Weigh in Day

This is my consultant Lana!

The teller of the tape.......once a week, every Tuesday

My supermarket for the next few month's.


Today I went and had my 1st weigh in with Lana and did my stats page with her.  She knew I had started this program on Saturday, but needed to make it official today.  Interesting numbers for 3 days.  I have lost a few inch's, my arms and chest specifically.  Next Tuesday will be the official results day #1.  She asked for my goals today.  I am not sure what they will be.  I do know 1 thing, the day I hit 299 lbs, it will be a long time coming.  I believe I have been over the 300 for some 25 years, so 299 will be a major achievement.  To celebrate, I plan on having a treat.  I am not sure what it will be, so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear from you!

Had a couple  of email to day, and asking how it was going.  It was nice to see.  That's the support I am looking for.  I think that if I become accountable to people, then it won't be easy to simply use the excuse that it wasn't for me.  I want to do well, and I want people to my progress.  I have to do it for myself, but it will be help to know other people are azz kickin' me along.

DON'T GO BLIND!!!!!

This is the hardest thing I have chosen to do in a long time.  I am very self conscious about my looks, and I hard ever remove my shirt for anything in public.  But, here I am displaying 342 lbs to the world.

Geez......................who would have thought!!!

Bad Feelings

Well, today I made it to work and had a pretty good day.  I had 1 ex large cup of coffee for the day.  And if u know Me, you will be saying " wholly crap"!!  I love my coffee, but because of  the caffeine for every cup you drink u need 8 more oz's of water.  I drank a ton of water today, almost 80 oz's is my guess.  Looks like no sleep again tonight.............lol.  As the day wore on, I sense some changes in my belly.  No not that!!  I felt nauseated for part of the morning, and a chronic throb of abdominal pain.  I think it has to do with this gall bladder thing.  Never been diagnosed with an issue, but I know the feeling.  Pepcide complete is my friend right now.  If nothing gets better, then the medical clinic will get a visit.  I am sure the eating change is the cause.  Laurel has told me that has happened to her, before she got her's removed.  I guess we need to wait and see.

I am pretty impressed with the food from IP.  It's quite tasty.  I found some recipes to try where you mix a couple things together.  I am going to try some of those later in the experience.  Ate everything I needed to, and feel pretty good.  I stepped on the scale as well.  Interesting numbers that showed.  We'll see exactly where it is when I make my 1st official visit to the consultant later this week.

3 days down, and I feel good.  Some encouraging emails today from some friends.  Thanks for those.  I see I got 4 azz kickers signed up too.  Gee, I wonder if Oprah has looked yet??????

Sunday Evening August 29th 2010

So, today was a bit of a tough day.  Really hungray most of the afternoon.  Lots of water and my snack helped me through the day.  It gets easier after 4 or 5 days, so a few days of the "feeling" will be okay.

I have started a new eating process called Ideal Protien.  The process is pretty simple.  We buy food from a consultant.  The food is very high protien and no carbs.  I eat the packets 5 times a day, for the 1st week.  It includes select vegetables at lunch and supper, and also include real protien at supper.  There are some vitamins that accompany the food.  Unlimited lettuce is the key to being full. 

For anyone interested in the process, go to http://www.idealprotein.com/


or do a Google search.  There is a few good articles.

I am not planning a detailed menu every day to share with you.  That's to much information!!!!!!! 

Okay, thanks for checking in.  Tomorrow is day 3 and the 1st day at work with the new lifestyle.  I hope it isn't a baking day!
