Surgery date set..........

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

Well, I finally have a surgery date........

August 15th

I cannot wait to get this whole ordeal behind me! Just the thought of NEVER having to buy femine products again is exciting me! (Sad, huh?) Anyway, I'll be able to live my life without black pants and knowing how far the bathroom is from me.......

I haven't done very well with my eating over the past few days..........I think that I was anxious about finding out when the surgery would be..........I am very glad that I know now.......because I have the "control" back in my life.....(yeah, I am a type A person) I did very well with my food today! I am now focused on losing some more weight BEFORE the surgery......I am going to step up my walking regimen, as well. I want to use the time that I will be out of work to drop some additional weight and get into better shape......I know that I will be laid up for a few days.....(or more)....but I want to be able to step up my game on the treadmill!

Now that I have something to look forward to, I am re-energized! I just need to get past the surgery.......

I hope all my sparkfriends are having a great day!

Take care

    Yay, yup, you wont believe how much money you save not having to get those products anymore. I am glad that you are feeling a little more in control of how things will go and glad you have a great attitude. Keep up the great work...I will be walking on my "new" treadmill with ya!

    I am so excited for you. While surgery is not to be taken lightly, I am glad for you that you have an end in sight. Now to use that type A personality to your benefit and become a little healthier prior to surgery. I know emoticon

Haven't blogged in awhile....

Friday, June 10, 2011

I haven't blogged in awhile.....been way too busy!

I have alot of things going on in my life right now.......I am getting ready to have surgery......I don't know when, but I would imagine it will be soon......I have to have a hysterectomy......and I am scared to death over it! I have had a biopsy done.....and an ultrasound done......and I got the results the other day.....

I have 2 large masses of fibroids in my uterus......which doesn't surprise me because I had an ablation done a couple years back to remove some......I guess they came back and then some! Well, the doctor wants to remove my uterus and my fallopian tubes......and she cannot do it vaginally......she will have to make an incision through my abdomen.......so, I will be out of work longer than I anticipated.....

I just want to get this done and over with because I am sure that this issue is what has been holding my weight loss progress up! I want to get back to wearing white pants again......all I ever wear is black! These past few months have been horendous for me......and the feeling of exhaustion all the time doesn't help......on top of my anemia (which I am sure is caused by the excessive bleeding)

So, if you don't see me on here over the next few weeks, it is because I will have had the surgery......and I will be recooperating.......once that is done, I will be able to focus on my goal! I have been able to keep the 22 pounds off, I just cannot seem to get past that number......I am sure that once everything is said and done, I will be successful!

Well, I have spent enough time talking about my issues.......hope everyone has a great day!!

    I am so glad to hear you are going to get some relief from all your issues. I had mine done a little over a year ago though they did mine arthroscopically so think it was less invasive and the recovery went well. I am so glad I had it done and they took it all so haven't had any trouble afterwards...whew! I will be thinking of you while you are out and hope to see you back here again real soon!

Lost the 3 lbs I gained........

Saturday, May 21, 2011

Well, I am pleased to announce that I did in fact lose the 3 pounds that I gained, last week!

I am very excited about that..........I just need to stay focused on my measurements.......ya know?

I did step up my treadmill routine, too!

I am contemplating doing a workout today........I just haven't been able to get up the motivation....I didn't get to bed until 2:00 this morning......(we had company last night and they didn't leave until then).....so, I slept in until 9......WOW.....I haven't done that in years! I am usually up at like 6 am on my days off.......I am feeling like my day is gone.....ya know? I will be sure to go to bed early tonight!

Anyway, I am rambling................just wanted to fill everyone in......

Hope we are all having a "Sparking Day"

    I used to love sleeping late! Now I do my best to be up and moving by 7:30 on my days off...as soon as the sun comes up you're 'burning daylight '! :-)

    Congratulations!

And do I ever feel like a slacker. It's so hard for me to get up at 6am.

gained 3 pounds! Ugh!

Monday, May 16, 2011

Well, I weighed in on Saturday.......and much to my surprise, I gained 3 pounds!

I am upset about it........but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made.........I REALLY need to stop "guessing" on how much I'm eating.......I need to measure! So, I decided to take the weekend off.....I still logged in my food, but I just didn't have it in the front of my brain....ya know? I didn't work out either.

I got up this morning and proceeded to go about my day..........when I got home from work, I hopped on the treadmill........boy, I'm glad that I did! It has given me some clarity......and a fresh start (so to speak)......I am moving forward with this lifestyle change.....and nothing is going to stop me......

My health has become of the utmost importance to me, as of lately.........I have alot going on right now (hysterectomy coming up soon)...........it's time for ME!!

I know that with all my spark buddies, I CAN do this.........I am almost at my first small goal, too! We can do it together! Who's with me?

Happy Mother's Day!

Sunday, May 08, 2011

Well, I haven't really done a blog lately.......been really busy!

I did lose 3 pounds this week.......which I am very pleased about.......because last week wasn't that good (I gained 1 pound)

I actually decided to take yesterday off........I did track my calories though......it's just that I haven't had a day to "treat" myself in months.......and I had a good time of it too! I actually had some reduced fat potato chips.......(yummo!) I treated myself to some beef terriyaki for dinner......with pork fried rice.......and an egg roll........(I haven't had that in such a long time)

So, this morning, I decided to do a longer treadmill workout..........just to burn some extra calories!

Today, I am at my sissy's house...........with the fam.........and she made a spark people recipe for lunch........it was soooo good..........(Chicken Marsala) So, I Iooked it up on here and saved it to my cookbook! I will definitely make that.....and we had some mashed potato and broccoli.........tossed salad........and I had made an angel cake for dessert with fresh strawberries and sugar free chocolate syrup! Yummmmm...........

So, I hope that all my SP friends are having a wonderful mother's day! I also hope that we are all making "healthy choices"..........:)
