Today I am 47.4 down. My weight loss has been slower the past two weeks, than before, so I may have hit a small plateau. In the past two days, I've lost 2.2 pounds, so I think things are picking back up again.
I did not get my period two weeks ago, but the scale and my hormones simulated me having my cycle. I don't know what that means for the future, but I will just wait and see what happens next month.
This past week I've been in a rut food-wise. I am getting tired of the same foods all of the time: turkey and cheese with crackers, soup, cereal and milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt. In the past few weeks, since I've been a little sick with certain foods, I think I tried to stick with things that I know go down well. However, now I'm ready to break out! Yesterday I started writing a blog, but it was so negative sounding, that I decided to wait until I was feeling a little more positive about things. After looking through my new weight loss cookbooks, I came up with a few recipes that I wanted to try this week to give me a little bit of variety--chili with bacon and cheddar muffins, fruity french toast, pot roast with mini potatoes and carrots, and garlic shrimp. These foods sound "normal" but they are made with certain ingredients which increase the protein and lower the carbs. I'm excited to try these things this week, and hopefully break out of my food rut.
I exercised 4 times last week, which is double the week before! Chris and I got up at 5:00 am, and went for a half hour. It felt great that we committed to it and did it! The upside is that I felt wonderful in the morning, and it got me going on the right foot all day. Also, I loved the fact that when I got home from school, I didn't have to think about exercise--I could put on my pjs and watch TV. :) The downside is that Chris and I were both so tired during the week. We need to adjust our bedtime earlier, so this will continue to work for us. Our goal is to go 5 days a week, and take a break on the weekends.
Clothes are continuing to get too big. Friday we had a pep rally at school, and I was trying to find a red shirt to wear (our colors are red and blue) and everything was too big! That is a nice feeling to have when you're getting dressed, and eventually I had to wear my Heritage t-shirt, and put a red sweater over it. I really don't like wearing clothes that are too big, so I guess I'll need to go shopping! ;) I've found that I'm a little colder at school than I used to be. I've been wearing lots of sweaters (like my co-workers) when normally before I was warm during the day.
I will post some pictures next week, a month after the last pictures I posted. My goals for the week are to exercise 5 days, try new foods, and increase my water intake. Have a super-dee-duper week! :)

Yo-Yo Week
This week has had it's ups and downs. Weight-wise, I have only lost 1.8 since last Saturday. I was supposed to get my period on Thursday, and I haven't gotten it yet. My weight loss this week has simulated what happened the other time I got my period, but then it didn't come. I guess I may still get it, but it's a little discouraging since last month I had gotten it exactly 28 days from the first time I got it in the hospital. I'm not really disappointed about the small weight loss this week. I know that each week can't be 5 or 6 pounds. I did measure my inches from the day before surgery, and I have lost 10 INCHES in my waist since surgery!! I'm very excited about that, and I can definitely tell in my pants. I had been buying more shirts in smaller sizes in the few weeks after surgery, and now I realize I have to get some more pants, since everything is getting too big. :)
Yesterday was the first time I truly got sick from something I ate. On Thursday night, I went to Chili's for dinner with Kelly and her kids, and Chris. I ordered the Monteray Chicken dish. I ate about 1/3 of the chicken, with a few bites of mashed potatoes, and everything went down fine with no problems. I took some for lunch yesterday, and I ate about another 1/3 of it. About a half hour after lunch, I started feeling a little sick. After I went to the bathroom, nothing really happened, and I started feeling better. About an hour later, I felt sick again, and this time I threw up. I will qualify this by saying I approached feeling sick a little differently than I had before. The other few times I thought I was going to throw up, I tried to swallow it back down, take deep breaths, and try hard for it not to come out. This time, I thought it might make me feel better sooner if I gave myself permission to do it, and it came out. It was over pretty quickly, and I felt a little better afterwards, but my stomach was not "normal". There were lots of strange noises going on in my stomach, which they said will happen because of this type of surgery. I left school a little early, and came home, just in case I got sick again. I began to get worried about my protein and water intake, since I hadn't drunk anything in about 2 1/2 hours, and I hadn't had my afternoon meal. I decided to drink some Boost, so I'd get the protein without having to eat anything. Well, that proved to be a mistake too. I got terrible heartburn, and then realized that I had forgotten to take my Prilosec that morning. I took my Prilosec, and waiting a little while, but the heartburn wouldn't go away. I felt terrible. Around 5:30, I threw up again, and it was mainly the Boost, which I had only taken 4 or 5 sips of. My chest and arms really hurt after I did it, but slowly I started feeling better. I waited about 2 more hours to eat or drink anything, when I felt my system had finally calmed down, and then had a small dinner. Everything went down fine, and I feel okay now. After I've reflected today about the whole experience, I've learned a few things: 1) I need to eat lighter foods at lunch time. Usually I would eat lunch-type foods, but in reality I only have 20 minutes to eat it by the time I drop my kids off and have to pick them up. I'd be better off to have a smaller meal like yogurt, or what I normally eat around 3:00 for my snack, and eat my lunch-type food at 3:00, when I have more time to eat it after school. 2) I need to be more careful with "rich" foods. Even though the chicken dish went down well on Thursday, it did have cheese on it, bacon, tomatoes and BBQ sauce, and that combination is probably too rich on my stomach at this point. I need to go back to foods that are a little more bland to make sure I can tolerate them well, before going back to foods like that. It is hard not to eat the things that I was able to eat before the surgery, but I know that it's only temporary and that my stomach will be able to tolerate some of those foods again after more time has passed. 3) When I feel sick, I can't worry about my protein and water intake. I need to let my body settle down after things like that happen, and know that I can always make up for those things later on. I think if I stick to these three things, I can eliminate this from happening in the future.
A good thing from this week, is that I can wear a favorite pair of khaki pants that I had when I lost weight before, and they are even a little loose! One of my problems with pants, is that I need them to be a certain size in the waist, but my legs aren't as big as someone with my waist size would need, so they still end up looking too big. I need to try to find some pants that are a little relaxed in the waist, but slimmer in the legs, so they don't look like clown pants.
I went to the gym on Monday afternoon, and then didn't exercise again until yesterday. On Thursday, Chris and I had heard about a media story about Carnie Wilson, and how she had gained some weight back after her weight loss surgery. After she had her daughter, she gained about 50 pounds back from the 150 she had lost from her surgery. I started to think about how I really need to be exercising so that I am maximizing my weight loss potential, and getting healthy habits that I can keep up once I get down to my goal weight. Chris and I talked about it, and decided that most of our problem with working out after work is that we're so tired. We just want to come home and watch TV all night, and have a hard time getting motivated to get dressed and go for a walk or go to the gym. Walking at night at home has been a little easier for us to do, but with the rain this week, it meant we had to go to the gym, which we didn't make the effort to do. When we first got married, and were living in our apartment, the school I student taught at started later than my school does now, and we would get up around 6:00 and take Spencer for a walk. It was fall then too, so it was colder and easier to be outside since you didn't really sweat. Thursday night we talked about this, and even though it would be SUPER EARLY to get up at 5:00, we would try it on Friday morning. If we could do this 5 days a week, then we wouldn't exercise on the weekends, and we would try to go to bed a little earlier. 5:05 came pretty early, but we did it, and it felt great! We walked for a half hour, got home and I got ready while he watched TV and ate breakfast. I took my breakfast in the car, and finished it at school, and I felt like everything worked really well. I did go to bed last night at 9:00, so obviously my system will not be able to handle going to bed around 10:30 anymore on school nights, but I think this could work. I'll keep you posted next week as to how things went, but we've got nothing to lose, right?
Overall, I am feeling good, and really happy about my weight loss. I know the road on this journey isn't always going to be smooth, but I think the way I approach the bumps in the road will define how this overall journey is going to go for me. Thank you for all of your positive emails, comments, and talks we've had. You, my friends and family, are an integral part of my journey, and I'm so glad I have you here with me along for the ride! :):):)

42 pounds--Whoohoo!
I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted! (but secretly, it's nice to have people pester me to update it, since I know at least a few people are reading my blog! ;) I have lost exactly 42 pounds as of today!!!! The pictures above were taken earlier today. I am wearing my SKINNY JEANS! These jeans were the smallest size I bought when I lost the 50 pounds with Weight Watchers about 5 years ago. I haven't been able to wear that size since---and it is currently the smallest pants size I own. I guess I'll be getting more clothes soon! The other red dress is a milestone as well. Before my surgery, I went to the "regular women" size department at Macy's, and bought that dress. I could get it on, but it was really tight. I knew as soon as I could wear it, it would be a huge accomplishment, since it was so tight when I first put it on. Well, it fits! I may wear it to school soon, before it gets too cold. I figure I could wear it to State games too. (Chris HATES when I justify what I buy things for! He jokes that I have purses for "a Thursday in September, when it's raining, and State is playing Clemson." heehee...I guess I do feel the need to justify my purchases, since I like to buy purses and clothes!)
I'm feeling really good. I met with my surgeon last Monday, and he was very pleased with my weight loss. He told me I was looking good! He checked my scars, and everything is healing well. I had to laugh when they took my weight in the office. Normally at a doctor's office, your weight is like 5 pounds higher than it is at home that morning, usually because you've eaten since the morning, and it makes you feel bigger than you actually are. Well, this time, the scale was LESS than I was that morning! That was a new feeling. Everything else was great, and when they were updating my records, it was amazing to remember that I'm off my blood pressure and insulin resistance medicines, I'm not having headaches all of the time (like before surgery) and I'm not feeling numbness in my hands and arms when I wake up. Those were all things I had told them were going on before surgery. He even said it was good that I was exercising 3 times a week, even though I told him I'd like to get up to 5 times. Last week I only went once, but I have packed my gym bag and plan to make up for it this week! I'm also going to plan going with friends, a set time each week, which will help keep me on track.
I am LOVING the compliments I receive. Mainly they are from school, but even today at our family party, several people hadn't seen me since before the surgery, and they said they could really tell a difference. I still can't believe that it's only been 7 weeks since the surgery. My next appt. is in November, and at that time, I will advance to the next part of my diet. We did book our trip to NYC over Thanksgiving, so I'm very excited about that. We are leaving Tuesday morning, and driving to Baltimore, to stay with our friend Gregg. On Wednesday, we'll drive up to NY, and we're staying there Wed., Thurs., and Friday nights. We'll drive back home on Saturday. We're going to go to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and eat Thanksgiving dinner with Chris's sister Caroline. Caroline lives in Times Square, so her place is our home base when we visit. Since we'll be going a little later than we usually go in November, there should be more decorations up as well. I LOVE this time of year! I'm already thinking ahead to the trip, and how I am going to plan my meals. I have to be sure I can still eat every few hours, and find foods that are healthy. Luckily since Caroline lives there, she can steer us to the right places. :)
I felt sick twice this week. Once was during reading groups, when I had eaten my snack too fast, since I was talking with my grade level during planning. I got the feeling that I might be sick, and had to end groups early and head to the bathroom. Luckily it passed pretty quickly. On Wednesday night I had a bigger problem with feeling sick. This time, the feeling lasted for about a half hour, and then resurfaced again an hour later when I started to drink again. I had eaten a small portion of rotisserie chicken, and a few small pieces of tomato and mozzarella. I was sitting and talking with Chris, and was still nibbling on the rest of my chicken, even after I was feeling a little full. I had the thought that I should finish the piece I took...even though of course that is a habit I HAVE to get away from. I definitely learned my lesson. I kept saying to myself, I should just go ahead and throw up, because I know I'll feel better, but I just couldn't do it. I kept swallowing, just hoping it wouldn't come up. After that, I had some chicken two days later, but I took a smaller piece, and stopped when I was full.
Today Chris and I cleaned the house, so it feels nice to sit downstairs and write my blog, with a feeling of accomplishment. We normally have a pretty clean house each fall, since we usually have a TON of family parties to watch the State game, but we have been fortunate to go to many of the games, so that hasn't been the case. I am having a staff party here at the beginning of November, so at least it won't be too hard to keep up this job for that. :)
Ok, well I guess that's all for now. (since I'm rambling about cleaning the house... ;) I hope everyone has a super week! Only 4 weeks until track out--I can see the end in sight!!

Pictures!
Chris is awesome with photoshop, and he made this picture collage of my weight loss so far. It's hard to see the difference unless they are side by side, but once he put them together it's definitely evident! :) Thanks, honey! The other pictures are from Erica's Heart Walk last weekend. I was down a size in jeans, and wearing a shirt I bought from Target right after surgery that didn't fit then, but does now!
36 pounds!! Yay!
I am feeling GREAT! In this past week, my weight loss has picked back up again, and I'm losing about a pound a day/every two days. I exercised 3 times, which is not up to my goal yet, but it's getting there. The most exciting thing is the clothes! I cleaned out my closet last weekend, and some this week as well, of clothes that are just too big to wear anymore. Once I try something on that doesn't fit, I put it either in my pile for consignment, or Good Will. Last weekend, I also started trying on pants in my next size down, and they fit! It seemed like with shirts I was able to move down sizes much sooner, than I was in pants. I also have some shoes that are getting too big to wear as well. I have this pair of brown high heeled flip flops, and my feet slid right down to the very front when I put them on!! So I guess I'm shrinking everywhere! ;)
I've gotten SO many compliments at school this week about my weight loss. I see the people on my hall much more than I see the K-3rd grade teachers, so naturally when those teachers haven't seen me everyday, I look more different to them. One of the pairs of pants I was able to wear this week, I haven't worn since 2005, when I lost the weight with Weight Watchers. They were very slimming, and I felt fabulous and confident. I just couldn't be happier right now with my decision to have the surgery. The hardest parts are behind me, and things are going very well!!
Food-wise, I only had one problem this week, so I'm getting more and more used to what I can and can't have. I've really been eating the same things lately, I guess because I like the taste and they go down well. Some of my main staples are cream of wheat with sweet and low and cinnamon (and sometimes I add pear or peach baby food like my mom used to make :) for breakfast, for lunch or snack I like one piece of Melba toast with 2 slices of deli turkey breast and an ounce of cheese, and for dinner I've been having some chili with cheese, soup, or mini meatballs with spaghetti sauce. That 'sort of' helps my Italian craving. :) The only 'out to eat' foods I've been craving are Italian and Mexican, so I'm trying to see how I can make those flavors at home. I just think that those things out to eat are going to have too much fat and calories, even if I only eat a small amount. Last night at school we had a Book Bop fundraiser for our book fair, and I served pizza for an hour. One of my friends asked me if it bothered me to serve that, knowing I couldn't eat it, and I could honestly say it didn't. I wasn't hungry, and another thought that crossed my mind was how the bread from the crust would form into a ball of dough in my stomach, and that was enough to curb my feelings from craving it. That's not to say that I don't crave foods I can't eat once in a while, but luckily those times are few and far between. Normally before a school event, I'd go out to eat with my friends, and last night it was kind of cool how food just wasn't important. I didn't eat dinner until 8:00 when I got home, and since I wasn't hungry, food wasn't something I had to think about all night. On the way home, I picked up Subway--a 6 in. turkey and cheese on whole wheat, with lettuce, tomato and light mayo. Last Sunday at Erica's heart walk, I had a little bit of a sub, and it went down well, so I thought I'd try it again. I had about 3 inches of it, but I only ate half of the bread on that 3 in. I also had 5 Baked Lay's with it, and everything tasted great! Spencer is loving that I'm not eating much. He has a radar for when I'm nearing the end of my meal, and then he'll come sit by me and finish off the leftovers. :) He's so smart. My favorite dessert now is no sugar added fudgsicles. I can eat them right after my meal, and I usually have one after dinner. Another treat that I really like is sugar free caramel Nips. It is hard caramel, that after you suck on for a while, becomes soft. I've had no problems with those, probably because I take so long to finish one. So this week has been great, with hardly no food problems.
I'm due to take another round of photos today, since I do them every 2 weeks. I'll post those sometime tonight or tomorrow, and you can see my progress over the last 6 weeks. Now that I've hit the 6 week mark, there are some recipes in my post weight loss surgery cookbooks that I can try, so I'm going to plan to make a few of those this week.
I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday, which I'm sure will go well. My next food advancement will be near the end of November, at 3 months. At that point, I will be able to add most foods back into my diet. Chris and I are thinking about taking a driving trip to D.C., Baltimore, New York, and possibly Boston over Thanksgiving, so that is something I'm looking forward to. Also my family is going to Dallas over New Year's to visit my Uncle Ron and Aunt Maria Rosa. I love to travel, so I'm so excited about these trips coming up!! :) We're talking about possibly going to Europe next year, before we try to get pregnant again as well. I LOVE to organize and plan trips, so I am so happy to put my focus into those things right now.
Thank you to everyone for all of your positive comments and support! :) Have a lovely day!

Thank you to everyone for all of your positive comments and support! :) Have a lovely day!
