Don't Eat That

Since I am a day late and as always a dollar short, I’m kicking off he blog-writing-fest tonight by telling you a few tidbits of information.  Yes I know, it’s not Monday and I didn’t tell you any more last week then I have prior til now.  OOPS!

Here’s the scoop.  I haven’t gained any weight and I have had a substantial amount of milkshakes.  As it is, I’ve injured my jaw that I had surgery on in November and I can’t eat much of anything.  For the most part, today’s news from the oral surgeon came with “not even noodles” and no “sucking thick shakes through a straw”.  Great, that’s all I’ve done lately. 

So, I will just put a pack of spoons in my bag…by Go Gaga Bag by the way, have you all seen it?

Because I can and do pack a big punch is this here bag and found myself laughing til I almost peed my pants tonight when my husband declared that a “handbag” is no place for a toothbrush.  Well, who says?

I mean, really, it’s not like I had a full toothbrush and toothpaste in there…who needs it when these Wisps are so easy to toss in the bag?

Anyway, that’s no where near where this post was going.  It was going to the mailman.  Yea I know, I’m warped.  Yesterday, the mailman had a package that I had to sign to even receive.  And in that package…..Your Shape by Jenny McCarthy.

So, now it is on people.  I have EASports and I have Your Shape.  Once my mouth is better so I”m not suffering daily with a monster headache (hopefully after tomorrow), I will get moving…..get my booty moving you hear me?

Watch out world, your gonna see me working out……*shutters*

I’m writing this post a day earlier than normal.  I have a couple of reasons why, one being I am going to be extraordinarily busy tomorrow and I have some awesome news. 

I am currently down a total of 16 pounds.  I am still doing static exercises and if you think I’ve lost my mind and that I should just get over it already and do more exercises, you have to know that the bone graft area hasn’t healed an I’ve already fallen once when putting all of my weight on that food while stepping off my porch.  I have to have more strength in the ankle. 

The other reason that I’m writing this today…..is…I’m treating myself to a piece of apple pie.  And, when I say a piece, I honestly mean a tiny minute piece.  This little piece of pie is probably nt even 1/4 of the size I would normally eat.  But, I bought it pre-made and I”m assuming that the folks that marketed it had ever intention of me eating only one serving of it. 

So, as of October 11, 2009, I am down a rockin’ total of 16 pounds….but next week…..let’s just hope the apple pie doesn’t show up….

And, no one even noticed. Not one person has noticed. I finally asked my husband today and he said that I wear my clothes too baggy for him to notice….whatever!

Ok, so, for the first time since this blog went up and I took the challenge of getting some weight off of me, I’m here to tell you that, I have lost one pound.  No kidding. 

If you remember when we last looked in, I was going up 7, down 9, up 10, down 10, up9, down 8 and so forth. But, this is indeed the second week in a row that I have managed to see a lower number on the scales and not a higher one.

Now, I’m don’t think anyone can tell it.  I mean, I’m still wearing my maternity pants and some other pants that I’ve worn for a couple of years but they are baggy.  A small army could move in the backside of most of them.  But, no clothes purchases until I see if I can make something happen.

Two more weeks for rehab and strength building and then, EASports, here I come!

So, we’ve rounded the curve into July.  The year is half over and I’ve been the cast all but just a few days of it, 24 to be exact.  My plans to start the EASports on June 1st were spoiled by the recuperating from the surgery on my leg.  I had hoped that by June 15th I would be ready, but again, the doctor said no, not yet.

Here we are, again, rounding into July and guess what?  I am still in the cast and on orders to be non-weight bearing for another week.  My ankle hurts where the bone graft was done more than the other place.  As a matter of  fact, it hurts worse than the other injury ever has. 

I put a little weight on it today when I got out of the shower and I have to say that the good doc is a smart one because I am paying the price for it now.  It hurts, a lot.  And, I am sad.

I won’t be starting my round on July 1st either.  And, the 15th may be possible but I will be leaving on the 22nd for Blogher and then returning just in time to get my son ready to go back to school. 

So, I am not setting a start date before August 1st, but as soon as I am given the all clear from the doctor, I will begin and I will log my workouts but I’m not calling it official until August 1st.
