It's Going to Happen SOON!

Arrrrrg! Well, I said previously I was going to hold my 100th post for 100 pounds lost but that seems to be taking longer than I thought.

I am currently hovering at 177.8 as of this morning, but my new years resolution I hope helps with this process.

My resolution is to up my protein count 100 FOLD! I finally found a protein powder I LOVE! I have been adding a scoop of Max Protein to my coffee in the mornings which is a heart helping of 22g of protein, yay!

Some mornings I am able to drink 2 cups worth which nets 44g but I am gradually trying to work myself towards 2 cups a day. I am now carrying the powder with me where ever I go, when I'm out I order a cofee and add it....I can't believe how good this stuff is. It is pricey but I'm willing to fork $$$ over for results.

I am into a size 10 now, amazing! I can't believe that my 6 month anniversary is coming up soooo fast. I want more than anything to be down 100 pounds but I'm not holding my breath, the more I seem to want something the harder it is to achieve these days, LOL!

Glad the holidays are over, I am focus on maxing out my cardio routine at the gym, since the move and the holidays I am all out of sync but NO MORE! I want to focus on losing the remaining 30 pounds I have to lose and enjoy 2009 with vigor and zest that I've never felt before.

Oh yeah....Made a new recipe this morning.

Baked Egg and Sausage Biscuit Cups

Preheat oven to 400 degees
Spray 6 ramekin cups with Pam

1 1/2 cups of Heartsmart Bisquik mix
1/2 cup of skim milk (I added a little more to help with mixing)

Knead dough until smooth, then press into ramekins (6)
Add meat (any kind will do, make sure it's cooked though)
Add 1 egg (I cracked and poured but you can scramble the egg too)
Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Sprinkle with parmesean cheese (any kind will do)

Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until done. Enjoy!

I got the idea from Eggface but wanted to add a bread component for the kids, who LOVED it! I am taking the leftovers and putting them in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow morning, I think they are going to be wonderful!

Well, I'm off!

Unthinkable a Year Ago!!!!

I just finished a hearty helping of shoveling our driveway! It was covered with about an inch of ice and 3 inches of snow ontop of that.

We have a LOOOOONG driveway so this chore took me the better part of 2 hours, whew! I even swept the porch and then laid down salt.

A year ago you wouldn't have caught me doing this, I would have found some excuse not to, for example: It's too cold, the babies need me, my back hurts, I'm too tired, I need to cook dinner, I need to work on laundry. The list can go and on!!!!!

I feel like a million bucks, really I do!!!! Thanks so much RNY you truly have saved me in more ways than you know!

3 MORE POUNDS!!!!

178 TODAY! I am saving my 100th post (this is post #98) for my update at hitting 100 pounds so forgive me if I am not updating as often nowadays.

We are all moved in and unpacked ~ well still have a few boxes left for our bedroom, sigh....

Christmas is rapidly approaching ~ usually this time of year is filled with dread of gaining weight and overeating but this year it is much more joyful for me.

I can't believe that I am 5 pounds away from a normal BMI according to the National Institues of Health. You can check our the NHI's BMI calcuator here:

I will be on the highest end of normal and by no means am I done but I love the thought of being considered NORMAL.

After hitting 100 pounds lost (which puts me at 175) my new goal will be to hit 150 which is another 25 pounds. I am setting this goal for myself to be reached by spring but one never knows.

Hope to update with these final 3 pounds gone SOON!

Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, love you all!!!!!

5 Pounds to GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 5 more pounds to go to hit 100 pounds lost, and that done HOPEFULLY before the year is out and in 1/2 of a year.

I'm READY!!!!

10.....9.....8.....

As of today I am EIGHT pounds away from hitting 100 pounds lost since June 1st! I can't believe it!

I am trying to get settled into our new home, i've only told one person here about my WLS (I know her DIL) but I plan to keep it under wraps from everyone else and make this my fresh new start!

I've had so many people ask me if I was the active duty member stationed here (it's actually Bill) but it blows my mind that i'm perceived thin and healthy enough to be in the military, YAY!

I am looking forward to hitting the gym at the start of the new year, we have so much to put away still and reorganizing to do, then the holidays so I am going to wait until January and go full speed forward to hit 150 as soon as possible, I might even go below that if I can but my body is in charge first and foremost.

So yeah, 8 more pounds to go until I hit a MAJOR goal, help me get there!!!!

Love ya!

90 Pounds!!!!

Amazing! I finally found our scales yesterday, i'm here by myself and doing all the unpacking while Hubby is still in Nebraska (can't wait until he gets here). I about died of shock when I stepped on the scale, i've lost 6 pounds in a week.

I am on the final countdown to ONE HUNDRED POUNDS, help me countdown! I hope to hit 175 before the end of the year ~ fingers crossed!!!!

I promise to post pics as soon as I can find my camera, LOL!
