A couple of weeks ago, a friend & fellow homeschooler, mentioned that she was just getting home from her Co-op with a ton of fruits and veggies for a GREAT price.  Of course I asked her where she got them and how much, and if there was any link she could send me.  She sent me the link to Bountiful Baskets Food Co-op.

One of the things that you’re supposed to do when trying to be successful in anything is to set goals for yourself.  I have tried many times to set goals and challenges for myself in various areas of my life.  From weight loss to blogging (or should that be from blogging to weight loss).  However, I find myself always falling short on my goals and challenges.  Almost like as soon as I set a goal for myself, I do everything possible to keep myself from actually reaching that goal!  It’s maddening, frustrating, irritating… just annoying the living crap out of me!

Those things are nasty looking, aren’t they?  Those are gallstones… not MY gallstones, but someones.  These nasty little things have been acting up on me this week.  I’ve been in pain because I cheated on my diet a teensy weensy HUGE bit.  So I’m in pain and back on my “Jack Sprat Diet”.  I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve been eating to get myself back on track.Breakfasts – Some of the things I’ve been eating for breakfast aren’t very different than my normal breakfasts.  Sourdough bread only has .5 grams of fat per slice!  It’s my favorite type of bread too, so I toast up a couple of slices, use fat free butter spread, and have a banana pus a cup of coffee with fat free non-dairy creamer.  Total Fat – 1 gram Read the rest of this entry »

Valentines day was Sunday.  Steve and I went out to play some poker tournaments, including a “Couples” tournament.  We had fun, even if we didn’t win anything.  I wore some jeans, that I was finally able to fit into again.  I started fitting into them a few weeks ago after I lost 15 lbs because of my gallstones.  Well Sunday, when I put those jeans on, fresh from the dryer, it seemed that they fit me a little better than they had before.  I didn’t take the time to weight myself, mostly because I had been cheating a little to much and last week I had a mild gall bladder attack.  Then yesterday I woke up, and went straight to the scale (ok, maybe not straight to the scale.. I went potty first).  I nearly had a heart attack when I saw what the scale said!!  I am down to….. drum roll please……………………………………………………………………………………

My Health:

So, After I was diagnosed with gallstones I stopped eating so much fat.  I ended up losing 15 lbs in almost as many days.  Then over the holidays, I didn’t stick to my diet and I gained 5 lbs back.  Well since New years, I’ve stuck to my diet much better and have lost 7 lbs so far.  I”m feeling really good, even cute!  So this whole “eating right” thing is working pretty nicely for me.

So I find myself with an answer that I asked for a while ago. I’ve worried about my weight off and n over the years. As I get older my matabolism has gotten ess active, and with my back my ability to be active physically has waned. So I’ve found myself gaining weight and having less ability to lose it easily.

One of the problems is that I really don’t worry about my weight too much. Ive never been overly self conscious about my weight and have rebelled against the “skinny” image that the media shoves down our throats. Plus I’m just a little lazy….ok a lot lazy too. So finding the motivation to exercise and eat right is really difficult for me to do. And since I have an abslutely fabulous boyfriend who loves me know matter what my size is, well there’s not motivation there either. LOL.

So really the only way to get me motivated to eat better is to make it physically difficult to eat. I thought about getting a Lap Band to decrease my stomache size and it would also make it harder for me to eat various foods too. But it is rather expensive to have that surgery done and kinda frivolous too…. at least in my mind for me it is.

Well the Universe gave me the next best thing….. gallstones. I have to watch the amount of food I eat, or I start to hurt. I can’t eat certain foods, or I start to hurt. So it is forcing me to eat less and healthier or else!

So silver lining of all this icky health stuff is that I will probably end up losing a ton of weight. LOL Be careful what you wish for, because you WILL get it! hehehhehe

As you can see (if you click on the thumbnail above the picture will get larger), I’ve gained a couple of pounds since I last posted with my weight.  I am now weighing 217.  THE heaviest I have ever been, in my entire life! Read the rest of this entry »

I know it’s been a while since I last posted here.  Mostly I’ve been avoiding my health and weight issues.  I stopped exercising and felt really guilty about it.  Of course the guilt just adds weight and keeps me from doing the things that I want to do.  It’s a vicious circle that I’d really like to get out of now.  I’ve been learning EFT and Reiki, but I’ve stopped doing that too, that is until recently.

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered — and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.

Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she’s marching to the beat of a different drum. Read the rest of this entry »
