So slow...

OK I'm at 201.6. Jeez... Inching along here, slowly but surly. I guess the turtle did win the race huh... LOL I'm waiting to wake up one morning and be in ONEderland, but nope - not today. Damn. I had Monday off for some strange reason, so I did go to the pool. I even stayed at the shallow end a bit longer and jogged the pool and did push up's just for some extra cardio. Guess it's time for a change in cardio a bit. Next week I think I'll give my old aerobics class a try again. Might kick my ass, but I need to give her dance aerobics class a try again.

I have family coming down this week to visit me for my birthday. This week worked out for all of us. I can't wait. I got a room at our timeshare for $70 bucks with a 3 bedroom/kitchen and that jet tub again. It's right on the ocean with the waves crashing on the rocks. My house isn't very big so were staying by the ocean for a treat. We fix fresh oysters and lots of wine and good company with my aunt and mom. Sounds fun and I can't wait to see them.

Anyway, just needed to nag a bit this morning. I'm too close, I will not give up. I know I just have to change it up some. But I want this more than anything and I'm not going to let myself down. The Dr. gave me a tool and I will not disappoint myself. Just need a little push guys. :)

For Dawn: She asked me on my blog why my Dr has told us (MGB patients) not to have coffee anymore. I know Dr are different but Dr. Rutledge tells us that the acids in coffee are not good for your small pouch. So it's not the caffeine I'm to stay away from, it's the acids in coffee that are not good for your pouch. Ulcers are a big concern with having WLS, so things like smoking, coffee, soda and others things are not recommended by him. He gives us the facts and the rules and it's your job to follow them. Take care of your new pouch for your future. I can have green tea, but I have yet to find a hot green tea I like so far. Lipton has a great iced green tea, but it's still not coffee. So I'm just following my Dr.'s orders. Strange how some Dr. don't have the same recommendations huh??? But ya, it's about the acids in coffee and your pouch Dawn.
