Holy Cow!  I weighed this morning and it was down to 313 pounds.  I am so HAPPY!
I have been drinking a protein shake for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch, and a sensible supper.
I am trying not to snack during the day and choosing a healthy small portion when I do.

Tonight for supper we are having a lite caesar salad with rotisserie chicken. YUM!

ARGHHHHH! Pizza Hut is my downfall!

11-19-10
Well I gave into the urge the other night and we ordered pizzas.  I gotta tell you they were so GOOD! Oh and breadsticks!  Sadly I had 3 breadsticks before we even made it home. :(  This is what happens when I don't keep my house well stocked with healthy choices and get depressed.  Let me explain my depression.

Monday we went to the bariatric seminar in Mayfield, KY.  It was so exciting to hear all about the surgery and the benefits it would bring to my health and energy.  My whole quality of life would be better with this surgery.  Now the BAD.  My insurance EXCLUDES any and all weight loss surgery, diets, whatever.  If it is weight related they ain't payin.  They will pay for years of high blood pressure medicine and all the other things I have wrong associated with being obese but not a dime to actually fix the problem!

So I am thinking as soon as we can get the 12000 together I want to go to Mexico to have the surgery.  I have been doing a lot of research on Dr. Joya in Puerto Varlatta (spelling?).  Please say a prayer for me, I need this life changing surgery.

Well things have  been going really good.  Who knew I would love broccoli?? I have been staying away from Pepsi and colas.  My greatest weakness!  Everything is sugar-free.  So far so good.  We have been eating more veggies.
I need to get out and take Pika for a walk before it gets too cold.  I think the added exercise would help.  Duh! Right?  It really hurts my back to be on my feet for too long.  I have really bad back spasms.  I am sure this is weight related and the more I lose the more this pain will go away.

Had a bit of a slip...We ate at Taco Johns for supper. Had a regular Pepsi instead of diet.  Well it was the first time I ate out in weeks so I am not going to totally beat myself up over it.

I SO wanted to drive over to Hardees and get a sausage biscuit with cheese...but I was strong and came home and got a yummy protein shake instead.  It taste like a Starbucks Frappachinno.
  I have got to finish laundry today and work on getting this house cleaned up.  Hopefully someone will want to see it soon.   We are trying to sell.

Teen dies in Atlanta suburb, senseless death!

Watching tv (CNN) there is a story about a 18 year old kid that was beat and stomped to death for absolutely NO reason!!  These 4 youths were outside a party and said they would beat the next male they saw.

This should be Murder first degree!

Made it through Halloween!

top weight 326
11/7/10-317  WOW!
Ok...I made it through Halloween without gaining weight.  I have been drinking my protein shakes and eating a meal bar throughout the day and a healthy supper.  I have been exploring healthier options for our supper and Portion control, portion control, portion control!
I have tried Pepsi One/ with Splenda and it is not too bad.  It does not have that horrible diet taste.
I discovered I love broccoli and caesar salad.
I have been waking up coughing at night.  It is getting very annoying.  Feel ok, not sick, just wake up coughing.  I think I am going to have to go to the doctor.  Sleep apnea?? I need to discuss weight loss surgery with her  and get her feelings.  She is overweight herself so she never makes a big deal out of my weight.
I am definately going to try to post more often.  Feel free to comment.
