Hello all WLB's Day 51 MONDAY I wound up at the pediatrician's (where I always weigh) on Monday, so I decided to go ahead and take a peek at the scale. I couldn' t believe it was down at least a pound and a half, from when I weighed on Friday 239 now!!!!! It has been about seven years since I have gotten down this far! I really hope the scale keeps crawling down on the numbers!    75 min Circuit at Y, 96 oz+ water B: 80 yogurt L.180 yogurt and banana D 290 box S   70 s/f pudding       97 s/f n/f chocl milk      120   ...

I weighed in on Friday at 241 lbs, that is three pounds down from last week and a total of 17 pounds in 48 days! I have had an odd few days with my plan. Friday night, the kids and I were up talking and spending time together. i wound up in the oreo's around 2 am. Broke one of those golden rules about eating ...again... I've really been craving real meat (I don't call what they put in a box real meat!)  so on Sunday I tried to have more of a no (bad/white/processed) carb day, and paid less attention the...

Yesterday, started out to be on track until we packed everyone up and went to the Drive-In. I don't think that my over consumption of cashews is all that negative in the whole scheme of it really. This has been, in the last 12 days of being on the 1,000 calorie plan the one time so far I busted loose a bit.  I think I did really well to pass the candy bars up as much as I did. I'm horrified to think of how much of it all I used to eat pretty regularly!! 65 min Circuit at Y 96 oz...

Hey everybody! I got to the gym at about 11 am to do my circuit. I have a routine if using the bathroom as soon as I get there (all this water...). I always wash my hands and dry them really well before putting on my gloves. I could have died when I looked down drying my hands and the stone to my wedding ring was gone!  I searched all over the gym for no cause and after shedding a few tears,  I put in my 65 minutes of circuit. I noticed when I had to pee again on the way out,...

I went to my first appointment with my orthopedic surgeon today, and got what I think is good news. He shared with me that the suspicions that my MD had about needing knee replacements were inaccurate. Apparently my joints are in decent shape. I am scheduled for an MRI to see what else could be wrong. Because the coritsone was affective in my knees, he knows there is a problem somewhere in my knee. Thank God I found a doctor concerned enough to actually try to find out what it is. He is suspicious of a torn meniscus (sp?). If...

I've gotten a lot of responses concerning this 1,000 calorie plan that I have a started. I would like to first say especially to my buddies who have been with me a while:  thanks to everyone who is genuinely concerned for me and my health, the second part of this blog is not intended for you.... I would also like to emphasize that this plan isn't  MY  plan. This plan is one that my MD and nutritionist are working on together. So some of the more highly opinionated and uneducated  "constructive criticism" isn't necessary. I think if my medical professionals...

Yesterday I quickly learned that drinking protein shakes regularly probably won't work for me. They are gross. I can't seem to scrape it out of my mouth all day after I drink one..so, I altered the plan just a little. I prefer to have a yogurt in the morning before i work out, and particularly on those days that I am working out, i am going to eat a boxed meal for lunch as well as one for dinner. It was a lot more comfortable to me today doing it that way. It worked out well until Little Caesars got...

I started the new 1,000 calorie plan today. I really  believe that i've been measuring my food right all along, as I don't feel like I've eaten any more or any less than any other night to speak of.  I am going to have to work a little bit around the stipulations as just having shakes every morning and afternoon for thirty days isn't going to go to well-especially if I keep up circuits at the gym. I think I may have to throw in a lower calorie lean cuisine in for lunch once in a while, or an xtra...
