Week 12

This week has been a long week.  I am so tired I think I could just fall asleep all the time.  But you don't want to hear all about that.  I am so close to losing 100 pounds.  Just 4 more pounds to go.  And since I am so close I keep on going to the gym to weigh myself.  The plus side is I exercise more.  The downside is the scale has not changed in a week.  It is so frustrating!!! But I have to be patient.  It will go down in its own time.  

I also adjusted my blood pressure meds this week.  I am hoping that my blood pressure goes back to normal soon.  I cannot stand being dizzy and tired all of the time.  Hopefully now that I am on the lowest dose I can get off of them soon.

As I sit here eating my stew that I heated up I am reminded why I should not eat while I am distracted.  Whenever I get full I can feel it.  I have a little bi of pressure between my rib cage.  If I eat to much I get all stuffed up and a have a runny nose or the dreaded hiccups.  Thankfully today I am just stuffed up when I get the hiccups it feels like my stomach just wants to rip itself out of my chest and it is very painful.  So I usually make myself eat with no distractions.  Mindful eating is what they call it at the clinic so I do not have this problem.

Finally,  I had a funny but painful eating experience.  I cracked one of my teeth eating a raisin.  I am still waiting to here if my benefits will cover the entire cost of the tooth or if I will have to pay for it.  Hopefully they will cover it.    

Week 11...

It seems like this week is the week that will never end.  Yesterday I kept on thinking it was on Thursday and Today I am thinking it is Friday.  

On Monday Shauna, My Mom and I went for a long walk in the river valley.  Although I have lived in Edmonton my whole life I have only been to the legislature a couple of times before and the last time I was there I remembered climbing the hill back to my car and being out of breath by the time I got back to my car.  This time the walk was a lot easier and a lot more enjoyable.

I also now have a goal to complete a 5km run in September right after Rebecca's wedding.  I want to be able to run most of it so I started to train for it this week.  I practiced running the long parts of the track and walking the short parts.  I only made it for 30 minutes and then I started to feel dizzy because I had not eaten for a while so I went home to make supper but I am planning on continuing.

Week 10

So I forgot to do a 9 week post.  Maybe because I have been sleeping a lot.  It seems like all I have been doing lately is working, sleeping and going to the doctors.  

This week I had a appointment with one of my many doctors and they said that all of my blood work and tests came back as normal.  So as of right now there should be no cancer cells.  I have to see another doctor next month to see so that he can make a decision on whether or not I need more tests.

I have hardly anything to say this week.  Maybe I should write myself notes so I can remember what I did during the week.  

So far I have lost 86 pounds.  Only 14 more until I reach 100.  Then maybe I should do something to reward myself.  That is what my physiologist said when I started this program.  I just have to try and decide what I should do,

Two Months!!!

As of today I am 2 months out from surgery.  I have lost a total of 45 pounds since surgery and 82 since last January.  Yesterday when I went to my moms we did measurements and I have lost 39.75 inches since January and 16 inches last month.  No wonder none of my clothes fit.  

So here are some pictures:

Well The first picture does not seem to be working so I just put up the second pictures
