Aloha
Well I finally am feeling better, and also had three nice days off. I slept for most of Friday, but then had Sat & Sun to have some R&R and some fun with DH.
And the best part???? I did not totally blow my new eating plan even thou I had a wkend off and we went out to eat a couple times. Usually weekends off with my DH are disasters for me, but not this weekend….yay! I did have a small piece of pizza on Friday night because I was lazy and tired and did not want to cook or even throw a salad together. It is the first fatty high calorie food I have had in a long time, and it also had meat on it and I have been really anti meat the past two weeks. About two hours later, I truly regreted eating that pizza. I thought I was dying from a heart attack. OMG, I had such chest pain and thankfully I knew it was from the pizza and the fact that I cannot blech since my surgery so I knew I had a raging case of heartburn and indigestion. But oh how it hurt. No more fatty junk for this chickie.
And today I weighed in and I am offically 199 pounds, down 8 pounds….yay! And when I did my Wii fit today, my trainer was very proud of my weight loss and so to please her I did an extra 15 minutes of aerobics. And then I ran for 20 minutes before coming to work tonight, so got some decent exercise in today. Tomorrow I am working a double shift, so no Wii and no run, so thought I would have a good day today. I am off again on Weds and Thursday which is nice and then back to work a three day weekends.
I am flying to Oahu on the 6th to spend the weekend with DH. We are renting a nice room in a 5* hotel and going to just have some quality time away with each other. Going to take in some nice resturants and sights and just enjoy being off this island for awhile. I confess to having a bad case of island fever right now. Sometimes even paradise can seems confining after a while.
Nothing else new to report…so ciao for now ![]()

Omigosh! You’ve been sick, too!!! Probably got it from reading my post. Damned New England germs will spread any way they can, you know. Good grief, what a schedule you have! SO glad you’re getting a nice little “away” break. Sounds like just what the doctor (would) order, eh? Congrats on being so good about your eating and exercising - and it’s paying off! Good going!
I’m better, now, and STILL at work. One day I’ll retire. I KNOW I will. LOL.
8 pounds? That’s amazing! And, you’re under 200!!!
Ahh, fatty pizza. I’m actually looking forward to the time when that kind of crap makes me sick!
And I am SO glad to hear that things are going so well with DH- a weekend away a year ago? Ha! And, I feel the same thing. I live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and yet sometimes I just want to get the heck out of here!
Great job on your progress!!
WOW!!!!! 8 pound! That Wii and treadmill are really earning their keep! You kick ass!
I love your getaway! 5 star hotels - count me in! Makes you feel like you’re one of the rich folk!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better darlin!
