New start….
I have gone through a lot medically in the last 3 months. Needless to say, my weight loss halted when my thyroid was zapped with radiation and the mini-stroke knocked me down a notch. I gained 33 pounds. Yes, after all of that hard work, I gained weight back. So, it’s back to the grindstone. No problem. I have been walking 3-5 miles twice a day, and it’s coming off slooooooooowly. That’s good. I’ll have this plus another 10 off by summer’s end. I just need people to support me.
I am not weighing this time. I am building a lot of muscle, and the clothing will tell the tale.
Surgery
Well, the doctor removed the screws from my ankle yesterday, and all I could get down were saltines. This morning I’m eating a piece of toast and turkey bacon for breakfast, and I think this is going to be a rough start to a weight loss program. Why? Not enough calories. It’s all good though. I’m wearing a Calvin Klein trapeze dress to my company’s anniversary party tonight. I should look pretty cute. :) Oh, and I’m down .89 pounds today.
Success!
Today was really good. I ate well, and I hit the gym hard. No worries about the pain though, cuz tomorrow I’ll be on Percocet. (Surgery).
I woke up late
I woke up late this morning and missed a class that I wanted to take at the gym. It’s okay though, because they have one at 4:30 this afternoon too. I am so ready to do this again, lose weight that is. I have ankle surgery tomorrow, so my eating will be zero until late tomorrow night when, as past experiences show, I will want 2 saltines and then more sleep. I will start this journey looking like this: 
Here’s to good workouts, good eating, and goals that are attainable!
50 Pounds to Go!
Today, for the last time in my life, I am beginning a weight loss journey. I have lost 130 pounds in the last year and 3 months, and I have 50 pounds to go. So, here it is. I am publicly asking for those of you who read my blogs to hold me accountable for this weight loss. No more excuses. I just lost the man of my dreams because I didn’t fit into his 10 year plan. So, I am going to do something for me. 50 pounds by the end of June. That’s only 16.6 pounds a month, or 1.2 pounds a week, or .18 pounds a day. This is an attainable goal. So, in July we will have a group birthday party, and I will be SMO-KIN’!!!! Tomorrow is cardio, abs and legs at the gym. 6 small meals a day, and we’re off…………………
