfuls of the leftover mousse. The rest of my eating has been ok. Pretty much all good food. Or at least minimal food.
Last night for dinner I had a slice of pizza, just one, well two, that were cut in half so I could have two flavors. For breakfast I had 2 1/2 eggs (I didn't eat the yoke of the third) and for lunch I had a 7-layer burrito ez on the rice, with half the tortilla thrown away. That's been a pretty common theme for the last few days.
I was snacking on some chips day before yesterday though. Man, I really gotta get out of these habits. I looks so bad to see all this in writing. lol
That's all I have for right now. Hope all is well with you guys! :)

Still losing
Number of pounds down:
Well, apparently I'm still losing weight. I feel like I've been eating a lot lately, but I guess not. I'm sure my metabolism is better than it used to be so maybe that's part of it. Also, I've been doing muscle building exercises for my thighs. I'm trying to keep them in shape for when I can really exercise again. I have to be careful though, to make sure my heart rate stays down when I do them. So I only do them till I start to feel a little warm and breath heavier, then I stop and take a break.
Sorry for not posting recently. I meant to on my last official weigh in day, last Tuesday, but I got sidetracked. Also, when I'm not losing weight daily it's harder to get excited about posting. I feel like I have nothing to give you to read, heh.
In other news, I have an appointment on the 19th to add more fluid to my band. I've just been eating too much and for the last few days I've felt like I was constantly hungry. Even though I'm still losing weight, it's not very much. It's like a pound a week at most. I'd like to be losing 2-3 pounds a week. Or at least 2 while I'm not exercising.
Current weight: 192 lbs

10 Pounds up.
I've been MIA because I've been busy and eating like crazy. I got all the fluid out on the 3rd, because of the damn pork chop I ate, and for the last week I've been eating everything I knew I wasn't gonna be able to get down soon. I had Olive Garden bread sticks, pizza, pasta, and lots and lots of bread! Sandwiches, toast, etc. I've been a very bad girl. Now, I haven't been eating seconds (except once) and I still wasn't eating all that much in general. Just alot of carbs and stuff.
I didn't do too bad, or at least not as bad as I thought I would. In the first week I was gaining about 1-2 pounds a day, then it must have leveled off a little because I only gained 10 pounds, when I expected to gain 15-20 in that amount of time.
Either way, I've got fluid in there now, though, I'm not sure it's enough. And I'll go back in in a week or so to get some more once this settles. It doesn't feel like enough right now, but maybe tomorrow it'll feel more restrictive. That's usually how it goes.
Current weight: 205lbs.

No more pain!!
OMG You have no idea how much better I feel today.
Ok, yesterday I went in to work. I was feeling ok, not great, but ok. I ate a couple peanuts for lunch, and had some tea. All in all I drank about 2 cups of liquid throughout the day. By about 1:00 pm I was feeling like crap. My stomach was hurting again, and I couldn't drink anything. I even took some liquid vicodin to help ease the pain. I know it went down, but it was slow to take effect. Even when it did, I still hurt, just not as much.
I was completely dragging. I couldn't get comfortable unless I stood up, but because of the lack of food I was too tired to even do that. I had to content myself with stretching out in my chair a bit and trying to sleep/doze. I couldn't really sleep sleep because I was at work, and I was determined to tough it out to 3 o'clock. At three when I got off work I was almost incoherent. Couldn't talk very loud, because that moved my stomach and that hurt. I was in constant pain. It was awful.
I drove home to drop off the uneaten lunch that I had in my lunch bag and some other stuff I didn't need, then went to my doctor's appointment, which had been scheduled for 3:45.
Waiting in the dr's office I had to stand, sitting just hurt too much. I was on my knees on the bench holding on to the window sill next to it so I didn't fall over, waiting for them to call me. Finally they called me back. They weighed me, I was 194 according to their scales. Fully dressed, minus shoes. When they put me in my room I sat for a minute for them to check my blood pressure and whatnot. I was feeling very woozy and light-headed. While the nurse got all the stuff ready to have my saline taken out, I leaned against the desk. Standing, but held up by something.
The new doctors got there a few minutes later. I can't remember their names, but it was a man and a woman. They were very nice. Apparently it was their first day seeing patients in the clinic. They'd been on call over the weekend though, and were shocked that they hadn't seen me. I told them about what had happened since last Wednesday and the male doctor said I should have all my fluid taken out. He verified with me that I only had about 3.5 cc's of saline right now. He said I should leave it all out for at least 2 weeks, then I could start putting it back in again. I agreed, it was only two weeks. I could handle that. My biggest fear is that I don't do it right, then end up having to keep it out for longer. I'm doing so well on the weight loss, I really don't want to backslide too much. A few pounds is ok, but that's it. He also said I should avoid pork chops ones I get my band filled again. Eat some other protein.
They had me get up on the table, just like for a fill. They scoped out my port. It's just under my scar and tipped a little to the left. Like sideways. He said that as I lose weight it should flatten out some. I tried to pay as much attention as I could so I could remind them the next time they poke into my belly. While I was lying there he and the lady doctor looked at my face and said I looked pasty. Really pasty. With that worried look that doctors get on their face right before they send you to get hooked up to an IV.
He pulled out the fluid, and apparently there was actually 4.5 cc's in there! We were all shocked. Someone hadn't written the extra amount down, and since I'd had fills from two different doctors, who knows who did it. Either way, he took it all out. So I'm empty now. I felt better almost immediately. No more pain!
He had me drink a glass of water, and I did. He said if I could drink two glasses of water he'd let me go home, but if not, he was going to admit me so they could catch me up on my fluids. Well, let me tell you, that water was some of the best I'd had in a while. Not because of the taste, but because it was so refreshing! I drank both cups and was ready to go. I didn't feel woozy (as much) and my stomach didn't hurt. Thank goodness for small miracles. This means my band is probably not slipped, which was a concern. It doesn't mean for 100% sure that it didn't slip, but it's very unlikely.
We went up to Albany to drop off our friend that had been at our house for Halloween weekend. On the way up there we stopped at got Jamba Juice drinks. I got a Peanut butter Moo'd with no chocolate. A small one. I only ended up drinking about half of it. Once we got to Albany, we ate dinner at Panda Express. One of my favorite places to eat, that had been out of my reach before. Too many noodles and bread products. I had a "Bowl" which is one entree and one side. My side was NOODLES (my fav, yay) and my entree was mushroom chicken. The mushroom chicken was a little bland, I must say. I was just afraid to get anything spicy, for fear of irritating my stomach.
I was only able to eat about 1/2 cup of the food that they gave me, so I ended up taking alot home. Which is good cause I eated it for brekky today!! :D
I was very happy that I still was not to eat all that food. That means I still have some restriction, which should make the next two weeks easier. I'm doing my elliptical today after my boob appointment (last one, YAY!). I don't know what we're doing for dinner tonight, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it thoroughly. XD
Oh, and for lunch today I had a handful of fries, and a half of a chicken sandwich from McD's, minus the bottom bun (too much bread). It was SOOOO good. You have no idea. Crispy and warm. I had walked to McD's from my work, and it was so cold out I could see my breath. I sat there in McDonald's with my ear buds playing Christmas music and eating yummy crispy chicken and fries. I couldn't ask for a better lunch.

Back to work tomorrow
I've gained several pounds since last monday. It doesn't help that I'm home all day and bored. I went to the grocery store yesterday at got snacks. Candy and cookies and chips. Yeah, so very nutritious. blech. I'm a little grouchy today because my sleep pattern is all messed up from being out of work for over a week, and I had to get up earlier today so it'll be easier to get up early tomorrow.
Anyway, just checking in. Don't feel like a big post right now. Maybe tomorrow.

This week was a wash.
This week sucked, weight loss wise. Not only have I not lost weight, I've gained! I know what I did wrong. So I know why it's this way, but I'm still not happy about it. I've been eating like I'm starving. I keep trying to shove things in my mouth that I shouldn't be. On top of that, I've been drawing out my eating. Somewhere inside, I keep feeling like I'm not eating enough, so when I get full, I stop for a few minutes, then go eat some more. Grr. WTF is wrong with me?
Then, in addition to the bad eating, I also went out drinking Saturday. Which is so not good. Especially since I was drinking White Russians, which have cream or half-n-half in them. So talk about liquid calories! I ate a really greasy deep fried onion ring while I was there too. Mmmm tasty.
On the exercise front I did pretty good last week. If it hadn't been for the food, I would have probably lost a few pounds. I did the elliptical twice, and went running once, and the rest of the week I walked. Even on my day off!!
About the run... that was great. I got a knee brace, because the last couple times I ran I had trouble with it because my knee, and leg started hurting so bad I was limping home. Well, the knee brace worked wonders. It didn't hurt at all, except for the general soreness you get all over from running. Now that my right knee doesn't hurt so much, I'm finding that my left knee is on it's way out too. lol - so I'm gonna have to get a second one, and I'll be running with two braces on. I did 8 out of 9 run segments by the way! Go me! So I'm officially starting week one of the Couch to 5k. I'll be doing "Day 2" on Wednesday. I was going to do it today, but I forgot to bring my knee brace with me. Maybe if I have time, I'll do it after work. Maybe. Don't count on it though.
So, back to the weight talk... I'm back up to 222 lbs. which isn't a horrible amount back on, but it negates this whole week. Unless on my official day I'm down like 3 pounds, then I can't even count this week for loss.

Life is Lovely
I had a pretty good day yesterday. I did my walk at lunch. No elliptical, because I forgot my gym bag. I ate ok till I got off work then I started snacking!
Here's what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - Nothing
Lunch - 1/2 cup (or less?) of pumpkin-turkey chili
Snack #1 - 1/2 cup of pumpkin-turkey chili with 1 tbsp. sour cream
Snack #2 - FiberOne snack bar
Dinner - 3/4 of a small slice of pepperoni pizza *
* of which a bite or two came back out, the rest KILLED me for 45 minutes while it worked it's way down. Oh, it was awful. I should have stopped at a single bite.
So although it felt like I was snacking all day, I guess I didn't really do all that bad. The pizza was a bit much, but with the lack of breakfast, I guess that's where it took me. I would have eaten breakfast, except that I got up late, and breakfast was too close to lunch. So I figured my lunch would be my breakfast.
Current weight: 220 lbs.

NSV
No weight loss since the 2 pound drop the other day. I went up .4 yesterday, and down .2 today, none of which affected the current 224 number, so none of it was scary or great, but just the same.
Although, even with no loss, I'm starting to feel smaller. When I did my sit-ups this morning my belly didn't bunch up as much as it used too. It almost looked like a normal belly when I looked down. Also, I'm wearing a skirt that barely fit last week, it fit, but it was tight. This morning I put it on and it fits perfectly. Not tight at all. I have these shoes that tend to be on the tight side too, that fit better today. I'm even wearing socks with them, and I have some room to wiggle.
On another note, I didn't eat so great yesterday, and I'm wondering if that's affecting the scale. Here's what I ate, in case you're curious:
Breakfast: 1/4 cup store bought chicken salad
Snack: 4 blackberries (chewed/swallowed) , 3 blackberries (chewed/spit out)
Lunch: 1/3 cup chicken salad
Dinner: 1 pepperoni, 1/2 Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar
So that's it. I also had one sip of root beer, and the rest of my drinks were either water or peppermint tea with Splenda. The reason why dinner was so small is that I went to the dentist after work yesterday and it made me sick to my stomach, and my mouth hurt. I only ate the ice cream because the pepperoni was a piece off my BF's pizza, and he'd put hot pepper flakes on it, and didn't tell me till after it was in my mouth. The ice cream was the only thing that was soft, cold, and not water. (Water makes it burn worse! And I don't like milk.)
So, long story short, I didn't eat enough, I think, and my body reacted by only dropping .2 pounds. I also didn't really work out. I just went for a short walk, and did some mini-squats at my desk. I'm supposed to do my run today, but the weather is a little iffy out, so I may end up on the elliptical instead.

Free Day
Today is my free day. I'm going to have half a donut (if I am able) and am not doing any exercise today. I might walk some, but not unless I'm really antsy. Tomorrow is my next Couch to 5k day. It should have been today, but I'm holding out till tomorrow so I can run with my BF. He better not make me look bad. lol
I have a party to go to tonight. There will be drinking, but I'm not feeling well, so I don't know if I'm going to partake.
I lost enough weight to get to 227lbs. So I'm well on my way to my boob-job goal! Yay me!

Weight Update
No catchy title today, just a weight update. I had my run yesterday, and I was feelin' pretty good. I hung out the rest of my work day with my cube mate, that was pretty fun. Then... I went to the dentist. Lets just say, the rest of my day was pretty well crap. Going to the dentist to deal with my tooth again, same tooth that I've been in for twice before this, was a pain in my arse. Having your mouth forced open for over an hour is hard on the jaw muscles. I wonder if I could get a muscle relaxant next time? Maybe that would help. *shrugs*
Something he was using in my mouth made me cough a few times while he was working on my mouth. And whatever he was doing, something made me nauseous so I had a hard time eating when I went home. I had a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter for dinner. I just couldn't stomach anything else, and my mouth was hurting anyway.
I'm getting behind on my water lately too. I'm trying to work on that. I'm drinking water right now, before I can have my breakfast. I've been eating breakfast first, then drinking an hour later, but I think that's shrinking my water drinking time.
On a good note, my weight is down again! Yay me! It's at 228lbs now, and just barely. If I lose even half a pound more I'll be at 227. I'm so freakin' excited about this. I love this thing. I just need like... 50 more pounds down and I can get my boobs done. That would be nice. I'm going to make the appointment with the plastic surgeon in September/October after I've lost like 40 of the total 75 I need to lose. So I can prove that I'm on my way, and hopefully he'll schedule my boob job for November/December. I would prefer December though.
Well, I'm off to finish my water now.
Cheerio!
Current weight: 228lbs.

Happy Birthday!
What a great way to start the day, another 1 point something pounds down. I now officially weight 229 lbs. As today is my weigh in day, this will remain on my list over there on the right even after today has passed.
Today is my 35th birthday (and President Obama's birthday too! He's 48 today) and I'm having cake. If you want to see what kind of cake, go here. This is not my regular blog, so I'm not going to talk about my regular stuff.
Yesterday for breakfast I had a sugar-free cinnamon roll pudding. For lunch I had a slim-fast. For snacks during work I had some pork rinds. And for snack after work I had a Good Humor Almond ice cream bar. Well, to be honest I only ate 2/3'rds of it because it made me a little sick. My son ate the rest. For dinner I had a small bowl of homemade soup, minus most of the broth. It was pretty good but the meat I had in it was a little dry and got stuck on the first bite. After that, I basically shredded it, and at it little bits at a time.
So, I think that's all for now. I may come back later if I have more to post.
It's a good day bra'! (from that carl's jr. commercial - lol)

Monday Madness!
Over the weekend I went to karaoke, and got stone drunk. It was great. I've been eating very little for the last week. Last night for dinner I had a single hot dog, no bun, and about 1/4 cup of mac-n-cheese. I had to stop twice to let my food go down before I ate some more. I finished the hot dog, but left some mac on my plate. For breakfast yesterday I had pudding, and for lunch I had 5 wholewheat ritz crackers with cajun crab spread on them. That's a fair sampling of how I've been eating.
For my exercise yesterday I cleaned out our fridge. Totally detailed it, removed the shelves and everything. 1 and a half hours of hard labor. lol
I'm wondering if I should be doing protein shakes again? At least every few days maybe. I had pudding for breakfast this morning too. I need to invest in some flavorless protein powder to add to my puddings. I have pork rinds for a snack, and a slim fast for lunch. I would have had that for breakfast, but it's frozen, so I have to wait.
I don't know what we're doing for dinner yet.
I weighed myself on the Wii this morning and had lost another 2 pounds, after loosing almost a pound the other day, that's about 3 pounds for the week. Good deal! Loving it. Hee hee. It might have been more were it not for the alcohol on Saturday, but whatever, I had fun.
It's not my official weigh day yet. Tomorrow. So maybe I'll lose some more by then.
Current weight: 230lbs.

Weight Update
Had a good weekend. Played Forgotten Realms on Friday. Ate chips. On Saturday we bought some comics, and a small, grape, Arctic Freeze from DQ. On Sunday, I had two chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies. I was having some issues keeping away from carbs as you can see. I don't know what my problem was. It was snack snack snack all weekend. But this morning, I weighed myself and I was down to 234! I have a feeling the weekend is going to come back and bite me in the butt. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday no doubt. Though, even if it does, I know I'll be back to 234 by Friday, because that's how it's been going lately.
To talk about the nutritional stuff now, we had baked salmon for dinner last night, with roasted vegis (green beans, wax beans, carrots, mushrooms and onion), and flavored rice (from a box). It was soooo good. The salmon was a bit overcooked and thereby dry, because I'd purchased it frozen. And I was having trouble getting it to the right temp. It was still quite tasty though.Overall I didn't eat all that much, even with the naughty foods I have listed above. I calculated the calorie cost for what I ate yesterday and it was about 1000 cals. I don't know what it was for Saturday, but seeing as I didn't eat all that much, it was probably no more than 1500. So although all those things sound really bad by themselves, I'm pretty good at making up for it by eating less in other areas. Also, I'm not drinking caloried beverages either, which makes my calories far less than what they used to be.
One more thing... in NSV (non-scale victories), yesterday I had to do laundry, and I wanted to wash all my normal summer clothes. It was so hot though, that I didn't want to wear pants. So I looked in my closet and found a skirt that I had grown out of, and tried it on. It fit!! :D How exciting is that? It was a little tiny bit tight, but comfortable enough to sit down in. I wore it the rest of the day, and I have to say... I looked great in it. lol
Current weight: 234lbs.

Unofficial Weight Update
It's Morning again, and I weighed myself on the Wii. My weight is back down this morning to 236!!! Now, I'm barely in the 236 range, but it still counts! I'm very excited. But since the swelling went down from surgery my weight has done this down/up/down thing. It will go down by what seems like alot, then the next day, it goes back up, then, it goes back down again. So I'm starting to see this like a pattern. Which is why I didn't panic the other day when I went back to 238.
So this is officially the lowest I've been in over a year! Sweet!
About yesterday:
Yesterday morning I brought a piece of quiche for breakfast. It was 1/8th of the full pie (minus one bite, heh). I ate a couple bites of it and had to stop. A little while later I ate some more, and stopped. Then, later still, I finished it off. I'd say it took about 30-40 minutes to eat that one little piece of quiche.
For lunch I had a tamale. Out of a box, but very close to real tamales in style and taste. It was very yummy. I was able to eat that without issue and was actually a little hungry when I was done. Oh, also...I was on the elliptical for 30 minutes yesterday, and still had time to shower, get lunch, get water, and get back to my desk right on time.
By the time I got home from work, I was absolutely starving. My stomach had been growling since 1'ish and I was feeling light headed. I didn't want to eat though because I was trying to wait till dinner and I was doing something. My head started swimming at one point, so I grabbed a handful of peanuts and ate those. After the head swimming I started having spots in front of my eyes, so that I couldn't type because I couldn't read the screen on my computer. Finally, about 5, I gave up and laid down for a bit.
After about a 1/2 hour nap I felt a little better. The spots were gone but I was still starving. I wasn't feeling too well either. My stomach hurt. So even though I was starving, my stomach felt upset like I didn't want to eat. I didn't feel like cooking, so I got a pizza for the kids. I ate one of the pieces. The smallest one I could find. I expected it to get stuck or something. I did just have a fill the other day, and in the morning I wasn't even able to eat the quiche. It didn't stick though. I waited a half hour to let it settle and my stomach was still growling, so I got a leftover piece of quiche out of the fridge and ate that. No problems going down. Still hungry. My stomach was still growling, and hurting. That finally settled later so that I wasn't as hungry, but my stomach was still feeling weird, and so was I.
I went to bed then because I was tired, and it was time.
Current weight: 236lbs.

Weight Update
Wowee Zowee. I was afraid I was stuck at 238 and would never lose any more weight. (That's how it feels, you know, like a diet, a diet that will fail just like every other diet.) I did though! I lost another 1.2 pounds! This puts me at 237! In the bottom of the 237's even. If I lost another 1/2 pound I would be 236!! OMG. This is so awesome. Even without the fill I'm still doing ok! I would rather be losing 3-4 pounds per week, but losing any is still awesome.
So last night, I almost had a PB experience. The family was having one of those On-cor Entrees, the barbeque fake pork patties that we all love, but I didn't want to have those calories, so I got 3/4 of a chicken breast instead and coated it with the sauce from the patties. It was well tasty, let me tell you. So I put that, a little over a scoop of broccoli, and 5 onion rings on my plate. Well, to be honest, I ate 3 of those onion rings right off the pan, but the total eaten was 5.
So I ate all the onion rings, most of the broccoli, and all but a bite of the chicken. When I got to the last bite of broccoli and chicken, that I ate, I was almost forcing it down. It was just so tasty, and it didn't seem like I'd eaten that much. I've eaten whole chicken boobs before, and this was only 3/4. I'm thinking it was because I ate those onion rings first though. Anyway, I was stuffed to the gills. It hurt after a minute or two, then my throat started clogging up with slime, it felt kinda like the snot that builds up in the back of my throat when my sinuses get all crazy.
Nothing came up though. I don't think I was even nauseous. I had a slight pressure, right below the point that I would have felt sick, but it never quite made it that far. Then a few minutes later I burped really nicely and it settled better. Still hurt, but not so much, and the slime mostly went away.

Weekends are bad for me.
I am beginning to hate weekends. I have no will power.
Did I make my goals this last week? No. Well, some, but mostly, no.
I'm excited because I'm getting free movie tickets later this week, hopefully Saturday we will go see the new Harry Potter movie.
Here are my new goals for this week:
Did I make my goals this last week? No. Well, some, but mostly, no.
- French, 20 mins per day. I got this in on two days last week.
- Work out in the gym at least 2 times this week. Yes. This goal was met.
- Walk 30 minutes each day I'm not in the gym. All but Saturday. But to make up for it I walked 1.5 hours yesterday.
- Get to 235 lbs. by Sunday. Stuck at 238 because of some bad food choices.

Elliptical-tiptical
I am the master of the elliptical! Woo!
25 minutes! And still enough time left to shower and grab a snack.
I'm not having lunch right now, maybe on my last break, but not at lunch time anymore. I have found over the last few days that I'm less snacky after work if I eat lunch later in the day. So I just had a 70 calorie rice pudding cup. Man are they yummy. I could eat two or three of these things!! I only brought one though, thankfully. I then ate my two gummy multivitamins. And in a few minutes I'll take my b12 and my fiber. That should fill me up till break time and maybe longer. We'll see how it goes.
I have lemon pepper chicken for lunch. I brought 2 breasts, as I was going to have one for breakfast, but I had that donut, as you know, and I didn't want to add even more calories to that mistake.
I'm so excited that I was able to do that 25 minutes!! I just can't get over it. Boy was it hard though, and the gym is downstairs, so climbing up the stairs again was wretched. OMG. I'm going to stick to the 25 for the next 2-3 sessions at the gym, once that's comfortable I'll bump it to 30. If I want to get any higher than that, I'll have to do it after work instead of at lunch.

Woop Woop - Back to 238!
I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't make it back down again. Weighed myself this morning and I was down 1.1 pounds putting me at 238.3!! So I'm firmly into 238, and only have .4 to make it down to 237. I don't think I'm going to make my mini-goal of 235 by Sunday, because weekends are hard for me (food wise) and I make bad choices. But I'm sure that 237 is attainable. I am so glad I only have 3 weeks (ish) left till I can have my fill. Once I get some restriction the pounds should start to just MELT off. heh.
This time waiting for my fill is hard. I have some restriction, but nothing to write home about. I can pretty much eat what I want. I would really like to cut what I'm eating to half. I had a whole chicken breast for dinner last night, and a salad. Good choices, low calorie, but still. A whole chicken breast?? I think I should have had to stop at 1/2. Now, bear in mind that dinner made me very full. Once I stood up I got the full impact. It felt very heavy in my stomach. I could have eaten about 1/4 less and been full still, I think.
Drinking water right now, jumping on the elliptical later for 25 minutes. Seriously considering eating 1/2 a donut in the next 15 minutes or so. :( bad Angi.
Current weight: 238 lbs.
****UPDATE****
I didn't eat 1/2 a donut. I ate the whole thing. Raspberry filled raised donut. MMMMM...
I have no will power.

I now feel guilty, but happy. MmmmMmm... It's a good damn thing that I'm doing the elliptical today. I'm also going to add football tossing after work. I'll toss the ball around with the kids and work off a little more, and then maybe swimming. That should make up for that damn donut.

That Funny Feeling
My weight is up by .4 lbs, which puts me back in the 239 pounds area, as of this morning. I was sad to break my losing streak, but not entirely surprised. Weekends are not good for me. I have a bit of a co-dependent thing with my boyfriend, and when he gets snacky, guess who also gets snacky? On top of that, I made mac-n-cheese at the request of my daughter, and ate some. I knew I shouldn't but I just couldn't help it!
I know it's only .4 pounds, but I'm supposed to be losing weight, not gaining it back!
Needless to say, I was disappointed this morning. I'm sure it'll be back down soon though. I'm on the tail end of my "monthly issues" and I'm sure I'll drop a bit once I'm all done there. I also walked 40 minutes yesterday, and 40 minutes today. I plan to do it again the rest of this week too.
I remembered to bring my food for breakfast and lunch today, teriyaki chicken and apple sauce. (for both.. the chicken was leftovers)
When I was eating lunch today, I got one of those reminder jolts that I have something stopping me from eating. I got through with my chicken - protein first! - and started my applesauce. I got about 3 bites when I got this ... heavy feeling in my gut. I took one more bite and stopped. I only took that last bite because it was already half in my mouth when I felt the heaviness. It's a really good thing that I picked the smaller piece of chicken for my lunch, or I probably would have PB'd. lol
Which I haven't yet done, btw.

Little Update
Good afternoon!!
Just a little update. Things are going well. Healing well. Went to see my surgeon Friday, and was cleared for regular foods, which I was kinda already doing anyway. lol
So I made my 239 goal yesterday, and as of this morning I'm 238 pounds!! Woohoo! After researching on my Wii Fit, looking back at my history since we had it, I actually got down to 238 last year in May not long after we got the Wii Fit, because we were playing it obsessively. So I am now officially as low as I was a year ago, only this time, instead of going back up after wards, this time I will continue going down. Yay!! This is SO exciting! OMG.
2 more pounds and I will be 20lbs. down from the day after surgery. So that's my next mini-goal... 236 lbs.
