Not good News

Hi everyone, I Have to tell bad along with the good. I want to share with you that I will not be meeting my goal of 209 lbs by November 4. I don't know what happen when I got my so call fill this month. Since I got my fill I've been eating and eating and eating. I've also been vacationing having fun. Eating out with associates. I haven't been watching what I eat. I started muscle toning but not much exercise as I usually do. So I said all that to say this. I will not set another goal deadline because deadlines don't work for me. I will just go with the flow. October just not a good month for me and my journey isn't over yet. Last weekend I went to Orlando with my kids the from there they came to Key West for the rest of the week for Fantasy Fest more celebrating and food.

A Butt Whipped Exercise Session

Good morning my fellow readers, I got up this morning to try something new. There was a Stroller Walk group. I thought it shouldn't be hard or challenging but I will give it a try anyway. I would be exercising with other people to make the workout go by faster. Boy was I in for a surprise, Strollers Yes. Walk yes/no We did more running than walking, I thought I was going to fall on my face. We also stopped a few times to do other exercises like run backwards, lounges and squats. Well at the point of running backwards I thought, I'm not coordinated enough to run backwards but I did it anyway and didn't fall. I was so tired. I guess that short run I did yesterday was preparing me for the run today. I will say this, My Butt is a little sore the muscles are waking up. I'm glad I did it. It was sometime I needed an extra push. I will be joining them again. I do have a goal to reach b 11/04. Until next time. Thanks for reading my blog. Please sign up as follower you will get updates on my progress. C U later come again.

Finally Got some Motivation

Hello again everyone. I got a push in my motivation from Jocelyn. She decided to set a goal for me. I usually don't set goals for the fear of failing but, I think setting goals is something I really need since I seem to be slacking in exercise. My goal is to reach 209 lbs by November 4, 2009. That's less than 2weeks to reach my goal. That mean I really have to workout. So today I went walking was able to keep a steady pace. My husband was with this time. He fussed and complaint the whole time we was walking. When I turned on my block I surprised myself and my husband; I started running and ran all the way home. Now, I think I woke up some muscles that wasn't really awake before. I have to say I do feel good and I am proud of myself for that run. I will be working out at least 2 times a day to try and reach my goal. I will set another goal. By my 4 month Post Op 12/4/09, I want to be in Onederland. If I reach my 1st goal I know anything is possible if you work hard at it.

Need to Lose my Stomache

Hi Everyone It's been a little over a week. I have been slacking big time with exercising. I've lose 1pound since my last post. Therefore I'm only 215 lbs. I'm slacking because I really need to go to the gym and work on my Abs. ( Boy do I need Coach Jocelyn Right Now in Person). I have no problem walking I can do that all day. It's the real work that I'm slacking with. The Gym offer Butts and Guts. I am going to go to that class this week. I need it very bad. I posted a photo so that you will see what I'm talking about. The walking just not cutting it for my Love Handles. I am losing inches. I still haven't measured myself. I have to admit I'm loving this size 16 and they are not too tight.

Official Weight Today

 Hi Everyone, I went to the doctor today for my check up. They was very happy with my weight loss progress. I got on the scale hoping it didn't read anything higher than mine at home. Now My Official Weigh in at the doctors office was 216.5 lbs Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm satisfied with that. I received a 0.5cc fill a total of 4.5cc. Was hoping for 1cc but it didn't happen. My goal is to work out more because September I was a slacker. I should have did more exercise but I didn't. I have to focus on the present and not the past. Now I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet for 2 days. I said suppose because I had 3 crackers. I tried a protein shot today for the 1st time. It wasn't so bad it was a punch flavor. I want to go to the gym tomorrow. I NEED to start some toning exercise. Well, I had to share that information; Because good news is music to my ears. Again I want to thank all of you for your lovely comments. They mean sooooo much to me. Your comments and knowing someone is keeping up with my progress helps me stay motivated. So, I say to you keep up the good work. Keep those comments and questions coming. Please pass my blog on. Until next time. 

9 Week Photo Update

Hello My Fellow Followers and Supporters I took some photos. Today is 9wks since surgery. I have not loss any weight I'm still at 217lbs. I am not complaining because I'm grateful I didn't gain any weight. I really need to measure myself; I know for a fact I'm losing inches. I can tell by my Clothes. They are looking better and better. Well today, I've decided since I cannot fit any of my clothes. I really need to get rid of them. So I'm going to bag all of them up. It's just so hard to accept the fact that I'm not going to need them anymore. This is a big step. You would think anyone would be happy to get rid of them. I guess it's a mental thing. I'm so use of gaining weight and never losing. This is a change I have to realize that I need smaller clothing and for the 1st time in a very long time I don't need a larger size. Yeah!!!!!!!!! I now see why people say they still fill fat. I have those moment every now and then. It's like I get that I'm getting smaller. But, the moment don't last long. It's definitely a mental thing. I have a doctors appointment on Thursday for a follow up and maybe a 2nd fill. Well that's all for now. Please feel free to leave comments and share my blog with other friends. Have a bless day.

That Scale!!!! Is he my Friend or What?

Hi Everyone, I have been eating up a storm this week Purposely. Only to see if I eat more calories what would happen because That Scale! That Scale! That Scale!!! It's not moving. I guess I should be and I am happy that it's not going up. But I was really hoping it go down. I have been at 219 lbs going on 3 weeks and finally yesterday I lost 2 lbs. Now I'm waiting for all the junk I've been eating to bite me in the BUTT. I have to say I really haven't been walking or exercising this week. I've been working and to tired to walk or exercise. I know that not a good excuse but it's the truth. I guess that would be a really good reason the scale didn't move either. I need to get myself back in gear and I am. Well that's it for now I wanted to share my 2 pounds lost. Thanks for following my journey. Until next time.
