YEAH ME!!!!

Went to our monthly Doctor/nutrionist visit today :)
Lost 9lbs (2lbs that I had to get off from regaining last month :( ..... but I got it off) That and 7 more lbs :) That is the most I have lost in one month this year :) So I am at 330lbs :) Shooting for 299 by Janurary 1st :)
Now making listes and plans for eating while on vacation.
I am NOT a planner and my weight shows it :(
But I AM making plans and lists....... for vacation
cause 5 years ago when we went on vacation back to Indy I had lost 60lbs from Apirl 04 to Aug 04 (for vacation, Did not eat any candy or icecream watched my food for them four months and exercised regulary) then when we went on vacation I gave myself permision to EAT whatever I wanted and I NEVER went back to eating right...... so this time on vacation I am planning and making lists so I dont fall into that hole again.......
So off to work soon and make my lists while I am there :)
have a great day
Keep On Keepin On

I got to spend 2 hours (Again) with my mother-in-law at the doctors for her :(
Her kidney function is not doing good (no dyalisis YET) but her creatine was 2.3 (normal is 0.4-1.2) He uric acid was a 9 which is HIGH ........ she is border line diabetic and lets just say she was not against me being in the room with her at the doctors but mmmmmm she was NOT happy either :( But now we know where she stands medically (she doesnt understand some medical stuff and does NOT ask questions) and I will be taking her back to the doctor next wednesday to check her creatine level again...... they checked it today again also .....
So spending 2 hours at the doctors with her then taking her to the bank then coming home grabing some food and running off to work .... work was VERY busy today also (think docs are getting in alot of stuff before the holiday weekend) so food was not that great but I am here being accountable so that is good

Day Two of the Rest of My Life

Hey there Blogland......can you believe 6 months from today (the 25th) is Christmas :)
Christmas is my favorite time of the year....well honestly from Halloween through New Years ROCKS.... But Christmas, the birth of Christ, the church programs and everything LOVE IT :)
This also means though that in one week it will be 6 months left of this year......How will you make the rest of this year count??? What will you do different??
We went to the nutritionist/doctors appointment today ..... and you will never guess this I gained two pounds GRRRRRRRRRR..... Dr. had a LONG straight forward talk with me BIG time..... see either the end of last year or first of this year I had a echo done on my heart..... my left ventricle is mildly enlarged a bit thickened......and my tricuspid valve only has a bicuspid (it is a inhearited deformity .....) Lucky me huh .... well any ways I have lost and kept off a total of 4lbs this year (since Janurary) the other weight I have put on then lost the next month GGGGGRRRR But Doc basically told me...... Dawn you work in the medical field and you know things about your body and how it works....... so loose weight or go into CHF early ....... take your pick....... and he told me he knows I can do it but he is NOT holding his breath to see much of a loss next month ... he said it will probably be two pounds .....
That got me thinking abit all day ...... God has brought me through cancer (I had mixed mullerian sarcoma uterine cancer in August of 2007) and he does not want me to die from heart problems..... so I am the only one that can fix this ..... either I need to get real about it and deal with all that comes with it or I need to start explaining to my 5 year old why his mommy wont be here when he is graduating from high school or college or getting married ...... I dont think I want to do that ..... I want to LIVE ...... to enjoy life and STRIVE

So here we are on Day Two of the Rest of My Life

Breakfast was nothing (had to weigh in at 11am and did not want to have the extra food in there)
Lunch was:
2 cups chicken spaghetti
Dinner was:
15 pieces corn nuggets
1 1/2 cups popcorn shrimp
1 cup 4% cottage cheese
Snacks were:
2 fiber plus bars
Water was 6 bottles (16.9oz)
exercise is zero

Tomorrow will be a BUSY day as my mother in law (gotta love her) needs to go to a renal (kidney) specialist as she is in the starts of Renal failure (they think do to her blood work yesterday) and I am the lucky one that gets to take her to yet another doctor .....then I have to work for the next four days .... wish me luck on this doctors appointment with her..... I want to go in with her so I can help her understand what is going on but not sure she will let me go in :(
HELP LOL
Have a great night and Keep On Keepin On
This IS OUR YEAR

Nutritionist/Doctor Visit 3/26

Hello there Blogland !!
I am not sure if spring is ever gonna get to Central Texas :(
I know I know it is only the end of March and alot of places dont see spring until May or so ....so what am I complaining for?? Right?? But it has been so cloudy, chilli, rainy, and GRAY here for a few days now and I am tired of it already :( This being my weekend off and it is suppose to only get to a BIG 62 tomorrow :( Last three times I have had the weekend off it has been chilli and yukky on the weekend Go Figure huh :( Welp I guess that means this weekend can be a spring cleaning in the house weekend YUKK LOL
Yesterday we went to the nutritionist/doctor appointment. I got a big fat Zero. No weight gain No weight lost. Guess I should be pretty happy with that figuring how about two weeks ago I just went on a eating vacation and ate ate and ate when I got home from work (10pm) But the good thing is I seen what I was doing and stopped it (ok after a few days of it but I did stop it). Before I would have just kept right on going and to see no loss would have given me even more reason to eat more. If you know what I mean. So I have pulled up my big girl panties and am moving forward. I have ran upon fitday website and am using it to record my food intake and exercise .......it is a cool site :) And am in hopes this will help me with actually SEEING what I am eating and doing :) My hubby lost 3lbs last month...... He is doing so good. And he won our 25 dollar challenge. So now we have another 25dollar challenge for next month......who ever loses the most get the money to spend the way they want :) And you can bet he is NOT gonna win next time :)
Grab hold and keep on keepin on
Keep chug and movin :)
