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! :)

Official Weigh In Day
Wow, I've been busy. Work has been fairly busy, and so has home. So many things going on, I forget to post here.
So, I've been so busy I haven't been exercising enough. I'm still losing weight because my band is very tight right now, but that's not enough by itself anymore. I've lost almost 80 pounds (only one more pound to go for that goal) so I'm not doing bad, but I would like to have lost just a bit more by now. There have been set backs, like the surgeries, and the unfill, but it still feels like my fault. I was losing 2-3 pounds a week in the beginning, now I'm lucky if I lose one. I go down, then come back up and then go down again. Luckily it's a downward trend either way. I just wish it would go faster. It would help if I didn't eat so much junk.
So on the exercise front I've been getting in some exercise every week. At least one 45 minute session on the elliptical for the last couple weeks. 1-2 40 minute walks in addition to that. I started week 4 of the Couch to 5k yesterday. That was so frickin' hard. I couldn't believe it. Tomorrow I will do it again. I suspect that week 4 will take me 2 weeks or more to get down completely. Had I not been slacking for the last couple weeks it would have been easier, I'm sure.
Hopefully I'll see you guys again tomorrow when I post my 80 pound loss. lol

Happy New Year!
Well, it's a new year. And time for thinking about my goals for this year... weight wise and life wise I want to make a few changes. I of course still have a bit left to lose, about 60 pounds. I also need to decide at what point I want to change up my wardrobe. Or if I want to have to change it up twice or more times. Or I can just keep going how I am, buying a new piece here and there, and getting rid of things a little at a time. The only problem with that last option is that I may not get coordinating stuff. Not that everything has to match, it's just easier that way.
Resolutions for 2010:
1. Get to marathon level running.
2. Lose another 60 pounds.
3. Move to a place that has a washer/dryer hookup.
4. Get my wisdom teeth out.
5. Get a new car.
6. Finish dealing with my bankruptcy.
7. Save money, for emergencies, and tummy tuck.
I may add more resolutions when I think of them, but this is enough for now. Well, thanks for reading. Happy New Year everybody!!

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.

Annoyed
The boyfriend knocked the Wii sensor on the floor behind our TV last night, and didn't want to pick it up till today, and I can't reach it. Which means no weigh in this morning. Grr. Oh well, maybe if I'm super lucky it'll be under 200 tomorrow when I weigh in. My 6 weeks of no exercise is up, so if it's not raining too hard when I get off work, I'm going to restart my couch to 5k. That'll give my metabolism a jumpstart for sure. I was going to do the elliptical today at lunch, but I forgot to pack my gym clothes. Maybe I'll come back to work and do the elliptical if it's raining. Then I can just come in, do what I have to do and leave when I'm done, and shower at home. That's a really good idea. I might just do that.

Hangin' Steady
I'm at 204. Only a few pounds away from One-derland! But I'm not allowed to exercise, so it feels so far away. I'm only allowed to walk, slowly, for 6 weeks. I'm done with 3 of those, so it's only a little longer. It just feels like it's draaaaaaaaaagging by. I finally have all my drains out. Not sure if I mentioned that already.
I'm looking skinnier. Several people have commented on that in the last week. I'm back in my size 18 jeans. They're a little tight, but not in a gross way. My tops are 14-18, or L-1XL, depending on the style. My neck is looking longer, and that's just awesome. I have on some super big hoop earrings right now, that I couldn't wear before because there wasn't enough space.
I'm not as scared about getting my picture taken, though, now the the fat is coming out, I have to worry about wrinkles more. heh.
So, overall life is ok. I'm still weighing myself daily when possible. I'm also out of old clothes, so once these get too big, I'll have to buy more. I'm ok for now though, since I'm not losing much right now.
Oh, also, on the food front. I'm still having trouble eating. Which is probably why I'm still losing even though I can't exercise. I'm still going to wait till I can exercise though, to tell the docs.

Feeling Crappy
Found out yesterday that my tubes will be taken out today. Big Plus! Awesome.
On the weight loss front, I'm doing alright considering I'm not working out at all. I'm down to 206, which will either level out or increase tomorrow, because they're putting saline in my boobs to increase them in size, so even if I lose a little weight, it'll balance out the boobs. If not, then according to the scale I will have gained. lol It's ok though, I know the real reason.
Trying really hard to get my liquid in for the last few days, because whenever I eat it's 1-2 hours before I can drink anything without feeling like I'm gonna puke. And this isn't even to the "stuffed" point of eating. It's just to the full point. I think there's a chance I may need some unfill, but it could also be because I ate too much at one point last week and it caused me to puke, which leads to swelling which leads to more puking... bad cycle. I'm trying to go easy on it now, and not even eat to full, and I'm trying to stick with soft foods. For the last two days the main portion of my diet has been cottage cheese. I figure calcium and protein. Good combo.
Well, feeling crappy or not, another pound down and closer to 199, so I'm happy I suppose. :)
Oh, one more thing... I was feeling kinda crappy about my progress because of the surgery I thought I wasn't going to lose any weight this month. Well, I was just looking at my weight on the 8th, compared to today... in 3 weeks I've lost 10 pounds. That's awesome. So really, I can't complain.

Roller Coaster Ride
Total Pounds Down:
I'm back down again. Just over 5 lbs. lost. I've been avoiding the scales for fear that I would have gained weight but felt I needed to do it this morning and get it over with. I just took a look at my last post and realized that I hadn't updated that the 217 I had been at had only been temporary. I was back down to 212 a few days ago. The 207 is 5 pounds down from even that. So what I thought was going to be a horrible month for weight-loss turned out to be ok. Yay!
I'm still healing from my surgery, and still have tubes in my sides, so typing for extended periods of time is still not cool. This post is short, sorry.
I go in on the 29th to add fluid to my new fake boobs. So, I'll gain weight there, but not real weight. lol Fluid, not fat.
Oh, and I didn't go back to work Thursday. I'll be there Monday though.
Current weight: 207 lbs.

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.

2-0-freakin'-9
Yeah, you read that right. 209lbs. I lost over 5 lbs this morning. I guess my camping trip took a few days to catch up to me. I was expecting this loss when I got home from camping, but as you know, I actually gained a little weight. Here's photographic evidence, just in case it jumps
I haven't run this week. I'm working on the things I need for my surgery next week, oh - did I mention that it got moved up to NEXT MONDAY? I'm not ready... omg. What was I saying? Oh yeah, getting ready for my surgery next week. I had labs yesterday (meaning they took blood from my arm) and I have my Pre-Op appointment today. And on Wednesday when I was supposed to run, I didn't have my truck with me (the BF had it) so I couldn't go meet my running buddy, Brandy, at the park. Which for me meant, hey, I can wait on that till tomorrow. Well, tomorrow got busy and it never happened. Grr.
I'm going to try to run this weekend, but we'll see. I wanted to get week 2 of the couch to 5k this week, so that I'd be further ahead after my surgery. I won't be able to run for awhile because ... no bouncy bouncy. I will jump back on the elliptical though, asap.
So life was a little sucky yesterday, I was feeling down and very stressed out, from the surgery coming up, from the labs I had to do yesterday (needles - ICK/OUCH).

Weekly Weigh-in
Time for another fill? I don't feel like I can eat very much, but somehow I've managed not to lose any weight last week. That makes two wasted weeks this month. Wtf? I was sure I would have lost like 3-4 pounds over the weekend. I went camping, and we camped on the bottom of a hill, so I had to trudge up and down that hill about 20+ times to first bring the stuff down the hill, then bring it all back UP the hill. I don't think I ate that much, but then, maybe I did. What's wrong with me? Jeez.
I know I didn't drink enough fluids while I was out there, so maybe it's just water weight, and by some miracle, tomorrow I'll be down to 210! lol. Probably not a chance in hell, but whatever. If I go another week without a loss, I'll schedule a fill. That's that.
On a NSV point... I look smaller. I've been noticing in the mirror that I'm visibly smaller than I was. Sweet.
Current weight: 216 lbs.

Tic-Toc
Counting down to 199. I woke up this morning and weighed in at 217! Yay! Steadily dropping almost a pound a day. I'm guessing tomorrow will be only about .6 lbs based on the pattern of the scale for the last few days. Which means I'll be on 217 for two days. It could surprise me, but I really don't think so.
I've been trying to get in more liquids, unfortunately it's mostly sugar free kool-aid, as I'm a little tired of water right now. The point is, though, that I'm getting more liquid!
I've been cheating a little and eating chips, but not alot. Had about 1/4 cup of hamburger hash for dinner last night. That was as much as I could handle. Hamburger is hard to chew fully, it's like freakin' gum, it just goes on and on. The hamburger was mixed with ground pork for the meat, but I think the hamburger was truly the problem.
Exercise wise I didn't really get any yesterday, I had stuff to do, finishing up school shopping. Today I've done my short-version walk, it's about 25 minutes (maybe 30?) and bad girl that I am, I had a 16 oz chai with skim milk. Probably falls about the 300-400 calorie mark. It's that time of the month, and I wasn't feeling well this morning. It was my way of soothing myself, nice warm tasty liquid. I also had a few bites of a rice krispie treat.
Just now, for lunch, I had a few bites of chicken thigh with BBQ sauce, and two small bites of potato. It was too much. Or maybe I didn't chew well enough. I was pretty hungry. When my tummy feels better I'm going to try to eat more of the chicken, because I need the protein, but I'm done with the taters.
Because it's TTOTM I probably won't be doing alot of exercise unless it's after work. I hate dealing with the pad issue, and taking a shower, and changing in the public'ish locker room. So maybe I'll switch to after work for this week, and if I still walk at lunch, the better for it. I'll get double exercise! heh.
I saw a leaf drop today while I was on my walk. Fall is definitely on it's way. I'm excited for the cooler temps, it will make running nicer and not so sweaty. I don't look forward to the rain that comes with it though. lol
In other weight/fitness related stuff: I started my xmas list for this year, and it's going to be chock full of fitness/outdoorsy stuff. I'm even thinking of getting a membership to REI.
Here are a few things that are on my Xmas list:
So if any of you want to do a secret santa, lemme know! lol I don't know how you'd do that online, but who knows. We can figure it out!

Back on Track
Freakin' yay!! 219 today! I messed up on a week, but now I'm back in the game. I'm down to barely 219 so tomorrow I should be at 218, because I'm not being bad today and eating things I shouldn't eat. Not drinking this weekend either. So, go me!
Exercise wise I've walked everyday this week except for the days when I did the elliptical (3 days). I ran last Saturday, but that doesn't count for this week. I plan to run later today too, so that will encourage even more loss.
This is a short one cause it's Saturday and I have stuff to do. TTYL!
**UPDATE 5:36 PM **
Just got back from my Saturday run. I did all NINE run segments!! It nearly killed me because my asthma meds never kicked in, but I darn well did it!! OMFG !! Oh, and before my run I did sit-ups, 1 set of 20 then 1 set of 15 a minute after the first set. That's 35 total! More than I've ever done in one session of sit-ups.
Current weight: 219lbs

Back to Losing!
Good morning! I have had a happy day so far! I weighed in at 221.2 this morning! Finally I'm back on track. I still lost a week of loss, but whatever, I shouldn't have been out drinking and off eating all that crap. That'll teach me, won't it?
Yesterday I still slipped a little foodwise, but I think it's because my band is too tight right now. So it's messing up my eating. I'm not gonna have any taken out yet, because I think it's tight because my stomach is irritated. All that bad food last week, I've really been mistreating my stomach, causing it to swell.
I'm eating better today. I have soup for lunch, and just had some boiled eggs with salt for breakfast. Minus most of the yolk (it's dry). Yesterday wasn't awful, but I should have been on all mushies, or better yet, liquids. I've just been too lazy to make protein shakes. I need to give my stomach time to heal. It's been growling even when I can't eat another bite, and based on all the other blogs I've read, it's a sign that the band is too tight. It's also been causing me lots of pain and I've been puking. I've only ever had 2 PB episodes, but I've been making myself puke because I've been getting stuck alot.
What I ate yesterday (if I remembered it all; I was snacking alot):
Breakfast - 1 SF Rice Pudding
Lunch - 1/2 cup of bite size chicken bites (breaded breast meat) w/bbq sauce
Snack - 1/4 cup of bite size chicken bites w/bbq sauce
Snack - 2 heaping tbsp cottage cheese, 3 bites of Nectarine (of which I had to puke back up some)
Snack - 2 bites of frosted banana bread, 1 bite of red licorice, 1 dorito
Dinner - 1/2 avocado with salt/pepper
Wow, looking at it here it doesn't seem like I ate much. When I was thinking back on it it felt like a LOT. If you add it all up its less than 3 cups of food total. Today will be a little more, because of the soup, but the calories will still be low, because it's soup. lol
Also, I jumped on the elliptical yesterday, and did two sets of 15 sit-ups. It was great. Both are getting easier to do, so I can do more/harder settings. I'm very proud of myself for that. I can't wait till I can consider myself an athlete. I would love to be able to do 50 sit-ups at a time!

What I ate yesterday (if I remembered it all; I was snacking alot):
Breakfast - 1 SF Rice Pudding
Lunch - 1/2 cup of bite size chicken bites (breaded breast meat) w/bbq sauce
Snack - 1/4 cup of bite size chicken bites w/bbq sauce
Snack - 2 heaping tbsp cottage cheese, 3 bites of Nectarine (of which I had to puke back up some)
Snack - 2 bites of frosted banana bread, 1 bite of red licorice, 1 dorito
Dinner - 1/2 avocado with salt/pepper
Wow, looking at it here it doesn't seem like I ate much. When I was thinking back on it it felt like a LOT. If you add it all up its less than 3 cups of food total. Today will be a little more, because of the soup, but the calories will still be low, because it's soup. lol
Also, I jumped on the elliptical yesterday, and did two sets of 15 sit-ups. It was great. Both are getting easier to do, so I can do more/harder settings. I'm very proud of myself for that. I can't wait till I can consider myself an athlete. I would love to be able to do 50 sit-ups at a time!

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.

Missing Weigh In
Grr. So I weighed myself today on the Wii, and it totally forgot that I checked it yesterday. So now there's no official record of my 221 achievement. Which broke my 11 week record. And on top of that, I'm back up to 222 today. Damn. And that's even without CAKE! lol
Here's what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - 1 SF Rice Pudding
Lunch - 1/2 cup of chicken chowder with two melba toasts (a single serving packet)
Snack - 3 meatballs with spag sauce, and a small bite of noodles.
Dinner - 1/4 of a Supreme Nachos and 3 bites of pintos and cheese (Taco Bell)
Drinks (with calories) - 10 oz of CranGrape juice. (approx. 180 cals)
(I don't normally list the rest of my drinks cause they don't have calories. Its usually water or tea with splenda.)
So I probably ate a little more than I have been, but still not very much. I'm not beating myself up about it because, honestly, I'm supposed to be eating a cup of food at every meal, three times a day, and I know I haven't been. It's been far less on average.
For exercise yesterday I got in about 35 mins. of walking. I would have done more, but I didn't have my phone with me, and therefore no time/watch. I didn't want to be late. I have it today though, and I plan to do the elliptical at lunch, and a half hour after work too. Hopefully I'll be back to 221 tomorrow, or even better, 220. We'll see. I'm not holding high hopes for this week.

Weight Update
See? What'd I tell you? Today is my official weigh day and I'm down 1.5 pounds putting me just under the 222 mark. So I sit here at barely into the 221, but I'll take it! Yay! I am skinnier today than I was yesterday! :)
What I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - 1 SF Rice pudding
Lunch - The elliptical, not really food, but that was lunch. lol
Snack - 1 SF Rice pudding
Snack(that ended up as dinner) - 3/4 grilled tomato and cheese on whole wheat bread.
I was feeling like I needed a snack when I got home yesterday afternoon, I saw my homegrown tomatoes on the counter, that really need to be eaten soon, and decided that I wanted a tomato sandwich. Regular bread wouldn't work though, so I wanted to try to grill it, as a grilled cheese, with a whole tomato in it! I sliced up the tomato as thin as I could, because it's skin gets stuck sometimes too. I buttered the bread, and heated up the pan. I piled some shredded mixed cheese on one piece of bread, and put a slice of american on the other side. Then added the tomatoes on both sides right away so they could get cooked too. I added one more slice of american to go between the tomatoes so they had something to stick to.
It was a wonderful sandwich. I ate 1/4 and had to stop. When that was clear, I had another 1/4, then about an hour later I ate the other 1/4. My sister ate the last bit that was there when I was done. I will have to do it again sometime, but only half a sammy. That way I'm not tempted to eat the whole thing! heh.
I'm not supposed to eat bread by the way. I usually don't. We're supposed to stay away from most carbs for the first year at least. Yesterday I figured it was ok though, because I'd only eaten 140 cals. up to that point (in the form of 2 SF Rice puddings) and I'd done the elliptical and burned at least 200 calories there. So I was running on empty, and needed something more substantial. Of course this "binge" meant that by the time dinner came around (2 hours later), I was no longer hungry, and the meatballs that were simmering in spaghetti sauce were not to be eaten by me. So, like any normal person, I played the Sims(3) during dinner, while the kids were eating. lol.

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.

Good weekend...
There was a going away party on Friday night. Went to my brother-in-law's house and said goodbye to Angel. She's going into the military. Played pool, drank 2 TGIF's Pina Colada's, the first one another shot or two of Coconut Malibu Rum was added. The second one didn't get anything extra. I also had a butter baby shot. Overall it was a good night. I got really drunk, and flirted with people. That was fun. :)
Saturday we went jogging, and I repeated day 1 of the Couch to 5k, later we watched Harry Potter 4, as we wanted to watch them all before going to see the new one on Tuesday. While watching the movie I ate some more of my leftover birthday cake, and a few bits of popcorn. I also did 3 sets of ten situps on this day too. After the jog.
Sunday I weighed myself and I was up .4 lbs. Not enough to be really concerned about though.
This morning I weight myself, and I'd lost the .4 and then some. I was down to 226 lbs!! I can't wait till tomorrow! I'm hoping to see 225. That will be awesome. I'm doing really well!
Later today, about 10:30 I'll be going jogging again. Gonna repeat the first day of couch to 5k, again. Because I still can't do all the run segments. When we did it on Saturday, I was able to kick out 6 sets, without my asthma meds!! Yay! And of course, I did walk the remaining time, so I wasn't just skipping out on the whole thing, just the running part. Wish me luck that I'll be able to kick out 7-8 of the 9 segments today. If I can do that, it'll be the last day I repeat day one, and I'll move on to day 2 on Wednesday.
