Drank my perrier water.
Once the incisions on my belly are completely closed, I'll be able to get on that elliptical trainer again. My digestive system is really thanking me for eating so carefully. I'm starting to notice my fingers are getting slimmer....not quite dainty yet, but slimmer.
 
skinny

Hey thanks for stopping by my diary. That was great. And its good to see you back around here. Hope you're feeling better.
 
Hi! I came over to check out your diary. What drama! I wasn't expecting the part where you rushed off to the hospital for surgery! I'm so glad you are ok and steadily recovering. It can't be easy, but you are doing a super job! 156 is amazing!!
BTW-It's so funny that you mention that your fingers are getting slim! Mine are too!! I swear it's the first place I lose weight- my hands and wrists! My wedding ring is always coming off now! But who notices skinny hands? Skinny thighs are so much more impressive. Sigh.

Walked at coffee break for 30 minutes.

Today we had a retirement luncheon for a 60 year old co-worker who retired but trust me, this doll acts anything but 60. She is super funny, swears like a trucker (sorry T2) and always talked about how much she loves Rick Mercer (comedy guy on Canadian t.v.), Mandy Patinkin (american actor), and all these other men. Oh how we will miss her. The food was super healthy, except for white rice, there were vegetables cooked perfectly, and chicken on skewers. I didn't have cake and didn't even miss it. Amazing how once you string a few days together with no sugar, it completely leaves your system and you lose cravings for it.

But today I reminded myself that an overeating binge can attack when I least expect it. At night, in the afternoon, any time I can have a sudden urge to eat one of my sin foods (won't mention them because I don't want to interfere with anyone's will power). I've found watching movies at home or going out to the movies lead to temptation. I know I might sound weird, but I truly believe I am an addict because I can't have one nice thing and then say "well that was nice, now back to eating healthy". I go on a nose dive of gluttonous frenzy which can last for days. I figure until I am able to have just that one thing and leave it at that, I'm going to abstain altogether from sugar. A few years ago in a club, I saw these two broads in their 50s and they looked super slim and awesome and I asked them "what are you guys doing right?" They laughed and said they don't do sugar. AMEN.
 
I'm totally with you on that.

Amen to sugar free. Amen to controlling it. Amen to measuring it. Amen to managing it.

Curses to being pulled down by it.

Amen to weight loss.
Amen to tea.
Amen to those two ladies.

Soon it will be you and me. You first.
 
Lol. Right on.

Yeah, I don't really want to meet anyone yet. I don't have time. This project takes all my focus.

Think I'll reach 180 at the end of May. That's two more months and I'll totally be in new territory. Maybe I'll be out of the obese category. (I should look that up.) That will be 20% of my starting weight. A noticeable difference. And I will never weigh 200 or 190 again (as long as I'm healthy and don't have to go on more weightgaining medication) Then 180 will be my high weight.
 
Hey Anna,
Just popping in to see how you're doing :)
Hope you have a GREAT Friday!

oh, and
LOL 30 minutes. I hear ya. We'll be 60, wearing purple hats, with bags under our eyes and around our arms, swearing at young women and whistling at young men.

Hey thanks for popping by my diary :). You seem to really be doing things the way I'm striving to do with portion control and regular exercise.

THE PURPLE HAT
(Beautiful Women)
Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen.
Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella.
Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister (Mom, I can't go to school looking like this!)
Age 20: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"- but decides she's going out anyway.
Age 30: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"-but decides she doesn't have time to fix it so she's going out anyway.
Age 40: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"-but says, "At least, I am 'clean"and goes out anyway.
Age 50: She looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go.
Age 60: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.
Age 70: She looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life.
Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world.
Maybe we should all grab that Purple Hat a little earlier.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen within her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole.
But true beauty of a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows

​
although the original poem is the red hat :)
​

WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

I bet you're going to trip them with your walking cane just so you can resuscitate them.
