I'm on my way down.... oh yeah... and Kenny Chesney too!!!

So... I've really been struggling. I couldn't seem to drop any weight for the last couple of weeks. I mentioned before that I stay in the gym for 1 1/2 hours a day, at least 6 days a week... But only doing cardio stuff. I started doing a little weight training and I will be damned if I didn't lose 6 lbs. So now I'm hovering at 201 and striving to make the 100's by next week. I have an appointment at Dr. Babineau's office next Wednesday. So that's good news, but the even better news is....

I got 4 tickets to see Kenny Chesney and they are right beside the stage on the floor... seats 1-4 which are seriously right beside the stage... I love my job and all the perks that come along with it! oh my goodness.... I think I've seen the man at least 20 times now... I've had front row seats, back stage passes, but I still get so excited when this time of year rolls around and I know the concerts will be starting up!!! whoohoooo

Starting to get frustrated....uhhhghhh

It seems as though I am not losing weight. I am staying between 207-204 and it will NOT go below. I am working my ass off at the gym. Running, doing the elliptical for 1-1 1/2 hrs, 7 days a week. I just don't understand. I don't eat bad and I dont' eat a lot. I eat what I call "normal" most of the time although sometimes I can't eat or it just comes back up. I think I'm doing it all right but maybe I'm not. Should I "never" throw up? B/c I do at least once a day, whether that is just sliming or throwing up a slight bit to the whole meal. I don't go back to the doctor until the 14th of April so I'm so freaking frustrated. I know that I'm a lot healthier now than I was 5 months ago, and look a lot better.... but damn I am going nuts b/c I'm not seeing the scale move... I'm human so yes I'm addicted to the scales.... Sorry I'm just ranting... advice, comments, HELP!!

It's so close, I can taste it....

That would be "onderland"..... I'm down another 2lbs this week and getting so close to being in the 100's which I haven't seen in soooo many years. As of today, I've lost 40lbs according to my scale.. which is what I will go by... It's so hard for me to believe that 5 months ago, I had NO desire to go to the gym!!! what so ever... and now I just want to pick up, leave work, and go work out... which I don't and can't... I did get my hours changed at work to M-Thurs, I get off at 4 and on Fridays I get off at noon. I think I'm going to try to start working out 2 times a day... My husband gets up around 5am so I'm going to try and head to the gym..... It's going to be a struggle but am going to try b/c who knows.... I might love it...

On to other stuff... I loved, yes...past tense... reality tv.. I was an avid follower of the bachelor/bachelorette. This past week we all saw what happened and I've soon taken on my own opinon that everything is staged. Melissa, the one he chose then later humiliated her on tv, works for the same company as myself in Dallas... so it hits home b/c although I do not know her personally, she is like family b/c she is company family. (one of her good friends is one of my good friends) Anyways.... it was complete bullshit on what he did to her and I just know it was a setup.. I know she knew what she was getting into when she went on the show, but to do that to someone on television is unbelievable.... He, in my opinon, is a total scum bag... and I hate it, but I will not watch the show ever again!!!! arggggg...

Okay... enoughs, enough.... Better go check my facebook account, myspace account, cnn, kenny chesney.com, or maybe I should work???? hahahhaha

another "3" bite the dust....

Candy... I so feel like you this time making my title a part of a song...hhahaha... lost 3 more lbs and it's awesome.

I really try to comment on peoples where I see great things but keep getting an error on my screen that says ...error...

PS.... starting weight - 246... today's weight - 207... whooohoooo!!!!!!

Fill # 3 and more....

Where do I start... I've been having a really hard time with the weight loss... so I thought. It seemed to me that no matter how hard I tried, the scales just weren't moving. Talking to Mindy, she thinks that b/c I am working out so much and eating "okay", that maybe I'm not eating enough. Working out is burning most of the calories off that I'm eating in one day. With that advice, b/c I don't/can't eat breakfast, I started drinking a shake in the morning. I think that is helping but it tends to make me feel like I'm hungry by 11ish which wasn't the case before. The running is driving me crazy. I feel as though I could run a mile with no problems one day, and the next it's hard as heck to run 1/2 mile. No sense! I had my 3rd fill on Tuesday, which was also our 8 year anniversary. As of my last visit which was in January, I'd lost exactly 10lbs. They said I'm right on track losing 1.5lbs a week although by my scale, it's a little more. Obviously I'm sticking with my number! She didn't want to give me a fill but did b/c I wanted one. Not much, just .5cc. I'm wondering if I screwed up b/c it seems like I'm having a difficult time with food....sometimes... and have for sure found out that I cannot eat bread!!! yuck and ouch is all I can say! Here's a picture of the beautiful flowers that my husband sent me on Tuesday.


My next appointment @ Dr. Babineau's office is April 14. I am shooting to lose another 10lbs which would put me in "onederland." For all of you that don't understand that term, it means I would be in the 100's!! Whoohoo .... Which I haven't' seen that number in forever... Will keep you guys posted... Also by the way... forgive me for any typos or wrong terminology. I try to do this so fast and my husband informed me the other day that it's looks like I have no high school/college education and that I can't spell.... ooppssss hahahhaha

Keep on Moving!!

The scales are finally moving. I weighed this morning and they have finally dropped to 212lbs!! whoohooo I took some great advice from Mindy and started drinking a protein shake in the morning since I can't seem to eat that early. Seems to be okay drinking. I set a goal to lose 10lbs this month so I'm hoping that I will be able to achieve it. Fingers crossed!!

We have a new gym in town and my membership at another expires in a month. (Paid the year in full so I can't get out of it a month early) I went to the new one with my best friend and LOVED it! It's just like going to an upscale gym with a spa! What girl doesn't want to hang out at a spa?? Besides... I'm totally addicted to the treadmill right now. I really want to run a marathon or half and and going to make that a long term goal.

We are headed out of town this weekend with my best friend and her husband to Dallas. I got 4 awesome seats to the Dallas Mavericks and they are right behind the guys bench. (like 4 rows behind) and also a platinum parking pass... Gotta love the job b/c of all the perks!! I'm hoping that I won't give into the junk food @ the game or the margaritas before. I LOVE a cold beer so since surgery it's been so hard not having one. (b/c of the carbonation) and I'm so not a wine drinker!

Once again, as soon as I can get a decent pic, I will post some! Here's one of my hubby and me and Jenn and me a couple of weekends ago!
