That was a hard 10 pounds--found my dancing shoes

Protein, Protein, Protein...vital to loosing weight. Our bodies are a huge scientific experiment. I had been drinking protein shakes for breakfast. I was told that it would be okay since I am not hungry in the mornings. I truthfully only lost five pounds in the last month. My hair started falling out. I can hardly keep it up in bun and ponytail right now. Apparently my body is not absorbing the liquid protein. This is what my nurse practitioner told me on Monday at my checkup. She wants me to eat 20 g of solid protein three times a day. That is hard to do in the morning. My blood pressure was back down to normal. That is the good news.

So since Monday at 1 pm I have made sure to stick to the solid protein. I weighed 4 lbs less this morning. This brings me up to losing 10 pounds since the first of September. I can finally say I have lost 60 pounds since January. I was even told today that I need to buy new clothes.

I have lost a total of 12 bags of sugar  28 inches (combined all over total) and I can wear my grandma's wedding rings. My BMI is down 10 points, still considered to be Morbidly Obese. I have 6 points to go until I am "Just" obese. I need to loose 37 pounds to loose that 6 points of BMI. I have lost 1.5 times the weight of my six year old daughter. I have 122 pounds until I meet my goal weight.

I did slip my dancing shoes on while at the Texas State Fair last week. I nicely created two separate scenes while randomly dancing with my daughter and friends. The second time the police came over to break the crowd up that was watching us. It was AWESOME!

Dancing shoes

Working hard on getting back to those dancing shoes. I am watching Dancing with the stars tonight. They had a group tap dancing, i am sitting here thinking I use to be able to do most of that. Now,  I am to scared to get my feet off the floor! LOL. It may take more than loosing another 125 pounds for me to get my feet back up off the floor. I really don't want any broken bones. LOL

I worked out for an hour last night. I need to work out tonight. I am not sure I have time to, I still need to finish grading and other paperwork stuff for work. It is hard to juggle my time between family, work and self. Reminds me....why did women want to work and take everything too? Wish we lived in a world where I could afford to stay home, be pretty and take care of the house. Go to my monthly clubs with the other housewives. LOL, yeah we could take a pay cut and go back on food stamps. However,  I don't think that is the right way to about life. So, I will work, be mom, be wife and take care of myself. Speaking of which, my cross trainer and weights are calling. Everyone have a good week! Please donate to my walk for Suicide awareness. The link is on my last post.

Night, Night.

weekly update--Out of the Darkness #suicide awareness

Later this month I will be walking for the "Out of the Darkness" Community Event. I am walking with a friend from my church as a part of her team "Rush in Stride". This week to help me and be supportive please donate money toward suicide awareness. I watch middle school kids that have cuts and scars on their wrists. I have watched my ex-husband nearly drink himself to death. I remember when the extremes people went to that I worked with at the state hospital to try to kill themselves. I remember my own plan in November 1997 and how it just took one friend to call me and change my mind. She gave me a place to stay for awhile until I was able to stand on my own two feet. Please donate! Thanks!
