It's been a long time!

It's been too long since I've updated everyone!  I'm sorry!  I am still doing great!  I haven't had any trouble and everything thus far has been smooth sailing.  I haven't weighed in over a week so this could be off but I'm 83 lbs down!  I am not able to wear my pants that I was so excited about in my last few posts because it looks like I have a load in my pants.  :)  Looks like I'll be posting on Ebay again :).
This week my Great Aunt and Great Uncle came and visited.  We had such a wonderful visit.  I can't wait for them to come again.  We went to the cemetery and put out new flowers for my Great Grandparents (G. Aunt's Mom and Dad), their son, and my Grandmother (G.Aunt's Sister).  It looked really nice.  I'm still thinking that buying the stone for Grandma was a really good thing that Larry and I were able to do.  Every time I look at it I smile.  She would have loved it.  I miss her everyday.  I wish they could have spent a whole week!
Yesterday, Larry and I went flea-marketing with my aunt and she found a few things.  She found these bubble lights and you would have thought she had a heart-attack.  It made me smile seeing how happy she was!  They are huge antique fans and have shows and collect.  They used to own an antique store.  I enjoy going with them on their hunts because it's impossible to come away excited.  :)
For supper we ate at Red Goose Deli downtown.  They ordered the special (2 porkchops, fried okra, baked potato, sister schubert roll, & salad with wine and cheese dressing).  The waitress asked if they were going to share and they order 2 specials.  It was SOOOO much food.  There was definitely leftovers.
Yesterday I ate:
1 egg, 2 strips bacon
About a 1/2 of an order of shack fries (bbq meat, cheese sauce and fries)
1/2 Grilled Cheese sandwich (no crust) some fries and the top part of a pickle spear
2 Oreo Cookies

Generally, I keep away from the fries because they are SO heavy.  It'll be a while before I have em' again.

I'm still taking my vitamins and being a good girl in that respect.  I've gotten more active too.

My son has been in baseball so we've been enjoying his games.  He's also gotten a B-Ball goal so it's been fun shooting hoops with him.

I will do better about keeping this up!  

Food for Thought

I was super excited this morning to be able to wear a pair of jeans that I wore when I first started dating my husband.  How liberating!  Last week when I weighed I was down 52lbs.  I haven't yet weighed for this week...and it's almost over.
I do know that I need to get my butt outside and WALK more.  It has been such beautiful weather!

I Have been SO over chewable vitamins and while I was at Walgreen's I ended up buying some Sour Gummy Vitamins.  ...they don't taste sour at all to me, but the others that have tried them say that they are sour.  They say that your tastes can change...but seriously, sour going to sweet would not be what I imagine "they" meant by that.  :)

I have had an outrageous amount of phlegm for the last week or more.  I called my Dr's office that performed the Gastric and asked them what would be best for me to take...they suggested liquid Mucinex or anything without nsaids or that was aspirin based.  I ended up going to Walgreen's (same trip as the sgv) and grabbed me some children's liquid Mucinex.  I can take 4-12 doses of it.  It feels so warm going down and then my tummy feels really funky for a few minutes. (Same way the liquid Hydrocodone did) It sure does the trick though.  I have been getting rid of this mucus for reallllllz!!!

Yesterday I ate:
About 3 spoons of Carbmasters Yogurt
Small BBQ Salad (less than half of a half salad from BBQ Shack)
Few bites of steak (from my hubby's plate) and small portion of Loaded Mashed Potatoes

You know, I have to also share that I have always wore my hair down...I guess I thought my hair hid my chunky face so it was my security blanket.  I have now worn my hair in a ponytail more times in the last few months than I have worn it in a ponytail in the last few years.  I'm kinda' excited about it too...because we own a convertible Mustang and my Escape has a moon/sun roof! ...that means that I will be willing to open the tops up!

My son had his first Baseball practice yesterday.  It was the kind of day where you step outside, you look up with your hands out and your eyes closed...breathe in deep and thank GOD you are alive!
He had a great practice and I'm looking forward to coming practices and games.  I'm so proud of my kid!
