CWCEBMEY's CalorieKing blog

View CWCEBMEY's food & exercise for this day
It has been so long since I've blogged. Since my last blog in April, my daughter got married on August 9th. She wanted a Fall wedding, and we were planning that. Then, my son came home with news of his possible deployment to Afghanistan in September or October. So we moved the wedding up and increased the stress factor.
The wedding was beautiful, elegant, touching, and fun. My son and husband had a bet on who would cry first, my daughter or myself. My son won the $5 bet. As soon as I saw my daughter walking down the aisle on her father's arm, I cried. Then she saw me cry, so she cried. We are a couple of boobs.
My son is on orders now. He will be leaving for some training tomorrow. He'll be gone the rest of the month. He'll come home for the weekend and then sometime between November 3-7 he'll go to Indiana for some more training. In January, he'll be deployed.
My weight has stayed about the same. It has been about the same since I joined Calorie King. Each day, I begin with the resolution of doing the right thing, exercise, eat healthy, log in my food. Each day, I notice too many areas where I've failed. Last night, I wasn't even hungry, but I ate some ice cream. I was bored. I told myself I was bored. But still, I went to the freezer and ate the ice cream out of the container.
Today, I should have gotten out of bed and gone to the gym. But I had a headache and decided to stay and sleep. I slept until 7:30. I know I won't exercise tonight after work. So then I tell myself to stick within my calorie range. So far, so good. But I know it is only a matter of time before that goes by the wayside.
So, I have decided to enter into my blog. To really recognize the problem. Which I've done again and again. Yesterday, I thought a lot about the surgery my cousin had. It is called the "sleeve". Her stomach is now the size of a banana. The surgeons did not resect her bowel. She was about my size, weight and height. She had the surgery at the end of June and has lost 50 pounds. The weight loss is slower than gastric bypass, but I think faster than the lap band. She went to Mexicali to have the surgery and it was $8000.
I want to be able to say, I lost the weight by eating less and exercising more. I want to say that I'm now living the life that every person should be living. I want these things, but do not seem capable of following through and getting them.
