The weight loss journey.

Just thought I'd quicky say...the gastric bypass journey is still and ongoing thing...LOL! I lost one more pound, but that is after gaining 4 of them back. I believe they were water pounds, because I bought some of those little packs of stick pretzels. 120 calories per pack. I ate one pack one day, and the next day...I had gained 2 pds. Now mind you everything else I ate was pretty much as usual. The next day, I ate 1 more pack and gained another pd. One more pack the next day and one more pd. Well, at this point I decided that pretzels are my enemy...and have not eaten the other packs. In the next three days..(yes, even with a water pill it took me three days ) to lose that water wieght, plus one more pd.(not only the water pill, but iced tea, and watermelon...)
I have decided that even though pretzels are lower in fat...they are not a friend to me. No more pretzels...No more pretzels...no more.......I will try really hard...LOL.

Weekend project

Here is my friend album that I made for a special lady. I thought that I would share it with you. I think it turned out quite well and was sooooooo much fun. If you look really close, you can see my first attempt at making a figure out of fimo clay. Back between the roll of tape and the calculater on my desk. .That was unintentional, but well...he wanted to be shared too.

Have a good day...and make it your own. In other words....enjoy it.

Gastric bypass update

Wow, its been a long time since my surgery. I have lost 131 pds. Feeling pretty good most of the time. I can tell when I eat too much and don't forget it...LOL!!! To be honest, I do eat too much sometimes, but mostly I do pretty well. I have not been so good, with the exercising. I probably could lose some more weight if I could only get myself back into excercising. I started this journey weighing 320 pds. Now I am 189. I would like to lose another 14 pds. I am still trying, but sometimes I just need to work a little harder.

Well, here are my latest birthday cakes. I have decided that paper decorations look really cool on a cake and they are so....much fun to make and so easy. If you will notice, the 3-D car on my brothers...The picture is kind of hard to see, but I put my brother at the wheel....LOL....

On the one for Paula, the little eeyore in the middle is made of clay. I was pretty proud of the fact that I made an eeyore figurine, and it came out quite well. Sometimes I even amaze myself...LOL!!!
