These are a horrible thing. I am finding myself getting more and more worried that I have lost all I can. I have been at the same weight for 2 weeks now. I am worried. I started keeping a log of my eating on FitDay Free Calorie Counter, and I think maybe I am eating too many calories. One day I will have 21oo or so, and other days I will have 1300. Protein is usually high in calories, and I need to have about 100 grams a day of protein, So I am a bit confused as to what I should do. After the surgery, My Doc said not to worry about calories, so... I am going to call the office here in a minute and see if I should start worrying about it or not. No luck... I had to leave a message, dang now I just have to keep guessing.
My workouts are good and steady, I could do more. I feel so tired when I get home I usually fall asleep for a couple . I have been doing okay on the vitamins and taking them Most of the time. My memory sucks! But I am doing it most of the time.
Just got a call from the doc's office and I was told,"No worries." So I will just chill out. , (sort of)
These little plateaus are normal. They happen. "Plateaus Happen." My new mantra.

Boy, am I sore!
Yesterday was such a great day.
I did yard work the whole day. I planted and plowed and re potted plants painted a bird feeder, cut the grass and spade for weeds. 8 hours of pure joy! I could tell after dinner that I was starting to get sore.
I am so grateful I was able to do all that! I had only been able to "wish" I could do all the things out side in years past. I feel wonderful, sore muscles and all! Yeah me. (plus my yard looks pretty good as well.!

I finally did it...
I bought something off the rack. That may sound weird but this is the first time in a long time I was able to buy a nice shirt off the rack in the "normal" size section! Yahoo! I feel great.

Goals to shoot for
April 18, 2009
New Goal to shoot for.
I have been thinking its time to “kick it up into high gear”. SO this is the plan
Long term goal: Have plastics in November
In order to make that happen, I want to lose 50 more pounds.
In order to make that possible I have to lose roughly 7 lbs a week.
In order for t hat to happen I have to,
1. Increase my intensity of each workout, and
2. Make great food choices, ie, NO SUGAR!!!
If I follow those two small short term goals, I should reach my goal of 49 lbs by Oct. 15th.
I really think this is an obtainable goal, and have every intention on meeting these goals.
The new session of Water classes start Monday, and I am teaching 4 days a week straight, Monday-Thursday. That means I could add weight training on Fridays and maybe walk with my husband on Saturday. I want to think, that this is a realistic goal. I am worried I will be tired not having a break in-between my work out days like I have had, but I am keeping the long term goal in my mind,,(plastics)

new cravings.. is that normal?
April 14, 2009
I feel like something happened in the surgery.. Let me explain. Before surgery, I had a take it or leave it attitude with sweets, well now I have a major sweet tooth. I not only want it I crave it. I need it I think about it. This is a new phenomenon for me. Before, I never cared about dessert or cookies but now, it’s like I have this monster inside of me. How to tame it is the question of the hour.
I need to be sure I do not bring sweets into this house! Besides the obvious, they aren’t good for me, it is so painful… White sugars, white flour, white rice, all are poison to me. I get the worse stomach ache and the gas is something horrible, both in pain and smell.
I get so bloated I look 8 months pregnant. Even knowing I will have all those side effects, I still reach for the sweets. I have to get a hold of this NOW. This is a demon and I have power over it. I have bought “no sugar added” ice cream. I am happy with that! It tastes good and I don’t have pain with it. I even bought me some sugar free jello, and sugar free pudding, So, I am trying…

Easter 2009
Sunday April 12, 2009 Easter
Today was a good day but what is the deal with all this candy. I have had a huge change in my desires for food. I used to not care at all for sweets and now I go crazy. I ate a ton of candy today and tried to counter it with lots of Ham, I mean protein. Dinner was nice and I did a good job of eating slowly and trying to not eat too much. If I eat fast at this stage of the “game” I get sick and I am full before I have even enjoyed anything. So today I enjoyed it a lot. I even went back a couple of hours later for more ham. It was great. I am sure I will be a bit puffy in the morning from the salt in the ham, but I will be fine other wise.
This stupid candy is almost gone, than heavens! I will do well this week. I have plans to eat like a champ! Goals for this week:
Exercise harder -kick it up a notch.
Water water water At least 64 oz.
have dinners at a normal time
That should pretty much do it. I have noticed that as I am teaching my classes, I don’t have to work as hard. It is difficult to talk and exercise, so I think I need to do it all a little harder and faster. And the water is such an easy thing, and yet… It is sometimes noon before I realize I haven’t had any water for the day yet.
I have been doing really well at the planning of meals and getting everything done in a timely manner. I just want to keep it up!
That’s all for tonight.
