Went to my PCP today!

Good news! My BP was 90/70 and she took me completely off my BP medicine!

Also, I am down now a total of 58lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went last week while mom was there and in that time I lost another 3lbs. I didn't do much activity wise last week due to a terrible but I was real careful with my eating. Now it is time to kick it into gear, I want to be under the 300 mark before I have to go to my check up at the surgeons next week.

She yelled at me because my clothes were too big, she told me to get myself to the Goodwill LOL!

But they are soooooooooooooo comfy!

Feelin GREAT!

Today was Leanza's first day of her new school, it went fantabulously! :)

When Julio and I got home from dropping her off we did some weeding out front and cleaning and sweeping and moving chairs/benches, etc.

Later I took mom to her dr apt and guess what? I have lost 55 lbs already! I now weigh what I did before I got pregnant for Leanza 4 years ago!

I have so much energy when I got home I walked on my treadmill, I will do my weights later while I am watching tv.

Ok, I am motivated once again. I CAN DO THIS!

Feelin better

I am doing better.

I started to walk at the park with Julio, actually we got "scolded" by a police officer one night because we were 10 mins late leaving. Sheesh!!

So that walking really helps. I also have been lifting weights like hand weights a couple hundred reps a day!

Tomorrow mom has a dr apt so I am going to jump on the scale there to see how it compares to mine at home. I hope good :)

Feelin blue

I know I am just a day away from 2 months but it feels like forever!

I just feel blue, not sure what I need to get me excited about this journey again. I am sure and have been told there are many ups and downs on this ride so I guess I will just hang on tight.

2 months 1 day since surgery

I reminded myself for two days to make sure I wrote on the actual anniversary day and what happened? I missed it!!!!

Well not too much going on this last week. I am seeing a therapist to keep me on track and such. I was having problems eating, like getting food in and she helped me realize that food now isn't enjoyable but it is fuel and for me to think of it that way. So this week I did better making sure I ate during the day.

Tried chinese, garlic chicken didn't work, made me sick. I stopped before it got too bad so it was just a minor upset.

I am going to meet with a new friend from a support group online, she lives in Silver Spring she has the same surgery about 2 mos before I did so that should be neat.

Yesterday was 7 weeks since surgery!

I can't believe it has been 7 weeks, well in a way I can and in a way I can't.
I have been doing really good and not gotten sick, well I have not been eating either which is NOT good and I don't recommend but it is scary.

Yesterday I made a great bean salad with black beans and garbanzos, garlic, lime, evoo, salt and salsa. Tasted great but lots of carbs. I am really not in the meat mood. I have always had real issues with meat and now it is worse.

I have been trying to find some good "snacks" that are high in protein and low in carbs to fill the gaps in my day.

I have found a Smoothie King nearby and found I can have a "treat" when Julio and Leanza get ice cream at the near by Bruesters. The protein shake I get at SK has my whole days requirements of protein! In my entertainment book I even found a coupon for buy one get one free so I have one for today!

Julio took some photos of me the other day. I have some from the night before my surgery and now ones from my 45lb loss but I am still not ready to post them yet! :)

Thanks again everyone for reading my blogg and being so supportive, it really helps and means a lot to me!
Love you all!

Got Weighed today!

Well, I sure had a surprise today.

I went to my PCP to recheck my blood pressure medicine and I have lost a total of 45lbs!!!!!!!!!!!

And, she also cut my meds down from 100mg a day to 50! Hopefully next month I won't need it at all!
