Just Another Tuesday

Well the Spring Challenge has officially begun!
I sent in my starting weight last night after work. I really am just so excited to see who wins! All the people in this Challenge are so awesome. I had to enter a night weight. I was at 302.8 last night. This morning I weighed in at 299.8! I love typing out that 2. It's so awesome! I can't wait to see every ones new lows!

People are starting to make hard plans for BOOBS 2.0! It's exciting to read that people are officially coming. So many of you have been an inspiration for me. From bandsters in to their second year or people just starting out. Everyone of you has imparted your own little piece of wisdom. I learn so much from all of you every day. I can't wait to see all of you who can make it :)

For the last 3 weeks I have been craving Chinese food like crazy!! Finally last night we had Chinese food for dinner. Pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and crab Rangoon! So freaking good! I was up .4lbs this morning overall, which isn't bad. So this morning I had the breakfast of champions! The 3 left over pieces of the sweet and sour chicken and a flat left over diet coke. yumm! For lunch I am having some left over pork fried rice. After today I think my Chinese food craving will be sufficiently taken care of.  Everyone once and a while just has to give into those cravings or you will just eventually loose control and binge to the extent your band will let ya. At least that's how I work. A little depravity makes the occasional splurge so much more enjoyable!

Also it is Fat Tuesday! Apparently there is some kind of polish doughnut that is really popular to eat on fat Tuesday around here. I don't even know if its just around here either. It sounded yummy though. Well have a great Fat Tuesday!

Yee-haw

Happy Monday everybody. I had a nice weekend of recovery and monkey business. We went out to eat twice and I weighed in this morning at 300.0. So not to bad of a gain. I am going to start back at the gym today after being sick last week. I know it's not going to feel the greatest after taking such a long break from working out. Also this weekend I was noticing just how much of a difference 50lbs has made.

Also as I am looking around blog land this morning I am noticing that the spring challenge is starting and I don't have a picture to put up. I guess I will have to put mine up tonight. Time has just flown by. I didn't realise it was that time already. lol

What does 50lbs mean to me:

-sitting in a theater with my legs up, because its comfortable and i fit.

-not being scared to sit in a chair because it's to small

-being able to workout 5 days a week

-loosing 2 pant sizes.

-sitting on the edge of the bathtub with my feet up.

-more confidence

-less arguing with my husband

-more walks with the dog

-shoes fit better!

- not sweating my butt off when I have to run around at work

-I sleep better

-My husband says I snore a ton less

-I got the courage up to dye my hair again

-almost no heartburn, was taking prilosec every day

-my knees don't hurt anymore, unless I don't workout (weird right)

last but not least (feel free to think dirty)

-RIDE 'EM COWBOY! yep went there :)

Checking In :)

I want to thank all you wonderful ladies for your comments yesterday. I would never have gotten this far without your support and friendship. I love you all! I can't wait to give you all a huge hug at BOOBS this year.

This morning nothing is really going on. I am sitting at work being bad already cause I am munching on a doughnut. I will factor it into my day of calories. Damn co-workers and there generosity. : P I do just want to curl back up and go to bed. I am still fighting this URI so I am just drained. The first thought I had when the alarm went off this morning was thank god I get to sleep in tomorrow.

I have not worked out once since Saturday. I feel horrible for slacking on it, but like my husband pointed out I will get right back to working out next week. Well as soon as I start feeling better. Like previously stated I am just looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. lol

I have a funny little side story. At least I found it funny. We were laying in bed last night and cuddling, when hubby says "I can feel your ribs". I was thinking oh very cool. A noticeable sign that I have lost a good amount of weight. I didn't say anything though. He leans over and proceed to bite the end of my rib cage to prove he can feel them. "See, I can feel your ribs". Now what kind of man shows there wife they are losing weight by biting there rib cage to prove they can feel it. All I could do was laugh at him. That man sure does make me smile.

Until next time.

*HUGS*

Holy Crapoli

I was going to do a post this morning how my new goal was to reach the 50lb mark before my 3 month bandiversary and what I would do to get there. I realised this morning there was no need for it when I stepped on my scale.

That's right ladies and gents. I had another 2lb loss! This gets me to 2 milestones. This puts me at a 50.8lb loss and I am sitting pretty in the 200's!!!!! I weight less then 300lbs!!!! Can you believe it? I can't believe it. It makes me want to cry from joy!
Also just noticed this puts me at under 100lbs more to lose! Wow what a great morning!

I know I know, some of you might be saying, well you have been sick. Of course you are going to lose weight if you can't get to much food down. I have been taking in more calories in liquid then I usually do. I have been getting about 1600 - 1800 calories a day for the last 2 days. Broth, protein shakes, pudding (sugar free). for dinner on Tuesday I was actually able to get a slice of pizza in and last night I had turkey and noodles. So I haven't been starving.

Morale of the story is...I am officially under 300lbs and hell frickin ya it feels fabulous!!!

Bye bye 300 club. I will not miss you : D

Also keep your fingers crossed for the hubby. He is trying to drop below 200lbs this week.

I do still feel a little crappy. I am coughing up stuff now which is a good sign. Blowing my nose allot and using lots of hand sanitizer at work today. Lets just hope the patients don't complain.

Thank you all for the well wishes.

*HUGS*

A Day on The Couch

Still sick today. This morning I woke up and everything hurt, my head, my throat, my sinus's and my muscles. i am home for the day. I took some mucinex D and drinking lots water. The doctor yesterday said I have a URI (upper respiratory infection). I never thought a URI could take you out like this. It sucks.

This morning I woke up and went to the bathroom and saw the scale and even though I was up 2lbs yesterday stepped on the scale. To my huge surprise I was down 4.4lbs from yesterday. Putting me at a new low! 302.6!! I am so close to being under 300lbs now I can taste it. I can't wait to see 299lbs that will be a great day to celebrate.

My band is tight today again. Yesterday I tried eating boiled eggs (haven't had any issues up till now) they came back up into the toilet.  It's crazy how being sick affects my band. I am trying to stick to mushies and protein shakes today. We will see how that goes.

I am going to relax and watch I Dream of Jeannie and drink lots of water. I am so thankful for my weight loss! It's like the scale gods said hey she's not feeling well lets give something to smile about!

I hope you all have a great scale day and otherwise. :)
