Sorry everyone, I have been super slack on my postings lately. Things are just a bit weird right now and well half the time I wonder whether I am coming or going. My mind is just so scattered lately and I just can;t seem to get a grip on things..
But I just got back again from Up-north for another weekend of deer hunting.. Once again I got skunked but I am leaving again on Weds evening and will have the entire Thanksgiving weekend to try my luck some more. I did see deer this weekend but nothing I was able to get a shot at and of course got a ton of exercise and fresh air so it is all worth it. I so love it up-north. I wish to hell I could chuck everything and move up there and not look back!!
Well as far as my health goes I am getting a bit worried. This past week I have been really having issues with nauseousness and have had trouble with eating. I can only eat a few bites and then I get stomach pains. Like for instance I just had some chicken and rice.. Ate about 3 bites and the stomach pains started as well as vomiting. It is really making me wonder, I am over due for my check up so I guess I need to get in there and see what they say. It is not happening every time I eat but quite often and I am not seeing any pattern with any certain type of foods triggering it. I also have been pretty stressed out lately so I am almost wondering if that may have something to do with it. So I guess I am just gonna keep close tabs on it and see what happens .
Now for some dating update, I spent quite a bit of time with Jerry again this weekend. he really does seem to be a nice guy, We spent Sunday hunting together so that was pretty cool. He really does seem pretty cool so I guess we will just continue the way it is for now and see what happens. The real test will be when Hunting season is over and I am no longer driving up-north for the weekends.. I guess we will see then just how serious he is about wanting to see me then. I mean he seems very genuine but for me actions speaks louder then words... I am not very trusting when it comes to men and what they say so hopefully he will prove me wrong.
I know I did not post a weigh in on Friday either so I will go ahead and post what I weighed in at this morning .
Official loss of -2 lbs this week
Total weight loss -117 lbs
Not too bad.. I guess the days of big numbers are gone but hey a steady 2 lb per week weight loss will be just fine for me. I mean it all adds up in the end. I am told that the majority of the weight I will lose will all be in the 1st year so if you consider that factor I have about 22 more weeks to go and at 2 lbs per week average that will be another 44 lbs and that I would be totally happy with.
Well I guess that is all for now.. I will really try to keep up better with my postings at least after the Thanksgiving holiday.. Then everything will settle down some and I should be able to post more.
Everyone have a good one.
And as usually I am looking for work so if anyone hears anything pass it on my way..

I am back !!!
Hey all . Sorry for the delay.. My mind as been going a mile a minute and well most of what is going through it is not good. But Hey I will get over it I always do..
Anyways the hunt was fun. I missed 2 bucks ( the 4-legged kind) One opening morning and then another on Sunday night.. Boy that sure pissed me off.. I got buck fever and did not take my time when going for the shot. But hey at least I saw something most everyone else went the whole weekend without seeing anything. I do need to give kudos to my nephew Cody, he got his first buck on Saturday night.. I could not have been more proud!!! It is moments like that I wish my father was still alive to be able to see it. I will be going back up north for the Thanksgiving weekend so hopefully I will get something then.
Now on for the 2-legged buck story.. I met Jerry up there and spent a bit of time with him. He is really a nice guy, in a goofy up-north kinda way, very quiet and soft spoken( which we all know is the opposite of me) but he really seems to like me for who I am.. Actually tells me quite often that I am pretty and sexy..lol.. ( I tell him that he must have pretty low standards lol.. he of course swears that he doesn't) He is very supportive of my surgery which is really appreciative and actually has a brother who had the surgery a month before me. He seems to be a very hard worker and did not think twice about helping me with anything that I needed done. He was very sweet!! and most importantly and those who know me know I say this all the time. He is way more manlier then me...lol..... He took me to his home and I met his mother and some of his family members so he must be serious about getting to know me further.. So I guess we will just see where it goes and take it from there,... I just really have an issue with the long distance thing, but I guess why dwell on what I can't change.
I got on the scale when I got home wondering if I dropped any extra weight and was surprised to only have lost 1 pound.. I am not making that an official loss though until my normal weigh day of Friday. I was very active over the weekend and my body is super sore.. My legs, arms, neck back, butt, you name it it is sore.. I guess it is from all the tromping around in the woods loaded down with rifles, ammo, and 30 lbs of clothing. Can you imagine how I would be if I still had the 115lbs of fat still clinging to me.. I would have been a heart attack waiting to happen. Thank god I am smaller then I was.. and I am so looking forward to getting even smaller.. I can't wait to reach that 199 mark... it seems so close but yet so far..
Well I Guess that is it for now. Once again though I am asking you to all keep me in mind for an job opportunities that you may know of or if you need any mortgage info..
Talk to you all soon !! Mechele

It's Hunting Time
Yes the day is here and I am leaving this afternoon for a weekend of hunting.. I am so looking forward to it..It is gonna feel so nice to be able to go out in the woods and not be lugging my big fat ass around the woods like before and be able to climb up and down tree stands with no problems.. I just hope that I actually see something to shoot. And well let me be honest a woman in a typically mans sport.. I will pretty much be able to get me both a 4 legged and 2 legged buck...lol...
But no actually I am also kinda excited to be going for another reason.. I told you a while back about a guy that I met through the web that lives up north and seemed like a pretty good potential. What I have not told you is that I am still talking with him and I will be also spending some time with him this weekend. How much, who knows?? but I really have kinda a good feeling about this one so we will see what happens.. I am anxious to spend more time with him to see just exactly how well we click.
Since I am not gonna be near a computer this weekend or particularly tomorrow for my weigh in I did it a day early.. I am glad to say that this week I have lost
Weight Loss -3lbs
Total weight loss -115lbs
It is still coming off, so that is exciting news. I know that it is definitely slowing down but hey I will take every little bit that comes my way.. This weekend I will be curious to see what I kind of numbers I pull since I will be very active and I usually I drop big numbers when I have weekends like that.
Also, I would like to touch on something that my fellow blogger Alan mentioned to me on my last post.. Something that I did not really think about to much until he brought it up.. The picture of me and My dog Porter is a great photo.. I just love my dog.. but anyways I was squatting down with him.. This as a general rule is not something most anyone thinks about.. But for me this is HUGE.. Before my surgery I could not squat, it was impossible!!! My knees could not handle my weight nor was it ever a pretty sight to see me getting back up.. So anytime I needed anything from below it was bend over and kill my back, not to mention everyone getting the view of my huge butt. Now after losing 115lbs I can squat down and not have to suffer the pain and embarrassment of getting back up. You just really can't imagine how something so simple can be such an accomplishment. Anyways just wanted to bring that up..
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend.. I will be back Tuesday with what I hope is exciting news of my weekend hunt..
Everyone have a great weekend..
Oh And well I hate to put this on here but beggar's can't be chooser. I am need of some extra cash flow.. anybody who knows of any job leads, whatever it is, could you pass them along to me? Thanks.

Well another week is here
And I am looking forward to it hopefully flying by.. I have allot of stuff to keep me busy this week so I hope it will make things go faster .. I am leaving Thursday afternoon to go hunting so there is allot of preparation involved in that.. I am very excited to go hunting again as it has been a long time.
Here is a picture of me from Sunday. Me and my brother were target practicing with our rifles to get ready for the big day... Gee and I wonder why I can't find a man.. This pictures is enough to probably scare anyone.. lol..
The weekend was good, I got to spend allot of time with out-of-state family and well the party Saturday night was a bunch of fun.. Lots of drinking (I know, I know I am not supposed to but I gave up everything else I figure I can cheat a bit on the drinking thing) and a whole bunch of dancing which those who know me, know that I love to dance.. I wish there was some kind of exercise class I could do the just involves dancing..I would never get tired of that..
Sunday my Brother, sister in-law and myself hung around a bit doing some stuff. My sister-in-law took some photos of me so here are a few for you to see
Me & TJ
Anyways. I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a stress free week to come.
Talk to you all later..

I feel good...
and I look good too.. Sorry for the delay.. I had my hair cut and colored today and well nothing like having that done to make you feel good.. My stylist had not seen me in quite awhile and he was full of compliments as well as another guy who works there, he had no idea who I was and when he finally realized it was me he was like WOW!!! you look terrific.. Talk about some major ego boosting..
Now for the weeks weight loss. I did not do as good as I hoped but I also have to admit that I did not try as hard as I said I would either. I did increase my protein quite a bit and really made sure I took all my vitamins so that is a good thing..
So the results of this week are..
Weight loss -2lbs
Grand total -112lbs gone ... Wow ... it is really amazing every time I write it.
Last week I was talking with my youngest nephew (he just turned 13) and he said he weighed that much (112lbs) and I was like geeze I lost a whole person so far.. When you look at it from that angle, I mean actually seeing a physical person who weighs as much as I have lost it is very amazing and makes me feel good!! I really can't wait to hit that 199 mark !!
Now on to the weekend.. My cousins are here from TN and I am looking forward to some fun again this weekend. They are here to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary and are having what will be a great party..Lots of dancing and of course booze and whatever other trouble we can find. I should be very busy and very active.. the theme of their party is to wear all your old bridesmaids and groomsmen outfits. believe it or not I have a old bridesmaid dress that actually fits but just wearing that by itself is not enough for these guys... so since I am 38 and always a bridesmaid never a bride..I am going to wear a gray wig, glasses, have a walker and wear a sign that says old Maid.. LOL. it should be pretty funny..
Well I guess that is all for now, I am really looking forward to my hunting trip that is coming up so that is 6 days and counting..
Talk to you all soon Me-Chele

A sad day for me.
But apparently a happy day for others.. Well I am not really one to want to use my blog site for anything other then my original intention but today I am making just a slight exception.. I am very disappointed that our country choose the president that they did..I really don't understand what people are thinking but I guess there is really not much I can do about it now..So with that being said I just hope and Pray that in a few years I am not gonna be saying "I told you so" and I swear that if I ever hear one more thing about racism among the black and the white from anyone again I will go ballistic... Sorry if that offends anyone but really too bad if it does.
I am in good mood today can you tell...
Anyways on too the weight loss talk.. Doing pretty good this week. Not getting in as much protein as I would like but I have definitely increased it this week so that is a a definite plus.. I made an appt with my hair stylist this Friday so he can evaluate my hair and maybe make some suggestions to keep it from thinning further. Maybe I will just say what the heck with it and get a whole new style for my whole new me. I guess it will all depend on my mood Friday morning.. Hopefully it won;t be a bad mood day as I could be tempted to really do something drastic.. lol.. Britney Spears would have some competition on her hands..lol..
Anyways also onto other news, the dating thing has been going good. I have had my share of being dumped as well as my share of doing the dumping.. I think so far there has been more of the later.. But I have recently met someone who shows some promise, so I am very interested to see where it goes. He seems like a pretty decent guy and we are interested in allot of the same things. Only problem with him right now is distance as he does not live close to me at all but on a brighter note, he lives much further north and well those who know me know that I always say I want to be further north... Oh and he has a brother who had bariatric surgery 1 month before me so he was very supportative of everything and that in itself is a great big plus... So we will see what pans out as time goes on, for all I know he could be full of shit like so many others..
well I guess that is about it today . Catch me on Friday for this weeks weigh in.. I am anxious to see if the scale moves any..
Have a great day

protein, protein. protein
Or lack of it should I say..
Well first off sorry I did not get my post in on Friday.. probably better that I didn't anyways as I was very bad all week food wise and lord know I am not sure if I could have mentally handled any kind of weight gain.. I did not even weigh myself on Friday.. So I did weigh myself today and I am thankfully able to say that I am exactly the same weight as I was the week before...
No loss NO gain..
Now on to my protein, We all know that I have said in the past the I am very lax when it comes to getting my protein in..and I know I have said this before but I am making it my mission starting today to really work hard at getting the protein in... While I still have all my hair.. Over the weekend I really noticed large amounts of hair coming out of my head and while I still have allot of it eventually it is gonna start to take its toll. So I am gonna really force feed the protein this week, I think I am even gonna go back to the basics and just have the protein shakes and bars for food this week and maybe that will even jump start my weight loss again.. Seems like I have been kinda slow in that department for a while now and I really want that 199lb mark in the worst way. I would love to be about 215-210 by November 15th.. (opening day of Hunting season) Now I am really not being realistic with that goal but it gives me something to shoot for.
Now as far as my weekend went, I was pretty tame this weekend and did not do a whole lot of anything particular.. Halloween night was at my brothers scaring all the little kids.. That always brings a smile to my face specially when they cry...lol.. I know, I know that is extremely bad on my part but well I just can;t help myself. I will also be happy to tell you that I did not sample any of the treats...wasn't even tempted. Saturday and Sunday just did some errands and nothing else much. My back was really bothering me still from my fall last weekend so I just thought it best to chill out.
So here we are to another new week.. Hopefully it will bring some excitement and good news specially with the economy and as always...Shameless plug here... If you need any mortgage advice new purchase, refinance, whatever be sure to contact me..
Happy Monday Everyone... Me-chele
