8-20-10 Still on my journey!!!



Well... I am still losing... slowly, but surely! I hit these little plateus, but then it just starts coming off again. Yesterday I lost 1 pound, but then today I lost 3 pounds! Wow.... well... to say the least I was SO excited... I was psyched!! Now just a few left, and I will be at my goal! This is so incredible... I have lost weight through the years... quite a bit at times even, but have never come close to my goals! Now.... even though I am close to goal.... the journey is FAR from over... really it will be for the rest of my life! The true work is every single day! Maintaining a weight loss is just as important as the road down! I have full confidence that I WILL be able to do it though!!!! I have tried to understand the different things of those that have not succeeded... what happened... what went wrong... etc! I try to be such an optimistic person... but I want to learn from these things... so it doesn't happen to me! I am very involved in this program with other people too... so I think that will help me too! In helping even one other person... I am helping myself. Nutrition has become a passion for me, so I am looking forward to spending more time helping others with this as well.
So I am now at -159 lbs lost total, and -110 lbs lost in the 8 months since surgery! Wow.... just hard for even me to think about this! I really am so happy!! Incredible to feel SO healthy again!!
So my Dear Team members.... once again... thank you for your fabulous support here! It sure helps to know I have my team right here next to me.... holding my hand along the way! I love you all.... Eydie

8-8-10 Now 155 total!!!

Wow... and now that I've broken my plateau, I am losing again! Here I am 245 days out of surgery... that is 8 months! In that time I've lost 106 lbs, for a total of 155 lbs! It seems every day I am feeling better and better! I am still not eating ANYTHING that I am not suppose to! NO caffeine! NO carbination. NO sugars! Now that means I have NOT had even a SIP of pop... of any kind! NO candy! NO cakes! NO cookies! Nothing but good nutrition for me!!! I eat proteins, fruits and veggies!

How about my exercise? I am still working out as I can. I go to the gym here in town. Anytime fitness. I don't get there as much as I'd like to with the kids not doing too many activities the month of August. But... even though I am NOT looking forward to school starting on September 7th... it will be a time for scheduled routines! I will surely miss being with my kids everyday all day... but they are actually ready. So, when I drop them off at school in the morning, then my plan is to go straight to the gym from there!

Thank you again my great team!!! You're the best!! Love, Eydie
