Before After

NO CHANGES TODAY.

I still feel OK not losing again today because I ate three times yesterday, which I don't normally do.  I had cereal for breakfast, home made chicken noodle soup for lunch and about half a t-bone steak, half a baked potato and some corn for dinner.   That's twice what I normally eat and I didn't like the full feeling I got.   Today I had half a Publix sub and couldn't eat it all.  We're going out to dinner with friends so I'll have to watch what I order.  I waste soooo much food because I get too full. 

This is the first time in my life I'm eating to live....not living to eat.   It seems so weird to pass my favorite food places and not want the food.....or want it but know I can't eat it.  Have to see what my doc says tomorrow!  Good news I hope....though I'm scared.

UP A POUND, BUT THAT'S OK!

I was up a pound today but I feel great anyway because hubby and I started back going to church today.....and my old clothes fit!  Amen,  sister....amen!   We had stopped going because none of my clothes fit and I didn't want to have to buy more fat clothes.  I wore makeup, stockings and heels and actually felt like I looked decent for a change.   I have more incentive to keep going....yaay!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

WHOO HOO! ANOTHER POUND BITES THE DUST!

Even though I'm losing weight because I can't eat I still like to see it on the scale.  I bet I'm heading for a plateau though.   Whenever I start losing a pound every day or two it usually slams to  a stop for awhile.   We shall see  

Have a good rest of the weekend!

ONE MORE POUND GONE!

I love my scale today.  He's my best friend.........for today anyway!   There are days when I hate him.  

I can't wait to get the results of the scans I had yesterday.  I see my oncologist Tuesday and I hope she doesn't have bad news for me.  I won the battle with rectal cancer 15 years ago so it had better not be back!   Everyone have a good weekend!

 

BACK HOME TO THE HEAT.

Hubby got bored in Canada when it got too cold to take the boat out so here we are home two weeks early.  The weather up there was great for me....temperature at the lake got down to the high 40's at night....great cuddle-up weather.  Here it's high 80's with high humidity which makes it harder to breathe.

My weight is slowly going down, which is great but I'm always exhausted from my medical condition.  I'm still going to Curves and I think that's good for me.  I went to my doctor the day we got home and tomorrow I'm having three CT scans and I have to drink that crappy-tasting barium.....two bottles!  I'm soooo tired of feeling lousy and it's depressing that what I have is incurable, though they do have meds to prolong life.  I try to keep my chin up but sometimes I just need to vent.  I don't want to whine to my family so if anyone reads this, thanks for listening.

FINALLY INTO THE 180's!

I weighed myself this morning and I finally made the 180's.  My appetite has been poor due to my medical condition but I'll take the weight loss anyway.  We went out in the boat today and hubby and I chased after a boat that had broken loose from the dock and that really made me short of breath....but we saved the boat.  Sometimes it's really hard to breathe when I do any little thing or when the humidity is high.  We head back to Florida at the end of the month and I'm not looking forward to the heat and humidity.  Canada has been great and I hate to leave.  At least I'll see my grandbabies soon!   I'll also have to see my doctors to see what's up next.   I guess I'm a little depressed too.   

Have a great weekend...if anyone reads this since I haven't been able to visit any of you. 

LONG TIME SINCE POSTING!

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to get online to post, since I still have to go 8 miles to the village library.  I still have a pound to go to get into the 180s but I'll make it.

Hubby and I went to the Canadian National Expo, which is like the Florida State Fair,  on Monday and I was so mad that I had no appetite for the fair food!  That's the main reason I went....lol.    I usually love corn dogs and funnel cakes and cotton candy but it didn't interest me this time...thank goodness!     I really, really want to lose 10 more pounds before I go home at the end of September.  I want to surprise my daughter.

Sorry I don't have time to go visit anyone......I'm still limited to 30 min on the library computer.

HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!

It was a nice long weekend for Canadians.  We went out in the boat and anchored and just floated around in our tubes, then went swimming when we got back.  I"m getting a nice tab up here.  I don't go outside in the summer in Florida so I don't tan much at home.  Down another pound and a half inch off my waist so I'm feeling great!  

BACK DOWN AGAIN!

Well, I went down again this week and I'm down to 192.6 today.   I felt all bloated last night and couldn't eat and I felt lousy.  Today I feel fine and the scale loves me again!

Sorry I don't get a chance to visit everyones blog when I'm online but I only get 30 minutes at a time at the library.  Have a great weekend everyone!

 

 

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I can't believe you can gain 4 pounds of water overnight!  I was so excited when I got to 193 and now I'm back up to 197.  I know if I go back over 200 again I'll give up.   I'm not trying to make excuses but when I get home I'm going to ask my doc if it's my medical condition or not.  I'm still working out and I'm not eating that much because my tummy won't hold it so I just don't get it!  It's sooooo depressing!
