I did it...I completed sucessfully the 5 day Pouch Test..never cheating once. The first 2 days were hardest..but i did it. along the way I discovered that I can do the things that I really want to do..I just have to Really want to do it..& that my tool is not broken, I have been misusing and abusing it. I think owe my body an apology.

10/18/10 - Made it through the first day..had 4 protein shakes sipped throughout the day, for dinner made cream of chicken soup with a little unjury powder for texture..Consumed appox 500 calories in total..unintentionally low ..but OK :-)

10/21/10 - I am soooo proud of myself. Day 4 of the Pouch test and I have not deviated once. We had cake at the office and I did not take a single bite. Normally, I would eat several slices. TIME TO TAKE MY LIFE BACK FROM FOOD. Only 24 hours to go for the pouch test. Yeah me

Back again, I cannot believe this foolishness. I have no reason not to lose the 30 pounds I set out to lose ove a year ago. OK...today is a new day. My new game plan is to try Dr Oz Detox diet, not if..but when ia stick to it and the punds melt off..I plan on rolling it out t my husband and daughter, This weekend I will stock up on all the stuff I need.

I KNOW I CAN 

So moch has happened in the past year & a half that I haven't allowe myself the time and efforts that it takes to really take care of my self. with the addition of a 13 year old to the family, every day is  challenge. We have had  her for a year now and I think Ihave run out of excuses for my 30 pound weight gain and lack of motivation. The truth is I can find the time and  put forth the effort if I really wanted to. So this is where the rubber meets the road, time to put up or shut up. No more procrastination and excuses, time to get off my butt and do something, time to realize my own self truth & get busy living or get busy dying.

I haven't blogged fo quite a while, so here goes. Everything is going really well. I wet to see the nutritionist Dr. Aleix Landman 2 weeks ago. Apparently I haven't been eating enough. She gave me a diet sheet that includes more carbs, veggies and fruit. I was suprised that I was not eating enough and still at a plateau but she explained that my body was hanging on to the calores becuase it was getting so little. It is really weird though. I have lost at least 2 inches from my waist and thighs, but not very much weight.  I have been working out faithfully and walking 2-3 miles 5 times per week. I just got my first training session 2 days ago & I am still in pain. I feel sronger & healthier thanI have ever been before. I will just keep it up & see what happens. I am excited about goingto the Orlando OH Confrnence on Friday. I will be going with two girls form work. One  of them has already had the surgery and one is hoping to have it. We should have a  some serious fun. It will be a hoot just travellng with these two goof balls.

I cannot believe it. I have been jogging in the monings & have started losing weight again at a steady pace. Last Firday I was 207 & today I am 203. How cool is that!!!!!!  My Goal is to be below 200 pounds within a week. I know I can do it.


 

I am soooo proud of myself. For the first time im my life I have been sticking to some kind of exercise routine. While I dont always make it to Curves because of my work schedule, I get up at 5:30 Am every morning and walk or jog for at least a mile & a half. I feel great!!! I got on  the scale and weigh a remarkable 207 pounds. Amazing to think that a year ago I was 315 pounds and unable just to breathe. THANK GOD for this oppurtunity to rediscover myself. Through the grace of GOD I can do this and get to and maintain my Goal weight. My husband Gene has been completely AMAZING in supporting and encouraging me. He is indeed awesome.

It has been a while since I posted as I have been really busy. Ihit my first year Surgiversary with 110lbs lost. I was hoping to have lost more, however I am very happy with what I have accomplished. My goal for 2007 is not to make resoulutions that I cannot keep but to keep on track and renew my commitment for a happier healthier me.
