Great news!! Leah came out of the coma, and she is okay! Thank God!!!! They don't know what caused it, but they are monitoring her and say she could be released very soon!

Thank you Amber, and yes you are so right. I would love to have my family together, when I think about it in my head it looks great, but in reality is isn't like that.

Weight Today: 202.5

Month end at work, so it's crazy around here.

Food:
B- Meatballs with pizza sauce and cheddar. Coffee
L- beef jerky, cheese stick, pudding cup
D-??

Yesterday I ate dinner at my parents. My Aunt made a delicious BBQ chicken and I had coleslaw and 2 deviled eggs.

Surprised my weight is down so low. I didn't drink any alcohol last night and I drank a lot of water AND went to bed around 9:30 or so.

TexasMommy · 03-02-2012, 07:49 AM

Weight: 203

While my cousin is out of her coma, her heart is only functioning at 25% right now.

Last I heard is that she had a bad migraine and that she vomitted in her sleep. Doc said she really did use up one of her 9 lives. Still praying that her body continues to heal.

Food Plan:
B- meatballs, pizza sauce, cheddar, coffee
L- Chili, 1 cheese stick
D- Don't know yet

I've been eating dinner over at my parents the past several days. I just have no "oomph" and don't even feel like making a scratch meal. The meatballs I've been eating in the mornings are frozen (now gone) and the lunches I've been bringing (if I bring one) are leftovers from my parents' house. Hopefully I can shake out of this funk but for now, I'm just doing what I can.

I'm still waiting on the TV i ordered from walmart to arrive to the store. I've been checking the tracking and so far it's been at the Service Center in Oklahoma City, then the trailer went to El Paso, then went to Dallas, then went BACK to the Service Center in Oklahoma! If that's right, the truck must have just made a huge triangle.

TexasMommy · 03-03-2012, 07:12 AM

Weight today: 200.5

Food plan is nonexistent today, but brekkie was hot breakfast sausage patties and three scrambled eggs with cheese. Have to study and read for school today.

Izzysdream · 03-03-2012, 08:15 AM

Still sending prayers Cass. It's been a stressful week on top of quitting smoking 4 days ago. Can't wait for Las Vegas next weekend...I need some sun and pool time....

TexasMommy · 03-05-2012, 09:36 AM

Congrats for quitting! I'm still smoking like nobody's business.

OOOOHHH Vegas! That will relieve some stress!

Weight Today: My scale said 200.5, but when I weighed in at work it was 202.

Food plan:
B- coffee
L- ?? didn't bring lunch but I should be going to lunch with managers
D- Grilled chicken salad if my lettuce is good.

Bejewelme · 03-05-2012, 10:23 AM

200.5 you are so close now hun!!! You are going to make it!

TexasMommy · 03-06-2012, 08:43 AM

Thanks Amber! I figure I will be in the 190's for good in a couple weeks!

Today's Weight: 202.5

28 years old today!

Izzysdream · 03-06-2012, 09:33 AM

Happy Birthday Cass!!!

TexasMommy · 03-06-2012, 12:45 PM

Thank you Denise!! I just ate a HUGE lunch that included some foods with breading. Ah well, it is my birthday LOL. No cake for me though.

Izzysdream · 03-06-2012, 05:25 PM

Love ya!!!

TexasMommy · 03-07-2012, 07:51 AM

204 this morning. Damn fried foods!

Today:
B- sausage patties, 1 omelette
L- cheese stick, 1 omelette, 1 pudding cup
D- ??

P.S. Love you too Denise!!!

Izzysdream · 03-07-2012, 05:37 PM

Today is a much better day! Whew....

TexasMommy · 03-08-2012, 07:08 AM

I forgot to weigh this morning. Actually, my son threw about 5 "baby tantrums" this morning LOL. He cried huge tears and screamed his baby head off because I wouldn't let him have my makeup, eat the buttons on the remote, take everything out from the food storage cabinet, or grab an egg.

He has done this 2 days in a row... I guess that stage in is full effect. Oh joy!

I'm done with Anthony... It's just too much to deal with. I've actually blocked his number from being able to text me. Of course he can call and check on the kids, make plans to have his visitation and whatnot... but i'm done dealing with this other crap.

I've been talking to a new guy who is recently divorced, takes care of his two children, and seems to want the same things I do and have the same high regard for family. He is taking me out to Outback Saturday evening after my DD's 10th birthday party.

I have to let go of my past with my ex and take a leap of faith. I've been single for almost two years "waiting" for my ex to get his **** together.

Last night I had chicken thighs pan fried in oil and LC coleslaw.

Today's Plan:
B- 3 eggs scrambled in OO with cheddar, coffee
L- 1.5 chicken thighs and leftover cole slaw, SF pudding
D- ??

Izzysdream · 03-08-2012, 07:57 AM

Sorry about your mom. My dad has had rheumatoid arthritis for 40 years and in intense pain. I really don't know how they cope long term. I was a big ass baby after a day with mouth pain.

TexasMommy · 03-08-2012, 08:52 AM

I don't know either... It does motivate me to do my best for my health and keeping my body in some sort of shape other than blob. I want to be able to enjoy my 40's and not end up where my Mom is.

TexasMommy · 03-09-2012, 12:43 PM

Today's Weight: 203.5

Got the results of my physical workup back... Everything is good... CBC is normal... Blood sugar is normal... Thyroid is normal... Total Cholesterol 160 HDL:47, Tri:115, LDL:91. Only thing low was Vit. D. which I'm taking 5000 iu per day already. I was hoping that something would account for my tiredness especially during my period. Oh well, doc did say to take iron during my period no matter what my CBC results were.

Okay.... the guy I've been talking to... he is a total sweetheart! We haven't met in person yet, but we have been texting nonstop and getting to know one another. I just bought a new xbox 360 and only have one controller. The other one I purchased got cancelled because it went out of stock. We talked a little about that.... well he sent me a picture a few minutes ago of a new Xbox controller he bought for me! Really, it may sound strange to some women, but the fact that he thought about me and did something other than just "talking" like most guys I've gotten to know says a lot about him!

I can't wait to meet him Saturday, heck I may see if he can come by this evening.

This is corny, but he said women are like flowers... you have to care for them so they can bloom. Okay, I will stop driveling on about him (for now...)

Food:
B- meatballs, spaghetti sauce, cheddar, coffee
L- same as breakfast with green beans
D- ??

Izzysdream · 03-12-2012, 04:57 PM

Hey girl, where are you. Getting worried!

TexasMommy · 03-14-2012, 08:42 AM

Sorry I haven't been checking in.

Trying to get back on plan completely. My weight is up right now. I may be at 208. I will check tomorrow morning.

I hope to see Tim tomorrow after he gets back into town from working. Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday, and I will be going out to dinner with my family. I've got to stay on plan and get back into ketosis. I've had a total of three off plan meals since the weekend. I need to check out some recipes and get some groceries. I think part of the problem is I havne't been creative and I'm getting burnt out.

Jayce · 03-14-2012, 03:51 PM

Hey lady!

Izzysdream · 03-15-2012, 09:40 AM

Happy Birthday to you mom today. Glad you are seeing Tim!

TexasMommy · 03-16-2012, 10:05 AM

Heya Jayce!

Thanks Denise.

Tim and I are meeting for lunch in a few minutes.

I am feeling so fat y'all. I'm back up to 207.

Hopefully I'm back on track today. LOL.

Just got back from lunch with Tim. He's so sweet. He hasn't even kissed me yet.

What a gent! Cool, I'm happy for you Cass!

TexasMommy · 03-21-2012, 06:37 AM

Good morning,

I'm sick and my son has Croup. I haven't taken off work because I'm too busy. I also haven't gone to the grocery store because when I get off work I have zero energy. My brother, sister-in-law, and my neice will be in town late Friday evening, and they will be staying at my house. Saturday is my SIL's baby shower, and I am a hostess. I still need to get a couple things for the shower.

I have been eating off and on plan. If I can get to the store, I think I will do much better. We shall see how I feel later.

TexasMommy · 03-21-2012, 06:38 AM

We have kissed. Friday I took off work an hour early to meet him at a pool hall, and we had our first kiss while standing at the bar. He also came over Sunday night.

He is working out of town for the next few weeks, so I miss him during the week. He is back in town on the weekends though.

Bejewelme · 03-22-2012, 06:41 AM

Hey you found love while I was in my surgery stupor, yeah!! I am trying to get caught back up with everyone!!! I am so glad hun you have met someone nice who shares the same ideals as you in regards to kids, take it slow and let it grow, he sounds wonderful!!! So glad to hear you are happy!
