Yesterday made 14 days. I think I lost 7 lbs or so but it's hard to tell cuz I was so bloated in the beginning and was retaining a lot of fluid. I think a lot of what I lost was fluid. Anyway, a loss is a loss and I'll take it. I feel much better except for the rash I have. I am on steroids. I'll see what that does. I got a lot of veggie carbs in today. I am going on with OWL gonna keep my carbs at 25 for the next week then see what happens. I definitely know that I don't want any of the bad stuff anymore. I really like eating this food. I will do this. I can see myself weighing between 135 and 140 by New years eve 2010. That would mean I ONLY HAVE TO LOSE 53 LBS AND THAT'S ABOUT 5 LBS A month or 1.5 a week or less. I can do that!! That is a goal I can live with. If i lose it before hand thats ok too. I look forward to the ball games and running crazy this spring/summer. I want to make Jeff take us to the beach several times this summer. I think I will buy the Blue Bayou season passes and that will be our once a month trip. If we go 6 times this summer (i know thats not once a month) but anyway we will definitely do well. I want to be active. I want to move around alot more. I think I need that. I plan on walking the baseball field when the boys practice if I can. I hope Jeff can participate a lot more this year. Well enough for now ..God Bless this journey to the real me trapped inside.
