June 30, 2009 11:34 a.m.

the time has come the time is now.

I am still finding my way here… trying to figure out how to make this place work best for me.

but after a FABULOUS weekend at the beach with 7 of my WLS girl friends, I am back today a tuesday… on a liquid diet…  not so much because i don’t know what else to do but because I do and I find it hard.

I’m trying liquids today (crystal light, protein drinks, coffee, water)  with some veggies and nuts in hopes of losing some weight for my July 9th weigh in.

If i lose weight, i can be submitted to the insurance and move forward with the surgery I so want.

so in the name of honesty:

Scale 262 (chinese on Sunday, quiznos for dinner last night retaining a ton of water)

breakfast

coffee w/fat free half and half and sugar free vanilla syrup

started out drinking crystal light

so far

47 oz cherry limeade (walmart brand crystal light)
23 oz orange (again walmart brand)

UPDATE: 1:41 PM

23 oz apple (again walmart brand)

1 atkins vanilla shake (around 9:30)

now it’s all I can do to think about the food I DID bring with me… nuts and carrots and hummus….

but since you can’t drink and eat at the same time and i’m working my crystal light I have to wait.

just teaching myself I guess.

Waited till 12 noon

having carrots and hummus

1:19 pm

had 200 calorie packs of almonds.

2:10

have NOT had any of the salt water taffy i brought for everyone else.  still working on the 23 oz of apple drink.

NOT a bad night
