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 movies last night, and went to a theater that we have not been to in a while, that does not have parking really close.  It always seemed like a hike to get to the movies.  But last night was different.  This was noticed when walking back to the car, not huffing and puffing, out of breath.  

 Weekly net weight loss:  2.5 lbs.

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.

And a way we go.....

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 out, to build my strength and endurance, but was not losing an

Is it worth it?

This week has been a very emotional one for me.  I've had highs and lows.  I'm wondering if I am making the right decisions.  Am I making the right choices?   Is all the hard work that I have done really worth it?  Is it worth the compromises I will have to go through? For about ten years, I have had doctors and family members trying to get me to do "the surgery".  My girlfriend has been talking to me about this for a year.  It was not until I went to the weight loss class that I decided to do this.  I started doing the hard work months before even going to the class and seeing the doctor.  Now that I am going through the process, some doubts are creeping in... Am I cheating the process if I do the surgery?  I've already lost a lot of weight by myself.    If I do the surgery, is writing this blog really worth it?  And is this the lifestyle change that I want to make?  I've done so well on my eating and exercising and have proven this by stepping back into
