2012 - I had Vertical Sleeve Gastric Surgery in October 2012, and this is my journey to push the fat girl aside and start living life without fear of lawn chairs, the middle seat, clothing shops and high heels. Among other things.

2017 - I'm preop for the Duodenal Switch procedure for my sleeve to help me get to goal weight....and to fix another hiatal hernia.

She Cooks!!

I made dinner last night out of real food! haha  I'm a good cook, I just don't typically make time for it these days.  Which I know I need to change.  There are only so many omelette's and Amy's frozen dinners I can make me and the Husbeast eat before there is mutiny and we start eating out more. Which I don't want to happen.

Husbeast had physiotherapy last night so while he was out, I made spaghetti squash (noodle substitute) and meat sauce.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
  1. cut core and nuke squash in shallow glass dish for approx 15 minutes (until you can take the flesh out with a fork).
  2. 1 chopped red onion and 1T minced garlic in frying pan with little bit of oil
  3. Once its mostly cooked
  4. Add "un-sausaged" hot Italian Jenni-O turkey sausage (squeeze it out of the skin)
  5. cook until brown
  6. Add pasta sauce*
  7. pepper to taste - that sausage is pretty spicy so doesn't need anything else really
note: I drain off all the fat after its done cooking, less grease = yay!

*okay, I guess I lied, I didn't cook everything from scratch, I really only had to chop the squash and the onion!!  :)   I consider this cooking, so that's what counts.

I had some last night and just finished eating it for my lunch.  Really yummy, and I just love the squash noodles. They are amazing, I really don't ever miss regular noodles at the house now. We always have these.

Today's weigh in was a good one. I had a goal of 262 for my trip to Vancouver.  I stepped on the scale this morning at:  262.4

Bloated!

ug.  got my pre-period bloat on.  Forgot that was coming. Up on the scale this morning.

Weigh In: 265.2

Good water intake today and food is good.   Food has been okay - I had lunch with our accountant as we have some rather complicated tax issues coming up this year.  I had an appy of lamb/potato croquettes.  Very nice and really... that was enough to fill me up. Still feels awesome to get that off of an appy sized meal.

I can't wait to be done at the office today, get home, eat some dinner, watch Walking Dead, and go to bed. The dog is going to get a short walk tonight.

I slept well last night, but I need another one to really catch up.

Did some icing last night and today. Groin is getting better again, I just have to remember to not push it over the weekend.

Another unexciting post, but hey... thats life! :)

Internet blues

No Internet in the house today, thank the gawds for my phone and wi-fi.

Just a quick post.

Weigh-in: 270.6

Down a little today. :)

It's a light eating day for me, i'm just not in the mood for food. Got some grits and chick-chick baby food for my late lunch. Likely won't finish this. That is an 7oz ramikin, 4oz grits, 3oz baby food.

Lots of house chores have been done today. Laundry laundry laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dished washed by hand and in the dishwasher, dog washed and garbage taken out. A long hot bath is on the agenda for tonight. I can't wait!
