Weekly Update Sept 30

Pictures of me, one year apart.
Here it is, the last day of September, and I have been doing this blog for 2 months now.  Almost 1000 people have seen this blog.  The week was a good one.  I walked twice and went to the gym twice, because I had a doctors appointment and to meet with the nutritionist   Both are happy with my progress to weight loss surgery.  I asked the nutritionist about popcorn.  She said it was ok, as long as we brought our own popcorn to the movies and not buy theirs.  So yesterday, I bought popcorn in individual bags for our next movie night. 

 Still do not know if I want to do the surgery or not.  I was reminded by a work friend, that I have to do it for me and only me.  

 Weekly net weight loss:  2.2 lbs.  I lost all the weight that I gained plus .1 of a pound more.

Weekly Update Aug 27

Another busy week.  Had two appointments, a psychological evaluation on Monday and the nutritionist on Tuesday.  Psychological Evaluation was meeting with a doctor for about an hour, asking background questions, then a two tests, that had about 500 questions.  I thought I could get this all done before work, but the test was so long that I had to use a sick day.  The nutritionist was good.  Learned what I should and should not eat.  Need to tweak the diet  just a little.  I now look at labels more closely. Went grocery shopping today.  Had to walk through the soda and snack isles.  Stopped at Mountain Dew to see what I was missing.  Moved along.  This week is not bad.  One doctors appointment this week, so far. Net weight loss for this week:  0.8 lbs.

Weight for me was never a issue until a few years ago.  I have always been some what of a big guy.  In high school, in a science class, it was asked who was the largest person in the class weight size.  It was me at almost 200 lbs.  It really did not both me.  I stayed active  swimming almost every day during the summer.   As I left my high school years, weight was a thing that was always in flux.  I went on a mission for my church weighing almost 250 lbs and came home under 200 lbs.  As I got married and my weight would go up and down as I worked a demanding job and went to school. By my 30's I was still working and very active.  But my weight was now over 300 lbs. During this time I was racing cars and having a driver that is heavy is a penalty of the total weight of the car by 100 to 150  pounds. But it still did not bother me, even though my dad was after me to lose the weight.  At the same time I am working ou...

Weekly Update Oct 7

Here we are in October!  Been doing this blog for over two months, and have had over 1000 views.  It was another busy week.  Two doctor's appointments this week.  Got the clearance from my heart doctor for surgery, now I have to get clearance from my lung doctor, which will happen next week.   My other doctors appointment was to the foot doctor.  I have had pain in my left foot for a few months now.  It has been a nagging pain, that would wake me up some nights.  I am never in pain when I am active.  The pain is in the ball of my foot.  So I got a shot between my big toe.   It is hard to believe that I am going to say it, but I am glad that next week is normal, because I get back to my work out schedule again, which is 3 day walking and 3 days at the gym.  It can not believe that I want to get back to working out that much, but I do enjoy it now.  It really has improved my life.   We went to the movie...
