Tuesday August 18th --- Share and Care!

Hello from Maine.  :-)

I have some "stay in the room so you don't melt" time so I thought I would pull out the laptop.

It is brutally hot here.  It has never been higher than 75 and yesterday on the way here it was 100+ and then when we arrived here it was 94.  Today was only 90 and tomorrow should be about 85.  Phew!

I am trying to make smart choices with my eating.  Drinking tons of water, no fried anything and small portions.

Hoping to have a loss when I return!  :-)

How are all of you doing?

Hi! Doing well today. Right now it is raining, so it has cooled down quite a bit. Hit 93 today. Hazy, hot and humid heat wave.

Eating has been good, except my pouch is not liking what I am feeding it lately. Not eating anything new or unusual. I am going to do liquids tomorrow and see what happens. There are so many bugs going around at work. I probably picked up one of tham. I think the anatomy change from the bypass makes people like us more susceptable to these things. I'm going to ask the surgeon his opinion on that when I see him next mont.

Of course I am also battling the call of the jar of peanut butter and the bag of choclate chips. They are trying to get me to mix them toether and eat them. Good thing my pouch is saying otherwise and helping me win. Do I see an old habit trying to sneak in? You bet! Stuffing my face for no reason except that I am bored and tired and watching TV instead of getting some sleep. Used to do it all the time.

HEAD HUNGER SUCKS!! CRAVINGS SUCK MORE!!

I am going to buy a journal tomorrow and start recording what I am eating. I am also going to record how I am feeling when I get the urge to binge and try to detect patterns. It may help me get things back on track better.
Oh well. Have a great evening!
Love ya, Deb

Hi, Deb!  Catching up on old posts.  Wasn't last week a scorcher?  It was so hot in Maine!  :-)  You know, I am scared to death that I don't even have a pouch any more!  Seriously, what if I have undone everything???  :-(

I hope you have a great time Renee!!

I had a great day today! Just after surgery I applied to carry the torch in the Olympic relay across Canada. Well, last night into my inbox came an email that said that I had moved on to the second round!!! One step closer to that awesome dream! So, I had a couple of forms to fill out and I need to get them faxed out tomorrow before the end of the business day to still be in the running for it! Then in about 4 weeks, I'll get another email telling me the next steps. Yay!! So excited!! Better get off my ass and start doing the couch to 5K again....LOL 

OH MY GOODNESS!  How exciting, Stephanie!  Make sure you let us now!  Any word on your neck pain?

It should be about 4 weeks until the Vancouver commitee contacts me and I'll let you guys know as things happen.
The results from the chest xray should be in by Friday. Xrays take a really long time here :(

Today was good. Hot, but not to bad. Had my weekly weigh in and I am down to 233! I lost 5lbs this last week. Thought that was  great.

Eating is going ok. Just gotta remember to eat. That is hard for me. My husband comes home next weekend, so all is good.

Hope everyone has a great night.

OH! My baby, Mikaylah, Lost her first tooth today. SO I have to stay up for fairy duty. LOL

Night everyone

What are you eating that you are losing 5 pounds a week?  I think we should start a Daily Journal thread.  I would love to know what everyone is eating and how much, you know?

How was the tooth fairy?
