Please just call me; "Schultz"

199# this a.m. (Barb calls this being into "!One-derland!")
Below 200#, my goal.
Waist is down to 36"
from a high of 54(2004)
Was 48" in August last year.

Me and the dog have been run/walking now for 2 weeks. I knew I was going to get here. (weight) I was walking her 2 weeks ago and she started pulling the leash. She is a very good dog and heels nicely. I can not explain why that morning she was pulling. So I looked at her and asked if this was what she wanted, then I started to jog. She looks at me, as if to say, !Oh Yeah! !Lets Go! She gets winded before me so we slow down and walk for a bit, then she pulls and off we go. !WooHoo!
I run everywhere I go now.
From the car to the door,
From the shop, onto the lot,
Park a truck and run back to the shop,
They won't let me run through the shop. Boo F-cking Hoo.
Power walk through the stores, (I don't like shopping anyway)
From the door to the car,
Down the street to 7-11,
From the car I have in the driveway to my tool box in the back of the garage,
!Man it feels good!

Tried pot roast last night.
Beef - 6
Schultz - 0
Crap, better luck next time.

Been eating with more 'normalcy'. I usually have a protein drink for breakfast, then something solid for lunch, then protein for dinner, ( sometimes solid food, sometimes a drink, depends on how I feel when I am making my dinner for work) and fruit for snack.

Going out for food is a blast now. Barb and I will split a meal wherever we go. Yesterday we went to "Denny's" for lunch. We split a "Texas Omelet". Got roasted potatoes instead of hash browns, and fruit instead of pancakes. We split the omelet down the middle and each nibbled a bit on the taters and had the fruit for dessert, a glass of water each and it costs $8.00 ($10 after tip) for 2 to eat out. Bwaahaahaa.

260# this am. That is 25# gone since I started on the clear liquids before surgery, or 15# since last Wednesday.
I keep pulling my shirt up over my shoulders. It is so big it falls like a poncho.
!!WooHoo!!
What is your shirt doing now with that other 61lbs missing?

It's pining away at the Salvation Army.


My wife makes a trip there 2x a month to get us new clothes that fit better.
We give the stuff that doesn't fit back to them so they can sell it again.
(Don't worry Cobb, I saved the stuff you said you wanted, just make sure to remind me when you come down again.)

You are still a hero, Shultz. Keep up the good work. I'll have to start a diet soon. This winter I've gained about 10#. I need to get a walking route, the driving route I have isn't conducive because it has very little walking. Lots of apartments and businesses, plus serious amounts of driving curbside. Maybe I'll become a VMF dude and follow in your footsteps. ;) God bless you Shultz.

:banana Go, Schultz, go! I have been watching your progress since this thread was started. I have been very impressed with your determination and sense of humor to reach your goal. You have what my grandmother used to call "stick-to-it-ness". (don't ya love granny?)

Cobb,
You have made big strides toward a healthy life as well.
Don't sell yourself short.
Remember why you are able to sell your old power wheelchair.
I look to you for inspiration as well as support.
See you soon.

Thanks, I was kidding about that. I need to focus more on my diet and what my body needs. I think the reason chineese food for example makes me hungry 10 minutes after a plate of it is the sodium. Ive seen that with other meals, more salt I use more hungry I feel after eating. I just love the floating effect it gives to eat salty food and the warm feeling on your tong.

When I was working on getting of the wheelchair I was constanly sore. I kept cranking up the resistance on the recumberant bike I petaled and did that 45 minutes 3 times a day. For a while my legs felt like they were on fire. At the call center I worked we had free ice and I was filling up bags on my breaks and icing down various parts of my body.

This year I am doing at least 25 cycles on my ab doer backwards and forwards 3 times a week. Hope to do it daily, then twice daily and start adding a few minutes on the eliptical.

Yeah, that "snow storm" was a whole lot of nothing.

Still 199#
????????
Oh well, better luck next week.

Nothing of any real value to add today.
Went to Hopewell,VA this a.m. to pick up my daughter. She is here for the weekend.
We went to Burger King for lunch.
I got a Whopper Jr.
You all know my history with beef.
---But---
I have wanted a Whopper for a while now.
I weighed the pros and cons.
I ordered the junior, same flavor, smaller package.
I cut it in half,
I took a bite.
MmMm
I chew slooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly,
Savor the flavor,
let my tongue experience
the beef,
the mayo,
the tomato,
the lettuce,
a pickle,
!!!Oh Yeah!!!
one more bite,
MmMm
now I feel the burn in my stomach,
the crampy pain in my intestines,
wrap up that burger and bring it home.
It sits in my fridge calling for me to eat some more, to take another bite.
Not happening. One of my kids will eat it for breakfast.
I enjoyed the eating experience.
I don't enjoy the pain.
Whopper - 1
Schultz - 0
But it was worth it.

I find myself now trying things that I am relatively sure will hurt.
I am not a masochist.
I miss being able to eat what I want when I want.
So I make a decision on whether it will be worth the pain to eat something, and deal with the consequences. (everything in life has consequences, some good, some bad, get over it)
Some are worth the pain, some are not.
Just sayin'.
I don't like white meat chicken enough to endure the pain for a bite or two.
I do like beef enough though.
So I take a little here, then in a few weeks a little there.
I can get beef flavor in the all beef hot dogs. Not the same feel in the mouth though. No real chewing satisfaction.

I can get sugar free ice cream. Still, I need to have only a small portion. Stomach only 4 -5 ounces at this point. That's like 1/3 of a Klondike bar.
they make sugar free everything now; cookies, yogurt (Posted Image), ice cream, maple syrup (?), you name it, some one has a sugar free version.

Tomorrow is my sons 30th birthday.
Daughter #1 is making his favorite dinner for him. (steak and potatoes and brussel sprouts. [don't tell G.H.W.Bush])
His favorite cake as well.
I will sit and eat the green veggies.
I may take a small portion of tater.
No steak for me. (although, I was talking to one of my support group members, she takes a bite of steak, chews the he!! out of it, then spits the dreg into her napkin. Flavor, texture, no pain.)
And 1, one, uno, einz, unit of issue - one each, bite of cake.

I still say congrats Schultz, I haven't seen the lighter side of 200 lbs. in the last decade or so.

Lucky him, that's sounds like a good B-day dinner for me too. Thought it was broccoli that GHWBush didn't like?

Watch out for that sugar free stuff, a lot of times they just load it up with fat instead of sugar. Sugar is usually replaced by Aspartame, which is far worse for you, turns into antifreeze inside of you. You're probably not eating enough of it to be a bother, but as time goes on, you may be. Avoid the Aspartame, it's poison.
