So glad I have the fitbit.  I feel guilty if I dont get at least 5,000 steps a day.  I'm doing all of my walking outside in the country around our barnyard.   The nutrionist said 15 minutes 3xs a week.  So far I have been doing 15 at least every day.   The goal is to get up to 10,0000 steps a day. Yesterday I started to add free weights to mix things up.  It's all working -down 9 pounds since Friday Dec 12, 2014   I even looked into some popluar 5K's held around here.   First time ever.  See how the weight loss goes.  First one is the 4th of July.  My energy level is for sure gone way up since I started the Adepex. I can't wait to see how much weight and inches I can lose this 1st month.

Well I was down to 378.2 on the scale this morning.   That's down 6.3 since the 12 of December.  Alot of people talking about the stahl  after you have surgery.  Actually woke up lst night thinking about how i will handle it if and when it happens to me.  So I wrote a list of non scale victories I am looking forward too.  It was a full page.  I'm sure I will think of more.  trying to keep plan ahead for those bumps in the road.  So far the Adepex is doing it's job.  Don't think I would be doing so good without it.  Hoping the scale keeps moving and I can do better than the 15 pounds by January 16th which is my next appointment.

And the $ keeps going out.  I invested in a digital physicians scale because the one I paid $40. for fluctuates so bad.  I also bought a Fitbit Charge to help track my movements and sleep.  Both were worth the money.  Next on the list an Ipod touch I find I walk further and faster listening to music.  My daughter snagged mine a while back.  Feeling great how things are going. 

Things went well today.  I found the office without trouble.  Met the psychologist, Dr. Curry and the Nutritionist.  Have to lose 30 pounds before surgery.  I am now going to start Adepex Dec 13 for 4 weeks. Back to the Dr. January 16, 2015

Well tomorrow is the first of many "big" days ahead.  My first face to face appnt.  I'm surprisingly not even nervous.  It was a challenge today to not eat bad things.  I ate Subway for lunch and 2 bagels.  I'm sure there should be some fruit in there and veggies but it's more control than I have had in a long time.  Hopefully I the Dr agrees with my choice of the sleeve and I can get my name on the schedule.

I bought a new digitial bathroom scale about a week ago.  Today I finally took it out of the box.  I was feeling like it was a good day to test it out.  I stood on a scale for the first time since probably August. I weighed 351 then.  I dont feel any different. But the scale says 378.  I got on and off numerous times.  How did this happen?  OMG OMG  I was tellingmyself if I could get to 200 lbs I would have to lose 150 pounds.  Now i have to lose 178.  that extra 28 pounds seems like it may as well be another 100.  I go to my first appointment Friday.  They are expecting me to weigh 351.  I'm afraid they will delay scheduling surgery now.  Reality bites!  Why and how did i ever get here? :(

  After 4 Thanksgiving dinners in a week  it's safe to say I have had enough of Thanksgiving.  Sunday was the worst when we got together with my husbands family.  It was a mild weather day for here in Ohio and I sat outside in the screened in porch.  Unlucky for me they had the cheap plastic chairs to set on.  First off I didn't fit in so I kinda sat toward the front of the chair.  The chair was cheap molded plastic and it was wobbly.  I survived eating dinner and later more family, my daughter and granddaughter came out to where I was setting.  I leaned forward and the chair leg buckled and down me and my granddaughter went.  I could have cried, screamed and crawled under the table.  I was afraid to look, I thought I broke the chair.  The chair leg just bent under when I shifted my weight.  No one was hurt but the embarrassment was terrible.  My first thought was that they were watching this happen and thinking  lard ass.  didn't help that numerous people kept asking if I was ok or if my granddaughter was hurt.  I hate being fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If all works out next year this time I will be able to fit in any chair with no fear of it breaking or buckling under my weight.
