Well on my way!!!

ok so lets just go ahead and start with the weigh in

Starting weight- 378

Current weight (july 26th) 372!!

First goal- lose 5% (360)

Yep thats right thats a whopping total of SIX POUNDS since I started. The pills seem to be helping and I havent really had that many "treatment effects". I've been trying to eat better and not eat as late at night. I'm going to start walking tomorrow not sure if i'm gonna take awbrie with me or if i'm going to wait till she goes to bed at night and then go for a walk.

Things with Tony are going good. We are officially dating and i'm falling back in love with him all over again. I'm still scared and he knows that but so far its all working out. He went to the doctor with me thursday which was nice that we got to spend some time together even if it was at the docs. Speaking of doctors, I had an appt with the endocrinologist on thursday. Things with my thyroid are much better. I officially dont have to take any meds now. My numbers are down, in fact they are just a lil low but not low enough to go back on the synthryoid. So i go back in 3 months just to double check and then if everything is still good then i go back in 6 months and if everything is STILL good then I only have to go once a year.

Did i mention I have some AWESOME friends??? oh I haven't well I do. I am so glad JeanneMarie and I got reconnected, its been awesome to have such an awesome loving supportive friend and her husbands not half bad either (he-he just Kidding you know i love you too Matt). Its even better that Awbrie has a new friend now to. She absolutely adores Alex!! Brian on the other hand shes not to sure yet, they just need to spend some more time together. Looking forward to my next check in and continue to see the progress.....Oh yeah BTW I am making Lasagna for the FIRST time ever for dinner tonight. So I'm sure I will be filing you all in on the success or failure of my lasagna.

Weekly menus

So I got this great idea from an awesome friend of mine (thanks JeanneMarie) about making a monthly menu for dinners so i have done that for the first time this month and the other weekend we went together to do our grocery shopping for our menus (and had some girl pampering with mani/pedi's it was great and cant wait to do it again). So i've broken the main month down into weekly and thought I'd share our weekly menus we you all.

July 19th Pasta Cheese and Trees with lil smoked sausages

July 20 Left overs

July 21 Eggs and corned beef hash

July 22 Mexican Rice bowl

July 26 Slow Cooker Lasagna

July 27 Chicken toes Sweet Potato Fries and Pea

July 28 Pizza mixed Veggies

July 29 Mini Shrimp Scampi with angel hair pasta

July 30 Creamy Herb & garlic Chicken over Gnocchi with Asparagus

July 31 Mozzarella salad w/ avocado roasted corn & tomato

Aug 1 Leftover or Eat out

update

I know its been awhile since I posted. Things in my life have been crazy lately (but kinda a good crazy). i messed up with the Alli pills and ended up to 384 (that was a big part of why i hadnt posted anything kinda disappointed) but now as of this morning I was down to 376(if i remember right thats two pounds below my starting weight ). The other big thing going on in my life right now is the fact that Awbries dad (tony) told me he wanted me back and wanted to work things out, so after lots of thinking we are now dating again and taking things slow (there will be absolutely no moving in till i'm done school (which is three years from now) but so far things are going. He said he is determined for things to work, hes even mentioned the M word several times. Thats much further down the road though. I'm glad things are finally starting to fall into place, things with awbrie and school and my health and now with tony. I got my paper work about finical aid yesterday all thats in place so now i just need to go buy my books. So all in all my life is pretty good now, I've got some awesome friends (the whole Weaver Clan) a beautiful spirited little girl, a relationship that I really think is going to work this time and family that loves me.

Day One

OK so today is Day One on Alli.  I've desided to take it easy with the pills and start out only taking one a day for the first week (with dinner) then the following week I will increase it to two pills a day (breakfast and dinner) and so on.  I'm hoping this works.  My exercise for the week will be spending lots of time in the pool and i'm also going to be doing this workout thing I got for the Wii (not the Wii fit) so I'm hoping all goes well.

My First

Ok so this is my first blog.....Wow where do I start.  This is going to be my place to clear my head and focus on the dreams and goals of my life.  I think I"m going to start with the goal I am strongly focusing on right now, and that would be my weight loss goal. After a year of dieting and trying to do things on my own I finally went to my doctor. She mentioned a prescription pill but was hesitant to give it to me becuase of my thyroid problems.  While there she also suggested I try Alli. So I finally forked up the money and bought the 90 ct starter kit from rite aid (it helped that i had a $10 coupon and Rite Aid has a $20 mail in rebate. I am going to start taking the pill on Monday (June 29th 2009). I am hoping this will work. In this blog I am also going to post my current weight (so please dont mock or laugh), my short term goal with a date and my progress.

June 22, 2009  weight- 378

first goal lose 5% - 360

Long term goal- 170lbs
