Hmmm...

Sorry it's been so long. And I have to admit, with the move, I have NO IDEA where any of my books of quotes are so it will be a while before I get another of those. I'm not even sure where my Bible is at this point. But we have a long weekend coming up to work on the new place. My roommate and I have almost everything out of the old place now. It's cleaned up except for the laundry room. And the laundry in the laundry room is the last of the stuff to get out. Thank goodness!!! We are going to get that tonight. Thanks to those who helped last weekend. It might be pathetic, but we absolutely could not have done it without you!

I have a lot on my mind but not enough time to discuss it all here. Since the move is pretty much done, I will be blogging more regularly soon.

As a side note, I have now lost 58 pounds.

Move

So my roommate and I have been moving this weekend. Our internet will not be hooked up right away so I will be a little silent for a few days, but not gone. Any help is still appreciated as we still have a good amount of stuff at the old house that needs to get out by the end of next weekend. Prayers will be appreciated too as I am still not up to full speed from the surgery and trying to do too much. :-)

Update Once Again...

I have now lost 52 pounds since June 1st. Since the surgery, I have been losing about 1 pound a day or more. I am finally on the maintenance stage of my diet which means I can eat pretty much what I want within reason. Still no refined sugar. And I should continue to avoid fried foods and foods high in fat and calories, but I can now have breads and nuts and grains again. Yippeee! I bought some Kashi frozen dinners because they are low in sodium, but high in protein which I really need. So yay! I'm feeling sick or in pain less and less when I eat (some of which could be because I am learning to eat more slowly and eat less). I'm getting more water in during the day which is also good.

So here is a photo of me within the last couple of days.

Sorry It's Been a While

Things have been pretty crazy around here. Shocking, eh? I am back at work and moving next weekend. If you want to help, I am needy enough to take you up on it. :-) So right now, I have lost 49 pounds. I am eating just bites at a time, but I don't go around hungry. I miss eating sometimes, but it's getting better all the time. Sometimes I eat a little too much or too quickly and suffer for it, but if I go slowly and eat small bites, then I am okay. So things are going pretty well.
