Intro day

Well today I went and got weighed and measured... got all my supplements and food.. and a great pep talk from Pam the wonderful woman who got me started today.. Tomorrow is my first day.. I was nervous about it for some reason.. well now.. not so much so.. It will be a huge change in the way I eat and drink.. I am not sure how cutting all the carbs out of my diet is going to affect me.. although it says that possible side effects can be headaches- they also tell you how to help get rid of them too.. My starting weight---- dum dum dum dum-- 245.5lbs.. :(
I go next Wednesday to get weighed in and measured. Will see how much progress I make in my first week.. :) I plan to take this by the horns and get down to 170lbs.. :) :) talk to you all tomorrow.. :)

new start...

Well tomorrow starts a new sector of life for me... I have decided to take control of my life again.. I start the Ideal Protein weight loss program.. WOW.. I am tired of hating to look in the mirror EVERY single day because I "hate" what I see...
I was going to have a gastric bypass in Winnipeg MB BUT... that hope got dashed in January... I was called for an appointment BUT when she booked my apt she "forgot that I was not from Manitoba-- this after i had told 4 times or more that I was not.. She even had to call me so doesn't the phone number give her a clue? apparently not. Well when I pointed out to her that I was told because I was not from the province I would have my consultation apt and dietician apt back to back- she says oh your not from MB.. UMMMMM no .. the whole time I am thinking wow this chick is really dumb ( for lack of a better term) she then informs me that they are still only working on Manitoba patients but will check with the partners in the firm.. Came back as a no.. well I cried for 2 days- I was totally crushed... I wanted it so bad.,.. Well it spurred me into eating healthier and for the first time in 10 years I started losing weight.. I am ashamed to say it but at Christmas I weighed 265 lbs. To date I am 234 lbs now... WOW hey.. well I have stopping losing and have been stuck at this weight for a couple weeks.. so I made the decision to start the Ideal Protein program... I plan to write about my progress everyday.. as I know this will be a tough journey...

Wedding Photos... a few anyways.. lol




My babies... Chris, Patrick and Maddison
I am still new to this blogging thing... lol I still have not figured out how to post pictures... need someone that can give me a lesson in how to work with this...
Things here in our lives are as usual - very busy... I have now been working full time at the Cornerstone Credit Union here is Tisdale... wow there sure is alot to learn.. and even more on the way as we are learning and implementing a new banking system...
I will knock on wood that none of us have had that dreaded flu that plagued alot of people we know... some who just could not get rid of it (right Tara...)
On this note... A friend that I have not spent to much time with is moving away... This saddens me so very much... I wish that her and I (and out families) could and should have spent more time together.. My kids will miss these wonderful and beautiful children so much... and I will miss Tara very much as it seems that her and I are kindred spirits... we click... and I am going to miss her.. miss being able to wave at each other from our front windows.. no sweet little faces waving at me as I come home from work or just go out and about.../

anyways I do know that their move is supposed to be a good one for them so I wish them all the best in the world...
