There will be no weight loss surgery for me.

"You live but once; you might as well be amusing."  Coco Chanel

Yup, after a few months of debate, I am back to my original plan.  I am so irritated with myself I can hardly stand it.  Too many yuck factors to any bariatric surgery for me.  So here I go.
 
Starting weight 226.6lbs, 48% body fat, BMI just under 42.  Yikes.  Oh and I am 5'2" and almost 44 years old.

My plan is to start eating 'clean' as much as possible.  Start exercising, even though I feel like some sort of beast.  I want new clothes in size 2/4 as a goal - my mom has bribed me with shopping sprees galore.  She would by me clothes now but I am not wanting to stay in the plus size section.  Five years ago I was size 2/4 so I don't believe it is an impossible feat.  My ideal weight is 120, by me and my doctors (and my mannequin is around a size 4/6).

It would be fantastic to be able to fit comfortably in a six man canoe and be able to paddle my one man canoe again.  Huge goal - to be in shape and strong enough to steer a race (or more) at this years 4th of July regatta in Waikiki.

I am having monitery issues at the moment and am on a serious budget for a month or two.  I will have to make do.  No excuse not to start today.  No more excuses.

Today's menu was..

B- 1/2 cup plain oatmeal
     1 cup low fat milk split between the oatmeal and blk coffee


L- 1/2 white rice
     1/2 cup fat free refried beans
     2 slices of American cheese
     Low sodium V8

S- 2 slices Thinwich multigrain toast
     1 tbs grape jelly

D- 6oz baked Tilapia
     2 cups frozen choped broccoli
     3/4 tbs EVOO split between the fish and the vegies
    
Todays total is 1025 cals 25% fat

Did a small amount of walking the dog - rained most of the day.  Wasn't very hungry today.  Spend time organizing paper work and contemplating my fate.

A hui hou!
