Woot!

Down a pound!  I knew that the issue was bathroom related! 

Hubby is going to Vancouver island for 10 days as of this afternoon to see his son.  My mini goal is to be down to 190 by the time he gets back.  That's 2 pounds. Should be easier for me to get my exercise in since I won't be going around any other schedule but my own...well other than the dog.. lol

Wish me luck Diary!

meh

Today wasn't a good day... intestinally speaking...

I haven't gone #2 in days and I was feeling a little... erm... backed up.  I haven't lost weight in a few days either which I'm sure is related.  I was actually considering taking something tonight when I got home to remedy that.  Well apparently the "no sugar added" pudding from Jello took care of that.  Within 20 minutes I made a beeline for the bathroom.  huh... lesson learned.  No more pudding at work!

Then tonight, I had the toppings from a small slice of Hawaiian pizza from last night (ordered to watch the Hockey game).... I think I had 2 bites and that was it.... it all came right back up.  Returned!  Sleevie was NOT happy.  I seem to also regained my bile in the last week or so because since the last time I posted about puking to this time, now I have that nasty acid taste and bile come up whereas a couple weeks ago I didn't.  Interesting, I'd guess Sleevie has healed enough to have bile return.  Nasty... but interesting.

Hoping for a loss tomorrow on the scale!  Fingers crossed :)

mmm yum yum

Hubby made Shepards Pie for dinner.  With a twist.

Mashed sweet potato over creamed corn and ground hamburger with bbq sauce.


SO. GOOD.

Non VSG postyness

It’s BYOC day – Bring Your Own Crazy…. five questions we all answer in an effort to get to know each other better and to give our blog brains a break! Copy and paste to your own blog and ENJOY!


1. How and why did you first start blogging? And how long have you been blogging?

I started blogging back in 2005.  I have always been a writer and like to be able to get my thoughts out as freely as I can.  My last blogs were Livejournal (which I haven't updated in a couple years) Livejournal  and Fishie musings (which I haven't updated in 1.5 years)   Gosh I'm bad at keeping up with my blogs...

I will try and keep this one going.

2. Tell me about your perfect mate – if you could invent him/her?

I'm married to my best friend.  What more could I ask for?  My perfect mate and I met on plentyoffish in 2006, dated very briefly as he was fresh back from Afghanistan and not in a place for a relationship so we got to be good friends instead.  We lost touch for about a year around 2008 when I was mad at him for starting things back up with an ex that had previously ripped his heart out and stomped on it.  We reconnected at a Nickelback concert in April 2009, engaged by Sept 2009 and married by April 2010!  He's funny, sweet, crazy, silly, smart, kind and overall a great person.  His selfless contribution of his life and health for his country makes me want to be a more selfless person. 

3. Do you wear fake eyelashes? Do you want to? Do you use glue or self-stick ones? Do you like how they look?

I have had the permanent falsies put on in the past.  I went to Greece for a couple weeks and didn't want to fuss with makeup while I was gone so I had them put on.  They were fantastic.  I didn't have to wear eye makeup at all and they always looked amazing.  I would definitely do it again even being that they were an hour to get put on and $100!

4. Let’s say money was no object and neither was time off to recover – are you an advocate of plastic surgery after weight loss?

Hell yes.  I would love to get my crepe-y tummy skin removed and  my boobies lifted when I get to goal.  The rest, I think I'd be fine to not bother with but when I've lost weight in the past (numerous times) those were the 2 areas that really bothered me.

5. Repeat question. Summarize your week in blog land and in real life.

Real life--- Honestly its boring.  I've worked myself to crazy exhaustion as usual.  I've worked out a couple times (which at this point really is just walking), I've occasionally considered kicking my hubby in the ass (see perfect mate ... above) because he was annoying me for some stupid reason and I've seen my brother and we've planned a camping trip for July.  My life is pretty boring at present.  On the flip side,  I've done alot of dreaming about what I COULD be doing... about getting a job in Dubai and moving there, about moving to Vancouver Island, I've even looked at real estate.  It's all pipe dreams at this point as we have 2 houses here currently so we have to stay at least until the end of this year so our renters are out.  The place we're living in?  Well we just bought it in Dec so we'd definitely lose money if we sold so early... who knows where life is going. 

Blog Land - trying to keep my blog current and properly chronicle my VSG experiences as openly as I can.  I want to make sure that anyone that reads these entries understands that its not all a bed of roses and its not easy by any means.  It's easy(er) to lose weight since you're so restricted but the head crap is sometimes alot to deal with.
