3-15-10 week 14 picture

I am now at 14 weeks and still feeling fabulous!!! With each passing day, I am feeling healthier inside and out! Maybe some of that also is the bright and sunny days... feeling like spring is just around the corner... or maybe it is because we are packing... and heading South to see even more sunshine, and warmth! Oh Yeah!!! The kids and I are going to Texas, then across to Arizona, and California. Will be SO nice to see family again! Dad hasn't seen me since my surgery, so will be interesting to see what he thinks! =)
I have now lost -64 lbs since surgery... for a grand total of -113! I am at Day #99 since surgery. I have kept track, and have written everything down that I eat! It helps to keep track. I am now able to get in MOST of my proteins, and my water now, so that helps in how I am feeling as well.... just wonderful to be on a healthier track now!
All for now... love to all... Eydie =)

3-7-10 week 13 pix

Today is Sunday, March 7, 2010. Tomorrow will actually be my 13 week mark, but I was dressed up a bit today, so had Neal take my pix today since he will be working tomorrow. Anyway, I am at -107 total loss... with -58 since surgery. I have to point out here... has anyone noticed that I don't have many purple clothes now?? Yes, feels strange! I have run out of most of my purple items, and just don't want to buy too many things. I have bought a few things now at the thrift stores, but again... not much purple, so having to just buy what I can find. But... I really do like most other colors too, especially bright colors. Just feels good to be able to go into a regular store now, and find things that fit!
Well, another beautiful sunny day here in the Northern Woods of Minnesota! Enjoy your Sunday! Love you... Eydie =)

3-6-2010 Broke my plateau!!

OH YEAH!! Maybe on the move again! This is crazy, but it was suggested that the stall could be the lack of enough protein/food. Well, yesterday I did try to eat a little more. I just hate that thought though... eating when I am NOT hungry! But, I did eat more often, and tried to get in more of the protein, must have worked anyway! I lost 1 pound, not so much, but down just the same!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. It's been so nice and sunny here, we are SO ready for spring. It even rained a little bit today, which is helping get rid of our snow piles!

Thank you again my dear friends and family! Love to all... Eydie =)

3-4-10 Need New Scale???

Good evening everyone! Hmmm... I am wondering if my scale is broke?!?!? I think today is the 16th day that it hasn't moved!!! At least it isn't going up!!! No, I am NOT discouraged at all, not frustrated at all. I know when it's ready it will go down because I am feeling SOOO good, and I am still losing inches!!! OH YEAH!!!! I've HAD to buy a few new clothes! It was SOOO hard to go to the store and buy stuff I know.. but I forced myself! Hee Hee!! I found it very strange though, I found the neatest purple & pink fringed sweater, I automatically looked at the tag and was SO excited, my size, I tried it on. OH MY!!! Well, it was the size that I USED to wear!!! The sleeves went way past my fingertips, the shoulders were to my elbows! It was HUGE!!! Did I really wear something THAT big???? Yes I did, but now I just can't get past it that I am now into an XL! An actual extra large, just plain and simple! We have a fantastic thrift store here in town, so I have found a couple of items there. I don't want to go and buy much, since I hopefully won't be in this size for long either!! I am so lucky too.. I have a friend Raelyne that has also lost weight, and she gave me some clothes that I can wear now too!
I had another check-up Wednesday, and all is going great! I still need to get in more protein. Nutritionist thinks that MAY be part of the plateau issue. So.. still trying to work on that, but everything else is so good!
Well, hope this has found everyone doing great in your area of the country! It has felt like spring here. Today it was up to 41 degrees, bright and sunny!!! Ahh, the snow was melting, and it was fun to hit all of the puddles by the side of the road! LOL... my kids think I am such a cool mom when I will actually swerve to HIT them, and we laugh, the farther the water will fly, and especially when the front and side windows are COVERED with water afterwards!!!
You take care my wonderful DREAM TEAM!! Thanks SOOO much for your help and encouragement!!! Love ya all... Eydie =)

3-1-10 week 12 pix

This is my 12 week pictures! I am still at a weight loss of 57 since surgery, and a total of 106. I have stayed the same since Feb. 16 but that is ok. My body is adjusting to the new weight, but most importantly... I am feeling fabulous!!! I know I am doing everything that I am suppose to, eating ONLY proteins and good clean foods, (I have a few tiny veggies and fruit once in awhile) and I am exercising, drinking my water, etc. When it is right... I will start losing again.
Well.... thank you again everyone for your wonderful thoughts and support!
