Has anyone ever tried that new Special K20 protein water? It claims to help you control your hunger. I gave it a whirl yesterday and today and I think I’m sold. I think it does a wonderful job with taking the edge off of hunger. Has anyone else tried this yet?

Doc got me in for an MRI today at 12:30pm this afternoon. I’m so glad I got it done so quickly! I was thinking I was going to get it scheduled today and then have to go back and do it ..etc, etc, etc.. So this is awesome! Now hopefully they can find out what my malfunction is and get it fixed! I did not, however make it out for my 5:30 am walk today..I just couldn’t do it!! I hurt to stand and to even take a deep breath! I’m gonna give it another shot tomorrow though. Isn’t it weird? I really really want to go out and excersise now days and I can’t!! It just figures!

Well thank you all for listening to me whine ..I appreciate it much more than you know. I hope everybody had a good day today.

Hello fello buddyslim.com people. I’ve returned from my brief hiatus. I’ve somehow managed to injure myself and I’ve been off licking my wounds all weekend. I’ve been to the doctor today to further investigate what it was exactly that happened to my low back. I’ve been in ..well a LOT more pain that usual so I’ve got an MRI scheduled for this wednesday.

Ya know? It’s kinda weird. You know, going on and on about personal issues to people you’ve never met before in your whole life. But for some reason I feel I’m among friends and that feels pretty darn good to me ..well, anyway..

Doc told me not to be lifting anything and that I shouldn’t be walking until after the MRI. I’m thinking that my discomfort is minimal while I’m standing upright and/or walking. It’s bending, twisting, lifting, and posititioning myself in bed that really smarts. So I’m gonna be all hardcore and go for the 5:30am walk in the morning. I just will cut the walk in half and see how that goes. I mean ..I’m gonna be in pain wether I’m sitting on the couch or out walking a bit and getting some fresh air so I might as well go for it right? Or maybe I’m a complete idiot. I just get so mad at myself sometimes. I mean I’m 29 years old! I’m way too young to be dealing with this sh*t!! Thanks for listening to me whine. God bless you for it. *haha

So I woke up this morning feeling pretty stiff and sore. Nothing terrible but it’s definatly grabbing my attention. I think that means I’m doing something right ..right? *haha The power walk got cancelled this morning but I’m sort of playing with work out options for this afternoon. My son doesn’t go to school on fridays so I think I’ll trick him into walking with me with the promise of getting ice cream at the Drive-in. I’m so clever ..MUAHHAHA!!

Hope you’re all having a good one!

Well buddies I think I’m actually starting to enjoy powerwalking in the morning. (Doesn’t that just make you sick?) Hallie and I have discovered a new way to kick it up a notch ..or SEVEN! We thought we’d climb the court house stairs at the end of our walk. The court house here in town only has 4 floors but why did it feel like 8? *haha probably because we went up and down them twice I would imagine! lol I’m soooo out of shape. But I’m working on it!  Thanks for listening to me brag about myself. It feels so darn good to be doing something worth braging about for a change! I hope all of you had a good day as well. KISSY!

Well folks I had an exhilarating power walk this morning at 5:30am. I’m really starting to learn to love it. I didn’t get a walk in yesterday morning because there was a couple of feet of snow on the ground, my walking partner had to cancel and my back was really bothering me. I take morphine for my back folks, and many times even after taking that my back still hurts. So needless to say it was pretty bad. I’m doing much better today though. I could really tell that I didn’t excersise yesterday. My energy was pretty much nonexistant.  

I also wanted to share that I got my first compliment in a long time yesterday! My son’s teacher asked me if I was losing weight. Of course I said “yes” and she said that she could tell!! Isn’t that awesome!?!? Validation feels so darn good. lol

I hope all my fellow buddyslimers are doing well today because we are pretty bad ass

Okay I had a wonderful power walk with my buddy, Hallie this morning at 5:30am. It was 25 degrees outside and snowing but not very cold at all really ..but blah, blah, blah Now to the good part! I got the guts to measure myself this morning. I took my initial measurments on March 11. So as of today I’ve lost 1 inch from my bust, 1 inch from my right arm, 1/2 an inch on my left arm, 1/2 an inch on my right thigh, and 1 inch on my left thigh. The rest stayed the same. So what is that? 4 inches!?!?!  Okay so I’m a bit lop-sided now but I’m compleatly thrilled that I lost anything at all!! I won’t weigh in again until next week. I’ve been going by my doctors scale since he’s the one that put me on this diet. So needless to say; I am one happy camper this morning!

I was just reading a few blogs this afternoon and it’s amazing how candid and honest you people are. I have yet to read a blog that I couldn’t relate to all too well. This web site isn’t just about weight loss ..it’s so much more than that. LIFE has an increadible influence on everything we do! Every goal ..every everything! Comming here and sharing with you guys makes me feel like I’m not alone. It feels so good to know that! I’ve felt so alone growing up as the “fat girl” in school. Comming from a small town, I was literally the only one with any kind of a significant weight problem. Getting tortured daily about it didn’t help matters either. That being said, I just wanted to tell you people how good it feels to be able to come here and talk about my accomplishments as well as my short commings. Sorry to get all sappy on you guys. lol I’m just so glad I stumbled across this site.

Well there is snow on the ground today. The temp at 5am was 26 degrees which felt beautiful today. Hardly any wind too which is rare for south dakota. I had a nice power walk this morning with my walking buddy. Some awesome meaningless conversation too. That always passes the time quickly. I’ve been doing wonderfuly with my diet as well. As you probably know, I’m on a doctor supervised (mostly) liquid diet. I made my kiddo shells and velveeta cheese for supper last night. I had about a cups worth of it along with some stewed tomatoes. (I’m weird) *haha. I made my son french toast this morning for breakfast and I had none! I don’t even feel ripped off or anything! *haha I am a little sore from my little skating expedition yesterday but nothing terrible. Since I’ve started walking on the week day mornings I’ve felt so good! Better than I have felt in quite a while. I really do have more energy during the day. I’m experiencing more mental clarity. (God knows we all could use more of that.) I was never really able to stick to any kind of excersise program for any significant length of time while on my own. I am very good at talking myself out of excersise. So to those of you looking to start a regular excersise schedule I highly recomend finding a buddy to work out with you. It really does make a big difference.

I hope all of you are well this morning. I am very greatful for this site and for all of you good people. I really enjoy being able to blog regularly about what’s going on in my head. I like reading others blogs too. I often find them quite helpful and encouraging.

Well it was 26 degrees outside this morning at 5am .. I heard a faithful *tap *tapping on my door which ment that my cousin Hallie was on the other side ready to go for another powerwalk. (You guys do know that she is the only reason I go at all that early in the morning) She and I keep eachother accountable. I step outside and the entire town is a sheet of ice!!! I took one step off of the front porch and I found myself gliding all the way to the end of the sidewalk! *haha My first thought was “Screw this! I’m gonna break my neck!” Then Hallie suggested we skate instead of walk. lol …So we did! We actually slipped and slided our way down the road for 2.5 miles in our nike’s! My thighs are on fire!!! lol Talk about making the best of a situation huh? *haha My toes are still stuck in the ‘curled’ position at this very moment. *haha I’m gonna be feeling this workout tomorrow for sure! *haha
