SOOOO tired

Not sure what is going on other then my long weekend with no vitamins and protein, as well as the extreme heat really took its toll on me. I have been very tired since returning home and have had no energy to do anymore then what I have to. I have, of course, gotten back on my vitamin routine and have not missed any but it will probably take a bit to get my body caught back up. I had a pretty rough morning Wednesday as my gut was killing me with cramping and diarrhea and then I also had a bit of nausea and vomiting. I assume that it is related to my surgery but one never knows. I mean I just automatically think that any type of illness I have stomach or gut wise is because of the surgery but realistically who knows maybe I just have a little bit of a stomach flu which is also why I am so fatigued. I wonder how you are supposed to be able to know and distinguish between the two. I guess that is why they have doctors, but since it only lasted the morning there was no need to go. Not that I would have gone anyways even if it did last longer. ..lol


My protein intake is still giving me issues.. Of course the issue is that I am not taking in what I am supposed to be. I just have developed a hate for the protein powders/shakes, I do eat some of the protein bars but they are not supposed to be for everyday and I do make sure when I eat my meals that I eat all my protein foods first before anything else. I think, However, I have found the solution.. Protein Ice cream!!! Ice cream is one of my very favorite things and there is another fellow blogger who has a ton of recipes for different flavored homemade protein Ice cream. So for my birthday present to myself (I decided against the new outfit as I think this is more important right now and since money is tight I need to be wise with it) I decided to buy myself and inexpensive Ice cream maker so I can experiment with the protein ice cream recipes that I have found on the link below "The world according to eggface" I am really hoping that this will be my savior as eating ice cream would never be considered a hardship for me...lol I can't wait to get my new toy and try it out.

My hair is definitely getting thinner but so far it is not noticeable to anyone except to myself. I do find that some days the hair loss is worse then others, for awhile I even thought it had stopped but then it will start back up again and specially after this past weekend the hair loss has been quite a bit.

On a brighter note I was outside for a few minutes today talking with my neighbor, after a little bit his wife came out and was surprised that it was me. She said that she had looked outside and seen her husband talking to someone but had no idea who it was. She did not realize that it was me!! Being all the weight I have lost she did not recognize me a first.. How cool is that!! I can't wait to see the reactions of other people that I have not seen in a very long time, I am sure it will be great for my ego ! And I certainly can't wait to show off to all those men, who would not give me the time of day because they could not look past my outer self to my inner self. Boy won't they sure realize that it is there loss and not mine..lol.. (gee I am not bitter at all...lol..)

Well I guess that is all for now. I am very tired and ready to lay down and go to bed. Hope everyone has a terrific Thursday and remember to check back on Friday morning to see if I have been able to maintain my 101 lb loss. I have NOT cheated at all and weighed myself since Monday so I am really hoping that I do OK.. Although it may be a tad difficult as my monthly enemy is making its way for a visit. I am not expecting to lose anymore I just don't want to gain anything.. I absolutely love this 100lb threshold.
